Frequently Asked Questions About Sell Your Car

What does a car broker do when selling my car?

A car broker manages the entire selling process on your behalf. This includes appraising your vehicle, sourcing buyers, negotiating the best price, handling paperwork, and ensuring a smooth handover — all while saving you time and hassle.

How is a car broker different from selling privately or trading in?

Unlike private selling (which requires your time and effort) or trading in (which often gives you below-market value), eCarz works to get you the highest sale price by negotiating with dealers or vetted buyers, all while handling the process professionally.

Do I have to pay the car broker upfront?

In most cases, no upfront payment is required. Our fee is typically built into the final sale and covered by the buyer or dealer. Any fees will be transparently discussed with you beforehand.

Can a car broker sell any type of car?

Yes, eCarz can sell a wide range of vehicles — from everyday sedans to luxury cars, 4WDs, utes, and even classic or specialty models. Some brokers may have networks tailored to specific vehicle types.

How long does it take to sell my car through a broker?

Timeframes can vary depending on the car’s condition, market demand, and pricing. However, eCarz car selling service can often sell cars faster than private sellers due to their existing network of buyers and dealers.

Do I need to do anything during the process?

Your involvement is minimal. You may need to provide vehicle details, service history, and registration documents. From there, we will handle the marketing, negotiations, and paperwork.

Will I get a better price using a broker?

Typically, yes. Brokers leverage their experience and industry contacts to secure a better price than a trade-in or rushed private sale — without the stress and time commitment.

Is my car marketed to private buyers or dealers?

That depends on your car and our strategy. Some cars are best suited for dealer sales, while others may be offered to pre-qualified private buyers. Either way, eCarz aims for the best return for you.
