 AI reviews summary 

The overall sentiment for Cars24 Australia is highly positive, with most users praising the platform for providing a fast, convenient, and stress-free alternative to private sales. The digital-first approach, particularly the virtual inspection process, is frequently highlighted as a major benefit. While some users report frustration regarding price negotiations and persistent marketing, the majority of customers value the efficiency of the service and the professionalism of the staff.

Pros
  • Efficient Virtual Inspections: The remote video inspection process is widely commended for saving time and eliminating the need to visit a physical dealership or manage private viewings.
  • Prompt Payment and Handover: Users consistently report that funds are transferred quickly—often before the vehicle is even collected—providing peace of mind and financial security.
  • Professional Customer Service: Numerous reviews specifically name individual staff members for their clear communication, patience, and guidance through the documentation and sale process.
  • Hassle-Free Alternative: The service is frequently preferred over private marketplaces (like Facebook) because it removes the need for Roadworthy Certificates (RWC) and dealing with "tyre kickers".
Cons
  • Valuation Fluctuations: A recurring complaint involves "bait-and-switch" pricing, where initial online quotes are significantly reduced following the virtual or physical inspection.
  • Aggressive Outreach: Several users report feeling harassed by persistent "cold calls" and messages after listing their vehicles on other platforms or simply browsing the website.
  • Internal Communication Gaps: Some customers experienced confusion caused by multiple staff members contacting them with conflicting information or failing to sync on the status of a sale.
  • Restrictive Conditions: Complaints were noted regarding strict "odometer limits" (both for being too high or unexpectedly too low) and the 50km driving limit imposed between inspection and collection.
Verdict

Cars24 Australia is a highly effective solution for sellers prioritising speed and convenience over achieving the absolute maximum market price. While the process is generally seamless and professional, users should be prepared for potential downward price negotiations after inspection and should clarify all fees and vehicle eligibility criteria early in the process.

First time I've used Cars24, the service from all including Taruski was great, and to be honest I wasn't very trusting of them, thought maybe a dodgy car reseller, but my thoughts proved wrong. Went to drop of the car & remove the plates, called them for 99% of the payment and it was paid in minutes and cleared at the bank. I would use Cars24 again in the future....

I recently sold my car through Cars24 and had a genuinely smooth, stress‑free experience. The process was quick, transparent, and very easy. A special mention goes to Jay, who was outstanding throughout. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful — clearly explaining each step, answering every question, and making sure I felt comfortable with the valuation and the paperwork. His customer service really elevated the whole experience.

Beware!! Absolutely do not buy a vehicle from this dealership. 1. There are hidden charges (dealership fees) that they do not use in their price match guarantee. They do not negotiate whatsoever. 2. they unregister the vehicles to make money from the remaining rego and green slip and hit you with that unnecessary cost (unethical practice). 3.… Read more

there is no one to call or speak to (you get a call centre). 4. I picked up my vehicle - it hadn’t been washed, vacuumed or wiped (see photos).It had a huge bird poo. Even though they had 2 days to detail the car, the detailers don’t work past 3pm which was a coincidence given I picked up the car at 3.30pm. They said they would send a Detailer to my house but 2 days later and I still did not receive a call from the Detailer 5. The car is parked outside and dirty, so expect a car with ant infestation (see videos/photos)

So close to perfect – If you are looking for a hassle free way to buy a car this is the way to go. From ordering to paying, delivery and registration change it all occurred without my input. The car was in exact condition described and couldn’t be happier. Negatives: Please don’t provide yellow number plates, I would have been happy to pay more for white on black. Show reply

Where to start. Bought a car for my daughter that was based in Brisbane. As such had to go by the picture reviews and their website did not have imperfections listed, therefore I felt pretty confident that I was making the right decision. I was advised that I could pick up the car from the Melbourne depot on a weekend. As the car was in transit I… Read more

was then advised that I could not do that and I needed to pay additional transportation to have the car delivered as I work full-time and was unable to go during the week. The car arrived and had a number of imperfections that were not listed or shown on the website. Accountability and Communication with the company representatives has been very poor. They fail to return emails and phone calls unless prompted and the only compensation that they might be willing to offer is $100. Issues include stains on the front and rear seats, a substance wedged in the dashboard and scratches around it where someone has tried to remove it, chipping the plastic on the steering wheel and what I believe are defective windscreen wipers that’s smear water rather than clear the water from the front and rear windshield therefore questioning the validity of the roadway certificate. Buyers beware!

meet the Australian way to transaction which raised a few eye brows. But all was done legally and formally. There was a bit a of haggling going on where they did add in fees that is unknown to us in the first place, they will need to improve on that, Australian Culture will take a handshake and that is the end of it. Once a price is finalized that is all there is. We felt a bit overwhelmed by calls non stop to chase us to sign and subsequently after the sale is completed to provide review. We will only put down the honest truth when we have time to do so. Money was deposited within 48 hours after much follow up from our end, NITIN if this is your real name, thank you for the persistence, we agree to drop off to their HUMONGOUS warehouse. That shut down our doubts once and for all. They do deserve 5 stars but with all above mentioned, there is always a room for improvement. Please keep up the good work and change to be better.

 Follow-up  · This is the follow up. I think i know how they operate. There will be a team scouting marketplaces like facebook, carsales etc. They will contact you directly and price haggling will start immediately. But that is not where it is locked it. After that the Inspection Team will ask for documents and then a Video Call Inspection. After the… Read more

 Follow-up  · Payment has been very well handled, no surprises. Because my car was less than a year, I just sent some requested pictures online. There were no hidden fees.

I recently sold my car through Cars24 and overall was really happy with the process. Initially I was quite cautious and honestly wondered if they might be a scam, so I spent quite a bit of time researching the company and even checking the locations of their offices on Google Maps. After going through the process, I found everything to be… Read more ·  1

legitimate and professionally handled.

The Zoom/video inspection of the car with Harshal was straightforward and easy, and he was very helpful throughout the whole process, answering questions, offering suggestions and praise. One thing buyers should be aware of is that if you receive an offer from Cars24, the amount will reduce every couple of days until formally accepted, so it’s worth keeping that in mind when deciding to go ahead.

Even with that, the final offer was still substantially higher than two other online car buying companies I had contacted. A deposit was paid into my account, and the full balance was received the day before pickup, which I confirmed with Ronit before handing the vehicle over.

Overall, I was very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend Cars24 to anyone wanting a straightforward and convenient way to sell their car.

Time-Wasting, Lowballing, High-Pressure Tactics Cars24 contacted me after I listed my Mazda CX-5 for sale, and the entire experience was a complete waste of time. The car’s realistic market value is $30k–$35k, with wholesale around $25k. I advertised it at $27,500, which was fair and transparent, with minor cosmetic scuffs clearly shown in the… Read more

listing photos.

From the very first call, Cars24 were talking numbers around $23k — already well below wholesale. They then sent a mechanic to inspect the vehicle. The inspector told us the car was immaculate and mechanically sound.

Despite this, a few hours later Cars24 called back claiming the same minor scuffs they already had photos of somehow justified “substantial” panel repairs and slashed their offer to $22,500. This felt completely disingenuous. What followed was blatant pressure to force an immediate decision. When I explained the car belongs to my wife and we needed time to discuss it, they escalated the pressure, claiming the offer couldn’t be held because of internal “buying budget” limits.

I have over 40 years’ experience in sales and marketing, and I recognise pressure tactics when I see them. I made it clear I would not be rushed or manipulated into a bad decision. At that point, I refused to deal with them at all.

This process felt deliberately designed to wear sellers down after they’ve already invested time in inspections and calls. If you know the value of your car, expect lowball offers and heavy pressure. I would strongly advise others to think twice before engaging with Cars24 unless you’re prepared for this kind of experience.

I was quite hesitant at first to proceed with Cars24, especially after being contacted through Messenger via Carsales about the car I’d listed for sale. However, after answering a few questions and going back and forth, the negotiations began and we quickly landed on a number that we were both comfortable with. Once I accepted the offer, the team… Read more ·  1

contacted me straightaway and explained the entire process clearly. What I thought would be stressful actually turned out to be one of the most seamless, easy and stress-free selling experiences I’ve had.

I didn’t have to deal with the usual dealer paperwork or back-and-forth. They sent me the inspection report electronically, which I completed and returned, and then promptly sent through the contract confirming the offer. I signed, and they paid the deposit immediately — no hesitation, no last-minute negotiation.

When they asked about availability for pick-up, I explained that I’m pregnant and due to give birth in just four days, so I really needed everything wrapped up quickly. They scheduled the pick-up for the very next day, arrived on time, and paid the remainder of the sale price instantly.

I didn’t need to leave my home once — they organised everything, communicated promptly, and made the whole experience so smooth at a time when I truly needed it.

A huge shout-out to Nitin, Ansh and Vrinda for their professionalism, efficiency and kindness throughout the entire process.

Thank you all for such a great transaction. I can now focus on welcoming my baby in peace, knowing the car is sold and everything has been taken care of.

The offer I received for my MG ZST Vibe was fair and reasonable, and the convenience was unmatched. I didn’t have to deal with random people coming to inspect or test-drive my car, which gave me great peace of mind. Everything was handled professionally by a company that clearly knows what they’re doing.

Absolute waste of time - don't bother. After contacting me multiple times to buy my car, I finally agreed to a virtual inspection. Upon the first inspection they wanted me to get the next service done before continuing (wasn't due for 1500km yet), I agreed, went and did it, booked another virtual inspection, went through that, only to be told… Read more

later that day that they were not satisfied with the service records (which are complete, all within recommended Subaru KM/timelines). Also decided that my last service didn't count - absolute waste of time dealing with this group - don't recommend at all.

There were no last-minute surprises or price drops, and Nitin was upfront and honest about everything, which really built my trust in the platform. The paperwork, inspection, and payment were all completed quickly and efficiently, and I received my payment on time without any delays.

If you're looking to sell your car without the usual back-and-forth haggling and uncertainty that comes with private buyers, I'd highly recommend Cars24. And if you get Nitin as your point of contact, you're in good hands — he made the whole process fair, fast, and stress-free.

Overall, a great experience. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
