Get a Free Car Valuation
The best and simplest way to get an accurate, free, no-obligation car valuation is with Rockingham Mazda.
Online directories offer an average guide for all similar cars in the market, but they don't take into account the careful attention you have lavished on your automotive pride and joy.
When we make a used car valuation, we're actually making an expert estimation of the current market value of your individual vehicle. Unlike online services, we look at the unique characteristics of your car into account, including:
- Ownership history
- Service record
- Upgrades or modifications
Like any car valuation, we also check vehicle registration, previous owners and the status of any accident repairs.
Find out how much your car is worth
Your used car's value is based largely on buyer demand. Some cars - perhaps through features, rarity or reputation - have extremely strong resale value. Dual-cab utes, such as the Toyota HiLux, always hold their value. For these vehicles, it's always a seller's market.
Other cars, such as the excellent though overlooked late-model Ford Falcons, depreciate quickly but then level off. It means a smart buyer can pick up deals of incredible value, and find their car doesn't lose much more value when it in turn is traded in.
It's all about knowing what's in demand. As a trusted leader in Perth used cars, Rockingham Mazda has its finger on the pulse of what people shopping for their next car are really looking for. And we offer that expertise to you.
Why sell your car with Shacks?
Sure, while private sales are often a good option, they can take a lot of time and rigmarole.
For a start, you can't sell your car when it suits you - only when it suits some buyer. And then there's all the running around and sorting out paperwork. There's change of:
- Ownership forms
- Registration transfers
- Insurance forms
- Receipts
- And more.
That's not the case with a used car dealer who'll be there to do it all as they help you sell your car and if the timing is right for you, perhaps trade to something newer, better, bigger or just more suitable at the same time.
It's why we have become synonymous with car-buyer satisfaction.
