What is best time to sell car in Australia is spring September to November and end of financial year May to June, as demand higher and prices 5% to 10% higher, with private sale $15K to $25K versus trade-in $12K to $20K. Best time to sell car is spring September to November when buyers more active after winter, with convertible and SUV demand higher, prices 5% to 10% higher, with average used car $20K selling for $21K in October versus $19K in July winter low demand. End of financial year May to June good as dealers need stock and buyers have tax returns $2K to $5K to spend, with dealers paying $1K more. Also best to sell before new model release, as new model release drops old model value 10%, and before registration due, as car with 12 months rego sells $500 more than 1 month rego. For example, 2018 Toyota Corolla $18K market value sells $19K in October private sale via Carsales, versus $16K trade-in in July, with private sale $2K to $3K more than trade-in but takes 2 to 4 weeks. So best time to sell car is spring September to November for highest price 5% to 10% more, and May to June end of financial year for dealer demand, with private sale $2K to $3K more than trade-in, and sell before new model release and with 12 months rego for $500 extra, avoiding winter July low demand.
