who buys trucks

Plenty of folk buy trucks—provided yours isn’t one breakdown away from becoming garden art. Dealers and wholesalers will take them for stock, auctions move them quickly, and wreckers pay for rigs that are more “parts bin” than road warrior.

Private buyers scour marketplaces like Tradingpost, especially for utes and light rigids with clean history.

To get decent money, give it a bath, shoot clear photos, have logbooks, a PPSR check/finance payout ready, and a current roadworthy where required.

Businesses should mind GST, ABN invoices, and value-adding kit (trays, toolboxes, tow packs); exporters sometimes pay up for the right spec.

Not sure where to start? List it, collect quotes from dealers and auction agents, then let the best offer do the heavy lifting.
