Coupe buyers in Australia usually trade easy rear-seat access for a lower, fixed-roof body. Most have two long doors and either two seats or a 2+2 cabin, where the smaller back seats suit children or short trips. When comparing a coupe for sale, check the parking width, seating position and rear visibility.
The rear-wheel-drive Subaru BRZ uses a naturally aspirated petrol engine, while the Ford Mustang may have a turbo four-cylinder or V8. A Mercedes coupe, such as the C-Class or a BMW 4 Series Coupe, typically features four seats, turbocharged power, and an automatic transmission.
Cars24 currently has 11 coupe for sale in Australia, priced between $17,490 and $59,490. Compare year, kilometres, engine, transmission and seats, then check whether the car is Cars24 Select or listed by a verified dealer.
These are the five genuine coupe models buyers chose most often through Cars24. Live stock is shown separately because a strong sales result does not mean a suitable example is listed today.
Model | Current inventory | Current price range | Best suited to |
Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe | No genuine coupe stock currently available | Not currently available | Automatic 2+2 use with occasional rear passengers |
3 | $26,290 - $31,790 | Manual rear-wheel-drive driving with small rear seats | |

2 | $52,990 - $59,490 | Automatic long-distance use with occasional rear passengers | |
1 | $30,990 | Four-seat rear-wheel-drive automatic driving |
Some model pages include more than one body style, so open the individual listing and confirm that the vehicle is a coupe.
Two coupes with the same model name can be very different cars. One may have a smaller turbo-petrol engine and an automatic, while another uses a V8, manual gearbox, firmer suspension and larger brakes. You’ll witness the difference at the fuel pump and when tyres, brakes or servicing are due. For any coupe for sale, confirm the exact engine, gearbox, drivetrain and recommended fuel rather than relying on the model name.
Rear-wheel drive is common, though some coupes use front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The layout matters, but worn tyres or poor wheel alignment will affect the car more. Check that a manual clutch takes up cleanly and that an automatic changes gears without hesitation. The alternatives suit different jobs.
A sedan gives rear passengers their own doors and keeps luggage in a separate boot.
A hatchback has a wider rear opening and folding back seats, which helps with prams, boxes or larger shopping trips.
A convertible gives you an open roof but adds motors, drains and seals to inspect.
Choose the coupe if you can live with less rear access and would rather put the engine, gearbox and two-door layout first. Before buying, drive the exact car and check that its seats, boot and parking needs work for your routine.
Coupe | What changes between variants | What it offers | What to check |
Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe | The C200 is the lower-powered version, while the C300 gives stronger acceleration. The 2016 cars sold through Cars24 used seven-speed automatics; the 2019 and 2020 cars had nine speeds. | An automatic Mercedes coupe suited to commuting and longer drives. It has four seats, although the back is better kept for occasional use. | Check the sunroof and frameless windows for leaks or wind noise. Look at tyre wear, panel gaps, warning lights and the service history. |
The 2013, 2014 and 2020 cars used a 2.0-litre petrol engine. The 2022 car moved to 2.4 litres. All four were six-speed manuals. | A light rear-wheel-drive coupe for buyers who specifically want a manual. The back seats and boot are small, so test them with your usual passengers and luggage. | Feel for clutch slip and listen for suspension noise. Look for uneven tyres, lowered suspension, exhaust changes or signs that the car has spent time on track. | |
The 2016 turbo four-cylinder and 2017 V8 used six-speed automatics. The 2018 V8 had a ten-speed automatic. The turbo engine will generally use less fuel than the V8, although driving style still affects the result. | A larger cabin and boot than the BRZ, with more room around the front seats. The two back seats remain tight for adults. | Check that the rear tyres match and the brakes stop smoothly. Watch the temperature during the test drive and ask about tuning, exhaust work or previous hard use. | |
The 220i uses petrol, while the 220d is diesel. Both cars sold through Cars24 had eight-speed automatics and rear-wheel drive. | Smaller and easier to park than the 4 Series Coupe. The trade-off is a tighter back seat and less luggage room. | Confirm it is the two-door Coupe, not a Gran Coupe. Check the tyres, service history and body repairs. For the 220d, ask whether it has mainly covered short urban trips. | |
The 420i has a turbo four-cylinder petrol engine, while the 440i uses a larger turbo six-cylinder. The 440i can cost more to fuel. Tyre and brake prices depend on the wheels and equipment fitted. | More boot space than the 2 Series Coupe, which helps on longer trips. It still has coupe-style rear access, so adults should try the back seat before buying. | Look for damaged wheels, uneven tyres, leaking window seals and warning lights. Make sure the automatic shifts cleanly and confirm the car is not a four-door Gran Coupe. |
Don’t let a low odometer reading or a tempting price distract you from a proper inspection.
Cold start: Get there before the seller warms up the engine; a cold start tells you far more. Listen for rattles, a rough idle, or smoke that shouldn’t be there.
Service history. Pull up the logbook and service invoices and line them up against the odometer. Has servicing kept pace with the kilometres, and what’s coming up next?
Walk around the bodywork: Panel gaps that aren’t even, paint that’s slightly off in colour, anything that hints at repair work after a bump.
Look at tyres, wheels and brakes. Uneven wear, kerbed rims, tyres that don’t match across the car. On the test drive, pay attention to any shudder when you brake.
Test the gearbox: A manual clutch should engage smoothly with no slipping. Automatics and dual-clutch boxes shouldn’t hesitate or clunk between gears.
Check for leaks around windows and seals: Coupes often have frameless windows, so check the sunroof and hatch seals too. The glass should sit flush and firm against the rubber.
Sit in the back: Slide the front seat into your normal driving position, then see what’s left for the back. Fitting a child seat? Check the top-tether points and see how it actually sits.
Get the paperwork sorted. Match the VIN and registration, check roadworthy status where it applies, and run a PPSR and car history check to rule out finance owing, stolen status or a write-off in its past.
Cars24 brings Cars24 Select coupes and verified dealer cars into one search, but the support is not identical. Narrow the listings by price, kilometres, year, fuel, transmission, drivetrain and seats. Then open the individual ad. A model page may include a Gran Coupe, convertible or another body style, so confirm the fixed roof, two-door body and exact variant before adding a car to your shortlist.
An eligible Cars24 Select coupe may include a 300-point inspection, Car Condition Report, RWC and PPSR information, rego-transfer support, a three-month warranty, roadside assistance, home delivery where available and a 30-Day Return Guarantee*, subject to current terms.
Dealer cars follow the selling dealer’s conditions. Warranty, inspection, test-drive, delivery and return arrangements can vary. If the coupe has different wheels, lowered suspension or a non-standard exhaust, ask who inspected the work and whether it affects the warranty.
If you need finance, Cars24 Finance is available to eligible buyers. Look past the weekly repayment and compare the deposit, interest rate, fees, loan term and total amount repaid. Approval is not guaranteed.
Two doors and a fixed roof, that's the basic rule for a coupe car. But carmakers don't always stick to it. The BMW Gran Coupe has four doors. So does the Mercedes CLA. Confusing, but that's the industry for you. On the flip side, Kia's Cerato Koup earns its coupe badge properly. MG's trickier still, the MG4 is a hatch and the Cyberster is a roadster, so neither one counts as an MG coupe no matter what the marketing calls it.
Depends what you're actually after behind the wheel. Want manual and rear-wheel drive? Look at a Toyota coupe like the 86, or the BRZ if you're cross-shopping. Mustang's the pick if you want options on power, turbo four-cylinder or V8, your call. If you'd rather something more relaxed for the daily grind, a Mercedes coupe, BMW 4 Series or Audi coupe usually comes as an automatic and drives a lot less demanding.
Cars24 currently has coupes for sale from $17,490 up to $59,490. That gap exists for good reason, kilometres and age are only half the story. Engine size, the specific variant, condition, whether it's been modified, all of that moves the number more than people expect. One thing worth checking on dealer stock: make sure government charges are already baked into the advertised price.
It can, just test the annoying stuff first. Put a child seat in. Move the front seat to where you'd normally sit and see what's left behind it. Load the boot with whatever you usually carry, then try parking in a tight spot. None of that shows up on a spec sheet. A coupe rated for four seats won't necessarily fit four adults comfortably, and a rear-facing child seat might not sit right at all, so check before you buy, not after.
If shifting gears yourself is half the reason you want a coupe, get the manual. If you're mostly stuck in traffic, the automatic will wear you out less. Either way, condition beats gearbox preference. Check how the clutch bites on a manual. On an automatic, make sure gear changes are smooth from a cold start, not just once it's warmed up.
Depends on the car. Bigger engines drink more, and often want premium unleaded. Wider tyres and performance brakes cost more to replace. Insurance climbs too, particularly on modified cars or anything with real performance behind it. Get an insurance quote before you put a deposit down, it can genuinely change the decision. Then factor in servicing, rego, CTP and tyres further down the track.
Start the engine cold, not after the seller's already warmed it up. Go through the service history properly. Check tyres, brakes, panel gaps and the window seals while you're there. Ask straight up if it's been tracked or modified. If you're looking at something like the Mazda RX-8, its rotary engine has its own service requirements, so check for records specific to that. Kilometres alone won't tell you any of this.
Cars24 Select coupes can include a 300-point inspection, a Car Condition Report, RWC and PPSR checks, warranty, roadside assistance and a 30-Day Return Guarantee* where the car qualifies. Verified dealer listings run on the dealer's own terms instead, so warranty, test drives, delivery and returns can differ from one seller to the next. Check the seller label on the listing so you know which one you're dealing with.
Yes, Cars24 manages the registration transfer for Cars24 Select vehicles, so you don’t have to deal with paperwork ourselves
