Cars24 has become one of the fastest-growing used car dealers. Every week, thousands of buyers browse our platform looking for second-hand cars for sale that are affordable, inspected and ready to drive home. Our internal sales data shows that hatchbacks and mid-size SUVs consistently move fastest. Our platform not only sells and buys cars but also offers financing options and pre-approved loans.
What makes Cars24 different is how simple we've made it to buy used cars online. Instead of driving between dealership lots or scrolling endless classifieds, you can search, compare, finance and book a used car for sale listing entirely from your phone.
Every car on our platform goes through Cars24 Edge, our quality and trust layer that combines a multi-point inspection, verified PPSR checks and transparent pricing.
Based on our internal transaction data, here is a list of the most famous car models. According to our data, the Toyota HiLux came out on top this quarter, driven by tradies and families alike who want a reliable, high-resale-value ute. These are some of the best used cars in Australia right now, based on real transaction data.
Model | Cars available | Price range |
|---|---|---|
2 | $24,990 - $45,990 |
These models sell quickly because they balance affordability with strong resale value.
Every Cars24 Select used car comes with:
30-Day Return Guarantee*

Before you commit to any second-hand car purchase, run through this checklist:
Service history: Confirm regular maintenance and no missed intervals
PPSR check: Make sure the car isn't under finance or reported stolen
Odometer consistency: Cross-check mileage against service records
Roadworthy certificate: Confirm it's current and valid in your state
Test drive and inspection: Listen for unusual noises, check tyre wear, and test all electronics
At Cars24, every Cars24 Select car passes these checks before getting listed online. We ensure that you get the best car within your budget.
The right car depends on how your family actually uses it, not just how many seats it has.
Hatchbacks like Mazda 3 or Toyota Corolla suit smaller families or first-time buyers who want low running costs and easy city parking.
Mid-size SUVs like the Mazda CX-5 or Hyundai Tucson work well for growing families needing boot space for prams, sports gear or weekend trips.
Large SUVs and 7-seaters suit bigger households or families who regularly carpool or travel with extended family.
Utes like HiLux and Ford Ranger suit families who also need towing capacity or tray space for work and recreation.
