Selling a high-end car privately can be stressful and time-consuming. Between endless calls, price haggling and uncertainty, it’s easy to lose control of the process: especially when your vehicle deserves a premium presentation. That’s where car consignment in Brisbane comes in.
At Rennauto Brisbane, we help owners of supercars, exotics and collector vehicles sell with total confidence. Before explaining how our process works, let’s take a look at what “car consignment” actually means in Australia.
What Is Car Consignment?
Car consignment (also called “sale on consignment”) means you appoint a licensed motor dealer to sell your car on your behalf. You remain the legal owner until the sale is completed. The dealership markets your car, manages enquiries, negotiates with buyers and completes the transaction. Once the deal is finalised, the funds are transferred to you after deducting the agreed fees.
It’s a professional, convenient way to sell your vehicle while ensuring it gets the visibility and presentation it deserves.
Is Car Consignment Legal in Australia?
Yes, but the laws differ depending on where you live.
In Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia, car consignment is completely legal, provided it’s done through a licensed motor dealer with a written consignment agreement in place.
In Victoria, however, the rules are different. Under the Motor Car Traders Act 1986 (VIC), licensed motor car traders cannot sell vehicles on consignment for members of the public. Section 36 of the Act specifically prohibits traders from selling or possessing a motor car for the purpose of selling it by consignment for someone who isn’t a licensed trader, with fines of up to 100 penalty units for violations.
So if you’re based in Queensland (and especially around Brisbane) car consignment remains one of the most efficient and secure ways to sell your vehicle.

How Car Consignment Brisbane Works
Here’s how a proper car consignment Brisbane process typically goes:
Agreement and Inspection – A written consignment agreement defines all terms, fees and responsibilities.
Preparation – The car is detailed to showroom standards, photographed professionally and prepped for marketing.
Marketing – The car is promoted across online platforms, Rennauto’s private buyer network and social media.
Enquiries and Negotiation – The dealership manages all communication, viewings and negotiations.
Sale and Settlement – Once sold, the funds are transferred to you minus the agreed fees.
It’s efficient, transparent and eliminates all the typical stress of selling a high-end car privately.
