Used car parts in Sydney typically sell for A$38 to A$765 (about $27 to $540). Car parts sell on the part number, not the description — and a few parts, airbags and pretensioners above all, are pyrotechnic and cannot go in the post at all.
Selling car parts in Sydney
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Confirm access and parking before agreeing to collect anything large. Between the terraces, the apartment blocks and the permit zones, where a vehicle can actually stop is the thing that decides most furniture sales here.
Sydney has around 5.3 million people in New South Wales, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Newcastle, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Sydney
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What car parts are worth
What lifts the price
- Parts for common, high-volume vehicles
- Complete assemblies rather than partial
What pulls it down
- Worn or damaged components sold as serviceable
- Missing fixings and brackets
Working out what yours is worth
- List every vehicle model and year it fits
- Photograph all mating surfaces and mounting points
Getting it ready
- Note the donor vehicle: make, model, year, engine and trim, plus mileage for wear items.
- Clean the part enough to be identifiable, and check whether it is a safety-critical or restricted component before you plan any postage.
Photograph
- The part number and any manufacturer marking, legible
- Any damage, corrosion, wear or missing fixing
Put in the description
- Donor vehicle make, model, year, engine and mileage
- Condition, and whether it was removed working or from a damaged vehicle
Steady year round, and older or discontinued parts often sell better than new-model ones because there is no alternative source. Common serviceable parts sell within days.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Will it fit my car?
Point to the part number and let the buyer cross-reference it. Fitment across facelifts and engine variants is exactly where confident guesses go wrong.
