At Sell My Car Pro we have bought hundreds of Hyundais right across the metro, from tidy i30 hatches in Joondalup to hard-working iLoad vans out of Kwinana.

At Sell My Car Pro we have watched plenty of West Australians go this way, and we know where it runs smoothly and where it turns into a fortnight of dead-end messages.

    There is one part of selling a car in Perth that owners routinely forget until it bites them: the paperwork with the WA Department of Transport. The moment ownership changes, the department becomes part of the deal, and getting that step wrong can follow you for months.

    CarsGuide is one of the names Australians trust most when researching a car, full of expert reviews, price guides and buying advice built up since 2011. What trips up a lot of Perth sellers is that CarsGuide is no longer a place to list your car privately; these days it points you to other routes to sell.

    When it comes time to sell, the fuel type under your bonnet can shape your car's value as much as its age or kilometres. Across Perth and the wider WA market, petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric models each follow their own depreciation curve and pull in a different crowd of buyers. At Sell My Car Pro we value cars of every fuel type across WA each week, so here is how fuel type affects resale value, and what it means for the price you can expect.
