Best Run-Out Car Deals in Australia (2026): Every Live Offer, Checked

Written by Uzzi · 12 November 2026

CarSorted Verdict: the short version

  • What run-out is: new, unregistered stock of a model, model year or build year that's being replaced. Full new-car warranty, older design, and a build year that turns a year older on 1 January.
  • Biggest changeovers: the outgoing Hyundai Tucson (new one due in 2027), the last V8 Nissan Patrol (new Y63 from $98,990 MSRP, early 2027), the old-generation Mazda CX-5 (new one already on sale) and the LDV T60 MAX MY25.
  • Ending first: GWM, Nissan Patrol, Mitsubishi 25MY, LDV MY25 and Kia Tasman offers end on 30 November 2026. Hyundai's Big Runout ends 31 December; Honda's runs to 31 January 2027.
  • The rule we used: manufacturer offers only, each re-read on the manufacturer's own Australian page on 12 November 2026. No dealer ads, and no saving unless the manufacturer prints both prices on the same basis.
  • Before you sign: get the VIN and build month in writing, and a drive-away quote on the new model too.

November is when the run-out stickers go up. Dealers want this year's stock gone before the calendar ticks over, manufacturers want space for the next model year, and a few nameplates are being replaced outright. That makes it a good month to buy, as long as you know what you're buying: a brand new car, yes, but one that's about to be the old one.

This guide does two jobs. First, it lists every manufacturer run-out and clearance offer we could confirm on the manufacturer's own Australian website on 12 November 2026, with the price basis, the end date and who's excluded, copied from the manufacturer's page. Second, it explains what run-out actually means here, what you trade for the discount, and how to check the build date and model year before you sign. Where we know what replaces a car, and when, we say so and say where that came from.

What this guide isn't: a list of dealer ads, or a ranking of who's cheapest. “Best” here means the run-out offers worth knowing about because the manufacturer itself published them and we could confirm them. We only state a saving where the manufacturer prints both prices on the same basis. No manufacturer or dealer paid to be in this guide or to be left out of it (as at November 2026). Offers change, and manufacturers can extend or pull them at any time, so check the manufacturer's page on the day you buy. All live offers are also on our deals page.

One row per offer, grouped by type of car. “Drive-away” includes on-road costs; where the manufacturer names the state the price is set for, we show it, and where it doesn't, we say so. Bonus, cashback and gift-card amounts are the manufacturer's own figures. Each car's detail is in its section below.

What “run-out” actually means in Australia

A run-out car is new stock of something that's on its way out. That might be a whole generation (the old Mazda CX-5, the V8 Nissan Patrol), one model year (Mitsubishi's 25MY Outlander once the next model year is on sale), or simply cars built this calendar year that a dealer wants to move before 1 January. The car has never been registered, so you're the first owner and you get the full new-car warranty.

Three dates get mixed up here, and they're worth separating.

  • Build date. The month the car came off the line. It's on the manufacturer's identification label, usually on a door pillar or under the bonnet. This is usually the date people mean when they say a car is a “2026 plate”.
  • Model year (MY). A label the manufacturer uses for a specification, like MY25 or 25MY. It can run ahead of the calendar: a car built in late 2025 can be a MY26. Mitsubishi's 24MY Outlander PHEV and KGM's MY25 Torres “built in 2024 calendar year” are both examples in this guide.
  • Compliance or approval date. Older Australian cars carry a compliance plate showing when the car was certified for our roads. Newer cars are entered on the federal Register of Approved Vehicles instead, which you can search by VIN.

“Superseded” is the other word you'll hear. It means the replacement is already in showrooms, as with the CX-5, where Mazda's own offers page calls the old stock a “Final Runout” while the new generation is on sale from $39,990 before on-road costs for the G25 Pure AWD. When the replacement is only announced, as with the Tucson or the Patrol, the outgoing car is still current, just on borrowed time.

Why the deals cluster in November and December

Three things land at once. The calendar year ends, and a car built in 2026 looks a year older the moment it's 2027, so a 2026-built car on a dealer's lot in January is harder to sell at full price. Model-year changeovers tend to be timed around the turn of the year. And dealers and manufacturers often have year-end volume targets, which is why some offers land as cashback or bonuses rather than a lower sticker.

You can see the pattern in the end dates. Of the offers in the table, six end on 30 November 2026 (GWM's H6, Nissan's Patrol cashback, Mitsubishi's 25MY Outlander and Triton, LDV's T60 MAX MY25 and Kia's Tasman cashback), three of Hyundai's end on 31 December, and Honda runs into January. Mazda, KGM and Toyota print no end date and say the offer lasts while stocks last, and Mitsubishi's 24MY Outlander PHEV bonus runs “until last unit sold”, which in practice means it ends when your local dealer runs out.

What you trade for the discount

A run-out deal is a fair trade when you know what's on each side. Here's what you give up.

  • The build year on resale. Many used-car valuations work from the build year. Buy a 2026-built car in December and it's a year old on paper in a few weeks. That gap matters more if you trade in after two or three years.
  • The newer model's changes. The replacement may bring a new engine, more equipment or new safety tech. Nissan says the new Patrol has 19kW more power and 140Nm more torque than the outgoing one; LDV's new T60 MAX is the 163kW version. Decide whether you'd use the difference.
  • The ANCAP date stamp. ANCAP ratings carry the year they were awarded and lapse after six years. A run-out car may sit on an older rating than its replacement. Check the year on our ANCAP explainer and on the car's page.
  • Choice. Run-out stock is whatever's left. The colour, grade or option you wanted may not be there, and “whilst stocks last” can mean a dealer three suburbs away.

What you don't usually give up is warranty. New-car warranties generally start when the car is delivered or first registered, not when it was built, so a run-out car bought on 20 December gets its full term from 20 December. Demonstrators are the exception to watch, because a demo has already been registered and its warranty may have started. Check the manufacturer's warranty terms either way.

How to check the build date and model year before you sign

  1. Ask for the VIN of the actual car. Not “one like it”. The VIN identifies one vehicle, and the other checks flow from it.
  2. Ask for the build month and model year in writing. Then look at the label on the car yourself. If an offer is restricted to a build window (Toyota's bZ4X bonus covers cars built from 1 January to 31 December 2026; its Tundra bonus covers cars built from 1 August to 31 December 2025), the build month decides whether the offer applies at all.
  3. Search the VIN on the Register of Approved Vehicles. It's the federal government's record of vehicles approved for Australian roads.
  4. Make sure the contract says “new” and states the build date and model year. If it's a demo, the contract should say so and show the odometer reading.
  5. Check it isn't already registered. A car that's been registered in a dealer's name is a demo, whatever the sign says.

Run-out, plate clearance and demo: not the same thing

Run-out is new stock of an outgoing model or model year. Hyundai uses the word itself (“Hyundai's Big Runout”), as do LDV (“MY25 RUNOUT”) and Mazda (“Final Runout”). Plate clearance is usually new stock built this year or earlier, cleared before the calendar turns, even when the model isn't changing (Mazda's terms cover 2025 and 2026 builds). Mazda's BT-50 and Toyota's bZ4X offers are both called plate clearance this year. Clearance is Mitsubishi's word for its 25MY Outlander, 25MY Triton and 24MY Outlander PHEV offers.

A demonstrator is different again: a car the dealer has registered and driven. Some offers here include demos (Hyundai's runout bonus, Toyota's bZ4X and Tundra bonuses, Nissan's Patrol cashback), and some exclude them (Honda's, Mitsubishi's). A demo can be good value, but it has kilometres on it, and the warranty may already be running. If you're offered one, get the odometer reading and the first registration date.

Small cars

Hyundai i30 Sedan: in Hyundai's Big Runout, new generation reported for 2027

The outgoing car: the current CN7 i30 Sedan. Hyundai puts the 2.0 petrol at $33,490 drive-away and the 1.6 Hybrid at $34,990 drive-away, both tagged “Runout” on its offers page, for new stock bought and delivered between 1 October and 31 December 2026. Hyundai also lists a $1,500 Runout Bonus on those two and on the Elite, Premium, N Line, N Line Premium and Elite Hybrid grades, for new stock and demonstrators bought and delivered from 23 October to 31 December 2026, “applied as a deduction from the driveaway price”. The drive-away terms say they aren't available “with other offers”, and Hyundai's bonus terms say the bonus “cannot be combined with other offers”, so ask the dealer to show, on paper, whether the bonus comes off that drive-away figure. Both exclude fleet, government and rental buyers.

What replaces it: a new-generation i30 Sedan, reported by Australian motoring media for the first half of 2027. We couldn't find a date or price for it on Hyundai Australia's own site. Our story on the next i30 Sedan has what's been reported.

Take it if you want a cheap, simple small sedan or a hybrid under $35,000 drive-away this year, and you plan to keep it. Wait if you're happy to drive what you have until the first half of 2027 and want the new design; just know nothing about its price is official yet. See our small car guide for the rest of the class.

SUVs

Hyundai Tucson: the run-out before an all-new model in 2027

The outgoing car: the NX4 Tucson, every grade of which Hyundai tags “Runout”. Drive-away prices for new stock bought and delivered from 1 October to 31 December 2026 are $40,990 for the 2.0 petrol FWD, $44,990 for the Hybrid FWD, $46,990 for the Elite petrol, $51,490 for the Elite Hybrid FWD, $53,990 for the Elite Hybrid AWD and the Elite N Line Hybrid FWD, $56,490 for the Elite N Line Hybrid AWD, $61,490 for the Premium Hybrid AWD and $62,990 for the Premium N Line Hybrid AWD. The same $1,500 Runout Bonus is listed on each, with the same “ask how it applies” caveat as the i30 Sedan.

What replaces it: Hyundai Australia's own register-your-interest page for the all-new Tucson says “Coming soon in 2027”, and names an XRT grade. The company has told media mid-2027, with a hybrid-only range at launch. No Australian price yet. Our story on the new Tucson has the detail.

Take it if you want a petrol Tucson (the new one is reported as hybrid-only at launch), or you need a mid-size SUV before mid-2027. Wait if you want the newest design and tech and can hold on for six months or more without knowing the price. Either way, compare it with the rest of the class in our mid-size SUV guide.

Mazda CX-5: the “Final Runout” of the old generation

The outgoing car: the previous-generation CX-5. Mazda's plate clearance page calls it “Final Runout across the range” and “your last chance to get exceptional value across the remaining Mazda CX-5 range (P model). Limited stock available.” The CX-5 Pure is drive-away from $43,990, with $2,000 cashback “on all range”. Mazda prints no end date, only “whilst stocks last”, and doesn't name the state the drive-away figure is set for.

What replaces it: already here. The new-generation CX-5 G25 Pure AWD lists at $39,990 before on-road costs on Mazda's own price announcement. That's a list price and the run-out figure is drive-away, so they aren't comparable as they stand. Get a drive-away quote on the new one in your postcode before you decide the old one is the deal.

Take it if you like the old CX-5 as it is and the dealer's final drive-away figure, cashback applied, beats the new one's drive-away quote. Skip it if the new car comes out close on price, because then you're buying the older design for little in return.

Honda CR-V: a build-year clearance, not a new model

The offer: Honda's current offer is about build year. Buy an eligible ‘26 Build Honda and you get your first 5 standard scheduled services free, plus an eGift Card: $1,000 on the CR-V VTi X and VTi L7, $1,500 on the CR-V e:HEV L, e:HEV LX and e:HEV RS, and $3,000 on the CR-V e:HEV X. The services offer covers contracts signed between 1 November 2026 and 31 January 2027 and excludes the Super-ONE, Type R and demonstrator vehicles. The gift cards are “while stocks last” and aren't available with any Honda Financial Services finance offer.

Honda sells at fixed national drive-away prices and this offer doesn't cut them; the value is in the servicing and the card. If you want a particular grade or colour, ask your dealer which 2026-built cars are still available.

Take it if you were buying a CR-V anyway and want five services covered. Check the build month on the car, because the offer only applies to 2026-built stock.

GWM Haval H6: 2026-build offers end 30 November, new generation reported for early 2027

The outgoing car: the current Haval H6. GWM's offers are on “MY26 models only” and “2026 build” vehicles, for private buyers in Victoria: the Lux from $35,990, Lux HEV from $40,990, Lux PHEV from $44,990, Ultra from $38,990, the Ultra HEV from $43,990, the Ultra HEV AWD from $47,490, the Ultra PHEV from $47,990 and the Ultra PHEV AWD from $50,990, all drive-away. Each card also says “Additional” money off the drive-away price ($3,000 on the Ultra HEV). GWM's terms say its prices are drive-away “including all advertised discounts”, and also that the cashback is “deducted from the advertised driveaway price”, so ask the dealer which it is on your contract. Cars must be ordered and delivered by 30 November 2026 (or while stocks last), and the offers can't be used with a finance offer or any other offer.

What replaces it: a next-generation H6, which GWM Australia has told local media will arrive in early 2027, with a hybrid expected to lead. When we last checked, GWM's own site had no page for it. See our story on the next H6.

Take it if a hybrid or plug-in mid-size SUV under $50,000 drive-away suits you and you can sign by 30 November. Wait if you want the new one: it's close, but unpriced.

Mitsubishi Outlander 25MY: the Clearance Blitz

The outgoing car: the 25MY Outlander, which Mitsubishi lists separately from its current Outlander. For private buyers, with pricing set for NSW: the ES 2WD 7-seat is $42,490, the LS 2WD 7-seat $45,980 and the LS Black Edition AWD $47,990 drive-away, each with a $2,000 fuel card. The Exceed AWD is $55,490 and the Exceed Tourer AWD $58,490 with a $4,000 fuel card; the Aspire carries a $3,000 card, with pricing from the dealer. Vehicles must be bought and delivered between 14 October and 30 November 2026. Mitsubishi says the fuel card can be swapped for a discount off the recommended drive-away price at the time of purchase, and it excludes government, rental and national fleet buyers, used and demo cars and novated leases.

Take it if you want a seven-seat SUV on a printed drive-away figure, and you can take delivery this month. Note that the ABN drive-away prices are printed separately and are $100 lower on every grade above.

KGM Torres: older-build stock with a factory bonus

The offer: KGM prints a factory bonus, “Save $5,010”, on MY25 Torres vehicles built in the 2024 calendar year and on MY26 Torres Hybrid and Torres EVX built in 2025. The same figure applies to MY26 Musso (not the EV) and to MY26 Rexton and Actyon built in 2025. Metallic paint is $700 extra. There's no end date: “for a limited time and while stocks last”, and stock varies between dealers.

Take it if you want a Torres and are fine with a 2024 or 2025 build year. That's the trade: the bonus is on cars that are already a year or two old by build date. Check our KGM range for the current grades.

Seven-seaters and big 4x4s

Nissan Patrol Y62: the last V8

The outgoing car: the Y62 Patrol Ti and Ti-L, with the 5.6-litre V8. Nissan offers $2,000 cashback on new and demonstrator MY26 Patrol bought between 1 and 30 November 2026, applied at the point of sale as a reduction from the purchase price, while stocks last. It excludes government, rental and national fleet buyers.

What replaces it: the all-new Y63 Patrol. Nissan Australia's release of 27 August 2026 prices it from $98,990 MSRP for the Ti, “just $2,450 more than the outgoing Y62 Patrol”, with a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 making 317kW and 700Nm and a 3,700kg braked towing rating. Orders are open, with first deliveries expected in early 2027. Our story on the end of the V8 Patrol has the background.

Take it if you want the V8, or you need a big wagon before the new one is delivered. Wait if the new Patrol's extra power, towing and equipment matter more to you than the engine note. Our towing guide covers the alternatives.

Hyundai Santa Fe: runout bonus across the range

The offer: Hyundai tags the MX5 Santa Fe “Runout”. The Hybrid FWD is $60,990 drive-away, the Hybrid AWD $63,990, the Elite Hybrid AWD $70,990, the Calligraphy Hybrid AWD $80,990 and the six-seat Calligraphy Hybrid AWD $81,490, for new stock bought and delivered between 1 October and 31 December 2026. The $1,500 Runout Bonus is listed on every grade, including the 2.5 turbo petrols, which carry no drive-away price on the page. Hyundai's offers page doesn't say what follows the current Santa Fe, so ask the dealer what model year arrives next.

Take it if you're shopping big seven-seat hybrids and want a dated offer to negotiate against. Compare with the rest in our seven-seater guide.

People movers

On the manufacturer pages we checked on 12 November 2026, we didn't find a people mover offer labelled run-out or clearance. Kia's offers page, for one, carried no Carnival run-out offer that day. If a people mover is what you need, the seven-seat SUVs above and our family car guide are the place to start, and the deals page updates as offers change.

LDV T60 MAX MY25: the clearest old-vs-new comparison

The outgoing car: the MY25 T60 MAX, which LDV labels “RUNOUT | LIMITED STOCK” on its price page. The Pro Auto is $37,042 drive-away retail or $34,990 for ABN holders, and the Plus Auto is $43,884 retail or $41,490 ABN, for new stock bought and delivered between 1 October and 30 November 2026. Not available to fleet, government or rental buyers.

What replaces it: already on sale. LDV calls it “The 163kW T60 MAX”, and its price page lists the MY27 Pro Auto at $39,989 drive-away retail ($37,990 ABN) and the Luxe Auto at $45,253 ($42,990 ABN). On LDV's own figures, the MY25 Pro Auto is $2,947 less than the MY27 Pro Auto on the retail drive-away price, and $3,000 less for ABN holders. This is the one comparison in this guide where the manufacturer prints both cars' prices on the same basis, side by side.

Take it if you want a cheap dual-cab ute for work or weekends and the extra power of the MY27 doesn't matter to you. Wait if you tow heavy or want the newer drivetrain; the gap is small enough to matter. See our 2027 ute guide.

Mazda BT-50: 2026-plated stock with cashback

The offer: Mazda's plate clearance on 2026-plated BT-50s. Drive-away from $39,990 for the XS 4x2 single cab chassis; XS dual cab pickup 4x4 from $53,990 plus $1,000 cashback; XT from $55,990 and Boss from $58,990, each plus $2,000 cashback; XTR from $64,990, GT from $67,990, SP from $69,990 and Thunder from $78,990, each plus $3,000 cashback. Premium paint is extra, except on the SP, where Mazda says it's included. “Plate Clearance Bonus valid on selected 2026 plated models, whilst stocks last”, and Mazda prints no end date.

Take it if you want a BT-50 and don't mind a 2026 build year. Nothing on Mazda's page says the BT-50 is being replaced; this is a build-year clearance.

Mitsubishi Triton 25MY

The offer: the 25MY Triton Clearance Blitz, for private buyers with NSW pricing: GLX-R 4WD $52,240, GLX-R Special Edition with Tradie Accessory Pack $54,990, GLS $56,990 and GLS Leather Seat $58,490 drive-away, each with a $3,000 fuel card. ABN holders get separate prices, $500 lower on each. Bought and delivered between 14 October and 30 November 2026, with the same exclusions as the Outlander offer.

Kia Tasman: cashback on 2025-built stock

The offer: Kia's cashback on in-stock new or demonstrator 2025 build Tasman, bought and delivered in November 2026. The Dual Cab Pick-up gets $5,000 on the SX+ and SX and $3,000 on the S 4x4. The Single and Dual Cab Chassis S 4x4 and SX 4x4 with the general purpose alloy tray get $5,000, for ABN holders only. The cashback comes off the purchase price on the contract, isn't available to fleet, government or rental buyers, and can't be combined with other offers unless Kia says so. The Tasman isn't being replaced; this is a build-year clearance, so check the build month on the car.

Toyota Tundra: 2025-built stock

The offer: on new and demonstrator Tundra built from 1 August to 31 December 2025 and bought from 1 November 2026, Toyota offers free on-road costs (12 months registration, 12 months CTP and stamp duty; dealer delivery and metallic or premium paint cost extra) plus a $12,000 bonus off the drive-away price or on accessories bought in the same transaction. No end date is printed. It's open to private buyers, fleet tiers and government buyers at participating dealers. A niche one, but it's the biggest printed bonus on a ute in this guide.

Electric and plug-in hybrid

Toyota bZ4X: $5,000 plate clearance on 2026 builds

The offer: a $5,000 Plate Clearance Bonus on new and demonstrator bZ4X 2WD and AWD built from 1 January to 31 December 2026 and bought from 1 October 2026. It applies to the drive-away price or to accessories bought and fitted in the same transaction, for private and Bronze fleet customers only. Toyota prints no end date. Separately, Toyota lists a novated-lease discount on bZ4X built from October 2025 ($4,200 2WD, $6,800 AWD), which is a different offer with its own eligibility; ask whether the two can be combined before you assume they can.

Nissan ARIYA MY25

The offer: Nissan's MY25 ARIYA 2WD 63kWh Engage is “now from $42,990 driveaway”, a maximum recommended drive-away price for private and ABN buyers on new and demonstrator MY25 ARIYA bought between 1 October 2026 and 31 March 2027 and delivered by 30 April 2027. It excludes government, rental and national fleet buyers. Nissan limits the offer to MY25 stock, so check the model year on the car; Nissan's offers page doesn't say what follows it.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 24MY: $10,000 cash bonus

The offer: a $10,000 cash bonus on new 24MY Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV Exceed Tourer AWD 7-seat and GSR 7-seat, redeemed at the point of sale as a reduction to the final negotiated price. Private and ABN buyers only; it excludes novated leases, demos, government, rental and national fleet. Mitsubishi says it runs “until last unit sold”. These are two-model-years-old cars now, so check the build date carefully and weigh it against the current Outlander PHEV. Our plug-in hybrid SUV guide has the field.

Outgoing car vs what replaces it

Confirmed means the manufacturer says it on its own Australian site or in an Australian release. Reported means Australian motoring media have it, sometimes quoting the manufacturer, but the manufacturer's own site doesn't yet. Build-year clearance means the model isn't changing; only the build year is.

How to compare a run-out deal: a checklist

  1. Put both cars on the same basis. Run-out offers are mostly drive-away; a new model is often announced as a list price before on-road costs. Get a drive-away quote on the new one in your postcode, or you're comparing different things.
  2. Read the state. GWM sets its prices for Victoria and Mitsubishi's page was set for NSW when we read it. Registration and stamp duty differ between states, so a drive-away price from another state isn't your price.
  3. Work out what the extras are worth to you, not on paper. Five free services, a fuel card or a gift card has real value, but only if you'd have spent that money anyway. A finance-linked deposit contribution is only worth it if the loan itself is competitive.
  4. Check whether offers stack. Hyundai's runout bonus is a deduction from the drive-away price, yet both its drive-away and bonus terms say not with other offers; GWM's offers can't be combined with its finance; Toyota lists two separate bZ4X offers. Get the final figure in writing.
  5. Note the end date and the delivery date. Several offers here need the car bought and delivered by the end date. If stock has to come from interstate, that can push you past it.
  6. Confirm the build month and model year on the contract. Build-window offers only apply to cars built inside the window.
  7. Price your trade-in separately. A big run-out discount and a low trade-in offer can cancel each other out. Get the trade-in figure on its own line.
  8. Compare the replacement's changes honestly. If the new model's extra equipment would cost you more as options on the old one, the run-out may not be the bargain it looks.

Questions to ask the dealer

  • What's the VIN, the build month and the model year of this exact car?
  • Is it new and unregistered, or a demonstrator? If demo, what's on the odometer and when was it registered?
  • Which manufacturer offer applies, and does the bonus or cashback come off the advertised drive-away price or is it already in it?
  • What's the final drive-away price in writing, with on-road costs itemised for my state?
  • When does the warranty start, and does the capped-price servicing apply to this build?
  • Can the car be delivered before the offer's delivery deadline?
  • What's replacing this model, and when do you expect the new ones to arrive?

Who should wait instead

Waiting makes sense when the replacement is close and confirmed, and the outgoing car's discount doesn't cover what the new one adds. On what's published today, that mostly applies to the Patrol (new one in early 2027, with Nissan's own figure of $2,450 more than the Y62), the Tucson (2027, unpriced) and the H6 (early 2027, reported, unpriced). If you need a car now, or you specifically want what's going away, such as a V8 Patrol or a petrol Tucson, the run-out is the only way to get it new.

If none of these is the car for you, the run-out season still helps: dealers are motivated across the board in November and December. Compare any two cars on our compare page, and browse the brands: Hyundai | Mazda | Nissan | Mitsubishi | LDV | GWM | Honda | Toyota | KGM.

Where these offers came from

Each offer was read on the manufacturer's own Australian page on 12 November 2026: Hyundai offers, Mazda plate clearance, Honda offers, GWM offers, Mitsubishi offers, KGM offers, Nissan offers, LDV price guide, Toyota current offers Kia offers. Replacement details come from Hyundai's Tucson page and Nissan's Patrol release, and from our dated news stories where they're reported. We'll update this guide as offers end or new ones appear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does run-out mean when you buy a new car in Australia?
A run-out car is remaining new stock of a model, model year or build year that is being replaced. It has never been registered, so it's sold as new with the full new-car warranty, but a newer version is on sale or on the way. Manufacturers and dealers usually put money on the bonnet to clear it: a lower drive-away price, a bonus off the price, cashback, free servicing or a finance deposit contribution.
When is the best time to buy a run-out car in Australia?
Run-out offers cluster in November and December, before the calendar year ticks over and a car's build year starts to look a year older. Of the manufacturer offers we confirmed on 12 November 2026, GWM, Nissan's Patrol cashback, Mitsubishi's 25MY clearance, LDV's T60 MAX MY25 runout and Kia's Tasman cashback end on 30 November 2026, Hyundai's Big Runout ends on 31 December 2026, and Honda's offer on 2026-built cars runs to 31 January 2027. Several others, including Mazda's, KGM's, Toyota's and Mitsubishi's 24MY Outlander PHEV bonus, print no end date and simply say while stocks last.
Is a run-out car a good deal?
It can be, if the price on your contract is genuinely lower than the replacement and you plan to keep the car long enough that its build year doesn't matter much. You give up the newer model's changes, and the car will be a year older on paper the day the calendar turns. Compare the run-out car's drive-away price with a drive-away quote on the new model in the same grade before you decide.
Does the new-car warranty start from the build date?
Generally no. New-car warranties normally start when the car is delivered to its first owner or first registered, not when it was built, so a run-out car bought in December still gets the full warranty term from that day. Check the exact wording in the manufacturer's warranty terms, especially on demonstrators, which may already have started theirs.
How do I check a car's build date and model year?
Ask the dealer for the VIN and the build month in writing before you sign. The build date is on the manufacturer's identification label, usually on a door pillar or under the bonnet. You can also look the VIN up on the federal Register of Approved Vehicles. The model year (MY25, MY26) is a manufacturer label and can differ from the build year, so ask for both, and make sure both appear on the contract.
What's the difference between run-out, plate clearance and a demo?
Run-out is new stock of a model or model year being replaced. Plate clearance is usually new stock built this year or earlier that has to go before 1 January, even if the model isn't changing (Mazda's covers 2025 and 2026 builds; Toyota uses the phrase for 2026-built bZ4X). A demonstrator has been registered and driven by the dealer, so it has kilometres on it and its warranty may already have started. Some offers cover new and demo cars, some exclude demos, so read the terms.
Show all 12 questions
Can I combine a run-out bonus with a manufacturer drive-away price?
Read the terms, because they differ. Hyundai lists a $1,500 Runout Bonus on the i30 Sedan, Tucson and Santa Fe 'applied as a deduction from the driveaway price', while its drive-away terms say they aren't available 'with other offers' and its bonus terms say the bonus 'cannot be combined with other offers', so ask the dealer to show how the two apply on your contract. GWM says its H6 offers 'cannot be used together with a finance offer'. Mitsubishi says no other offer can be used with its clearance price unless it says so.
Should I buy the outgoing Hyundai Tucson or wait for the new one?
Hyundai Australia's own page says the all-new Tucson is 'Coming soon in 2027', and the company has told media mid-2027 with a hybrid-only range at launch. The outgoing Tucson is from $40,990 drive-away for the petrol and from $44,990 for the hybrid until 31 December 2026, with a separate $1,500 runout bonus listed. Buy now if you want petrol or need a car this year. Wait if you want the newest design and can go without a car until mid-2027, knowing no price has been announced.
Is the run-out V8 Nissan Patrol still worth buying?
That depends on whether you want the V8. Nissan Australia says the new Y63 Patrol starts at $98,990 MSRP, 'just $2,450 more than the outgoing Y62', with a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 making 317kW and 700Nm and first deliveries in early 2027. On the outgoing Y62, Nissan is offering $2,000 cashback on MY26 Ti and Ti-L bought from 1 to 30 November 2026. If the V8 is the point, this is the last stock.
Are run-out deals available to ABN holders and fleets?
Usually to ABN holders, rarely to fleets. Most of the offers in this guide exclude government, rental and national fleet buyers. Some print a separate ABN price: LDV's T60 MAX MY25 Pro Auto is $37,042 drive-away retail and $34,990 for ABN holders, and Mitsubishi prints separate ABN drive-away figures on its 25MY Outlander and Triton.
Which run-out offers in Australia end on 30 November 2026?
Of the offers we confirmed on 12 November 2026: GWM's Haval H6 drive-away offers, Nissan's $2,000 cashback on MY26 Patrol Ti and Ti-L, Mitsubishi's 25MY Outlander and 25MY Triton Clearance Blitz, LDV's T60 MAX MY25 runout prices and Kia's cashback on 2025-build Tasman. Manufacturers can extend or withdraw offers, so check the manufacturer's page on the day you buy.
Is a 2026-built car worth less once it's 2027?
On paper it's a year older from 1 January, and many used-car valuations work from the build year, so expect that when you sell. The gap matters most if you trade in after two or three years and least if you keep the car for a long time. Weigh it against the discount you are actually getting on your contract.
