We receive a fee from the supplying dealer.

For a dealer to provide us with the best price they need to know that we have a committed purchaser, so we need your authority to allow us to broker your deal completely. We also need to know what price you are prepared to pay for your new vehicle. New car dealers understand our buying process. They know that we will get quotes from their competitors so right from the start they will provide us with their “best price.” The more information we have, the better equipped we are to work for you.

No! Car Search works as your buying agent, purchasing the vehicle through a new car franchised dealer. In fact by purchasing a new vehicle through Car Search you have the backing of a bulk buyer, ensuring any concerns you do have regarding your warranty will be heard.

Car Search will give you a complete “drive away” price on your new vehicle request.

No! The reason so many people use Car Search is so they don’t have to see a dealer.

We are able to organise test drives for new and used vehicles without you even having to step foot in a dealership or, sometimes, even leave your home.

We encourage you to have an idea of what you want and how much you are willing to pay. Most manufacturers list their retail prices on the internet or in the paper, but be aware these prices don’t include all of your on-road and statutory costs as they differ from state to state.

Once you have made that initial enquiry our responsibility to you as a client begins. Our commitment to you extends past finding you the right vehicle. We care about what our customers want and once we have delivered your new or used vehicle we contact you again to get your feedback on our service and how we can improve.

When purchasing a new vehicle delivery times can vary depending on the stock available to the market. Most vehicles, if in stock, are available for delivery within two to three days. Again depending on what type of vehicle you require the time sourcing your used vehicle can vary. Most used vehicles are located and delivered within a week.  For any interstate deliveries, time frames are largely reliant on the transportation company.  If in doubt please contact your broker for an update on your vehicles progress.
