Common questions

What is the best way to buy a car in Australia?

Shortlist two or three cars, test drive them back to back, sort finance and your trade-in value before you negotiate, then compare drive-away prices from more than one dealer.

How do I find good new car deals?

Ask several dealers for a written drive-away price on the exact variant, keep the trade-in separate, and be flexible on colour and timing. End of month and end of financial year can help, but a competing written quote helps more.

Should I sort finance before I visit a dealer?

Yes. Knowing your rate and repayments first means you can judge the dealer's finance offer instead of accepting it by default.
