Skip the dealership. We source the car for you.

Are car brokers worth it?

A broker is worth it when what you are short of is time, leverage or confidence. We buy cars every day across the national dealer network, so we know what a given model is actually transacting at this month rather than what the price list says — and dealers quote us differently because we bring repeat volume rather than one walk-in.

A broker is not worth it if you genuinely enjoy the process, have the time to chase quotes across multiple states, and are buying something so heavily in demand that nobody is discounting it. On an allocation-constrained model, no one can conjure a discount that does not exist — though we can often find the car itself sooner.

The honest test is total outcome, not just price: what you paid, what you got for your old car, how long it took, and whether anything was bundled into the deal you did not want.

Do car brokers actually save you money?

Usually, and there are three separate places it comes from. The first is the vehicle price itself, because we run the same request across multiple dealers rather than negotiating with the one you happened to walk into.

The second is the finance and the back end of the deal — the extended warranty, paint protection and insurance products that carry high margin and are typically sold as a small addition to a weekly repayment. We tell you what each one costs as a dollar figure and whether it is worth having.

The third is your trade-in. Handled separately from the purchase, it stops being a lever the seller can move to make a discount look larger than it is.

We will also tell you when there is nothing to save. If a model is in short supply and selling at full price, we say so rather than pretending we negotiated something.

Are car brokers legitimate, and who do they work for?

Car broking is a legitimate and established part of the Australian market. The question worth asking is who pays the broker and whether that shapes the recommendation.

Some brokers are effectively an extension of one dealer group or one finance provider, and their advice follows the money. Ask any broker directly: which dealers do you buy from, are you paid differently depending on which car or which lender I choose, and will you show me the drive-away breakdown in writing.

We source across the national franchised dealer network rather than a single relationship, and the car is still sold to you by a licensed dealer — so your consumer guarantees, statutory warranty entitlements and manufacturer warranty are exactly the same as if you had walked in yourself.

How much do car brokers charge?

Models vary across the industry: some charge a flat fee to the buyer, some are paid by the dealer on delivery, and some do both. Neither is wrong, but you should always know which one applies to you before you engage anyone.

There is no upfront fee to start with us. Ask any broker for their fee structure in writing at the outset, and ask what happens to it if you change your mind before delivery.
