Your Canberra Car Buying Expert

Canberra's car market has its own characteristics - a mix of government fleet vehicles, privately owned cars, and imports from Sydney. The ACT's cold winters and hot summers mean vehicle condition can vary significantly depending on how they've been maintained.

We Search the Market

Our team searches dealerships to find vehicles matching your criteria, and obtains competing quotes so you can see what a strong deal looks like.

We Negotiate the Deal

This depends on how specific your requirements are and the current market — a common model in ready supply moves faster than a rare configuration. We'll give you a realistic expected timeframe when we talk, keep you updated throughout the search, and won't rush you into a decision.

Yes. We prepare a market-based valuation of your current vehicle before negotiations start, so the trade-in figure works for you rather than against you. We negotiate the new car price and the trade-in separately — the way it should be done.
