Step 1
RESEARCH
It is always useful and important to do some online research on the vehicle(s) you short-list by comparing their base price, specifications and features. Make sure the car you have chosen brings you intended value or serve a specific purpose. One good place to do this is at CarSales.com.au where you can compare upto five different vehicles side-by-side to easily identify their spec and feature differences. It also show you the vehicle base cost including GST but excluding any on-road costs. These wills provide you a guide as to whether the vehicle price fits into your budget.
Step 2
TEST DRIVE
Next wise thing to do after you have shortlisted your vehicle would be to get behind the wheel and take them for a drive. Whether it is around the block or a short blast on the free way, both will give you a good idea how the vehicle handles and how comfortable you are driving it. Even if you are comfortable not driving it before you buy, it is still worthwhile to see the car in flesh, especially the colours as their appearance can vary between your computer monitor or the product brochure to the real thing. And if you are time poor and do not want to go through the hassles of being asked many questions by the sales guy, then we can arrange to have the vehicle brought to you (subject to availability & conditions apply) for a test drive at a time convenient you. Alternately, we can make arrangements for you to test drive the vehicle at a dealer during business hours without heavy sales tactics being pressured on you.
Step 3
REQUEST A QUOTE
Once you have picked the car you love and in the position to make the buying commitment, send the vehicle details to us by email or Contact Us page detailing the make, model, variant, any factory or aftermarket options/accessories and upto 3 acceptable colours (in order of preference). We will invite upto 4 dealers to quote (this can include your preferred/local dealer if you nominate one) on the vehicle of your choice and then provide you with the lowest possible price within 48 hours. (a refundable quoting fee of $49.95 applies)
Step 4
DECIDING HOW TO PAY FOR YOUR PURCHASE
Cash or card, or maybe financing? Well, paying for a vehicle on a credit card is not all that impossible these days but the associated surcharges (2%-5%) will usually discourage many purchasers. And this leaves two most common methods of payment type, Cash & Finance. It would be wise to evaluate your financial situation or even talk to your accountant or financial adviser to determine which method is best suited to your needs. The benefits or pitfalls of these two payment options can vary greatly depending on personal situation. In case if you don't have a personal accountant or financial adviser, I have included some useful links that will take you to some very useful resources where you can self-educate or ask for some professional advice.
Step 5
PLACE YOUR ORDER
After you have agreed on the total purchase price and determined the best payment option, we will arrange for the winning dealer to prepare and send you a purchase contract for signing. At this point, you will also be required to pay a small deposit (usually $1,000) in order for the dealer to secure and allocate a vehicle against your name. Typically this transaction is completed electronically via email. However if you find yourself short of modern technology such as the facility for email, printer & scanner, we can bring them to you for signing at a time and location convenient to you, and then return them to the dealership.
Step 6
TAKE DELIVERY OF YOUR BRAND NEW CAR
Usually when you buy a new car from the dealer, they would ask you to collect the car from the showroom when it is ready. And with a bit of luck, you may also receive up to half tank for fuel. But the question is, why did you had to pay a Dealer Delivery fee when the car is not even delivered to you? Plus the inconveniences of having to make your way to the dealer either by taking a cab or taking another person with you so one of you could drive the vehicle back in peak traffic? It all sounds too much of a headache to me!
Taking delivery of your brand new car should be as easily and excitingly as it can get. So we will arrange for your new car to be drive-delivered to your home or work at a time convenient to you, and with a FULL tank of fuel! We can even cater for some after-hour delivery upon request (conditions apply).
