We will make contact with the seller for you

Once we’ve found ‘the one’ we will make contact with the seller for you. It’s worth noting that sellers tend to be far more honest about the vehicle condition if they know the potential buyer is local rather than overseas. In most cases, Australian sellers are open to negotiation, so if you’re not one for haggling, we’re happy to do so on your behalf - remember, we are on YOUR side, not the seller’s. Who knows, you may save more than our service fee before your new car even goes on the boat!

As already mentioned, we allow AUD200 for this part of the process, which covers any cars located in most capital cities. For cars located in remote areas and/or where transport is expensive, we can get a quote for you before you purchase the vehicle so you can decide whether or not to go ahead with the deal. All our vehicles are transported on fully-insured tilt-tray transporters, rather than driven or towed. Note that we generally advise against making separate arrangements with the seller to drive their car anywhere once sold, as they can often be fairly ‘mechanically unsympathetic’ once they have money in their bank account and the car technically belongs to you, the buyer.

Depending on where the car is (and where you are!), we will ship your new vehicle to your nearest port via the cheapest method. Generally, this is via RO-RO, which stands for Roll-On Roll-Off vessel. RO-RO vessels are like a giant, fully enclosed ferry where your car is safe from the elements. It’s the shipping method used by almost all new vehicle manufacturers. If RO-RO is not available, or you have additional parts travelling with the car, then shipping in a container is your best option. As a general rule, you can transport parts inside the car without incurring additional cost if shipping in a container, so it makes sense to use the opportunity if you can. Once the car is on the vessel and on its way to you, we will send you all the paperwork you need to clear the car off the docks in your country.
