Phone call

Firstly, we’ll get to know what you’re looking for, and if you need any assistance with the trade in. At this stage, we can give you advice on what the best car for you may be.

Test drive

If you haven't already, at this point we can help arrange a test drive for your chosen make and model to make sure you’re comfortable before buying.

From here, we’ll do the hard work for you and negotiate pricing, stock and delivery with the dealer on your behalf. We’ll do all the hard work for you!

Price

After speaking to our nationwide network of dealers, we’ll come back to you to let you know what the price will be.

How does a car buying service work?

What is a car buying service?

You might use a car buying service, or a broker, if you’re looking to get a new car without the hassle of the haggle at the dealership. At OnlineAuto, we can help negotiate a deal on your behalf, potentially bringing down the price and bringing forward delivery dates.

How do I get my new car?

After you’ve test driven, are happy with the deal and are ready to sign the order form, we can either deliver the car to your home with a full tank of fuel, or we can arrange pickup from the dealer at a time that suits you.

Why do dealerships work with an online car buying service?

Online car brokers like OnlineAuto have relationships with dealer networks, and we deal with dealers on a daily basis.

What states do you offer your car buying services in?

We’ve helped people buy new cars in every state and territory in Australia. No matter where you are, we can help.

Can I test drive a car I buy online?

After our first phone call with you, we can assist in arranging a test drive for the car you want. You tell us the make and model you’re interested in, and we’ll work with the local dealer to get a test drive booked in.

What fees do you charge or how do you make money?

At OnlineAuto.com.au we charge no additional fees for our service. Our referral fee is paid to us by the winning dealer that we source your car from and is included in the price of the car, covering procurement and delivery management. It also ensures you have a dedicated car buying specialist from the beginning of the process to finally having the car delivered to your front door.

Where do you operate?

Our head office is in Brisbane, but as an online car broker we can look after people all over Australia no matter where you live.
