Buying a new car is hard.

How to buy a car using CarExpert

Australia is one of the busiest new car markets in the world, with more than 60 brands competing for your attention.

Throw in the choice between petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric cars, and it can be hard to know where to look.

Once you’ve worked out what you want to buy, you need to work out how much it’s worth – and with the supply of new cars finally improving for Australia, there are finally deals to be had.

Along with allowing you to research which new car to buy, we can help you find a deal from one of our vetted dealerships, put you in touch with that dealership, and help guide you through the process with our Australian concierge team.

Why? Because we want to make the process of buying a new car simpler.

Step 1: Work out what you’re looking for 

You might already know what sort of car you’re after. If you do, you can move on to the next step.

If you don’t, use our car chooser to narrow down a few options.

You’re able to select a vehicle based on how you plan to use it (city driving, for example), before narrowing down your selection based on its body style and fuel type, before the car chooser presents you with a range of options.

Step 2: Do your research

Having narrowed down what it is you’re after, it’s time to start reading… or watching.

Our price and specs pages – linked to the Ford Ranger page, but available for any new car – will show you how much a car costs, and let you compare different trim levels to see what you do (or don’t) get for your money.

Our detailed written reviews offer an expert opinion of the car you’re looking at, while Paul Maric’s video reviews put cars through their paces at the proving ground previously used to develop new Holdens.

You can also use our comparison tool to build your own head-to-head, from within a car’s showroom.

Step 3: Let us do the heavy lifting 

Once you’ve worked out what it is you want, submit your details and let our Brisbane-based concierge team do the heavy lifting for you.

We can connect you with multiple CarExpert-accredited dealers, giving you choice, options and, most of all, the best shot at a great price.

Currently on our deals page, Alfa Romeo is offering the equivalent of $8600 off some Stelvio models in the form of free on-road costs, Chery is offering free servicing deals on its Tiggo 7 Pro, and Volkswagen is offering drive-away deals on the Tiguan Allspace.

Some of these deals are exclusive to CarExpert, and are offered for a limited time.

Step 4: Let us help you sell your existing vehicle

That’s right, we can help you sell cars as well.

Simply enter your vehicle’s registration, or its make and model, for a quick quote. From there, you can add more detail about its condition for a more accurate estimate about what it’s worth.

If you don’t want the hassle of selling the car yourself, we can connect you to a dealer keen to buy it.

There are no hidden costs or fees, and there’s no obligation to accept a quote that’s offered to you.
