Finding the right car takes time. Searching listings every night, messaging sellers who do not reply, driving out to see cars that were nothing like the photos, checking histories, and starting again on Monday. It is exhausting, and most people give up and settle.
For buyers who do not want to spend weeks on that, I handle the whole process. From finding the options through to the purchase.
The genuinely good ones, the honest one owner cars with real service history at a fair price, do not sit around. They are listed on a Tuesday and gone by Thursday. If you are checking listings after work, you are seeing what is left.
You are not searching a market. You are searching the leftovers.
I am looking during the day, every day, and I know within about thirty seconds of opening a listing whether it is worth a phone call. That is not talent. It is just doing it constantly.
Not just the make and model. How you drive, what you will use it for, what you can live with and what you cannot. Half the time people come to me asking for one car and leave the call looking for a different one that suits them better.
Every day, everywhere. Dealers, private sellers, listings that have not been advertised properly, cars that have been sitting because the ad is terrible even though the car is good. Those are often the best ones.
You do not drive anywhere. I inspect the shortlist properly, the same three layers as any inspection: the car, the paperwork and the seller. Most of them will not survive that. That is the point.
When one is right, I handle the price conversation and the paperwork. You turn up, look at it, and drive it home. First time you meet the car, it is already yours if you want it.
I do not buy cars and sell them to you. I never take a car into my own name. Every purchase happens directly between you and the seller, with me acting for you.
The moment I make money on the car itself instead of on my time, I am on the other side of the table from you. So I do not.
That is not a legal technicality. It is the whole reason this works. I have no stock to move, no car I need you to like, and no incentive to tell you a car is good when it is not.
I never take a cent from a dealer, a seller, a finance broker or a mechanic. My only pay cheque is yours.

Then I tell you early. Sometimes the car you want does not exist at the price you want, and the useful thing I can do is say that on day three rather than week eight.
Yes, and often the right car is not in Sydney. Interstate is quoted upfront including flights, so you know the number before we start looking.
As many as it takes, within reason. We agree the scope up front so neither of us ends up in a search with no end.
No. If you find a car yourself halfway through, or change your mind about what you want, tell me. This is meant to make your life easier, not trap you.
Ten minutes on the phone and I will know whether I can find it, roughly what it should cost, and how long it might take.
