Buying your next car through a dealer comes with heaps of benefits not found in private sales. The most valuable being that you’re covered by the laws dealers must abide by, including the Consumer Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act, amongst others.

  • Dealers are required to provide all of the correct information you’d have to find yourself in a private sale. Including the number of owners, odometer reading, as well as quality, safety and any faults. Plus, they’re experts in this and should be able to answer any questions you have.
  • If the car you buy has debts owing, the dealer will be liable (unless it was specifically pointed out to you in writing prior to the sale).
  • Some cars purchased through a dealer come with a guarantee or warranty, which means the dealer is liable if anything goes wrong with the car within a certain period of time.
  • Some dealers also offer additional services such as car servicing, finance and insurance.

Whilst buying from a car dealer may be more expensive than a private seller, your purchase comes with extra protection and guarantees. Use the dealer directory to find the right dealer for you!
