Hey Everyone,

I know some of you people have used Car brokers in the past.

Just trying to see if there are anyone that people would recommend.

Thanks

My friend is a car broker - just had lunch with him today in North Melbourne. Sat in on a dealer auction too which was interesting

Personally I would rather do it myself

Well trying to work out all options. So looking for reputable companies that people have dealt with.

Work (big big accounting/law firm) uses Aspire - http://www.aspireauto.com.au/howItWorks.php

I assume they are partially reputable.

In all honesty it depends what your looking for and a quick trip around 3/4 dealers does the same thing if your looking for standard cars or pretty standard models.

They are generally more useful if your looking for a rare or specific combination of car thats rare.

But to answer the actual question lol

I used Private Fleet and there was nothing wrong with them. They were nice and organised some stuff, delivery and got the dealer to do it all over the phone and pick me up from my house for delivery and you get the cheap tyres and windscreens etc in future.

But they still only matched the same price I got from shopping around but like I said I brought a boring stock standard model. So I suppose it was worth it in that the dealer didn't annony me and they did most of it for you for nothing in effect so.......

But still go to 2/3 dealers so you know what kinda prices you should expect because there are some questionable ones out there.

If the car was wanted was an Auto this question wouldn't be asked but the fact that a manual is require (Falcon) it becomes a real P.I.T.A.

Thanks for the tip.

Hows a car broker going to make it any easier to source a manual...

Just talk to a site sponser like Andrew from Etheridge Ford...
