Brokers, why use them?

Awareness of car brokers in Australia is relatively limited, but buying through a broker can deliver major advantages.

Car brokers were originally employed by dealers to attract customers to their yard, if they managed to attract a customer then the broker was paid a fee. The job opportunity evolved and now car brokers set up businesses to help buyers find the right vehicle and if necessary finance it with the cheapest lender.

Car brokers usually have an established network of car dealerships, and already know where to go for a better deal. Many customers assume that including a third party (such as a broker) adds a great deal of cost, the reality is that the broker will have a better chance at negotiating a better deal that the end customer.

Advantages of buying through a broker include

• Time savings: Brokers do the time-consuming 'leg work' of shopping around to compare prices, taking vehicles for a test drive, arranging mechanical inspections of used cars, and collecting the vehicle.

• Cost savings: Brokers are experience in their area of expertise, they'll have up-to-date knowledge on lenders, and used car values

• Car brokers are most likely aware of the warning signs, which will point to a poorly maintained car. They will also know which dealers are trustworthy of a good deal and will probably just return to that dealer if the quality is good.

• Financing: brokers will be accredited with numerous lenders; they will know their requirements and what they need from the customer for a time effective application.

• Insurance: Brokers can organise car insurance for you before you pick the car up. Their network of lenders enables them to source the best deal for you the client.

• Buying a new car, brokers may be able to get you an extended warranty. They will arrange most of these details before the delivery and inform the client before doing so.

Try to find a reputable Broker, whilst there will be fees involved chances are they will save you money, a great deal of time, and stress that comes with the amount of information you'll have to obtain. It's as simple as advising the broker of your budget and previous credit history. If there's any problem sometimes the broker may be able to negotiate with the seller on your behalf to help resolve an issue you may have.
