Car Brokers Save You Thousands of Dollars
Cars have always been in Doug Whiffin’s blood. “My grandfather was a
car nut, and my father is a car enthusiast to this day. It was
inevitable that I would end up working with cars.” After years of
working several jobs both in and out of the car industry Doug
thought that he had put the long hours and weekend work behind him
forever when he bought a computer business early last year. But he
missed the car industry, and now he is back contracting for who is
arguably Australia’s oldest “car broking” service.
Direct From Wholesaler
Car Search Brokers Australia Pty Ltd was formed in 1979 and
specializes in taking the stress out of buying an automobile. “We
can also save people thousands of dollars in some instances,”
asserts Doug. “We do all the running around and negotiating and we
buy directly from wholesalers – the places where car dealers buy
their cars from. Our customers get access to haunts that are
typically “trade only.”
No Hidden Charges
“We are cutting out the middle man. I worked at one dealership once
that had a $2000 lot charge, and an administration fee of $500. |
This meant that the customer was already paying a $2500 levy before
the dealership had put their profit margin on top. These are the
sorts of hidden charges our customers don’t have to pay because we
don’t have big glamorous show rooms and we don’t hold any stock.”
What People Love About Them
Doug says that the majority of his customers are corporate,
professional and lately an increasing number of women. “I think
people feel apprehensive about buying a motor vehicle. Some don’t
like all the shopping around, some are confused by all the different
models on offer, and some simply aren’t comfortable dealing with car
salesmen. This is what people love about us”
Guaranteed Clear Title
Although car broking is a recent phenomenon people needn’t be
worried about who they are dealing with. “The one thing we do have
in common with other car dealers is that we are licenced by the
state of Victoria and we have to follow very stringent regulations
relating to roadworthiness and warranty obligations. People buying
through us are guaranteed clear title.” Anybody in the market for a
new or used vehicle would be well advised to contact Doug. |
