The smarter market

New car agencies are everywhere. Nobody is doing this for used.

The buyer's agency industry in Australia has spent the last decade focused almost entirely on new cars. The pitch is always the same: let us save you a few thousand on your next order. That market is well-served, well-understood, and increasingly commoditised.

The used car market — particularly near-new vehicles under three years old — is an entirely different story. It's where information asymmetry is most severe. Dealers price against an uninformed buyer. Private sellers anchor to retail. And until now, there has been no professional intermediary working exclusively on the buyer's side of a used car transaction.

That's the gap CarBuyAgent was built to fill. We operate exclusively in the used and near-new market, which means every tool, every data source, and every negotiation strategy we deploy is calibrated specifically for this environment.

0 professional buyer's agents operating exclusively in Australia's used car market — until now.

Transferrable manufacturer warranty

Near-new vehicles under three years old carry the balance of the original factory warranty. You get manufacturer protection without the new-car premium.

Low kilometres, proven reliability

The depreciation curve is steepest in years one and two. Near-new buyers absorb that cost. You don't — and you get a mechanically sound vehicle with a full service history.

20–35% below new car price

The same vehicle, two years older, often costs 20–35% less. With the right negotiation, that gap widens further. This is where CarBuyAgent operates.

⚡ Used EV — important note

Good choice — but battery health is everything in a used EV. Our AI will only shortlist vehicles under 3 years old. We require a current battery State of Health report (85%+ SoH) from the seller as a condition of any shortlisting — if it can't be provided, the vehicle doesn't make your list.

You've already done the hard part. Let us handle the rest.

The emerging market nobody is talking about

The used EV market is coming.
We're already here.

Every buyer's agency in the country is chasing new EV sales. The incentives are there, the manufacturers are pushing hard, and the comparison sites are overflowing with new Tesla and BYD listings.

But the real opportunity — and the real anxiety — is in the used EV market. Buyers who want the running cost savings of an EV without the new-car premium are entering a market where one variable overwhelms all others: battery health. A used EV with degraded battery capacity isn't just less efficient — it's a fundamentally different asset to what you think you're buying.

CarBuyAgent will not shortlist a used EV unless a current battery health report already exists or the seller agrees to provide one as a condition of the deal. We only consider vehicles under three years old, and a minimum State of Health of 85% is non-negotiable. If a seller won't provide the report, the vehicle doesn't make your list — full stop.

"The new EV market is crowded. The near-new used EV market is where the value is — and where buyers need the most protection."

The CarBuyAgent EV Standard

Every used EV we shortlist must meet these criteria:

✓ Vehicle age: under 3 years old
✓ Odometer: under 60,000km (preferred)
✓ Current battery SoH report provided by seller (85%+ required)
✓ Full charge history available
✓ No battery replacement history flags
✓ PPSR clear — no encumbrances
✓ Transferrable manufacturer or statutory warranty

We do not conduct battery health tests. A current SoH report must be provided by the seller or arranged by them prior to any offer being made. Vehicles without this report are not shortlisted.

Three moves. Infinite leverage.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence.

The Shortlist

Real-time data across 47 markets. Cross-referenced transaction records. We identify where your specific near-new vehicle is underpriced relative to true market rate — and brief you on exactly why.

"You receive a curated shortlist. Not a spreadsheet dump."

High-Leverage Negotiation

We engage the seller directly. Holdback percentages, pack fees, floorplan pressure, end-of-cycle windows, private seller psychology. We dismantle the margin stack methodically — and for EVs, we make seller provision of a current battery SoH report a non-negotiable condition of any offer.

"You never speak to the dealer under pressure. We do."

Gold Standard Handoff

When we've locked a price that meets our benchmark, we hand you the complete deal package: final price, full fee breakdown, condition report, and a clear path to close. For EVs, the seller's battery SoH report is included in the package before you commit. You sign. We've done everything else.

"Our fee is only captured at handoff. Not before."

Why we built this

For two decades, we were on the other side of the table. Now we're on yours.

We operated inside the largest dealership networks across the country. We watched — from the inside — as profit was systematically extracted from buyers who simply didn't know what we knew. The mechanics were always the same: artificial scarcity manufactured on the lot floor. Holdback revenue hidden in plain sight behind invoice pricing. High-pressure closes designed to outlast your patience, not your logic.

It wasn't a secret. It was infrastructure. The entire model runs on information asymmetry — and it wins because most buyers never knew the game was being played against them. The new car agency industry has started to address this. Nobody was doing it for the used car market.

We built CarBuyAgent to change that. By productising the same institutional intelligence dealers use against buyers — and focusing it exclusively on near-new and used vehicles — we've created something that didn't exist before: a professional, data-driven intermediary working entirely for the used car buyer.

"It's why dealerships hate seeing us at the table — and why our clients never pay retail again."

The Hero Car Guarantee

We deliver the deal, or you owe us nothing.

Our fee is never captured upfront. It is held and only processed when we hand you a completed deal that meets the parameters of your brief — verified vehicle, negotiated price, clean deal structure. If we can't source a qualifying deal within the agreed engagement window, your payment is fully refunded. No partial fees. No administration charges. Nothing.

"This is not a money-back policy. It is the terms of our performance contract."

Got a trade-in?

Don't let the dealer set the price on your current car.

The trade-in counter is where dealerships make some of their most reliable margin. Your vehicle is assessed quickly, priced conservatively, and the number is buried inside a finance package designed to obscure what you're actually receiving for it.

CarBuyAgent has direct access to an extensive network of wholesale buyers across Australia. We assess your trade-in against live market data, present it to the right buyers, and return a genuine wholesale offer — well above what any dealer will put on the table at the point of sale.

"We've seen clients receive 18–25% more for their trade-in through our wholesale network than the dealer's opening offer."
