Motor Scout Set To Change The Way Australians Buy Cars

Motor Scout, a new online service, is set to change the way Australians buy their next car and it could save them a fortune. This revolutionary service launches on April 10th, 2018 and will turn the current car buying model completely on its head.

Instead of wading through thousands of cars online, buyers can simply spec their perfect car and dealers across the country can bid for their business. The best part of all? It’s completely free for the consumer and Motor Scout takes a tiny percentage from the dealer to cover its costs.

Customers no longer have to take the best price on offer at the local dealership and they won’t have that nagging feeling that they missed the best deal in a blur of online offers. In fact, they can source a price from dealers across the country and that will include delivery to your door.

“Buying a new car is exciting, but it can turn into a real headache,” said Motor Scout Founder Peter Gee. “It’s confusing. You end up trying to compare apples and oranges and you can spend days trying and failing to get the best deal.

“It shouldn’t be this difficult. Our concept is simple, we want the dealers to make the effort to sell our customers the right car at the right price. There is no smoke and mirrors, we simply present the best options, wherever they are in the country.”

Customers can expect at least three firm offers within 24 hours of entering their details. Motor Scout is so confident in its pricing system that it offers a lowest price guarantee. If the website can’t beat a firm offer that a consumer gets elsewhere, they’ll send them a $50 gift voucher and a sincere apology.

There’s no haggling with the dealer, each price is non-negotiable. So customers don’t have to play hardball and they won’t get harassed by showrooms offering to sweeten the deal.

Dealers won’t be able to try and talk them into a similar car that’s languishing on the forecourt either. That means customers will get the car they want, in their chosen specification, at the right price.

Motor Scout will start with the 14 most popular car manufacturers in Australia. The company fully intends to have all manufacturers and dealers on board by the end of 2018 when the remaining marques get the chance to gauge Motor Scout’s inevitable impact.

A revolution is coming in Australian car sales and the public will finally get a service that puts them first. Buying a car is about to get much easier.
