Buying a car made easy

If you've ever wasted a weekend or two talking to a dealer about cars you are not really interested in just because they wanted to 'do you a great deal', take heart, there is an alternative.


"Like all busy professionals, dentists often don't have the time or the expertise to find the car they are looking for," said Mr Edan Thompson, managing director of Professional Car Traders. "That's where we come in. We can help you locate the car you are looking for and negotiate the best price on your behalf."

Professional Car Traders offer a nationwide service that, according to Mr Thompson, will save you a huge amount of time and money and more importantly, take an interest in what you actually want and not what a dealer wants to sell you.

The company will find you any kind of car you desire and specialise in near new prestige cars.

"If you are looking for a prestige marque, you can literally save a fortune buying a near new vehicle," Mr Thompson said. "For any number of reasons, people who buy new cars need or want to sell them, in some cases, just a few months later. It will generally have nothing to do with the mechanical quality of the vehicle, but because it is now considered second-hand, the new car premium no longer applies. We can help you find the make and model car you want and at a significant saving."

Mr Thompson highlighted a recent "deal" where he found a BMW 535i sport fully optioned with 17" alloy wheels, leather seats and electric everything on behalf of a dentist client. Bought today, this vehicle would cost over $140,000. The 2002 model with 40,000 kilometres on the clock found by Professional Car Traders cost the client only $67,000.

"There is not a car yard in Sydney that would not put a ticket of between $89,000 and $95,000 on its window," Mr Thompson said, "yet we arranged the deal for only $67,000 with three year roadside assist and a warranty included."
