Going on a test drive?

Headache 1:

Test driving a car means giving your name and number to a sales person. Their job is now to 'ring you out' of the market. It is not unusual to have 4 or 6 sales people from different dealerships all chasing the same buyer. This happens when you look at several makes, or you have been to several dealers trying to get pricing.

Solution:

Let CarBroker.com.au arrange the test drive for you. Because you become our client, dealers will not hound you. Instead, we (and only we) provide the help you need to test drive and select the right car for you. Just fill in the form above and we will get started!

Headache 2:

You cannot get the dealer's best price unless you are buying the car. Once you have Dealer A's best price, you cannot go and see what Dealer B will offer as his best price. So - you cannot get the dealers to go head-to-head to get to the lowest price.

Solution:

We have developed a system where we set the dealers against each other, going head-to-head against each other to win your business. We help private buyers, small business, and some of Australia's largest companies buy cars every day! We help buy thousands of cars every year. Our dealer network is constantly growing, and numbers more than 1100 dealerships.

Check the boot space

Don’t forget to have a look in the boot! Ideally, if you have a golf bag or a stroller than needs to fit in there, and you are not 100% sure it will fit; you should take it with you and make sure. Imagine the embarrassment if your stuff won't fit!!

Safety features

Possibly the most important advance in safety since the introduction of seatbelts is ESC. ESC is short for Electronic Stability Control, a new safety technology that helps drivers to avoid crashes by reducing the danger of skidding. ESC reduces the risk of a single vehicle crash by more than 40%. Not all new cars are fitted with ESC. FCAI provides a list of those that do and those that don't. Make an informed choice!

Driving and handling

Does the vehicle give you a comfortable ride? Will you be happy with the feel? Make sure you test the vehicle over small bumps to feel how soft or firm it feels through the seat and the wheels. Very stiff suspension can result in significant body fatigue when you have to travel longer distances.

Automatic transmissions should be tested up hills to assess the response to kick down. Try pushing the throttle and check for passing power at low speed and well as highway speed. How does it respond at 60klms when compared to 90klms?

Noise considerations

Road and wind noise can affect your ability to hear others in the car when you have conversations. Turn the radio off when you get into the vehicle. Around suburban streets, most cars will sound quiet but what is the engine and wind noise like on the highway or freeway? The best way for most people to check this is by way of comparing. Have a conversation at freeway speed and compare it to your existing car, or a competitor to the car you are testing.

Remember to turn the radio on again at some point before end of the drive to check the quality of the sound. A lot of people like to bring their favourite CD and hear how it sounds in different cars
