CarNet is a little different from other automotive websites. First of all, the primary
focus is to help you find a new or used car or sell your existing car with a minimum
of fuss. To achieve this, Search is available from all pages, and can be easily
hidden or expanded as required, providing more room for viewing search results.
Viewing details and making an enquiry is a one step process, from within the search
page. Better still, if you take a moment to register, your enquiry forms will be
pre-filled with your basic details and you need only add questions or comments before
submitting. All of this adds up to saving valuable time.
We also have less distracting advertising cluttering up the screen. Instead, we will bring you a range of genuine Special Offers from suppliers of quality automotive products and services, including discount coupons from our sister website www.CarCoupons.com.au, group purchasing offers and competitive car rentals from over 550 suppliers in 25,000 locations across Australia and around the world. More information follows.

Luxury and Prestige vehicles that may have many option combinations.

There are many advantages to buying your next car from a licenced Dealer. Firstly,
all States and Territories maintain strict consumer codes that afford a high level
protection from unfair trading practices.
- Many cars come with either mandatory or optional mechanical warranty (dependent on age and Kilometres).
- Most Dealers offer competitive and flexible finance packages (subject to normal lending criteria)
- Most Dealers offer trade in facilities for your current vehicle
- Most vehicles have undergone basic, if not comperhensive mechanical checks and must comply with local road-worthiness requirements
- Dealers must check and guarantee the title of vehicles sold
-
In a competitive market, buying from a Private Seller can represent great value.
Without the protection inherent when buying from a licensed Dealer, you must be
willing to make the appropriate checks on Title and Accident damage, and of course,
pre-arrange your finance.
But keeping that in mind, outstanding value from genuine sellers can be found.
If your are selling, take steps to not only present your car to maximise the all important first impression, but also to smooth the path to a successful transaction, by having a current payout to hand, registration papers, letters of authority (if required), service books, stamped up to date and a current roadworthy certificate.

Buying a car at auction can be an exciting process, with significant savings to
be had
However, you must be aware that at the pointy end of the wholesale market, you need to attend a few auction sales, get a feel for the process, set your budget, arrange your finance (most auction houses today can help with finance at competitive rates) and do your homework.
Public auctions are a high-paced affair. You will be bidding against professional buyers, who live by their buying skill. Initially, bidding can be a little daunting for the uninitiated. Make sure that you take the opportunity to attend the pre-auction viewing, ask to see service histories and check cars of interest closely.
Auction cars are sold as is and you will not have an opportunity to test drive, but with careful selection, fantastic bargins can be found. Make your first bid clear to the auctioneer and off you go!
Prices shown within the 'Car Auctions' section of CarNet display 'indicative bidding' prices as a guide. Prices achieved at auction, may be higher, or lower than the guide.
On CarNet, a selection of auction cars are also listed for a short period of time within the 'Dealer Used & Demo' section, at or around the indicative price guide. These cars may be purchased prior to auction.
