Want more cars to buy?
DealerOffer sends you fully described, photographed vehicles from motivated private sellers — matched to what you actually buy.
How the network works
Sellers describe their car once — condition, history, photos, disclosures. We put it in front of a small number of dealers whose buying profile fits. You price it independently: no dealer sees another dealer's offer, and there's no public auction.
If the seller chooses your offer, you inspect, confirm the car matches the description, and complete the purchase. Offers are expected to be honoured where the car materially matches what was disclosed — price reviews require a structured reason, and adjustment rates are tracked across the network. Dealers who price honestly win here.
What you get
- Genuine private sellers who want to sell, not tyre-kickers
- Full condition disclosures and photo sets before you price
- Your offers stay private — no race-to-the-top bidding war
- Inspection and handover logistics coordinated for you

Applications are reviewed personally. We're selective about the network — that's the point.
Why source this way
Auction is the default fallback for restocking, and it comes with buyer fees, transport, limited inspection time and no seller to ask about history. Trade-ins only arrive when someone happens to be buying a car from you. Neither gives you much control over what turns up.
Vehicles here come from private owners who have decided to sell, have described the car in detail and have photographed it — including the faults. You price from that information before committing to anything.
What we ask of dealers in the network
- Price honestly the first time. Sellers see every offer side by side. An optimistic number that gets trimmed at inspection damages the network and your standing in it.
- Honour offers where the car matches the description. Price reviews need a structured, genuine reason, and adjustment rates are tracked.
- Turn offers around promptly. Sellers are comparing live offers with expiry times, and a late number is a lost one.
- Handle the seller professionally. You only receive their contact details once they have chosen you.
- Hold a current motor vehicle trader licence for the state you operate in.
What it costs
Dealers pay to participate in the network. Sellers are never charged anything. Pricing depends on volume and coverage area — submit an enquiry and we’ll talk through what suits your operation.
Common questions from dealers
Do I see other dealers’ offers?
No, and neither do they see yours. There is no live bidding and no race to the top. Each offer is made on the car’s merits, and only the seller sees them together.
How many dealers price each car?
A limited number whose buying profile fits the vehicle, rather than everyone on the list. That keeps the competition genuine without flooding a seller with numbers that were never serious.
What if the car isn’t as described?
Then you review the price with a recorded reason, or walk away. The expectation is that offers stand where the car materially matches what was disclosed — not that they stand regardless.
Can I choose what I get sent?
Yes. Your buying profile covers makes, age, kilometres, price range and the area you can realistically inspect in. There is no point sending you cars you were never going to buy.
