Simple car buying from trusted sellers

Thanks for visiting Need A Car – the easiest way to purchase vehicles direct from dealers. This quick tutorial will run you through some of the tools we've designed to help you find vehicles easier.

A search like no other

With over 30 different search parameters including colour, fuel economy and safety features, our comprehensive search will allow you to find the exact vehicle you’re looking for.

Matching people to cars

Not quite sure what vehicle suits you? Try our lifestyle search to tell us a bit about your current situation and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Video & 360 photos

Get in-depth knowledge of a vehicle with dealer videos and 360 degree photos. Look for these two symbols when viewing vehicles to get started.

Amazing dealer offers

We've asked dealers to give us their best promotional offers on their vehicles. Look for the green ‘offer’ badge for specific deals, but hurry as offers are for a limited time only.

The power of love

‘Favourite’ any vehicle you might be interested in (just click the heart icon) and we’ll automatically email you if that vehicle has its price dropped or a dealer adds an offer to it. Easy eh!

Register for FREE

To take advantage of all these features simply register an account with us — it takes less than a minute.
