Taxes, registration and transfer fees vary by country and region, so we list them in writing before you agree to buy. Stock changes every week, so call to check a car is still here before you travel.
The 120 point check, in plain words
Our own technicians inspect each car on a lift before it is priced. These are the areas that matter most, and what happens when a car falls short.
| Area | What we look at | If it falls short |
|---|---|---|
| Engine and gearbox | Leaks, noises, warning lights and a 15 km road test | Repaired, or the car is not sold |
| Brakes | Pads, discs and fluid, measured rather than guessed | Replaced below half their life |
| Tyres | Tread depth, age and a matching pair on each axle | Replaced below 3 mm of tread |
| Body and paint | Panel gaps, paint depth and signs of earlier repairs | Repaired and noted on the report |
| History | Recorded owners, mileage records and any written off status where records exist | Car turned away if anything does not add up |
| Electrics | Lights, windows, air conditioning, screens and every key | Fixed before the car goes on sale |
The signed inspection report stays with the car, and you can read it before your test drive.
Part exchange, valued while you test drive
Bring your current car when you visit and our buyer values it while you are out on the road. You get the figure in writing, it holds for seven days, and it comes straight off the price of the car you choose.
Most ages and conditions are welcome. A scraped bumper or a warning light still leaves a car with value, and we show you how each fault changed the figure instead of giving a number with no reasons.
- Written valuation in about 20 minutes
- Figure held for seven days
- Cars bought outright too, with nothing to buy in return
- Paperwork for the change of owner handled for you
How buying a car works here
Every sale is agreed in person at the showroom, after you have seen the car and driven it. Nothing is bought online.
Pick a car
Browse the stock above and send a question about any car that catches your eye.
Test drive it
Spend about 30 minutes on town roads and the highway, with a salesperson beside you.
Agree the price
Read the inspection report, then settle the price less any part exchange, face to face.
Drive away
Collect the car valeted, with a full tank, both keys and the paperwork done.
Around the forecourt
From the inspection bay to the moment the keys change hands.
Buyers on Summit Motors (example reviews)
The salesperson pointed out a repaired scratch on the rear door before we had even noticed it. That honesty is why we bought the estate here and not across town.
Our old hatchback was valued during the test drive, and the written figure was exactly what came off the final price a few days later.
A first car for our daughter, checked properly, with new brakes and a clear report. The handover took ten minutes and she drove home on a full tank.
Questions buyers ask
Can we buy a car online?
No. Every sale is agreed in person at the showroom, after you have seen the car, driven it and read its inspection report. The website is for browsing, booking test drives and asking questions.
Do you offer finance?
Our sales team explains the options in person at the showroom. Consumer credit rules vary by country, so we go through what applies to you face to face rather than online.
Can a car be held for us?
Yes. After a test drive we can hold a car for 48 hours with a refundable $250 holding deposit, which comes off the price if you go ahead.
What does the warranty cover?
Our 3 month warranty covers the engine, the gearbox and the main electrical parts. It sits alongside any consumer rights you have by law, which vary by country.
Can our own mechanic look at the car?
Of course. Arrange a time and bring your mechanic to the forecourt, or we can drive the car to a garage within 15 km of the showroom.
Do you deliver cars?
Yes, within 80 km of the showroom for $90, once the sale has been agreed in person.
Book a test drive or ask about a car
Choose the car, pick a day and tell us whether you have a car to part exchange. We reply within two working hours during showroom hours to confirm the time, and the car is ready and waiting when you arrive.
- A driving licence is needed for every test drive
- No sale is ever agreed online
- Part exchange valued on the same visit
