The Benefits of Buying a Used Car from a Licensed Dealer

The Benefits of Buying a Used Car from a Licensed Dealer

Posted by: AR Autos Perth | Vehicle Buying Advice

When it comes to buying a car, many Australians debate whether to buy from a private seller or a licensed dealership. While private sales might seem cheaper upfront, they often come with hidden risks that can cost more in the long run.

At AR Autos Perth, we believe transparency, peace of mind, and long-term value are essential to a great car-buying experience. Here’s why buying from a licensed dealer is the smarter move.

1. Legal Protection & Consumer Rights

When you buy from a licensed motor vehicle dealer in WA, you are protected by Australian Consumer Law. That means you’re entitled to:

• Statutory warranties (if applicable)

• Full disclosure about the vehicle's history

• A cooling-off period in some finance agreements

• Guaranteed clear title (no money owed on the car)

In contrast, private sellers aren’t legally required to offer the same protections.

2. Vehicle History & PPSR Checks

At AR Autos, every vehicle comes with a PPSR certificate showing:

• No written-off status

• No finance owing

• Registration details

• Previous theft records

We do the due diligence so you don’t have to worry.

3. Mechanical Inspection & Condition

All our vehicles go through a thorough mechanical inspection before they’re listed for sale. That includes:

• Engine and transmission checks

• Brake and tyre condition

• Safety features and electrical systems

Unlike private sellers, we stand by the condition of the cars we sell.

4. Warranty Options Available

Many of our vehicles are eligible for dealer-backed warranties and extended warranty plans. This means you have ongoing protection well after you’ve driven away.

We even offer free warranty coverage with selected vehicles, giving you added peace of mind.

5. Trade-In, Finance, and Transfer Support

We make the process easy:

• Accept trade-ins on the spot

• Offer competitive finance options

• Handle all rego transfers and paperwork

With us, it’s one visit, one team, one smooth experience.
