How DealDrive Works
We've rebuilt the car buying experience from the ground up. Here's everything that happens behind the scenes.
Tell us exactly what you want
Use our 3-minute search form to describe your ideal new car. You can either specify an exact make and model (e.g., 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in Celestite) or describe your criteria (SUV, hybrid, under $60k, must have a tow bar).
You also choose how wide to cast the net — within 50km of you, your entire state, or all of Australia. The wider the search, the more competitive the results.
AI contacts up to 14 dealers immediately
The moment you submit, our AI scans our database of Australian dealerships and identifies all relevant dealers matching your make/criteria within your location criteria.
Each dealer receives a professional email from our AI buying agent. The email makes it clear that competing dealers are being contacted simultaneously and that the buyer is ready to purchase — creating real urgency and competition.
AI negotiates over 7 days
As dealers reply with quotes, our AI analyses every response — extracting the exact driveaway price, what's included, and delivery timeframes. If a dealer's first offer is high, the AI sends a counter-offer reminding them of the competition.
Your dashboard updates in real-time as offers come in. You'll see an anonymised view — "Dealer in Northern Sydney quoted a competitive price" — so you can see progress without spoiling the reveal.
We select the best deal
After 7 days (or sooner if we have 3+ strong offers), our AI compares all driveaway quotes — total out-the-door price, inclusions, delivery time, and dealer reputation — and selects the winner.
You receive an email notification: "We found your best deal." The email shows your estimated saving but keeps the dealer details hidden.
Pay $99 — reveal everything instantly
Pay the $99 AUD flat fee and instantly unlock the full details: dealer name, address, direct contact name, exact driveaway price breakdown, all extras included, and estimated delivery date.
