AussieMotor.com.au is an online automotive marketplace for Australia. We provide a platform that helps users browse, compare, advertise, and enquire about vehicles.

Our services may include:

• used vehicle listings

Unless clearly stated otherwise, AussieMotor is not the owner, seller, buyer, dealer, broker, agent, insurer, finance provider, mechanic, inspector, or legal representative of any vehicle listed on the platform.

AussieMotor provides the marketplace platform. Any vehicle sale, purchase, inspection, finance arrangement, insurance arrangement, transfer, registration, warranty, or after-sale matter is between the relevant buyer, seller, dealer, or third-party provider.

You must use AussieMotor only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we may update the “Effective Date” or “Last Reviewed” date shown on this page. Your continued use of AussieMotor after updated Terms are published means you accept the updated Terms.

Users and dealers may be able to create and manage vehicle listings on AussieMotor.

When posting or managing a listing, you agree that:

• you have the legal right or authority to advertise the vehicle

• the listing information is accurate, complete, current, and not misleading

• the vehicle price, condition, mileage, year, images, location, variant, specifications, and availability are correct to the best of your knowledge

• you will not post fake, duplicate, stolen, illegal, expired, unavailable, or misleading listings

• you will update or remove a listing when the vehicle is sold, unavailable, withdrawn, or materially changed

• you will not use misleading pricing, bait advertising, false discounts, or deceptive claims

The Australian Consumer Law prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct and false or misleading claims. The ACCC states that online businesses must not make false or misleading claims on their own website, social media, or other platforms.  

AussieMotor may review, moderate, edit, hide, reject, suspend, or remove listings at any time if we reasonably believe they breach these Terms, our policies, applicable laws, or platform quality standards.

We do not guarantee that any listing is accurate, genuine, complete, available, or suitable for purchase.

AussieMotor helps buyers, sellers, and dealers connect. We are not responsible for completing or guaranteeing any transaction between users.

Buyers should make their own enquiries before purchasing a vehicle. This may include:

• physically inspecting the vehicle

• arranging an independent mechanical inspection

• checking the Personal Property Securities Register where appropriate

• verifying ownership, registration, roadworthy status, finance status, written-off status, odometer history, service history, and identity of the seller

• confirming price, fees, transfer costs, stamp duty, registration, warranty, and any other charges

• obtaining independent legal, financial, insurance, or mechanical advice where needed

Sellers and dealers are responsible for providing accurate information and complying with all laws that apply to their sale or advertisement.

Private sales and dealer sales may involve different rights and obligations. The ACCC notes that many consumer guarantees do not apply to products sold by private sellers, while businesses selling products or services to consumers must comply with the Australian Consumer Law.  

AussieMotor is not responsible for disputes, losses, defects, payment issues, misrepresentations, transfer delays, finance issues, warranty issues, vehicle condition, or after-sale matters between buyers, sellers, dealers, or third-party providers.

Dealers may be able to create dealer profiles, publish inventory, receive leads, manage enquiries, and use dealer dashboard tools.

Dealers agree to:

• provide accurate business and contact information

• advertise only vehicles they are authorised to sell

• keep inventory and pricing up to date

• avoid misleading, deceptive, or bait advertising

• comply with applicable licensing, motor dealer, consumer, privacy, advertising, tax, and fair trading obligations

• respond to enquiries professionally

• honour any representations they make to users

• remove or update listings that are sold, unavailable, or materially changed

AussieMotor may verify dealer information, request supporting documentation, restrict dealer tools, suspend dealer accounts, remove listings, or refuse dealer access where reasonably necessary.

Dealer listing visibility, ranking, leads, analytics, badges, and promotional placement may depend on package type, listing quality, market rules, moderation status, user behaviour, availability, and platform algorithms.

Vehicle prices displayed on AussieMotor are provided by sellers, dealers, or relevant data sources. Prices may change without notice.

Unless clearly stated otherwise, vehicle prices may exclude:

You must not make misleading claims about prices, discounts, savings, comparisons, or promotions. Australia has strict rules against misleading pricing and discount representations.  

Unless otherwise stated, paid promotional services are for advertising placement or platform visibility only. We do not guarantee enquiries, sales, ranking, traffic, or revenue.

Suggested links: [Featured Ads Policy], [Dealer Packages], [Refund Policy]

If AussieMotor charges for a service, any refund rights will depend on the service purchased, the circumstances, these Terms, and any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in these Terms limits consumer guarantees, rights, or remedies that cannot be excluded under Australian law. The ACCC explains that businesses must meet consumer guarantees when they sell products or services to consumers.  

Subject to any non-excludable rights, fees for paid advertising, featured listings, dealer packages, or promotional services may be non-refundable once the service has commenced, been delivered, or been made available.

Refund requests should be submitted through [Contact Support] with relevant account, payment, listing, and service details.
