🚙 About Us

Cars24 is Australia’s largest online used car retailer — and we’re redefining the way Australians buy and sell their vehicles. With a seamless digital experience and nationwide presence, we’ve already delivered over US$1B in car sales globally, and we’re just getting started in Australia.

Our Private Buying Team is at the heart of this transformation — acquiring vehicles directly from individual sellers and fueling our growing retail and wholesale operations. We’re looking for experienced and motivated car buyers who know how to combine valuation expertise, customer empathy, and commercial acumen to close quality deals every day.

🔧 The Role & What You’ll Do

Your key responsibilities:

- Source and acquire vehicles directly from private sellers, ensuring a steady and high-quality pipeline of inventory.

- Conduct detailed inspections and valuations to ensure accurate offers and maintain acquisition standards.

- Negotiate confidently with private sellers to secure vehicles at the right price while ensuring a great customer experience.

- Collaborate closely with our sourcing, logistics, and operations teams to ensure smooth vehicle movement and handovers.

- Monitor local market trends and pricing data to identify sourcing opportunities and maintain competitive acquisition pricing.

- Build lasting relationships with customers, turning one-time sellers into repeat brand advocates.

- Maintain accurate digital records for all purchases and ensure compliance with Cars24 processes and standards.

You’re a motivated automotive professional who understands what drives both customers and markets. You combine technical knowledge with sales instincts and thrive on achieving targets through great conversations and fair deals.

You’ll bring:

- Proven experience in vehicle purchasing, retail car buying, or dealership acquisitions.

- Strong understanding of vehicle models, condition assessment, and market value dynamics.

- Excellent negotiation and communication skills, with the ability to build trust quickly.

- A data-driven mindset, able to interpret pricing and market trends to guide buying decisions.

- High attention to detail, accuracy in vehicle documentation, and operational discipline.

- A current, valid driver’s license and passion for cars.

What We Offer

- Competitive base salary + Super + Uncapped Commissions — your effort directly drives your income.

- Career progression opportunities — grow into regional leadership or wholesale trading roles.

- Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for wellbeing and support.

- Dynamic, collaborative culture with high-performance teams who love what they do.

- Be part of a ground-up growth story shaping the future of used car sourcing in Australia.

🌏 Why Join Cars24?
