Peace of Mind

The last thing we want is you feeling nervous about a car you drive off our premises. Instead of worrying that you’ll be breaking down within a week, we want to leave you with peace of mind to relax and enjoy what you’re driving. That’s why we emphasise on inspections and quality standards.


It’s not just any car that leaves our lots. We take the time to check every vehicle and do our due diligence to make sure it’s in top shape. Our technicians and the inspectors that work with us take pride in making sure you’re not getting a rotten deal. We are a used car dealer with a reputation for quality, and we want to keep it that way.

What Is Certified Pre-Owned?

A certified pre-owned car, or a CPO for short, is a used car that meets rigorous quality standards. This certification is available through the Motor Vehicle Registry based on standards set by the manufacturers.



Some things vary a little between manufacturers, but standards for CPOs are high. Most certified pre-owned cars should be less than 5 to 7 years old, should not have been involved in an accident and should not have driven too many kilometres.


The process of getting a car certified takes 2 steps. First, we check it over and get it fully tested to see if it meets the manufacturer’s standards. Manufacturers provide a thorough mechanical inspection for every make and model. Then, we send in the results of all our tests and the full-service history to the manufacturer and have them officially certify the car.


Unlike other used cars, certified pre-owned cars usually come with a factory warranty and a full-service history. We’re proud to offer certified pre-owned vehicles at affordable prices.



Used Cars & 4WDs

Different people need different vehicles. Whatever car your lifestyle demands, look for it first at Dave’s Used Cars! We offer used sedans, sports cars, 4WDs, SUVs and more. Reliable brands like Nissan and Toyota sit next to stunners such as Jaguar and Mazda. It all depends on what we’ve got in stock.


Look for the perfect car that ticks all your boxes. We’ve got something to match your priorities. Whether it’s fuel economy, space, off-road power or speed, we’ll help you find what’s right for you.


If we don’t have the right car on our lot now, we’ll do our best to find what you’re looking for. We can do some searching to source the car you want when it’s not already there. All you have to do is ask!

Reasonable Buying & Selling Prices

You already know what you can spend. When you take into account the cost of the car, the insurance, registration and other expenses, you’ve got your budget. We’re going to get you behind the wheel of the right used car at the right price. Even though we offer great deals, we encourage you to do your own research as well. If you’ve got an idea of the kind of car you want, look it up and see what it’s sold for around the country. The last thing you want is to overpay.


We offer fair prices for cars that match their market value, taking all things into consideration from their condition to their features. You should be satisfied with the price we’re selling at, or else we haven’t done our job right! Because we also offer trade-in service and purchase used cars from you, we offer reasonable prices that match the car’s value. You won’t be ripped off for the price you should be getting on your vehicle.

The Right Car at the Right Price

It’s not just about used car sales. It’s about selling the right cars to the right people at the right price. Not every car is perfect for everyone, and each person’s budget is their top concern. We love being the matchmakers that get you behind the wheel of a used car you can really appreciate!
