Logistics & Transport

After confirmation of your payment, your vehicle will be shipped to the registered address anywhere in Australia.

Additionally, all vehicles come with a 6-month warranty for major defects or issues not disclosed at the time of sale.

Every vehicle is thoroughly inspected by licensed mechanics before listing.
