Q1. What is DiscountMyNewCar.com.au (DMNC)?
DMNC is an automated website that provides you (individual or business) with a highly competitive and effective automated service for getting the lowest price on your next brand new motor vehicle. You can save $$$$ thousands off the price without having to 'haggle & run around'. The unique 'anonymous shopper' feature means you only need to talk to the dealer who provides the lowest price; this drives highly competitive pricing amongst the quoting dealers.
DMNC can also be used to check and compare the price you already have from another dealer to help you make sure you
really do have the best deal or not.
It is all done automatically and totally removes the time consuming mental and emotion stress commonly associated with hard sell negotiating for the lowest price on a NEW motor vehicle.

Q8. Why does DiscountMyNewCar.com.au work?
- We have carefully selected very competitive motor vehicle dealers to become members of our Preferred Dealer Network and created a very competitive system where the dealers must provide their LOWEST price in order to win your business.
- The DMNC online platform allows you to send anonymous quote requests to several competing dealers for the vehicle you wish to purchase. Because ONLY the lowest priced motor vehicle dealer gets your contact details the dealers MUST be very competitive in their pricing.
- DMNC's unique instant reporting system constantly lets the losing dealers know on average how far they were from the lowest price on previously lost quotes; this drives further competition between dealers on future quotes.
- Using the DMNC web site means you have decided on the make & model of the vehicle you want to own and are ready to purchase and dealers see this as an opportunity to sell a motor vehicle quickly and easily without the usual time, effort and uncertainty involved in negotiating the sale of a motor vehicle.
- Dealers also realise that they are likely to sell a motor vehicle they otherwise may not have had a chance to sell and can therefore justify bigger discounts - and that means that you save even more money.
Q9. What are the benefits of using DiscountMyNewCar.com.au?
You can get the lowest price on your next NEW motor vehicle from one of several highly competitive dealers without having to haggle and run around from dealer to dealer.
Buying a new car has often been described like 'falling from the top of a tree' you will eventually get to the bottom; it's just a matter of how battered and bruised you become along the way.
The truth is that if you run around from dealer to dealer, get a price here & there, haggle back n' forward then play them all against each other - 4 weekends, 3 screaming kids, 2 migraines and a tank of fuel later you will get a good price or you can use DMNC get the lowest price automatically for you.
Q10. By using DiscountMyNewCar.com.au am I committed to purchase?
This site is for serious buyers who have decided on the particular vehicle they would like to own and are ready to buy, however DMNC is 100% OBLIGATION FREE.
Q11. Do I have to provide photos of my trade-in?
No you don't have to provide photos of your trade-in motor vehicle; motor vehicle dealers will still get your description of your trade-in vehicle. However in all cases it would be a great benefit to provide photos because it gives the dealer a much better idea of how much the vehicle is worth and what he is prepared to pay for it.
Dealers will always pay more for a car they have seen over one they haven't. We have included sample photos of a trade-in vehicle from 5 angles and we recommend that you provide similar photos.
Q12. What happens if no dealers respond to my Quote Request?
If no dealers respond to your Quote Request this may be for a number of reasons, firstly your distance to send quote requests to may be too short and not enough dealers have received your Quote Request, you will then be asked to increase your travel distance and submit your Quote Request again. You will
not be charged to resubmit your quote request.
If you submit your Quote Request and have selected the maximum distance to send quote requests to and have had no responses from dealers your Quote Request Fee will be refunded to you automatically. Not receiving dealer responses may have occurred for reasons relating to your preferred colour choices
&/or your factory option selections
&/or your required time frame. You will have the option to change any of these combinations and try resubmitting your quote request.
Q13. What happens if the dealer in any way misrepresents the lowest price?
In the unlikely event that a dealer misrepresents a quote you can submit a 'Second Chance Offer' to the other dealers who missed out on providing the lowest price. Submitting a second chance offer to the non-lowest dealers provides those dealers a second chance to match and accept the lowest price. The second chance offer can only be accepted by the dealer who accepts it first; it will not be available to the other dealers. Once a dealer accepts the 'Second Chance Offer' your details are also exchanged with that dealer. The submission of a 'Second Chance Offer' against a dealer quote also notifies that dealer by email of your reason for submitting the '2nd Chance Offer' against his quote. We recommend that unless you are genuinely dissatisfied with the lowest priced dealer then a 'Second Chance Offer' should not be submitted.
Q14. What happens after details have been exchanged?
After your details are exchanged with the lowest price dealer you may contact the dealer first or you may wait until the dealer contacts you to confirm your motor vehicle requirements. The dealer will then assist you in the purchase of your new motor vehicle.
Q15. What happens to the information gathered about me?
We only ask for your full name, valid email address, connected mobile number, suburb, state and postcode. No other details are required (except for business & associations). Your details are only kept and used by DMNC to fulfill your request to use the services provided by DMNC. Your details will never be disclosed to or used by any other party apart from dealers whom have provided the lowest price to your quote request or have accepted a second chance offer submitted by you. DMNC may from time to time use your details to send you our news letter or SMS alerts on future promotions or offers.
Q16. Who has access to my details?
Your details and quote information are password protected and can only be accessed by the Dealer who provided the lowest price or the dealer who has accepted a second chance offer submitted by you. DMNC may contact some of it's users from time for the purposes of improving the services which we provide and to gather statistical information for the benefit of its users. If you do not wish to be contacted by DMNC you can notify DMNC in writing using the 'Contact Us' email facility.
