About Us

Born & bred in Christchurch, I grew up on my fathers dealership "Cooper Henderson Motors" so I guess it was in the blood!! I trained as a Marine fitter and turner, and after the big OE, I returned to Auckland and opened a small retail dealership in 1997. 15 years later I could see the writing was on the wall for small independent retailers, so I joined the Miles Group at Newmarket Nissan, and a year later I was transfered to Christchurch to join Miles Toyota as Sales Manager. It was a great experience being with Toyota & the Miles group, however, three years on the Auckland lights were calling so I moved back and joined Sime Darby as Divisional Manager with Jerry Clayton BMW; another great experience and a steep learning curve.

After leaving Jerry Clayton BMW I was a bit disillusioned with the motor industry and thought "there must be a better way" for the public to buy good quality second hand vehicles. Long story short, I was right and here I am today with hundreds of happy customers who have enjoyed buying one of my vehicles through an on-line auction.

My business mission statement is "keep it simple, be transparent and do it right first time" and in keeping to those principles, I have proven this is a great way to buy your next vehicle. There is no doubt in life you reap what you sow.

1 DOLLAR RESERVE CARS

For some people the thought of buying a vehicle online in one Dollar reserve auction is madness. However, in my experience it is quite the opposite.

VIEWING & TEST DRIVING

I encourage every customer to view and test drive before bidding. That way, you can be sure that the car is as described and right for you.
