About Us
Welcome to Australis Motors, your trusted destination for quality used cars across Australia. With a passion for delivering exceptional customer service, we are dedicated to helping our clients find the perfect vehicle for every journey.
Who We Are
At Australis Motors, we pride ourselves on our reputation for honesty, reliability, and transparency. As a locally owned and operated business, we understand the importance of providing vehicles that meet the unique needs of Australians. Australis Motors was born out of a simple idea: to make car buying a transparent, reliable, and customer-focused experience. Our journey began when our founder, Bunji Henry, noticed a gap in the market for high-quality used cars and flexible rentals that people could trust. After years of witnessing customers struggle with unclear pricing, unreliable vehicles, and impersonal service, Bunji Henry set out to build a dealership that was different.
In 2013, Australis Motors opened its doors with a commitment to integrity and transparency. Starting as a small, locally-run dealership, we aimed to deliver a better way to buy cars. From day one, our goal was clear: treat customers with respect, offer quality vehicles, and build lasting relationships based on trust. What began as a humble family-owned business has grown into one of Australia’s most trusted names in the automotive industry. Over the years, we’ve expanded our offerings and developed a reputation for providing reliable used cars. Our strong values of honesty, transparency, and exceptional customer care have remained at the core of our business.
While we’ve grown, our mission hasn’t changed. At Australis Motors, we continue to uphold the principles that guided us from the start—delivering vehicles you can depend on, with service you can trust. Every car we sell is a reflection of our commitment to quality, and every customer we serve is treated like family.
Today, we’re proud to be a part of the journeys of countless Australians. From first-time buyers to seasoned drivers, we are honoured to be the trusted partner that helps people get where they need to go.
Dealership-Owned Inventory
Approximately 80% of the vehicles you see on our website are owned directly by Australis Motors. This means that we have purchased these vehicles outright and have them in our possession. We take full responsibility for:
- Inspection and Reconditioning: Each dealership-owned vehicle undergoes a thorough inspection and reconditioning process to ensure it meets our high standards of quality and reliability.
- Pricing: The pricing for these vehicles is set by us, reflecting our commitment to providing competitive and fair pricing for our customers.
- Sales and Paperwork: From start to finish, we handle the entire sales process, including all associated paperwork, financing options, and title transfers.
Consignment and Third-Party Listings
The remaining 20% of our inventory consists of vehicles from other sellers. These are listed through our dealership on a consignment basis. For these vehicles, we manage the sale process, including:
- Marketing and Listing: We showcase these vehicles on our website and handle all aspects of their promotion.
- Sale Processing: Australis Motors takes care of the transaction process, including the necessary paperwork, title transfer, and other administrative tasks.
- Terms and Conditions: Even though these vehicles are not owned by us, all sales fall under our standard terms and conditions. This ensures that you receive the same level of service and transparency as you would with our inventory.
