Phil's Instant Offer Terms & Conditions

​

What is Phil’s Instant Offer?

Phil’s Instant Offer is an invitation by Phil Buys Cars to you for you to sell your vehicle to us.  If you qualify as a seller and meet certain conditions (like passing a vehicle inspection – see below) we will invite you to sell your vehicle to us.   

​

A purchase agreement to sell your car to us will be issued and, until that agreement is signed, there is no obligation for you to sell, or for Phil Buys Cars to buy, your vehicle.

 

Seller qualification for the use of Phil’s Instant Offer program

In order to be qualified to sell a vehicle using Phil’s Instant Offer program (Program), the seller must:

  • be 18 years or older; and

  • be the registered owner of the vehicle being sold or an authorised representative of the owner.

 

A seller may not be considered a qualified seller if they:

  • hold a motor vehicle dealer license or are required to hold a motor vehicle dealer license;

  • are not private sellers.  An example of a person who is not a private seller is a person who is in the business of renting or selling vehicles or using vehicles for commercial purposes ;

  • are selling a vehicle that in Phil Buys Cars reasonable assessment does not qualify for the Program. This may include vehicles where insufficient pricing data is available to Phil Buys Cars to make an Instant Offer or where we are unable to reasonably predict the cost of certain reconditioning works.

Vehicle Condition

  • Upon physical inspection appointment, your vehicle’s condition will be inspected and compared to the information regarding the condition of the vehicle provided by you during the online offer process. Where the vehicle’s condition does not match the information provided, your offer will be adjusted accordingly.

 

Vehicle Specification Errors

  • From time to time, due to errors or insufficient data in 3rd party registration data and vehicle specification data, errors may occur in matching your vehicle registration to your actual vehicle specification, and therefore incorrect offers may be presented during the online offer process.

  • During the inspection appointment, these details will be validated using your vehicle’s build plate details, compliance plate details, and other compliance checks.

  • Your vehicle specification and offer may be corrected to reflect the validated details determined during the physical inspection, where applicable.

Payment & Transfer
