About the dealership
Gardner Cars began in 1984 in Christchurch, New Zealand, where the founding family sold their first car from a modest lot. After the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 the family relocated to the Gold Coast, opening a yard on Ferry Road before moving to 30 Junction Rd, Burleigh Heads in 2015. In 2017 the business added a Dover Drive site and launched Gardner Mods, bringing mechanics and detailers in house. The dealership describes itself as family-owned and operated with expertise in commercial and 4x4 vehicles.

Worth knowing before you go
The listing is narrow by design, weighted to utes, 4x4s and vans rather than passenger cars, so buyers after a small hatch or sedan will find little here. Odometer readings vary widely, with plenty of stock beyond 100,000 km, so check service history and remaining factory cover on individual vehicles. Pricing is advertised excluding government charges, so add stamp duty and registration to the listed figure. Warranty terms are not published on the website, so confirm what cover applies before you commit.
