Red Plum Automotive

The short version

About the dealership

Red Plum Automotive is a national vehicle broker holding its own dealer's licence, based in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Rather than holding a showroom of stock, it sources new and pre-loved vehicles through dealer networks on behalf of individual buyers, describing its role as an independent third party between the buyer and the dealer. The business was established in 2012 by a former prestige motor sales manager with 15 years' industry experience across brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and now operates Australia-wide.

Why a buyer might visit

• Acts as an independent negotiator between the buyer and the selling dealer
• Sources both new and pre-loved vehicles, not limited to one brand
• Background in prestige and luxury brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz
• Offers a trade-in valuation as part of the buying process
• Connects buyers to a preferred panel of financiers for competitive finance

Who may want to visit

• Buyers who want an independent negotiator handling the dealer process
• Prestige and luxury car buyers
• Buyers with a trade-in to value
• Buyers wanting guidance connecting to a financier
• Time-poor buyers who'd rather not deal with dealerships directly

Worth knowing before you go

Red Plum Automotive does not hold its own vehicle stock or showroom — it sources each car to the buyer's brief. The website states there is no direct cost to the buyer, with a flat, pre-negotiated fee instead paid by the successful selling dealer. Its preferred financier panel isn't published on the site; buyers need to ask directly for the current list.
