About us

Our Mission: To level the playing field in the car buying and selling process.

Fat Cat Car Auctions was created after a thorough analysis of the traditional car buying process. Typically, we visit a dealership, trade in our old car, add some cash (via financing or savings), and drive away in a new vehicle. While this process is quick and efficient, it often favours the dealer, leaving us with less value for our trade-in and paying a premium for the new car.

At Fat Cat Car Auctions, we recognise that the current system allows dealers to exploit the process to their advantage. They buy your cherished, well-maintained car for a fraction of its value and sell you a new one at a significant markup, earning commissions on financing and warranties along the way. This dynamic leaves consumers feeling manipulated and shortchanged.

Advertising your car online may seem like an alternative, but it comes with its own set of challenges. You face lowball offers from small-time dealers, the inconvenience of weekend appointments with uninterested buyers, and the frustration of dealing with online car buying sites that undervalue your car once they have you in their office. Auctions can be intimidating, and hidden fees, small-time dealers, and fluctuating offers further complicate the process.

We offer a solution: a consumer-to-consumer online auction platform that ensures you receive the current market value for your car. With Fat Cat Car Auctions, there are no hidden fees, no time-wasting negotiations, and a secure, friendly environment for buying and selling cars. By providing you with the same tools that car dealers use, we eliminate the need for traditional dealerships and empower you to become your own "fat cat" car dealer.
