Terms & Conditions
Last updated 19 October 2026
Welcome to the Powerhouse Performance Motors website. This website is operated by CDM Property Pty Ltd (ABN 28 689 051 545), trading as Powerhouse Performance Motors (“Powerhouse Performance Motors”, “we”, “us”, “our”). By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. We may change these terms at any time by updating this page, and the changes apply from the date shown above.
Our business
We sell performance, hobby and luxury vehicles from the Gold Coast, Queensland, and introduce customers to a finance partner. Our motor dealer licence number is shown in the footer of our website and on our advertising once issued.
Intellectual property
The design, text, logos, graphics and photographs on this website belong to us or are used with permission. You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, sell or modify our content without our written permission. Brand names and logos of vehicle manufacturers are the property of their owners and are shown only to describe the vehicles we sell. We are not affiliated with them.
Links to other websites
Our website may link to other websites for your convenience, including our finance partner. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control other websites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Vehicle information
- We take care to describe each vehicle accurately, but photos, descriptions, specifications, odometer readings and prices may contain errors or change without notice. Please confirm the details with us before you buy.
- Vehicles are used unless stated otherwise. Used vehicles show normal wear for their age and kilometres, and modified vehicles may have changes that affect insurance, registration, running costs and resale.
- We encourage every buyer to inspect the vehicle, take a test drive and arrange an independent inspection before purchase. Inspections and test drives are by appointment.
- Unless stated otherwise, advertised prices do not include stamp duty, registration, transfer fees and other government charges. A price marked “drive away” includes these.
- A vehicle is not reserved or sold until we have both signed a written contract of sale. Sending an enquiry, quote request or deposit request does not create a contract.
- Vehicles may be sold before we update this website.
Condition, modifications and use of vehicles
- Used and modified vehicles carry risk. Used vehicles wear, and parts can fail without warning. Performance, modified, imported and track-prepared vehicles are driven harder and are more likely to need repairs, specialist parts and servicing, and may cost more to insure and run. You accept these risks when you buy.
- Modifications. Some vehicles have aftermarket or non-standard parts. We describe known modifications where we are aware of them, but we cannot guarantee every part, tune or installation. You are responsible for checking that modifications are legal, certified, insured and suitable for your intended use.
- Your inspection. You are encouraged to inspect the vehicle and arrange an independent mechanical inspection, at your own cost, before you buy. If you choose not to, or you choose a limited inspection, you accept the condition of the vehicle as you found it, to the extent the law allows.
- Use after sale. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for faults, damage, loss or injury caused by: accidents; misuse or abuse; racing, track, drag, drift, off-road or competition use; modifications, tuning or repairs done after sale by anyone other than us; poor maintenance or failure to follow service intervals; running the vehicle after a warning light or fault appears; or fair wear and tear. Statutory warranty claims remain subject to the rules in the Motor Dealers and Chattel Auctioneers Act 2014 (Qld), including its exclusions.
- Safe operation. You are responsible for driving the vehicle lawfully and safely, holding the correct licence, and keeping it registered, insured and roadworthy. Fines, tolls and penalties from the time you take possession are yours.
Test drives and inspections
- You must hold a current, valid driver licence for the vehicle class and show it before a test drive. We may keep a copy.
- Test drives are at our discretion, are accompanied unless we agree otherwise, and may be refused or ended at any time.
- You are responsible for any traffic fines, tolls, and damage caused by your driving, up to the amount of any excess under our insurance policy and any amount our insurer does not cover. You must follow our directions and the road rules.
- You attend inspections and test drives at your own risk, and we are not responsible for injury or loss to you or your passengers, except where the law does not allow us to exclude it.
Finance
- Our finance calculator and weekly repayment figures are estimates only. They are not an offer, quote, approval or credit advice. Real rates, fees, repayments and eligibility are set by the lender after it assesses your application.
- Finance is subject to lender approval and criteria. We introduce customers to our finance partner, A Lend Finance, a credit representative (number 568862) of Rivercity Finance Pty Ltd (Australian Credit Licence 539918). We do not provide credit advice. See our Finance information page.
- “Same-day approval” applies to complete applications received during business hours and is subject to lender criteria and verification. It is not guaranteed.
- Any decision to borrow is yours. Make sure you can afford the repayments. Borrowing costs depend on your circumstances.
- We are not responsible if a lender declines, delays, changes or withdraws finance, or for the terms a lender offers. We do not guarantee that you will be approved, or the rate or amount you will receive.
Delivery
- We can arrange delivery Australia-wide through third-party transport providers. Delivery times are estimates, and delays can occur because of weather, road conditions, carrier availability and other causes outside our control.
- You must give us accurate delivery details and be available, or have an authorised person available, to receive and inspect the vehicle.
- The cost of delivery and who carries the risk during transport will be set out in your written contract of sale. Unless that contract says otherwise, we arrange transport as your agent, and transport providers are independent of us.
- You must inspect the vehicle when it arrives and note any damage on the carrier’s paperwork before signing. Transport damage claims are made against the carrier and its insurance. Tell us within 24 hours of delivery so we can help you lodge a claim.
- Registration and roadworthy requirements depend on the state or territory where the vehicle will be registered. Please check them before buying.
Merchandise
Orders for stickers, banners and clothing are accepted when we confirm them. Prices include GST. We will contact you to arrange payment. If an item is faulty, you have rights under the Australian Consumer Law (see below).
Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Dealers in Queensland also have obligations under the Motor Dealers and Chattel Auctioneers Act 2014 (Qld), including statutory warranties and cooling-off rights for many used-vehicle sales. Nothing in these terms limits those rights.
Limits on our liability
To the maximum extent the law allows:
- we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, income, business, opportunity, use or enjoyment, hire or substitute vehicle costs, towing, storage, travel or accommodation costs, or any loss that was not reasonably foreseeable;
- we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website or from reliance on its content, including errors, omissions, interruptions, viruses or unavailability, which we provide “as is”;
- we are not liable for the acts or omissions of third parties, including lenders, transport providers, inspectors, insurers, workshops and other businesses;
- we are not liable for any event outside our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, strikes, supply or transport disruption, government action, and failures of internet, power or telecommunications services; and
- where our liability cannot be excluded, it is limited, where the law allows, to resupplying the goods or services, or paying the cost of having them resupplied or repaired, or the price you paid, whichever is the lesser amount.
What these terms cannot do. Australian law gives buyers guarantees and rights that no business can remove, including the consumer guarantees in the Australian Consumer Law and the statutory warranty and cooling-off rights under the Motor Dealers and Chattel Auctioneers Act 2014 (Qld). Any term in these terms that tried to remove them would not be enforceable. Everything above applies only so far as the law permits, and we do not intend it to take away those rights.
Your responsibilities and indemnity
You agree to give us accurate information, to use the website lawfully, and not to submit false enquiries. To the maximum extent the law allows, you will compensate us for any loss, cost or claim (including reasonable legal costs) that we suffer because of your breach of these terms, your misuse of a vehicle, or any claim by a third party arising from your use of a vehicle after you take possession.
Contract of sale prevails
These terms and the content of this website are general information. They are not an offer to sell. If there is a conflict between these terms and a written contract of sale we sign with you, the contract of sale prevails. No employee or representative can change these terms or promise anything about a vehicle unless it is written in the signed contract of sale.
Privacy
We collect and handle your personal information as described in our Privacy Policy and Privacy Consent. By using the website you accept them.
General
- Severability. If any part of these terms is invalid, the rest continues to apply.
- No waiver. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we have not given it up.
- Ending these terms. We may suspend or end your access at any time. Rights and obligations that have already arisen continue.
- Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Both of us submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.
