Job Description

Join an award-winning dealership with over 50 years of success!

Brendan Foot Supersite is a proud, family-owned automotive business representing some of the biggest and most trusted vehicle brands in New Zealand. We’re known for our great people, excellent service, and a commitment to doing things right.

We’re looking for an Used Vehicle Appraiser & Valuer to join our busy used vehicle team. This is
a key role in our sales process, helping our Sales Consultants and Sales Managers secure quality trade-ins through accurate, fair and commercially sound vehicle appraisals.

About the role

As our Used Vehicle Appraiser & Valuer, you’ll be responsible for assessing and valuing customer trade-ins across our busy dealership. You’ll work closely with our sales team to help support sales, provide timely and accurate valuations, and ensure every appraisal is completed with care, integrity and strong commercial judgement.

This role requires someone who understands the used vehicle market, knows what makes a vehicle
retail-ready, and can balance customer expectations with realistic market value, reconditioning costs and dealership profitability.

While the core focus of the role is trade-in appraisal and valuation, there will also be some used
vehicle buying involved, including identifying and sourcing quality vehicles where required to support stock flow. You’ll also play an important role in assessing reconditioning requirements and working with the wider team to ensure vehicles are prepared to the right standard for resale.

This is a hands-on Tuesday to Saturday role, suited to someone who enjoys being part of the sales
process, has strong used vehicle knowledge, and can make confident, commercially sound appraisal decisions.

Key responsibilities

• Appraise and value customer trade-ins accurately and efficiently
• Support Sales Consultants and Sales Managers during the trade-in and sales process
• Assess vehicle condition, market value, desirability, reconditioning requirements and likely retail potential
• Provide accurate and commercially sound valuation advice
• Help ensure trade-in valuations support both customer experience and business profitability
• Assist with sourcing and purchasing used vehicle stock where required
• Liaise with internal teams regarding reconditioning, preparation and stock readiness
• Maintain strong awareness of used vehicle market trends, demand, pricing and stock movement
• Build trusted working relationships across the sales, service, reconditioning and management teams
• Act with integrity and professionalism in every appraisal and customer interaction

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with proven used vehicle experience who knows the market and
understands what makes a good trade-in.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in used vehicle sales, appraisals, valuations or vehicle buying
• Strong understanding of used vehicle values, market trends and customer expectations
• Good knowledge of vehicle reconditioning requirements and costs
• Sound judgement and attention to detail when assessing vehicle condition
• A practical, honest and commercially minded approach
• Integrity, reliability and a strong work ethic
• Confidence working with Sales Consultants, Sales Managers and customers
• A helpful attitude and genuine enjoyment in assisting the sales process
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to work independently and make timely decisions
• A full New Zealand driver’s licence

Why join us?

• Be part of a supportive, experienced and high-performing used vehicle team
• Work with one of the region’s largest multi-franchise dealerships
• Play a key role in helping the sales team secure quality trade-ins and drive retail success
• Competitive remuneration and company drive car
• Tuesday to Saturday role
• Opportunity to make a real impact in a fast-moving, dynamic dealership environment

If you have strong used vehicle experience, know how to value trade-ins properly, and pride
yourself on being honest, hardworking and commercially sharp, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now with your CV and a cover letter telling us why you’d be the perfect fit for this role.
