At a glance: tell us what car you want. GRANT AUTO’s AI system works with partner dealers and mechanics to search public listings and off-market sources across Portugal. We send you suitable options to review. The service is free for buyers.

Why use a car search service?

Good cars sell quickly, and some never reach public listings. Searching on your own can mean dozens of adverts, phone calls and wasted journeys. Our service saves you time by sending only options that match your needs.

How it works

  1. Describe the car: budget, make, year, mileage, gearbox and region.
  2. We search public listings and off-market sources through our partner dealerships and dealers.
  3. You receive options with prices and photos to review.
  4. Before you buy, a mechanic can inspect your chosen car across at least 300 points, including computer diagnostics and a test drive, for 149 EUR (VAT included).

What does off-market mean?

These are cars that have not yet been publicly listed or are sold through professional contacts. Dealers and experienced automotive professionals have access to these opportunities.

Why is it free?

The car search is free for the buyer. You only pay for a mechanic’s inspection if you decide to book one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the car search cost?

It is free for buyers.

Am I obliged to buy?

No. You receive options and make your own decision.

How soon will I receive options?

It depends on your request. The more precise your description, the faster the search can be.
