Who are we?
Almost 1 in 2 used cars sold by dealers develop a fault within a year. There’s little advice out there on how to avoid it—especially for non-car people.
Roger started Secondhand Hero to tell it like it is and help buyers without the hidden agenda. In 2017, he bought a lemon that cost him $14,000. Since then, he’s obsessed with what makes a used car worth owning—and helped dozens of buyers find proven reliable cars. He holds a Master of Engineering from UNSW.

How We Help Our Clients
“I heard complaints about bogus dealerships and private sellers. In the end I got the best deal, low kms, smooth performance and best price, that Roger duly inspected with a checklist.”
Vishal - 2015 Hyundai i30 - $13,250
“On my own I would've spent six weeks scrolling listings, messaging sellers, and driving back and forth for nothing. Roger took 4 days to find me the nicest car I ever had, a Hyundai i30, $5k less than market price.”
Emma - 2014 Hyundai i30, $10,500
“Roger was awesome and made the car buying process more accessible. He rigorously inspected each vehicle and stopped me from buying one with a rolled back odometer.”
Alan - 2018 Mazda 3 - $11000
