Built for South African buyers
One brief, matched to dealers in all nine provinces instead of nine separate phone calls.
About Deal Match
Dealers compete, you compare
Written offers arrive in one place so price, trade-in and finance are comparable.
Verified partners only
Every dealership is checked before a single requirement reaches them.
Free for buyers, always
We are paid by the partner that wins your business, never by you.
Buying a car in South Africa should not take three weekends.
Deal Match started because the hardest part of buying a car is not choosing one — it is finding out what it should actually cost you. Between dealer floors, finance houses, trade-in valuations and insurance quotes, most buyers end up accepting the first number they are given.
We flipped it. You submit one brief describing the car, budget and province. We put that brief in front of verified dealerships and registered finance and insurance partners, and they come back to you with written offers. You compare in one place and choose on your terms.
We are a young business, and we would rather be honest about that than dress it up. What we can promise is that every dealership on the network is verified before your details reach it, that nothing is quoted verbally, and that the service costs you nothing.
Deal Match was founded by Paul Paunde in 2026 to make the vehicle-buying process more transparent for South African drivers. The business is built around a simple idea: a buyer should be able to describe what they need once, then compare relevant responses without spending weekends repeating the same conversation.
Deal Match (Pty) Ltd is registered under number 2026/592501/07, with its registered address at 2 Finch, Landing Rockcliff Estate. We are an introducer rather than a dealer, lender or insurer, and the final contract is always between you and the partner you choose.
Find a dealHow we work
Requirement first
We start with what you need, not with whatever stock a dealer wants to move. Your brief describes the car, the budget and the province, and everything after that is a response to it.
Written or it didn't happen
Price, trade-in allowance and finance structure come to you in writing, so nothing quietly shifts between the showroom floor and the signing table.
Plain numbers
We push partners to show the total cost of credit, initiation and service fees and the balloon position — not only a flattering monthly instalment.
Consent-led data
Your details only go where you tick, they go to verified partners, and you can withdraw your consent at any time.
Deal Match is an introducer, not a dealer, credit provider or insurer. Read our disclaimer and terms for the detail.

Frequently asked
Is Deal Match a dealership?
No. We are an introducer. We match your requirement to verified dealerships and registered finance and insurance partners, who then contract with you directly.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. Buyers never pay us. We are paid by the partner that wins your business, and that fee does not change the price you are quoted.
How long until I hear something?
Most briefs receive their first written response within one to two business days, depending on how specific the vehicle is and which province you buy in.
Do I have to take any offer I receive?
No. You are under no obligation. Compare what arrives, ask questions, and walk away if nothing suits you.
Who sees my personal information?
Only the partners you consent to being introduced to, and only for the purpose of quoting on your requirement. Read our privacy policy and POPIA notice for the detail.
