The AA Appraised sticker is presented on the inside of the vehicle windscreen, providing you with the peace of mind and confidence of driving a used car that has had an AA Appraisal. Valid for 3 months from the date of appraisal or 500km, whichever occurs first.

Andrea
I had an excellent experience at Portage Cars. Logan was friendly, helpful, and truly understands the value of great customer service. He was honest and upfront, never promising anything he couldn’t deliver. It’s refreshing to deal with such a genuine car dealership. I would definitely recommend Logan and Portage Cars to anyone looking for a vehicle!
