01 . About . Since 1972

A family floor
on the same corner.

Nick Theodossi Prestige Cars opened in 1972 with two Holdens on a gravel forecourt at 185 Arden Street. 54 years later the corner sits opposite Arden Station, anchor of an $11 billion Metro Tunnel precinct, and the floor is still run by Nick and three of his children.

Inside the floor

Three rooms, one corner.

The main floor, the classic floor, the workshop. Every car you buy has been somewhere in these three rooms.

What the floor actually does

Five things, under one roof, since 1986.

Most prestige dealers run sales out of one building, workshop out of another, finance through a broker. Theodossi runs every step from Arden Street.

01 . Sales

A curated floor.

Every car on the floor was hand-picked by a director. No volume targets. No factory franchises. The mix is the buyer’s call.

Marques
Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, plus the rest.
Floor size
150+ vehicles indoors, year round.
02 . Sourcing

Cars you tell us to find.

If a specific year, marque, colour or option pack isn’t on the floor, the team sources it. Briefing fee, transparent margin, the search runs until you say stop.

Lead time
Two to twelve weeks, depending on rarity.
Coverage
Domestic and import, including Japanese imports and UK consigners.
03 . Workshop

In-house service.

Workshop bays opened upstairs in 1986. Every car the floor sells passes through on the way out, every car a customer brings back goes the same way. The mechanical file follows the chassis.

Capability
Routine service, pre-purchase inspections, pre-delivery prep, performance work.
Storage
Climate-aware indoor storage for cars that aren’t driven year round.
04 . Aftercare

Coatings, tracking, warranties.

Ceramic coatings, paint protection film, window tinting, GPS tracking, dash cams, extended warranty placement. Coordinated by Brooke. One quote, one schedule.

Coordinator
Brooke Forward, Aftercare Manager.
Lead time
Most aftercare turnarounds inside the week.
05 . Finance

Direct lender access.

Consumer and business finance arranged in-house with our panel of lenders. Pre-approval before you commit, settlement timed to the car’s readiness, no broker layered on top.

Channels
Consumer loan, business chattel mortgage, novated lease.
Pre-approval
Same-day in most cases.
06 . Trade-in

Sell us the old one.

A trade-in valuation against your next car, or a straight buy-out if you’re moving on. Same valuer, same rules, written quote you can hold the team to.

Window
Quote within 48 hours of inspection.
Settlement
Bank transfer on contract, payout cleared on collection.
Why this corner

The street the city is rebuilding around.

The dealership owns the site outright. The street has changed three times around it. The floor has stayed put.

01

1972 . Two Holdens, gravel

The corner is bought outright. Warehouses and panel beaters either side. The position is a bet on patience that takes half a century to land.

Founding
02

1986 . Workshop bays

Service moves upstairs, in-house. The floor pivots toward European prestige as the Carlton accountants, Brunswick wholesalers and river-corridor doctors start walking in.

Workshop opens
03

2003 . Classic floor

Pre-war Bentleys, '60s Ferraris, '70s Jaguars start coming through alongside the modern stock. The dual register becomes the brand.
