      To get a warranty on a used car it needs to have less than 160000ks and be less that 10 years old, and even then it is only for 3 months. Any warranty on top of that will be one that you will have to get with a warranty company, and they do have limits on what and how much they can claim

      If you are only after something small you may get something pretty new that may still have some manufacturers warranty. It would more than likely be an Asian make of car

      Thanks for your info just looked at the website you gave and yes you seem to get more for your money........mileage/ Kms seem higher than Uk? What in your opinion would be excessive Kms for say a 10 year old car in aus?

      If you get a 10 yr old car with 200000ks on the clock it's a fair bit but then again they have only done 20000 per year, that's only about 13-14 thousand mile so not that much per year. Saying that have a good look around because I had 2 15 yr old cars when I was there last year and bought one with 123000 and the other with 117000. Australia and it's cities are pretty spread out so you will find that the good majority of second hand older cars will have done a few k's but like I said have a good look and you will find something hopefully with one owner full service history and maybe around the 100,000 mark
