Are cars really this expensive?

[Hearne_Family]

I paid $2k for a '94 Falcon with RWC and Rego...cheap cars are about you just have to look, local papers are always worth a look when you get here, as for owning costs and as for Oz versions of Tax, MOT etc it depends which state you will be in.

henderson cars ,mooloolaba sunshine coast has a good selection of second hand vehicles priced from $4000. to $20000. all inspected by the racq.

There are often some cars for sale on a peice of land between Loganlea Road and Kingston Road, all of which have been inspected by tyre-kicking hoons with nothing better to do with their day.

$500 to $2500 ... $50 to $1000 if you don't want the sound system ... bargain!

But think what you CAN get down here in the sticks:

- A huge sticker with 'Jet Pilot' on it
- Not one panel colour but three
- An exhaust pipe the size of a dustbin (one of those old round ones, remember them? <drifts off into nostalgia>
- Two cars for the price of one, the welding in the middle has a limited warranty

Finance can be arranged from the guy at number 34, private medical cover also recommended.

I bought a 380 for about $13k with still factory warranty etc from Pickles Auctions. They seam to have the cheapest cars around and most cars have a full service history and low kms. Dealers buy from the Auctions and then mark up the price. Just go on to their website and then copare a similar vehicle on carsales.com.au and you will see that they are cheaper. Good luck with the car hunting
