Kezzles Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hey all we want to buy a car but can't decide what or where from? We are current based in east melbs but moving to st Kilda next week. We had a golf back in uk and would like something that size. We've been told not to buy a foreign car as we may get ripped off if it needs parts. Any ideas? Any good dealers you've heard of or used would help us too? cheers kez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, don't buy a European car as parts are expensive, but most Aussies drive Japanese or Korean cars and parts are OK for those. Are you buying new or second-hand? If you're not mechanically-minded then it's always a good idea to get an NRMA vehicle inspection if you buy second-hand. http://www.mynrma.com.au/services/motorserve-vehicle-inspection.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a cracking little black Golf I bought for my wife when we arrived with hardly a mark on it and runs brilliant. When do you need a car for and what is your budget? I just want to try and get roughly what I paid for the Golf which was about $6,500 including the rego. I'm in Sandringham and work in South Melbourne so close to where you are :wink:. Give me a shout if you're interested. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike@Bonbeach Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Depends really on your budget. Things to consider are frequency of service, some cars require 6 month services, and premium fuel. I've just changed my Honda Accord Euro (lovely car) but 6 month servicing, premium fuel, no fixed price servicing, to a Hyundai i40, 12month capped price servicing for 7 years, regular fuel, 7 years manufacturer/garage warranty, 7 years roadside assist. Free annual updates to sat/nav. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight7 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 My daughter drives a little black golf here and she loves it, says it is the best car she's had- it is a great little car and no problems with excessive maintenance prices. I'd get another here if I were you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we want a car right now. cheers kez Hi Kez, and sorry for the late reply. I've been away the last few days and only recently managed to gain internet access again! The Golf is a 2001 I think, done around 125,000km which is about 78,000 miles so pretty low. I can get some photo's if you're interested but we're ideally looking to keep hold of the car until around June time, as we fly back to the UK in July. If you need something before I understand, but if you can wait then please give me a shout or send me a private message through PIO with your email address or contact number.
