Guest sh7t man no way Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Dont know whats best mate, we are there a year so i wanted to buy a cheapie and then sell it cheap when we left....what do you think would be best ?what about hiring a cheap runaround,till you get up,and running,and know what you are looking for--we hired a car sometimes for 26 dollars a day (you can get them cheaper)theres no rego/insurance to pay,and if it busts you get a replacement,all you do is put fuel in them,and of you go--theres heaps of cheap hire car places in,and around brissy who are looking for business,haggle with them for a deal on a monthly basis you may be suprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stezza79 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 We arrived a few months ago and go totally ripped off with a car. Cars here "hold their value"....that means they're bloody expensive to you and me. We had the car 3 weeks and it was in the service station for errrm, 3 weeks. We drove it for a day! Then we traded it in and bought another hand one from the Mitsibushi place down at Springwood. Avoid the Annerley mile (or something it's called). There's a fella called Tobins in Stones Corner, wish we'd bought the car from him, he's always got little run arounds for 4k and under. But, you'll be looking at something well old for a grand. There are plenty of rental places in Brisbane...we rented for a month with Avis or Aces (i'll ask the wife). If you need any help, please do give me a shout (i don't confess to knowing too much about cars but i'll certainly give you an honest opinion about life so far!!).

Guest stezza79 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Ah well you'll know what to look for then....what i know about cars would fit on the back of a stamp. There are loads of places to look for cars here. It's as if every other yard is a car dealership. There's a website to check out too, Used Cars - New Cars - Search New & Used Cars For Sale - carsales.com.au. Wifey and I have been here only a few months ourselves but if we can help, please do shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louise28 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 We looked into hiring but its just not feasible for a longer period of time. I would defo go with buying if you want long term use. We have put aside about $8-10k for a camper van but we need this to last for the majority of time we are out there. Its defo not cheap to get a reliable 2nd hand car out there thats for sure.
