Guest guest17301 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I would avoid the smaller dealerships who seem to put $$$ onto the price and the cars are bombs in a lot of cases. Private ads, if you know what youre looking for can get a good deal, look in paper on Sat and Quokka. Thats where we got our mazda bubble from, still going strong almost 3 yrs on!Only paid $1500, if youre looking to pay a bit more! Try the dealers on wanneroo road, the biggies, Toyota, Hyundia, Kia, have a look at great wall, a lot of the used cars come with warranties.

cartertucker Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Would you go private or dealer? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Not sure which is the better option in Perth but, either way, if you and yours don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge, join the WA motorists' organisation and get your chosen car checked by their mechanics. I expect you'll have to pay for the check but it could save you heaps in the long run. Dealerships probably have some sort of warranty - which private sellers won't have. You should find some helpful advice here - http://rac.com.au/Motoring/Motoring-advice/Buying-a-car.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Moved to Transport. Although could be in WA section as seems suited to there also. But will leave here for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Would you go private or dealer? :confused: We went dealer even though we were buying a cheap car, apprently there is a law that if you buy through a dealer anything over $4000 has to have a warranty on it, I just felt nervous of buying privatly.

That was just what we thought....Until I googled it & it said you should buy private & get your own seperate warranty! :wacko: Damn you Google! :twitcy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can say anything on the internet...it means having to suss out who is likely to be the most reliable authority. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
