Hi All,

On holiday we hired a Toyota Tarago, very nice! We need a people carrier, but are these the only/most commonly available over in Oz. I've looked on some car dealer websites but because the names are all different than in the UK and some are called 'wagons' rather than people carriers, I'm getting nowhere fast!

Can anyone tell me some more model names and are the government auctions I've heard of any good?

Thanks a lot,

Phil

If you go to http://www.discountnewcars.com.au you get small pictures of all the cars available for each maker. It also gives prices you can expect to pay. With technical specs and model features.

Wagons are the same as Estate Cars.

We have a Kia Carnival. Its a 7 seater, similar shape to a Tarago but nowhere near as expensive Brand new manuals are available from $29,990 and automatic around $32k. www.kia.com.au

Although I can't give any details. When we were over in June we did see Vauxhall (Holden) Zafiras about.

Thanks everyone

Our car here is an Alhambra, which sounds like it's about to die! Don't think we'll get much for it when it dies so need a car but don't want to overspend initially til we work out what we'll be spending on furniture etc.

Anyone used the Government auctions??

Thanks again,

We also have a Kia Carnival and we are really happy with it. It is fantastic value for money.
