Australian Cars??
I've been using www.carsales.com.au to find information on cars and their values. It's a good site, but I just wondered if anyone has been using any other sites??
...and those that have already moved out to Australia, what advice can you give on buying your first Australian car?? ...and what did you buy???

I had one in England. Matts 6 ft 5 and when he drove it it was a crack up! He could have done with taking the front seat out!

....might have to take a chance on that!!!
I've been wondering how expensive they are to run, as I'll be using it to travel for work too, on a $ per mile system! I'm thinking they're only going to be as bad as some of the other cars seeing as most run a V6???
