Buying a car
 
Can anyone recommend a second hand car salesroom in the south Brisbane area? Would be good to have a few names to know where to start.

Thanks :D

Here's something to get you started:

http://www.motorama.com.au/

Motorama are a big chain, sell new and "pre-loved". I biught new from them before and was all good.

Depending on your budget, you may want to look into NOVATED LEASE which is a good way of buying a car and saving some tax. Car needs to by typically three years old or less to go this way. Search on this forum for more info.

As we buy a few cars for new arrivals let me know what you are looking for engine size, estate,coupe, price ect & i will give you some phone numbers of dealers we can trust.

How much is your budget? second hand can be expensive in Oz if you know how much you are willing to spend and what car you are after it might be easier to point you in the right direction of new or used. Another thing the price advertised for a car will not normally include Rego, C.T.P or G.S.T so the price you see is not going to be the price you pay that goes for all cars not just used, its also much harder to haggle on second hand cars here as dealers sell them at near market value anyway, they might throw in some fuel but not much else, you may do better with a private sale though.
