Default HELP..! Which motor, I have no idea?

I am a Wall & Floor Tiler by trade, I am moving to Australia on 9th June and I really need help with buying a vehicle - "What, Where and How Much"?
I need something I can use in and out of work preferably.

Any help would be great, thanks

Get a ute...! Nissan Navara, Toyota HiLux, Mitsubishi Triton, etc... Or at the lower end, but not so much fun, one of the car based ones like the Ford Falcon...

In a perfect position to answer this question, I had a falcon ute and although it was great to drive it wasn't reliable, I had a new gearbox and new diff within 6 months.
I now have a Toyota Hilux which is fantastic for my needs, and a great family vehicle with bullet proof reliability.

I work At a car yard would be happy to help you find the right car, a ute would be a good suggestion. Depending on your budget etc you can buy something reasonable for about $17,000 drive away. You will need to get a customer reference number generated with Qld Transport before you can register a car in your name so I can help you arrange that. you can contact myself (email address removed, please contact via private message on the forum)
