What car ?
 
We arrive in Brisbane on 9th Jan and want to buy a car ASAP, instead of paying for rental. We currently have a Vauxhall Zafria which provides us with 7 seats if we need them. . Preference 1-2 years old, economic to run, approx £9000.00. Any thoughts would be greatly received. If anyone knows of good garages in brisbane or the sunshine coast as that is our final destination please let me know.

Thanks

All I can tell you is that cars here 1 or 2 years old go for almost the same money as brand new.

(We have a 98 patrol and a 89 735 bmw !)

Try the Holden website. I seem to recall being able to price up a new car from them, inc what model, options, paint you want etc.
