Paul Simpson Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hello we arrive in less than 2 weeks and will be looking to buy a motor, staying in Innaloo, any tips on decent car yards in the area looking at spending about 12k on a station wagon. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi Paul, There are quite a few second hand garages in Wangara, I think there are a few car yards on Scarborough Beach Road and also check out John Hughes (just south of the river in Victoria Park). But with only $12k for a station wagon maybe look at Wangara or have a look online at carsales.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Simpson Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks Tom I've seen a few 07/08 Astra wagons for between $10-12k on carsales.com will see what the yards have when I arrive, just need a decent runner to start with. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulandDeb Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 **** loads under $10000 but high mileage will be the key factor. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/results.aspx?silo=stock&q=(((((((((SiloType%3d%5bBrand+new+cars+in+stock%5d)%7c(SiloType%3d%5bDemo+and+near+new+cars%5d))%7c(SiloType%3d%5bDealer+used+cars%5d))%7c(SiloType%3d%5bDemo+and+near+new+cars%5d))%7c(SiloType%3d%5bPrivate+seller+cars%5d))%26(State%7b%3d%7d%5bWestern+Australia%5d))%26(BodyStyle%7b%3d%7d%5bPeople+Mover%5d))%26(Service%3d%5bCarsales%5d))%26(Price%3drange%5b0..10000%5d))&vertical=car&sortby=TopDeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Keep away from the Ford Falcons and Holden Commodores, most of the cheap ones are ex taxis and very knackered, I looked into this when I first arrived with the same budget, ended up buying a SUV from Lynn Ford for $14k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druid Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Like you said, you get what you pay for, my mate is selling his, it's a big 4x4, white in excellent condition with low miles, his wife has to commute to work in it and she doesn't like it because its too big and too difficult to park, if you are interested I will find out how old and how many miles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlaunay Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just wanted to know are Great walls motor's any good? I know you get what you pay for but looking at 15k (family of 4). I think they have shocking results in the ANCAP's but it may be worth checking if that's important to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
