kia, hyundi with 150 on the clock may not be such a good idea around robinvale , holdens ,fords toyotas are plentiful with dealers and parts easily accessible .also more solid so better for you hitting up a roo with. dont think you,ll find many kia with huge mileage on them but the other three have lots with 300 + ks on them . If buying privately the seller needs to provide a roadworthy or remove the plates stamp duty on transfer I think is 6 % . If you have somebody who is mechanically minded then the private sales in the local papers can find good deals. 12 months ago we had to sell my fathers car (he is over 90 and no licence anymore ), a falcon with 100000 k that he paid (Too much ) 12000 for ayear before and travelled 1500 km in and the dealer who sold it to him would only give $2500 for it but he didnt want it. Our dealer said it was possible worth $4000 if we sold it privately but they could only pay $2500. Similar cars in Shepparton were available with warranty for 7 to 8000. Dealers have high mark ups that you may be able to avoid . You can always try with private sales going with a huge wad of twenties the sight of all those notes may get you a car much cheaper than they were asking for (particularly if advertised for several weeks)
