Used Cars Australia

Used cars Australia can be a convenient and economical way of seeing a few cities or the outback while you're visiting or doing the full Australian tour.

Many younger visitors and back packers buy an old car from up Kings Cross, do their trip, and sell it there again just before they fly out again.

If you want to buy and old car, the place to go is the multi-storey car park just behind Kings Cross police station. Expect to see vans, station wagons and some camper vans there; all with owners anxious to sell. The vehicles are pretty much bombs but it is a quick and easy way of doing things.

If you want something better, then you can try buying a cheap used car from a licensed dealer. Just hop a city bus up the Parramatta Road towards Flemington. There are heaps of car yards either side of the road to choose from. Or else you can hop a train from Central to Parramatta itself and check out the many car yards in Church Street.

Buyer Beware
Please be aware that there is no warranty of any kind on these vehicles. Even a dealer won't give a warranty to a car that's more than 10 years old. Also, while your car may be licensed to be on the road, it will have 3rd-party injury insurance but not third party damage insurance. You need to get damage insurance at least, to save being sued if you scratch someone's Mercedes or Porche!

My last tip for used cars Australia would be to join one of the motoring clubs. In New South Wales, it's the NRMA. In Queensland its the RACQ. They have Roadside Assistance to get you going again if you break down, or at least tow you to a mechanical workshop. They also perform thorough vehicle inspections, so you can be sure of what you're buying
