    Default Best deal on cars~!

    Tought Id make a thread on whats the best deals you got on a car. My mate just picked up a Manual Silvia for $500. The owner at the time was saying it needed a new alternator and Brake lines. Once inspecting the car found out all it needed was Brake Fluid and a new batter since there was no brake fluid in the car. LoLz So far the best deal Ive found on a car.

    If you keep saving up your pocket money you might be able to get a decent buy to replace your go cart when your old enough to drive.

    High kms, damage, not roadworthy, desperate sale, general market forces.

    There are lots of things that can make a car sell cheaply.

    There's one down the road from me at a dealership going for $29,990 from memory - auto, and I think has a few more kms on it, but still a killer price.

    A few people i know have picked up cars like that, a mate got a VT Clubby with 70,000kms for a few grand + rego costs. Some bargains to be had if your smart.

    WK Stato currently selling at Holden dealer for $17,800. Probably a V6, the ad doesn't specify, but that's a lot of car for the money. Less than VZ Calais price.
