Well, my motor has only just broken in 100,000kms, its 12 years old now. Greatly looked after, mechanic family, I honestly wouldnt part with mine for anything less than $9000.

As for your budget, $5000 you'll get a nice first car, being holdens are awesome. Just make sure you dont get a dud, look for rust under the boot lid and rubber seals, also around the doors, etc etc. You'd be looking for a car with mileage in the range of 100,000km (rare) to 160,000km (common).

Yeah i no that feeling hahaha, though dont buy the first one you see, theres plenty around, just look at half a dozen if you want to buy one this weekend, then pick one, or better still, be patient lol and look around to you find one that best suits you.

You dont wonna get one, then in a few months have to spend $$$ repairing it, make sure you get RAC inspection or private mechanic to look at it before you purchase one

Yeh deffintly gunna get the racv check. Then a few other checks which verfies the ownership of the car and tells you about any write off crashes or stolen claims on the vechiel.
