So…I personally don't like small cars like yaris, picanto, mazda 2, Getz…… but if I have to yeah why not.. Better than push bike ..
I am personally inclined to the #5. 2007 Honda Civic VTI AUto MY07 as it is a proper dealer sale and drive away price… I know dealers can be dodge.. but..

What do yall guys think???
You guys are good at bargaining and saving… need some help people..!

      $6,900 for the Getz would be a good price if we were in 2012.

      Realistically its an optimistic $3k car

    Go the Lancer, they aint fancy but they are reliable and durable.

    also 9.0 l per 100 KM is pretty good for an older mid-sized car.

    So many overpriced cars…. you seem to like those, seriously 20yo car for 9k?!

  • darkdinkum on 03/12/2023 - 12:23

    Some hope for OP:
    Used car prices keep falling as market supply improves

      OP's shortlist will increase to 20 vehicles with that information.

  • zombie hunter on 03/12/2023 - 20:04

    test drive and find out which one you like to drive. dont bother with opinions from the peanut gallery

  • spammingb on 03/12/2023 - 20:55

    Lexus IS250 2007

    • ultracheapweeabookun on 05/12/2023 - 10:07

      Why did you get negged for this? its a perfect problematic car for a person like this

      • spammingb on 05/12/2023 - 11:24

        Problematic? It's one of the most reliable things out there

  • Penican on 03/12/2023 - 22:01

  • Hackney on 04/12/2023 - 05:57

    This really is a stupid post from the OP! Why does he not research it himself!

    • Euphemistic on 04/12/2023 - 09:05

      This is how you do research in the social media age.

  • Bumblegrum on 04/12/2023 - 08:49

    Yaris is cheap to run and repair and generally hard to kill

    Why the heck used-car price is crazy

    I was thinking the same. The prices should be half of what’s listed to start with!

    2007 civic asking $10k??? No wonder RBA is upping the interest rates.
    That car was <$20k when new!!!

    Get quotes for insurance on the top 3 either most voted or top 3 you want.
    Insurance costs might very well be a deciding factor.

  • billy72 on 04/12/2023 - 13:28

    OP should buy a car with the engine light on from a mechanic and service it every 2000 kms.

  • yokel on 04/12/2023 - 13:40

    Most cars listed are bulletproof. Ditch the idea of the Getz, the others are much nicer. You don’t mention anything about lifestyle. Why limit yourself to a sedan. A crv for instance is more practical than an accord.

    • Euphemistic on 04/12/2023 - 15:32

      More practical but also more $ to run, and also probably more desirable therefore more $ to buy.

      Yes, running costs are not going to be a lot higher, but don’t buy an SUV if you don’t need it for practicality.

  • kamelataturd on 04/12/2023 - 15:42

    i'd recommend something like this (no affiliation to seller just what came up in carsales)
    https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2012-ford-focus-amb…

    will comfortably put another 50000km on the clock.

    Couple of key points for me are try and get a car with under 80000km and get a car with a service history (ideally log books, but if not service receipts which identify the car)

    being a ford parts will be relatively accessible/relatively cheaper, insurance similarly will be on the lower end and should not depreciate too badly.

    AU Series 1 Falcon Wagon in liquid silver. ROH alloys on the front, cheese cutters on the rear, peeling clear coat, 416,000km.

    If not available;

    VT Series 1 Executive sedan in Bermuda blue, CSA alloys on the front, cheese cutters on the rear, missing fuel flap, severe paint fade, 332,000km.

    Both excellent options.

    Hope it helps.

  • portard on 04/12/2023 - 15:55

    Mate just pick one

  • SoapyWooder on 04/12/2023 - 17:12

    Euro's weakness is the automatic transmission. If you can, get a manual one.

    • ultracheapweeabookun on 05/12/2023 - 10:08

      was complaining about taking ron 95 or above don't think a manual trans is going to help

    • nubzy on 05/12/2023 - 11:33

      Not always! Peugeot use Aisin automatics, the exact same Toyota use! That’s one reason why they are generally very reliable these days

      • mapax on 05/12/2023 - 11:51

        Isn’t Soapy talking about the Honda Accord Euro?

        Also, what Aisin do Peugeot use?

        • nubzy on 05/12/2023 - 12:05
          +1

          Ah, yes you are right.

          TF70-Series Aisin AWF6F25 (300Nm) - 6-speed transverse
          Groupe PSA transmission code AT6-III (EAT6)
          Peugeot 208, 508 II, 308 II, 408 II, 2008, 3008 II, 5008 II

  • syousef on 04/12/2023 - 18:24

    I can't believe the Lancer with no service history is the top recommendation. Car was likely NOT serviced on time and if it really was (yeah right) the mechanic is so thorough he couldn't be bothered filling out the log book. OzBargain is NOT the place to get your car buying advice.

  • Lucille Bluth on 05/12/2023 - 03:32

    Stop spamming OzBargain with the same useless poll weekly.
