[SA] Advice on Buying a Car (2024 Plate Clearance or near New) in December

Chuckles79 on 16/10/2024 - 22:52

In early December, I'm heading back to South Australia after a few years working overseas and will need to pick up some wheels fairly quickly. I would like some advice on the best way to get a deal at this time of year. Do they discount 2024 plated vehicles in December? Is there a recommended strategy for the best deal, and should I engage earlier etc?

It doesn't have to be new, anything less than 20k on the clock if is in range. If helpful, I am leaning towards a Toyota Fortuner or Isuzu MUX (4WD) or similar pending a test drive but open-minded to anything suitable. I appreciate I'll be limited to what is in stock. Grateful for any advice as I have been offshore for a while.

    So you're the guy on the oil rig that's always sending me spammy messages on marketplaces. Let me guess, it's also your son's birthday next month?

    Do you need an off road 4wd, or large tow capacity? What's your budget?

    Deals are dependant on a bunch of factors. Stock, monthly sales targets mostly, bit mot limited to. Plate clearance sales tend to be advertised in january.

    You can look at: www.carsales.com.au and put in SA.

    Add in New or New and Used and Max Km of 20,000.

    Also, a Max Price.

    Year is 2024 to "ANY"

    Once you have done this, sort them.

    Tip: Ask if they have actual physical stock, don't get conned into "It is on the way" or "I might have a trade-in or a demo for you soon"

    Throw in keywords like Demo.
