Finding Cheap Cars/Trucks for sale?

Post by Begbie »

Just wondering if anyone would like to share any secrets for finding cheap 4x4s in Vic? When i say cheap i mean nto car yard prices.

Obviously looking at the following websites is a given.
Trading Post
CarSales
CarPoint
Drive

I also ring all the wholesalers i know. But is there any oither good resources that everyone uses that i dont know about?

Specifically i am looking for a GU Patrol.

There a cheap 4x4's everywhere for a short period of time. By that I mean if they are cheap they don't last long.

Keep your eye's on all those sources but with the Trading post get in early or don't worry about it. Thursday night is to late to be looking you really need to search first thing in the morning to pick up a bargain.

just constantly keep checking all the adverts everywhere. when you see

something thats a bargain do not hesitate, go straight out and buy it

otherwise it'll be gone. and by constantly checking you will know the

current market value of what you're after and whether it's a genuine

bargain or not.
