Hi everyone,
My fiance's sister is pregnant and is looking to buy a larger and safer car and I thought I'd come and ask for some suggestions
She has asked for it to be
4 door
Manual
Easy to put a baby seat in
Boot big enough to put a pram in
She has given me a budget of about $5k - $6k so does anyone have any ideas on a reliable car within these parameters without too many km's on it?
Thanks in Advance
EDIT: Forgot to add, we're in Sydney
For that price range all you can get is a Mitsubishi Magna FTW
ive seen some suburu forester 4wds for that price
couldnt argue - but they have all done at least ~75000km more…
Hyundai Elantras would be my recommendation. You should get a 2005 (or thereabouts) model with about 100,000 km for about $5K-$6K. My opinion (not based on any research) is that Hyundai's are more reliable than the Kia's and Suzuki's out here.
they hold their value very poorly though…
The lady has not returned..?
Anyway if you do have a look around www.carsales.com.au some great bargains to be found on there but like always when buying a used car… be extra careful!!
Thanks for the advice everyone, she ended up getting an 02 Honda Civic from a friend for pretty cheap
i have a magna that I am about to go about selling… we have just upgraded to spacia van
1999 - service records all up to date (as per manufacturer), 150000km (auto though)
they are great to drive, safe
we are expecting in the vicinity of 5500
