Where to buy your first car
Go with the option you feel most comfortable with ...
DEALER
Advantage: On cars under 10 years old, most states require a warranty, typically 3 months or 5000km. You also get guaranteed title. New car dealerships usually have the widest range of used cars.
Disadvantage: You may pay more than buying privately.
PRIVATE
Advantage: You can find a bargain and generally pay less than a dealer car.
Disadvantage: No guarantee of title and no warranty. Cars must be mechanically checked before purchase.
AUCTION
Advantage: Ex-government or fleet cars, usually properly serviced and repaired, with low kilometres. Guaranteed title.
Disadvantage: You can't test drive the car before you bid. You need to do your homework and attend auctions before you're ready to bid.
