1. What are you on about.
2. They are 95% private sellers on that site.
3. Of course you will get the odd piece of shit for less, but that gives a very good indication of the prices you will be paying.
4. Used car dealers will always be significantly more expensive than private sellers.
5. Shut the fuck up.

How about the Toyota Starlet? I saw one on Carsales for under $5000 but the only thing is its pink. I don't think I really mind though, its quite unique as I've never seen a pink starlet before!

How many kms would you say would be reasonable for a car about 10 yrs old if I want to get a few more years out of it?

And would owning a 3 door car get extremely annoying after a while? Would it be better buying a 5 door just to be safe?

I have a 3 door civic, and quite frankly he's right. getting in and out isnt that much of a hassle but compared to a camry (my other car) the back seat is way too small.

man i hate how turbos are restricted for p platers, why would they do such a thing :)

I know not all turbos are uber-hoon-fast-cars and some can be very safe, but the reality is that the turbos which they are trying to curb young ones from driving are dangerously quick and far beyond the capabilities of most new drivers and are likely to be prone to unnecessary (and illegal) use.

This. I don't know what the appeal is, but tons of people have them now.
