ladies and gents,
my friend decided to purchase a car and asked me to help him out with it...so tomorrow i will be a taxi driver to take him around Sydney in order to find him his first wheels.
i have not purchased a used car in a long time so i need few pointersand helpful hints.
he is on a very tight budget, maximum $4000AUD.
he would prefer an automatic but does not care if its 4cyl, V6 or V8.
what i am after is some pointers as to what to look out for when getting for eg a 1995 VR Commodore with 250,000Km on the clock, or what to look out for if he for eg likes a 1999 Lantra with 220,000Km on the clock...that kind of jazz.
just so i can explain to him what to expect for eg 6months after he purchases it...
cheers,
Marcin
