Used Car Wanted - Max Budget 10K - Brisbane Based

[guile]

i know the budget is probably a bit low for this forum but i thought i'd try it anyway. may be you have a friend of a friend selling something etc...

i have a mate who is going through a separation, i'll spare the sob story but basically old mate decided he'd take the car and unfortunately she's not left with much cash to buy another one...

no major rush as she's relying on lifts from work mates at the minute but if anyone know's of something it would be appreciated...

must be in good condition and not require any work in the near future or she'll end up broke...

thanks in advance...

Not got one for sale but you might get a diesel golf or jetta for around 10k. Good car, good on fuel and low insurance

You'll get something decent and Asian for $5k fairly easily. Plenty of Corollas, Suzuki Swifts, etc.

2012 Nissan Micra K13 ST

2011 Hyundai i20 Active MY11


You'll even get new for <$10k - it's just not the type of car an enthusiast would consider.

2014 Mitsubishi Mirage LA ES MY14

Yeah, you wouldn't drive around Australia with one but as a reasonably reliable urban runabout they do the job - with warranty!

Honestly,for peace of mind,I would suggest a good Toyota Corolla,Honda Civic,or Mazda 3 for 10 Grand,stay away from Golfs and Polos...

Go with a small newish Jap car if budget is a factor.
