Best website in my opinion is carsales australia. I'd avoid going to the dealers and just buy off a private seller as you'd get a better deal.

make sure you get the Road Worth certification done (RWC). we picked our car from car sales, a pvt seller, took a friend who knows ins and outs of cars, advertised price was 6800, got it for 6000, he would have bargained further but no sweat.. its a neat car.

all th best

RWCs are a statutory requirement for car sales in Australia in almost all states.
