Looking at a few car websites (in particular carsales.com.au) it appears I can buy a fairly good second hand car for around $15,000, or a brand new car that seems quite good for around $24,000.
The first thing to know is: Buy a used car, not new. A new car becomes instantly “used,” and loses a third of its value, the minute you drive it off the lot.
