How to get a price guide from the marketplace?
After getting as much information about the type of car you want to buy you can start to find out how much you might pay for it.
Finding equality in the marketplace can sometimes be difficult therefore, you should take your time and be patient looking around as much as you can.
When buying a car you should always aim to pay a fair market price, not more!
To help you get an idea of the market price you can:
| Look through the newspaper |
Look through specialised magazines such as
· The Used Car Buyers Guide
· Just Cars

| There are many other magazines available when next in a newsagent's have a look. |
What is the Redbook?
The Redbook is a website that gives you the market value of used vehicles in Australia. It is important to remember that this is the market value ONLY. Also, this market value is based on the prices of used vehicles in capital cities, so if you are buying a 4-Wheel Drive in a remote area, you can expect to pay more.
