Buying on Parra road - your top tips

[Ext User(Kelpie)]

I'm not in a huge hurry to buy a car, but just couldn't be stuffed selling
and buying so was thinking of doing a lap of parra road.

I'm usually a bit of a softy with negotiations, but wanna be a tough guy
this time :)


My trade EL Falcon ex Taxi 500+km nearly out of rego
Want: something small Barina, Corolla ish
Changeover 8k

What are your into-fleecing prevention tips for the used car lot.

Go find what you want then flick the taxi for $1500.00 in the trading
post ( yes some one will take it) and use the cash to negotiate a decent
price .
or take the $500 trade and get screwed .

What kind of dollars is a 500,000km EL taxi gonna bring?

[Ext User(hippo)]

RU trawling all of Parra Rd or if not which area?
There's always some better & some worse & it's not always the most obvious
in either case!
Cheers
