A 10 yr old car thats done mega klms and is in poor condition won't be
worth much but one in decent condition will be worth more than that.
A search of private seller cars in carsales.com.au in Vic only found 3
AU Falcons for under $5000.00 and 2 of those were ex taxis, a dealer
search found none.
It may be possible to buy cheaper cars at auctions but that option isn't
as easy as it sounds.
