Myself and the wife have decided that we want to upgrade from our VY commodore, the car that we are extremley keen on is the Hyundai Tucson, not being huge on cars im very unsure on the best places to look whether it be the net or in car yards, we really need help searching, what we are looking for is.

-Hyundai Tuscon
-Automatic
-Grey/Black/Silver Colour
-done less than 80K Kms
-cost we are not looking to spend much more than 20k
-standard features will do

Any help in our search would be greatly appreciated.

Take mine, it fits all the criteria but is the City Elite model which has the sunroof, leather inserts and a couple of other upgrades. I assume you are after the 4 cyl FWD version, not the V6 AWD ?

I used carsales.com a fair bit recently when looking for a new car
I thought it was a good way to see what was out there, and for car yard sales often you could work out which car yard then you could drop in for a look

Sent my son out to find me a car.

He's 30.

HE found me a Holden Acclaim with parking sensors.

Great car.

The kids are up to date on these things.

Never had a problem with it.

I think a car broker can assist here. Rather than you run around and d*ck around with car salesman, you could get a broker to do that for you.

I have used carsales.com and car point on ninemsm to buy my last few vehicles and that cuts a lot of time.
