Just four wheel drives
everywhere !
The new car market is awash
with just whatever trends suit the manufacturers but for the buyer of a used 4x4
the market is full of peaks and troughs.
Hummer in
Australia
Hummer

Always remember when buying an
off road or four wheel drive commercial that the previous owner was not the
little old school teacher who just drove to the shops on Saturday, but usually a
person who bought it for the purpose for which it was built.
Here we must assume that the
4x4 vehicle if graced with a history of very light usage will be a better
proposition from the vehicle that has been towing 2.5 tonne around the country
side. Be aware of history!! We hope that just 4x4 sales helps in your purchase
of your new Australian just 4x4 vehicles.
Upon
the proposed purchase of an off road 4x4 vehicle be aware of the vast array and
assortment of vehicles available and on offer.
LPG for
Diesel
The first thing you will learn
is that there will only be one that will suit your every need and that one may
be difficult to locate. Occasionally some compromise may be needed to find the
vehicle that matches your own personal needs to the generic requirements for the
purpose for which it will be used. No point towing that 2.4 tonne boat with a
Suzuki Sierra UTE even if it has the correct fuel consumption. Obviously
practical needs rate highly on the purchase of your 4x4 vehicle.
Buying that 4x4
Note as the 4x4 sales market is
changing especially in Australia some 4x4 style vehicles are or soon will
be available in a 4x2 configuration. This can be added value for the buyer
wanting a 4x4 vehicle for reasons other than having a off road capability.

Just 4x4 ....Buy four wheel
drives with caution
In Australia any information
relating to capacities and modifications must conform with your local government
laws and regulations. Just 4x4 sales Australia tries to generalize but please
check with your local state govt. or motoring body to confirm relevant
information. Buying a
4x4
Motoring bodies include RAA,
RACQ, NRMA, RACV, Check you local for Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney,
Darwin NT, Canberra( NSW), Hobart and Brisbane.
Also when you are able local
govt motoring bodies offer V check, investigate this option for
checking vehicles history and write off status. Go to VIC ROADS, Motor reg S.A
, QLD transport or similar in your sate or territory .Baby
car seats tests and videos
Just 4x4 ....Some things to look out for.
-
Popular make. Try and stay
with the most popular in the price range you are aiming at.
-
History, avoid harsh or
unconfirmed history, look hard and make an unemotional decision.
-
Consider the ease of repairs,
parts and servicing on the vehicle.
-
Consider the possible
resale if you plan on owning it for under 3 years.
-
Workability..... ensure the
vehicle does what you want it to do!
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT AUCTIONS
Shop around find a reputable
4x4 dealer. Look towards maybe government auctions. Beware the private
vehicles sold by Auction. If buying by auction try to ascertain vehicle
condition and be fully aware that you are buying the vehicle as is and no
warranty is applicable, plus check the additional costs eg. buyers premium
that auctions will put onto the final bid price. Also be aware of additional
GST (Australia) that may be charged.
If buying a late model
Australian 4x4 look towards the franchise dealer that offers after sale
service. Know what you want and don't fear negotiating for that great deal on
your new four wheel drive. Use Auctions for market information.
