决定买车了，想通了。

australiaed

来了2个月了，刚来时，认为家里有台车了（老婆上下班开），我反正也暂时不会找到合适的工作，就没想买车这事。但是现在越来越觉得还是有个车好了。

这里没车的感觉和国内不太一样，国内我开车，但是奥运期间不开车，也满好，可是来了这里以后，我发现没车还真别扭，总感觉自己每天有走不完的路。

所以决定还是顶着经济危机的压力买个二手车吧，毕竟它可以带来更高的效率。

想买个1万左右的，小排量，2。0以下的，我个人认为由于经济形式不好，所以圣诞节后价格还会降，大家帮我分析一下把！

Since you are looking at used car market, I have to remind you one thing, local people like to buy cars before Xmas, so if you start looking after Xmas you will find that there won't be many good ones around to choose from.

I speak from the experience I had last year just before the new year, friend of mine migrated to Australia around Xmas and wanted a car, I went along to help them pick a car from dealers and found that the good ones all been bought so the choice is rather limited. We went to a dealer that only got like 8-10 cars left in their yard, and he told me they sold somewhere around 80cars just before Xmas so there's not much left to choose from.

Of course with the finacial situation now people will be more cautions with their money so it could be different this year. I would think the price may well be a bit better after Xmas, but then you may find yourself looking at slightly less desirable cars.

i do not think so for upstairs, i recon there are more price drop during next year, as car industry is under lots of pressures on sales. have a look car auction on Folwers, there are plenty of new car sitting there waitting for purchase.
financial pressures are significant fact to driving people behaviour.

I understand your point motojazz, there is indeed great pressure on dealers to shift cars at the moment, but that is because the sale perfomace in the 1st half of the year is so good that they got huge order for the 2nd half of the year, but as we all know how the situation had turned out.

Now they are over stocked so they have to do sales so they can get rid of their stock(Think about it, they bought their cars on credit, what you think the credit crisis will affect them?), so it is a great time to buy NEW CARS.In the new year they will simply reduce their production volume to keep their price steady. And as I said, they will face foreign exchange pressure as well.

Anyway, my argument only apply to new car market, not necessary suitable for used car market... and LZ is looking for used cars. I think will just delete the 1st half of my post so it won't confused people.
