Sites that claim to help save money for car buyers in Australia

G'day,

I haven't used these when I buy a new car every 10 or more years apart (yes, Toyotas).

I'd suspect your sites could be like the hotel booking sites - they don't save you money. You pay less if you go directly to the hotel/motel/B&B since you going direct saves the fee the sites charge the hotel/motel/B&B owner.

A quick squiz at these sites you referenced and Drive did not list a Prius in its Toyota models ( ), and the other site seems oriented toward the power-mad car-buyers and those wanting "old-fashioned" - traditional - cars.

I think you won't get much of a deal on a Prius in Oz unless a dealer has one that is hard to sell in his region (e.g. North Queenslanders are probably not interested in fuel efficiency, as much as horsepower, 4WD and towing capability). A bit like the situation up-over, if I read PriusChat correctly, where interstate travel is necessary to merely get the Prius model being sought .

I had limited choice in buying a 'c' in Sydney last year - I was told there are more Toyota dealers (in NSW?) than Prius c cars are imported each month, so our supply and choice is limited, so deals are in equally short supply.

Good luck with it anyway,

David S.
