Buying 4WD in Perth and selling in Darwin

You would be better off hiring a car , one way hire

OK then , lets be more realistic then ,your trip is going to be 3986klm nearest route without any detours for seeing things. You say $3500 for a hire car is too much, so if you plan to spend much less than that on a piece of crap , [and honestly thats all your going to get under $6000 ] and expect it to get you through including the Gibb River Road then your looking for trouble,Next you will have Rego/Insurance, Probably a few tyres because a car under $3000 is not going to be really well shod,That's my opinion , you have to make the decision and it's your Dollars.I wish you Luck

As others have said - you are better off hiring from a reputable company like South Perth 4WD Rentals - at least if something goes wrong on your trip they will help you.

Having lived in Darwin, old and crap 4x4 are a dime a dozen, your tripping over them...so don't even expect to get a decent price for one there unless you find an unsuspecting foreign tourist with too much money and no idea...mind you they probably got ripped off in Sydney....hire one....

There is no weekend car market in Darwin either..unless you include leaving your car on the side of the Stuart Hwy in Berrimah with a For Sale sign on it...

EJ wanted to know if anyone could recommend a mechanic in Perth.
To find this answer on ExplorOz you would use the Directory. From the Home Page box, use the Directory pull down category box and select "Servicing". Then to simplify the results list, use the pull down Refine by state/region box and select "WA Coast". From the 4 results, both Robson Brothers 4WD Service and Repair and BEECHBORO 4X4 are companies we can recommend if you wish to support the companies that value the ExplorOz audience enough to advertise themselves here.

(I'm relying on the auto business name hyperlink feature to give you the links to their relevant unique customer pages).

Hope that helps and make sure you tell them where you found 'em!
