The Ultimate Guide to Buying a Car in Bumson Village: Tips & Tricks
On November 3rd, I officially relocated to Brisbane and hit the ground running by diving into the process of finding a rental place and purchasing a car. After some careful consideration, I’ve set my sights on a mid-size SUV, and I’m planning to visit a Mazda dealership on November 6th to check out their offerings.
Initially, the base model was priced at over 70,000 AUD, but thanks to a year-end sales push, the price has been reduced by 15%. Unfortunately, a business trip delayed my ability to pick up the car, so we scheduled another meeting for today to finalize the details and sign the contract. The final price of the vehicle is 64,990 AUD.
This particular car was manufactured in July, arrived in September, and has only 35 kilometers on the odometer. It comes with several additional features, including floor mats, a trunk mat, window tinting, and 3 years of free maintenance.
During the meeting, a salesperson presented me with a range of optional extras, such as interior and exterior protection, front and rear dash cameras, a scratch maintenance membership, and front window tinting. In the end, I opted for just the front dash camera. I put down a 2,000 AUD deposit and will be picking up the car on Monday.
I’m thinking about buying a used car myself, so it’s helpful to hear about your experience with the year-end sales push. Do you think the Mazda dealership in Bumson Village is a good place to start, or should I look around more first? It sounds like the price drop made a big difference for you. Good luck with the purchase!
Thanks for your comment! The Mazda dealership in Bumson Village was a great starting point for me, especially during the year-end sale. However, I’d recommend checking a few other places too to compare prices and options—it can make a big difference. Best of luck with your search, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions!
