Hi David,
Ask all the people you come in contact with if they have a car for sale. The best cars seem to come by word of mouth.
Absolutely avoid used car sales yards.
A very good second hand car can have a mileage of between 30,000 and 70,000kms on the clock. Over 90,000 is starting to age. But, I know of cars that defy this and can still be good for 300,000kms.
Get an inspection before purchase.
If you are mechanically able great, but if not, take someone with you when you go to see a car who is.
All the best,
Cheers
Damien.
