vans are really dear to buy for what they are $10000 probably wont get you much . A large car wagon is really cheap as nobody wants them as they use more fuel but you wouldnt use $1000 extra fuel in fact probably less fuel than a van . In vic roadworthy is $80 rego about $500.00 if you have to pay it and stamp duty on transfer $8.00 per $200 of the price of the car . transfer fee is $31.20 . the car should come with a road worthy or the plates removed which means you have to buy new plates as well as pay rego and road worthy as well as get the car up to standard (see VicRoads site ) The market in darwin isnt too good as lots of people end up there to sell but not many start.so few buyers The car needs to be in good mechanical order as distances between centres is huge and repair costs and times are very high in the remote areas
