Hi all, looking for some advice here: TLDR - Essentially moving to Oz, Brisbane next month, and looking to get a Ute as a first car.

Context:

Ive spent a total of 6 months over the last couple years in Oz, driving hire cars etc - both Work and Holidays. I am now moving to the country. I've never owned a car before, but will obviously need a car. I am looking at getting a Ute. I've been 4WD before and will definitely want to get in to it, hence the choice of a Ute. (27M btw)

Now I open the floor to you guys, I appreciate any and all advice. I guess my top 3 questions would be:

  1. Where is the best place to look for second hand Utes. FB Marketplace, Dealerships, Car Sales AU?

  2. What should I be looking for car wise?

  3. Basic mechanical tips?

Also: If I find a Ute, what should I be looking for before pulling the plug!

Thanks all! Sorry if this isnt the correct subreddit, also open to any links or websites for more info on the above, I know so many people have done this before, so Im here to learn!
