2) Next a car is bought when it passes Australia’s strict laws and after test drives and more. Australians choose to buy new cars most frequently using online websites and car dealerships. People consider things like favorite makes and models, safety features, fuel efficiency and then price. In order to be legally driven people need to register the car and have insurance.
