Living in country towns does have its small drawbacks, namely the supply of vehicles you are wanting to look at, and the thought of spending couple of days in Sidney or Milborne give me the heegie beegies.
So when trying to select a car/ute with definite ideas is it worth while using a broker (if there are such things reliable) how does warranty work in that case, IF I want to go warranty. The way I understand if something dies or breaks the car yard wants the vehicle back. Another question what I am after is very limited in its color choice so a repaint or vinyl wrap is a possible !!! option but then the original colour is still under the arches, engine bay etc. How detrimental is that when on selling again. How well do vinyl wraps survive in country towns/roads etc

Don’t underestimate the cost of a decent wrap job. It should look good for at least 4-6 years, that will see you nearly on the wrong side of 50.
I thought you were going to be holidaying - not car hunting? |

Talk to your local car dealers, they can source vehicles for you, they have access to all the upcoming cars via auctions etc - save getting a broker and your dealing local so you have the warranty
There are brokers, but probably none in Pt Lincoln

Has the rain affected your travel plans, Tonz? I see a few roads are washed out.
