Having recently gone through this process, recommend you also keep an eye out for cars over east.
Some forums to browse include rexnet.com.au and wrx.com.au Look for cars from Melbourne or Sydney as transport costs will only be about $1200 - $1400. QLD is prohibitively expensive...upwards of $2K. Cars are significantly cheaper over there and there are a lot more to choose from.
Of course get it checked out yadda yadda if buying privately. To give you an example I pulled the pin at the last minute on a 2011 premium sedan for $28K
