Hunting the cheapest car in Australia in 2023? Brand-new, the bargain crown typically sat with the Kia Picanto S manual at roughly $16k–$19k drive-away, with the MG 3 Core auto usually around $19k–$21k depending on promo and postcode.
If your wallet prefers “slightly pre-loved”, tidy 5–10-year-old light hatches (Picanto, i20, Yaris, Barina) often landed between $6k and $12k, with running-but-rough older runabouts from $2k–$5k if you like surprises.
Remember, cheap can become expensive fast—check service history, timing belts, tyres, and rego, and factor in insurance and stamp duty.
