G`Day,
When you arrive get yourself the following magazines:
"Motorhome & Caravan trader" for 4wd campers
"4x4 trader" for just 4wd.
Take a drive along the Great Eastern Highway, there are a few dealers selling second hand 4x4 mostly ex-rental.
Buy the "The West Australian" newspaper Monday to Saturday. A good day for second hand 4x4´s is on Sundays "The Sunday Times" newspaper.
Check out the ExplorOz web site:
http://www.exploroz.com/ for loads of info about travelling Australia, road conditions, tours etc. etc also has a "for sale" section from 4WD´s to camping gear and lots, lots more.
Last but not least: Check out the following web site
http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Home refine your search to "used cars" in the state of "Western Australia" lots of 4x4 amongst them.
Tip:If you buy a used 4x4 make sure you see the "certificate of roadworthiness" or one better get the car checked out by the RAC (WA)
Read this too: Second Hand Vehicles
Second hand vehicles can be bought from registered used car dealers or privately through advertisements in the West Australian or Sunday Times newspapers.
When purchasing a car privately it is worthwhile ringing the Ministry of Consumer Affairs REVS line on 1300 304024. This is the Registry of Encumbered Vehicles and contains details of vehicles that have money owing on them or are stolen.
Make sure the Police Department is informed on a change of ownership. When the car registration is due you will be informed by the Police Department.
The Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia (RAC WA) offers a vehicle fitness certificate when wishing to purchase a second hand vehicle. There will be a charge for this service. RAC WA can be contacted on 9421 4444.

Hope this helps, Kind regards Aussie1
