Before announcing the best choices for October 2008 (and there hasn't been much change at all), I thought I'd go through the news in terms of car deals/sales in Canberra this month:
- The Chrysler Sebring now has an alarm included as standard
- Dodge are running a deal where the Caliber and Avenger get free alloys.

- The new Holden Barina is now available so the price is up to $15,990, however no new technical specs have been posted on the website yet.
- The Holden Viva's price has been reduced to $16,990
- The Holden Astra now doesn't include alloy wheels as standard
- The Holden Epica has dropped in price from $27,990 to $25,990

- The Jeep Compass (which is almost identical in specs with the Jeep Patriot) has
been added to the evaluation database
- The Toyota Camry is on special: An Altise Auto will go for $27,990
- The Suzuki SX4 S Sedan has been reduced to same price as base model ($19,990)

- The new Renault Koleos compact SUV has been added to the evaluation database.
- Painting costs are extra on Mazdas so evaluation database has been changed
accordingly.
- Citroen, Fiat, Kia and Peugeot failed to post October Offers in time so prices
quoted are normal RRP for these manufacturers.
