Purchasing a campervan in Australia
Upvote:4
would have to agree with the above answer. Gumtree is a good place to start your search for a camper or travel van purchase in that price range. Listings from private and commercial sales yards.
They have created a very thorough guide to campervan purchases as well, to avoid a dud; http://blog.gumtree.com.au/backpacker-guide-buying-van-aussie-road-trip/
Also a good place to resell after your trip. Not sure about depreciation. Depends on the model you purchase and condition / kms on the clock.

Gumtree's where it's at for both travellers and locals in Australia, it's the local version of Craigslist and Ebay rolled into one.
As for what the "right" price, you're buying a used car here, with all the caution that warrants. But a few pointers:
- Red Book is the standard source for used car values in Australia, although it'll be of limited use for highly customized vehicles like campervans.
- You'll definitely want to check out the vehicle's registration history and possibly get a pro to look at the vehicle itself. CarsGuide has a handy checklist, the exact registration details vary considerably by state of registration.
- Try to avoid buying a car that's not registered in the state you're currently in, reregistering it in a new state entails a lot of expensive bureaucracy.
