1 For Me...
I am thinking about buying a cheap everyday drive and retiring the FTO for a weekender.
Would I get laughed at in this?
I do like it, I reckon it looks cool...

Did you just search for "shittest cars under $2,500K"?
I like the last one though, although not a cheap every day drive haha

The Suzuki would have less to spend on it.Daniel2019 wrote:Go the datto! Don't go the suzuki...
The Datto has quite a bit that needs doing and the parts might be a bit hard to find = $$$$.
It's a complete wreck It would end up costing me $$$$ thousands $$$$.Daniel2019 wrote:http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/gawler/w ... 1033912574

It looks nice from what is shown though.
There are other 300ZX, but they don't look as good.
It might cost a bit to maintain too.

My sister has a 1994 model and it's pretty good for what it is.Astron_Boy wrote:Don't buy the Capri.
You'll regret it.
The earlier models had a few issues with roof leaks and so copped a really bad rep for that.
They corrected the roof leaks in 93 and did a few cosmetic updates.
They have a Mazda B6 engine.
She bought it with 120,000kms on the clock 7 years ago and now it's got 165,000kms and has had absolutely no problems in that time except for a window regulator failing.

I think I might have found a winner, but it will probably be sold before I can get to it.
