Hiya,
I figure someone may have a car laying around they want to get rid of!

After a 4 seat , Manual , NON turbo version of any of the following

FC Rx7
Sa22c
BMW 3 series (E36 (1991) or later)
Alfa Romeo 156
Mitsubishi FTO (92 or later)
Honda Integra (1995 or later)
Honda Civic (1995 or later)
Some other cars similar to the above MAY be considered...

I am after a genuinely CLEAN car...I have been looking at cars advertised as clean, and when I turn up it looks like a pack of monkeys have been living in them for 6 months, with daily sojourns clinging to the outside of the cars paintwork whilst holding sharp objects!

I will go up to around $5000 for a decent car (Obviously I am not after a M3 BMW with 50 kms on the clock for that price! I am a realist...but I will keep looking for a decent car until I find one :) )

Please contact me via this forum if possible...or phone me on 0407284930 after hours :)
Preference will be given to a car in NSW...but I will consider one from anywhere in Australia if the car is worth it!

Hi Sandy,
i d say either the Honda Civic or Integra be the car of choice.
Both very ultra reliable and economical and cheap to purchase.
If you want local Aussie built cant go past a VL commodore 3.0ltr :nod::muppetbiggrin:

I've had 4 adults in an FC, kind of squishy, but thats the same for all two door cars.
Most of those cars will be owned by P platers, so good condition might be hard to find lol.

NON turbo Daff.....

And if you think I will be in the slightest bit interested by an old rattly impreza think again :)
I would prefer an old Dak Dak over an older scooby...

Had a look at a roofless Ford Laser today (Capri)...if I could find one of them I think they would be ok too.....but I am not going to spend more than 2k for an old crapi! (1990 style anyways...the old 60's style I love...but Ella wont be able to drive lol)

Old Mini. Would be perfect for a shorty, and they are fairly easy to maintain.

Wasn't Mike selling his yellow one?

She thinks a Mini is ugly... yet you're going to look at THAT POS Alfa...?

I think she shouldn't have a say in the matter.

But he likes Ferrari's. I mean anyone that LIKES Italian cars has serious issues. They're worse than French cars simply because they themselves ADMIT they are shit, yet sell them at a premium for your trouble. The French know they make shit but they don't admit it.
