Should be in Christchurch sometime next week so I'll be looking for a motor.
Cant (at the moment) decide between a banger/backpacker wreck for a few months or just buy something I'm likely to keep.
If its a wreck I dont care realy, so long as it doesnt fall apart and passws WOF's without much trouble.
A keeper? looking for something < $10k initialy. Prefer manual but auto would be ok so long as its not gutless.
Quite fancy a subaru legacy tye (as everyone has em, easily fixed etc) looks like I could get a mid/late 90's GT-B or something - what are they like on petrol (when not thrashed), most seem to be 100k-160k how long do the turbo's/transmission etc last?
City runabout - focus/mondeo sized FWD town car, less enamoured of this because I'll want to get out and about, camping/skiing etc.
Rav4 - prolly a 3 door SWB, not quick but usefull and 'car like' for a 4x4.
I'll probably be buyung a track car/weekend toy at some point so I dont need the daily driver to be quick, just able to pull a boat etc if needed, enough room to go camping (may end up backpack camping so may not need much space, reliable and less thirsty than my previous RX8, also would like a decent range out of the tank no matter how it drinks, 300-350miles minimum.
No yute! Whatcha recon?
