I work for a group training company called VICTEC. They basically sub-contract you out to anyone that needs work, and I have been with the same company my entire apprenticeship.
They also offer pre-apprenticeships if you are interested. PM me if you are and I can give you the number
My opinion is a bit biased, but you could always get a 180sx or a 180sx Type-X in that price range. If it's the earlier model, then for around 18-19k you could very well pick one up that has 200rwkw+
Man I got ripped on insurance by them :lol:
I'm 21, one claim, and am paying $2.6k to insure my 180sx.
When renewal comes though, I'm going to look into other companies.
Try Advanced Alloy Wheel Repairs in Morabbin. I had a couple of gutter marks on my Racing Harts there and they fixed them PERFECTLY Only drawback is they apparently are more pricier than other places, but to me it's worth it.
