I've talked to the Mrs about the Stagea but she's not keen mate sorry.
The GTR sounds awesome but i'd say it's pretty full on for a daily for me, sorry. I tried to modify the post to specify a couple of car + cash figures, but can't see how.
Would be looking at a clean GTIR or S14 + around $8k, Diesel Crewcab ute + around $8k, Or something like a Mazda 6 luxury sport + cash. Mrs is even keen on a 2000+ Subaru, Accord Euro, V35 4-door etc.
Thanks for looking guys.
