Makes no difference how many cars you have in your name, I have 3 atm, the problem is you become classified a dealer when you buy and sell a certain amount of vehicles within a 12 month period :)

Heres my Daily drivers.

2002 TJ Magna Advance

I find for daily drivers I always try to buy late model vehicles from Auction, mostly Pickles, and update every few years. This way you have reliable transport, and do not lose much money at all when updating.

The Magna I have had for 2 1/2 years now, I paid $11750, slapped $2000 of wheels and suspension on it (even though its a daily it has to look good, and be individual!), it literally has 'not' cost me a cent, I should still be able to sell it for between 10-11G, meaning I have lost about $1000 per year which is pretty good.

I will soon update it to the 'Ugly' 04 TL Style Magna which with 50'000kms are going thru auction currently at $12'000 and again slap the 18's etc on it.

The Paj I picked up from Pickles in Sydney for $20'000 around 8 months ago, it is our family vehicle and mainly gets used on weekends, cost $1100 to truck from Sydney.

I work for a car yard and get a company car, so my daily driver is different nearly every day. I wouldnt know what to suggest because they are all so damn BORING to drive! Even after driving so many different cars, every single one leaves me hangin out to get my ass back in the 32.

If you are set on gettin something though an old corolla or corona is probably best

datsun 1200 ute, worked a14 turbo, intercooler etc.

Still pretty cheap to run except for maybe occasionally blowing up a little $50 gearbox that you can carry in one hand, and destruction to tyres.

The old other car was the V8 Volvo station wagon, I still miss it , so much fun...

if your looking for something thats cheap to run petrol wise then go for something like a civic, i got a 95 hatch back, does about 6 litres per 100km, i took my hub caps off, huge tacho and a muffler along with a perofrmance shopping list down each door and some race mirrors and there you have it lol people will laugh but then the look on there faces are pricless when they see your other ride :) , it looks abit like this :)

my dail driver is not exacly a fuel miser I drive a 2005 territory RWD but then I have my reasons for large car. My daughter is in a wheelchair and need the boot space for the chair and the higher ride means its easier to put her into the car.

moral of the story is find a car that is practical to your needs not someone elses you know what size car you want so set yourself a budget and go and test drive a few cars to find out what you like.
