Recommend Me A Cheap Run-a-round Car.

[Musky]

Hey guys.

Now as much as i love driving my 33, i've come to realise i drive it too much and want to look after it as much as i can.

And so i have decided on buying myself a 2nd car. I'm obviously looking for something reliable and cheap to run. I dont care about looks etc...

I know it depends on the previous owners and how well it has been looked after but im just after a general idea.

I have heard that the old Corrolla is a reliable car as with the Ford Lasers and TX5's.

If any have you have a cheap old shitty run a round let me know of your experiences.

So any suggestions will be appreciated. Will hopefully be getting something before the weekend....

Cheers

get an excell sprint... its cheap.. runs on an oily rag.. and when theres a problem with it over 1000 bucks throw it away

even though its an hyundai.. it is a good run around car if you throw oil at it and dont race it.

3000-5000 clams will get you one with under 100,000kms on it.. who cares what it looks like.. just dont rice it up

Suzuki Swift

The spec'd up version has good power and it runs on NOTHING!!!! my mate had one for 6 months and loved the thing. Black ones dont look half bad either

[urtwhistle]

suzuki mighty boy ftw

Whats your budget?

[kralster]

Get a small motorcycle, if you just want it as a daily driver/rider it's damn cheap. And when it rains just take the car to work.

I personally do the opposite.

Have a car for daily duties and a bike for fun.

But they are damn cheap to register, and run, well little bikes are. My 750 is quite expensive when it comes to tyres etc.

or Daihatsu Handivan... can fit thru any space

[Big Rizza]

I've got a Toyota Yaris for daily duties and it's fantastic, although being brand new it was hardly "cheap." Perhaps the previous model Echo would suit?

Deffinately !!!, I have heard from countless people about the bullet proof reliability of these things, some are a little expensive for their age on carsales, but look after them and they will go forever!!

To me for around the $3 - $5k mark you cannot go past this car!

[Gazee]

Pulsar N14... reliable and cheap!

But corolla is good too!

[monga]

n12 pulsar was my first run around great on fuel but the cops took it off me, iv upgraded to a 89' pulsar now for 600dollars in blue colour and mint condition its great

[88silhouette]

r31 skyline mate

from an auto executive model, up to the silhouette range, GREAT runabouts

and surprisingly fuel efficient even though they are 3ltr straight 6

silhouette models are LSD (most worn out) and trip computers etc

BEST seating position out of many cars that i have sat in, also quite good if you;re a tall or big bloke

the wagons are good for throwing a lot of shit in the back.

19 15" rims to be precise

if you're after a reeeeeally nice 31 runabout, this is the series 3 ti model

trip computer, auto, full electronic options and plus interior

top car

above all, the ladies love em

[Munkyb0y]

any corolla

u cant kill those little f**kers, they run forever.
