90's mustangs (which are nuggets :banana: ) can be had for cheap as over there!!

When I was there a couple weeks back, on La Brea Ave - from bascially a few km's out of LAX to Hollywood, I lost count how many used car dealerships there are!!

and thats just that road....used car market is MASSSSIVE there!

im sure you'll have no drama's getting a good car :D

Due to work, I may be getting shipped off to LA for a couple of years. While I'm out here for this trip I figured I would go and do a little browsing over the car market to see what I may end up buying if I end up out here long term. (Don't worry Steve. GTR ain't going up for sale).

Pheeew!

Would be a shame to see it go :blink:

Id go a Caddy :D

you gotta get something you can't get anywhere else.

the bonus is you get to bring it back to australia for $3k and no taxes and maybe make a profit.

You're in LA, always sunny, always parking, valet outside every restaurant, so get this for $15k:

Surely you would go buy a Corvette, LS6 or lower perhaps..

That or a saleen or other musty.

Buy a house too because the market is piss week some people are selling up for $1000!

Everyone is broke so make sure you take them for all they are worth haha

over there, a hearse looks different. You haven't seen six feet under?

well over here.........it looks like a HEARSE!

no i havent seen 6 feet under

yeah i agree with you on that one.

the most sensible thing is to just forget about WASTING money on a car...

buy one to get you from A - B...

save up to buy a property... yeah ive read an article on how cheap properties are in USA at the moment.

and plus you'd probably never would be able to own a house in australia, like many young generations here.

oh well

the choice is yours

well the way i look at it.....ur wrong

the Miata IS, the MX5 with a different name

and in japan apparently its called "Roadster"..its only called mx5 in aust

just like the Toyota Yaris.........its still called "Echo" in some countries...

and "Vitz" in various others......

and in north america its called "Belta" and asian countries "Vios"

Agreed, they're all facts, apart from the mx5 only in Aust bit. I also apologise for the confusion my sarcasm has caused.

They look good in pics......but after driving one i can definatly say you'll regret buying it after having the r32

Got recent pics of R32?

I wish I had some. I had the car all washed before I left AU and forgot. When I get back I may get a professional spread done (need a poster for my wall :D )

Mustangs are everywhere in cali. After a month you will be sick of seeing them. They're like seeing a ford falcon in sydney.

I went and visited the Turbonetics factory in Simi Valley and one of the dudes wanted to trade me his mustang for an R32.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
