Help Me Choose A New Daily

[R33_Rob]

Hi Guys,

I need help choosing a new daily car.

It needs to be cheap to buy, maintain, insure etc etc.

Im only going to own it for 6-9 months while i save for my R34 GTR.

So throw in any ideas you might have

[ZENNON]

FWD 4Cyl

type your price into car sales and see what it has

[R33_Rob]

I was thinking around 6K maybe

[Isola]

Suzuki Swift (if they're in that price bracket)

NX Coupe

Or see if you can find a mighty racing 'woo like mine

[Bunta]

Get an excel cheap and nasty but i had one i couldnt kill, 40,000km service intervals FTW

[Brandon]

Hyundai Excel!

You'll have spare for insurance etc if you get that. Cheap to run and quite reliable too. I've got 3 uni friends that got them and not much problem selling too (they probably made a loss of 100-300 after using it for 2yrs).

[jaxt]

what about reliability?

honda CRX with vtec preferably

nissan bluebird with the KA24DE

camry (is 'camries' the plural version?)

but as zennon alluded to there are plenty at carsales.

[jaxt]

excels are hard to kill too 4 some reason

[Bunta]

they are reliable becasue they are so basic! its very easy to fix stuff yourself if it doeas break too

[defari]

corolla ftw..

my cousin bought one for 1500 bucks about 10 months ago, runs to redline all day everyday, he's crashed it twice and it still goes fine.. cheap as chips to run.

edit just saw your budget is 6k..

go for a ae101 toyota levin.. 120kw's, 180torques.. will redline to 8400rpm all day everyday...

4 grand more to put towards the GT-R...

[Danski]

Holden Gemini - Lasted me 12mths . . . Only did 2 oil changes . . . Paid $500 and sold it for $400

[brizzy_rocker]

DONT SELL THE 33 MAN!!!!!!!!!!

you have the rest of your life to buy a R34 GTR lol

[Col-GTSX]

excel... cheap, easy, about a million of them to choose from, pretty user friendly, easy to fix if broken, did i mention cheap...

also, something no one has pointed out yet... when you buy and excel you will be even more motivated to save faster to get the R34 cause you will be embarrassed...

[jaxt]

lol true that

[yaface]

Hey Rob, wonder who gave you the idea to get the 34 gtr

[R33_Rob]

Thanks for the suggestions guys, really dont want an excel though.

My concern with the excel is that I will f**king die if i have a crash.

Just found out that i can pay an extra $1000.00 to insure my mums Audi TT with Just Car which means ill be able to drive it until I get the GTR.

Think thats the way ill go. All its gonna cost me is a $1,000 (cause ill only need 1 year to save the money) + fuel

Sounds like a win to me

When I had my other skyline I brought the 34 (non turbo, auto at the time) to be my daily but I couldn't help myself converting it ... So definantly get something you don't want to do up lol

[Deano32]

would suck getting soemthing and then spending coin on it
