car landed and complied - $15k

3 months rego and stamp duty - approx $650

insurance - approx $1000?

major service - $1350(boostworx)

most likely need new tyres - $800

alarm system if it doesnt already have one - $300-$800

being a fresh import it'll be pretty filthy so needs a good cleanout - $100-$250 depends if you get it done by professional or need to buy stuff to clean it cut and polish etc

^^ $19850 doesn't seem like its not worth the trouble or the money. I mean importing.

Consider how much of that stuff you're going to have to pay with any car you buy tho.

You're always gonna have to pay stamp-duty, insurance, service (though perhaps not a $1350 100,00km service).

So that's what - maybe $2K you're probably gonna need to put into any car you buy on top or the purchase price (depending if you need an alarm, how much servicing it needs, what condition it's in, etc)

Have you considered a sedan Tobias? More car for less $!!!

Family friendly, and still with all the same hardware and very similar cosmetics & contours of the coupe.

I owned a 33 coupe for 8.5 years; I still didnt want to let it go the day I sold it! Bought a sedan 2 days later off another forum member, and I love it. Extremely happy with my decision!

Ive considered a xr6 and xr6t but my mrs said get the car you you want (strange thing to hear at the time). What kinda sedan you thinking ?

what an awesome chick

should buy her a skyline too for being cool

-D

LOL she cant drive manual, and she cant really drive very well for that matter...but shes a keeper.

Bus had its hazards lights on and the mrs was behind it. Indicated and over took the bus (no traffic) and the bus pulled out with the hazards still on. Mrs freaked out and parked on the side of the road and the bus drove off. Called the police they said call transport SA, but good luck getting anything out of them. Cop was correct they just cover their asses. So insurance wont cover it, so have to out our own pocket, of which cant afford.

Posting pics of mrs and me in a min.
