Good Daily

[Spetz]

Hi guys,

I am looking into what daily car to buy.

What I want in it:

Reliability

Comfort

Cheap parts/maintenance

Presentable

Practicality

My budget is to be around the 7K mark and I am looking to purchase around September 2012.

At the moment I am really liking a 2002 Mitsubishi Verada. What are peoples opinions and suggestions?

I'll sell you my Twin turbo Soarer for $2700

Hard to look past the falcon / commodore for a daily.

parts will be half the price of the Magna/Verada and you will pick up a nice one for $7k

Zebra, I'm not sure I can see myself driving a Ford or a Holden.

With the Soarer, I am specifically looking for sedan cars. An IS200 is on the list of cars but they seem to be out of my price range.

Verada - Yep. or a Falcon BA XT . Good daily's and reliable.

A 380 Magna if you can get one for the price.

What makes a good daily is generally what ever the Taxi companys buy.

Although dont buy an eX taxi - lol

I know of an EF XR8 going cheap in Sydney....like $3300 cheap

The only negative of the Verada is the fuel economy however I think it makes up for it in comfort and it's ability to tow up to 1,500kg.

No V8s thanks Zebra, this is a daily beater I am looking for

Mitsubishi 380's have the worst build quality, I wouldn't go near one. VZ Commodore exec? Lot of car for the money, VY Berlina something a bit cruisy? R33 4 door if you can find one? Ugly as hell though.
