Buying First Car!

[Vrooom!]

Hey guys, dont know if i posted this wright, but anyway. Im 16 and going to buy my first car, unlike every other kid my age i f**ken hate holden comodarbs and ford f**kens

I want to buy either a Skyline, 200sx, 180sx or a Supra, ive looked on carsales and theres abit, but im woundering if any of u guys have any cars u want to get rid of, or know of a mate selling his.

At the moment i have over 4grand but i work full time so im getting there, the car id prefer would have less than 165,000 km's, i dont care at all about the exteriour, (paint, hail damage, dents, broken bodykit ect) it dosent matter to me, because were i work i can fix all of it VERY CHEAP as ill be pimpin it out anyway with bodykit, spoiler, rims, paint and tinted windows, as far as the interior gose, dont realy care ethier.

The only thing i care about is the engine and running gear, i dont want one with a shitload of km's, i just want it to be a relyable car that hasnt been thrashed to much, also it has to be registerd.

So if anyone is selling there car or has a mate selling his, please let me know, it would be great if i could get one for like 4 grand or a bit more cause thats what i got now,,

Thanks

looking in the 4 sale section would be a good start, goodluck. dont forget to look at other things like insurance as well.

Mate,going from personal experience,I'd stick to a cheap basic car. I'm the same age as you and in some ways I regret buying a R33 turbo as my first car.

The main reason being is that it costs a S*** load in petrol,and I'm on basic pay which doesn't help. It works out better in the long run to save that money wasted in general expenses in maintaining such a car,which will come in handy later on down the track. Besides,it's always better to learn to drive in a not so flash car and build up experience in that.If you happen to have a crash in the earlier stages of driving (not saying that you will), its better a crap car than a nice import,right? Then when you get your full license you'll have the reward of upgrading to a performance vehicle .

All I can say is don't rush into buying something that seems dodgy or not what you really want, if it means waiting just that little bit longer for something more worth while then do that. When I was buying my first skyline the one I really wanted costed just a little bit more, but being freshly imported from japan with complete history and in way better condition meant I felt that much better handing over my hard earned cash
