Cheap on fuel $40 = 600ks, more if its a MHD (start stop crap) so they wont bother me when they need fuel
Wont take up a full car space on the driveway, more room for my cars Plastic panels for all those love taps that happen while still learning, stay neat looking for longer Rear engine rear wheel drive 2 seater with paddle shifts like a Ferrari , similarity stops there, but good selling point Cheap to service, only 3 spark plugs Has heated seats, air con, electric windows, Abs brakes Is a manual with no clutch pedal, can be driven as a Auto when you feel lazy. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...gType=showcase |

I had an apprentice who had saved up 8k for his 1st car. His parents said theyd match the 8k but they chose the car. So if he took the deal he would get a 16k car. The only bargaining chip he had was it had to be a manwell. I knew this blokes dad from working on site with him and in his dads words, he drove like a dick. So his parents being wise towards safety chose a then newish 4 door toyota yaris yrs, so the 1.5L with a manwell. Yeah 16k is above the criteria of this thread. The young bloke didnt crash it. He did however blow the clutch. He did the same in one of the work vans. Only a few weeks after that van got fixed he hit 2 cars in it. So his dad wasnt wrong, the kid drove like a dick. So taking over was probably a smart parenting move by getting him something small and safe.
I didnt think i would, but after a week in a 1.3L yaris courtesy car, i like them. Yeah they're slow, but so convenient when it comes to parking. |

When I was 17, I was looking at a 76 Maserati Merak that a Used car dealer we did work for had in his yard, it was $9800, bank said no, so ended up buying a $#!t metalic brown 318 auto VK wagon for $1200, I wasted some tyres in that thing , still would have preffered the Merak (only for the chick pulling capacity, the old Val was a deterrent)
