My suggestion would be to buy a cheap banger and drive that for a few years until you have a bit of experience under your belt. The amount of young blokes that prang their first cars is very high. If you've just paid for something that is expensive, your asking for grief.
Just my opinion though.
Cheers, Skip. [/QUOTE]yeah I'm deffinatly considering that
how much would you pay for something like that? [/QUOTE]Giday Intrepid,
Been living in the UK for the last 10+ years, so haven't a clue what the price of second-hand cars are now. I'd have thought $1000 would be plenty to pick up a good condition old Holden or Ford. If you like your wheels hot, you can't go far wrong buying a HR or even EJ/EH Holden for peanuts and spend a bit doing her up. You mentioned mechanics in the family. Spare parts are dirt cheap and the engine is a block with a carbie on top, and an exhaust out the bottom. Basic! Even a monkey can work on them, unlike modern cars which you need a degree to understand, and even then, when you adjust one thing it puts everything else out of whack! The money you have left, (you mentioned something like 5-6000 I seem to remember) invest it in land. You can't lose.
Cheers, Skip.
