moving to something smaller and cheaper to run?
|
10:17am 16/01/13 Permalink
Yep. Smaller/Cheaper/Economical. Sick of owing money on cars and wasting my money. Also heading overseas and want the money. It's been a good car to me and I am sad to let it go. <3.

what are you looking at (or already got to replace it)
|
10:31am 16/01/13 Permalink
No thoughts yet. I am most likely going to buy a second hand car around the 3-5 k mark. I want something reliable (for the price...), easy for me to work on myself and also a car I can learn with! My mechanic skills could use improving. I was thinking about a toyota.

oooooh, a corolla!
i cant even begin to imagine how fancy a corolla you could get for 3k! |

Combined fuel use of 14l per 100km - she's frugal!
|
02:28pm 16/01/13 Permalink
my new car does on the sticker 5.9, but my dash after 1200km's says 6.4 :(
Or in other words it's around $1 for every 10km's i drive @ 1.50 per L? Better than the soarer she takes around 5 dollars every 10km. :s she's a bit unhealthy. Working on that now i can take it off the road though. |

My car is too old to give me any fancy millage readings. But it's a 2.2 4cyl, so I think I'm ok.

Hahaha love the close up of the sick exhaust! Just trying to get it sold mate :). I don't have a hard on for it, but it is a nice sounding exhaust and if you are into V8's, you would get it. Spook - What Corolla should I get? Will it come with a lifetime guarantee? |
02:40pm 16/01/13 Permalink
Toyota is one of the worst for warranty periods. Nissan offered me 4 years manufacturer warranty with 6 years on top dealership warranty. Hyundai offered me 5 years manufacturer warranty. Toyota offered me 3 and for a small fortune, an extension to 5.
Still took the toyota. :s |

1. fill the car until the pump clicks off 2. reset trip meter 3. drive until car needs fuel 4. fill the car until the pump clicks off 5. Note how many litres the car took 6. note how many kilometers are on the trip meter 7. calculate (litres / kilometers)*100 = llitres per 100km. 8. profit. |

not sure if its model specific, but i believe Toyota are offering 1 extra year Warranty (to 4years (still 100,000)).
The new Toyota Access looks pretty decent as well choose car, choose deposit if any, choose how many years + km per year. They say how much they will buy it back for, only pay loan on the difference, when loan ends, either payout balloon and keep/sell, swap for a new toyota. Looking seriously at the Toyota Camry Hybrid Luxury late this year/early next. 5.5l /100km, and fairly decent build, 8 year battery warranty. Last 2 cars have been toyota and they just seem bulletproof. |

i got the hardware model, been super happy with it, even if petal wasnt. White AE92. 16" mags 4AGE "100kw" version bluetooth / ipod head unit fuly sik 12" doof doof (parcel shelf was already there from previous owner, had a spare sub, figured why not) Needed to pass RWC: - 1 tyre - 1 brake light... pfft the thing has 5 f*****g brake lights, like one missing is going to matter but apparently it does - new wiper blades and he reckons the CV boot is leaking, I reckon it's not, it's just all the grease coming out because I packed that f***** too full when I put it all back together and the excess grease has forced its way out. Either way I have a spare CV boot I'm contemplating putting on if it is broken, otherwise it just needs cleaning off. Also have a big box full of spare s*** and the 4 original 14" alloy rims, 2 with near new tyres, spare instrument cluster, spare facia and a spare ECU. Also have a spare head and cam covers. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm190/pointyfork/cars/th_all_zpsc603b145.jpg |

how much are you chasing for that car out of curiosity whoop
|
06:57pm 16/01/13 Permalink
I dunno, you see them all over carsales for $1500 - $5000, I was thinking somewhere in the middle. Maybe stick 2 or 3k on it and let someone haggle a bit. There's always that guy who rocks up & goes "I'll give you $1900 cash right now".
I've got about 12 more days to fix the crap on it & get the final inspection done before I can sell it rego'd though. |
07:11pm 16/01/13 Permalink
2k? thats an outrageously expensive price!
glad i got the hardware model! |
08:17pm 16/01/13 Permalink
lul
are you really bro? i highly doubt that but buying the first car you looked at was the smartest plan |
08:30pm 16/01/13 Permalink
i looked at other cars, but they wanted too much money.
|
09:00pm 16/01/13 Permalink
when they have prices attached and price is all important, it does.
|
10:45pm 16/01/13 Permalink
^^ same. Although I do like the fact the econobox goes more than 200kms before I have to fill it up again.
Difference being whoever buys mine will have a car they can just go and drive, and a boot full of spare parts, and another set of rims instead of a rusty s***box that's full of holes that's probably a deathtrap.2k? thats an outrageously expensive price! |
10:51pm 16/01/13 Permalink
for that price, they would want to!

All you people getting older and trading your hoon mobiles for more sensible cars. I've done the reverse :/ don't worry bro i'm not about to sell my car for some eco-s****** |
07:59am 17/01/13 Permalink
Its not about the environment, it's about the money. I sat down and worked out how much it was costing me and there is more to life than cars I decided. Plus I have to grow up and become more responsible, I am even consolidating my super. So many chores to do. Getting older is no fun.

The new Toyota Access looks pretty decent as well There is two ways to look at this: 1) The car is basically a mobile phone plan, you go from model to model. 2) The car is on a huge balloon lease, where after 4 years you restart the whole thing, kind of like a lease car but without any salaray sacrifice lowering of income etc. I basically couldn't figure whether to go 0% for 4 years or toyota access for 4, but i guess it works like this: if you keep your car low KM's and clean, you probably would be better off selling it outright after 4 years for more than the balloon is worth. But you did pay upfront money to get there. So you have to discount the cost back to compare. It's actually a really complicated thing, so in the end i went with the good finance rate and outright ownership after 4 years, because all the figures are too guesstimatey to use finance calculations with any kind of meaning. Just understand that you never own the car unless at the end of the 4 year access you pay out the 8k or 16k or whatever the agreed final value is. Edit: don't worry bro i'm not about to sell my car for some eco-s******Well, if this is Pave's advice, what could possibly go wrong.......... |
08:06pm 17/01/13 Permalink
apart from upgrading to a gtr of some kind at some point or maybe a 335i or a audi s5 down the track as a daily
i guess it depends on 2 thing: 1. how much you really like cars 2. if you know you'll be capable of earning enough money to do boring responsible s*** and own a not-boring car at the same time |

Yeah thats 640km city with the 2.0L petrol
I've done 700+ driving syd/bne though |
11:17am 18/01/13 Permalink
Tank is 53 litres.
The light came on around 950km from memory. Car was full to, 2 adults, 3 kids and boot full. |
11:21am 18/01/13 Permalink
Stupid f*****g edit.....

Then proceeded to go granny pace around all the corners and as soon as another straight came BAMF! rev limiter. what a f***en tool. There might also have been a dragon |
07:47pm 18/01/13 Permalink
is that a BA thunder ?
i had a hilarious xr6t driver pull up at the lights next to me the other day and do the same thing whoop, i didn't follow him through lights but he nailed it full ball just to get in front of me i just take off like a granny because my f**** given are pretty minimal |
03:28pm 20/01/13 Permalink
Heh yeah I was driving the other day and I saw this car that was obviously less powerful than mine and I thought "who gives a f***". Later I posted about it on the internet.

03:41pm 20/01/13 Permalink
FG series 1.
Only serious complaint so far would be the ZF gearbox in it. I gotta get mine look at because the change down from 2 to 1 is sloooooow when cold. In semi-auto mode the gear change is OK, so I assume the electronic timing settings on it need work. Otherwise the car acts just like you would expect when you plonk a turbo on an xr6. 270kw, still handles like a boat :P I don't see many other xr6 turbos getting around tbqh |
06:14pm 20/01/13 Permalink
you must be blind because they are everywhere
i've seen more xr6t getting around than xr8 for a long time |

07:55pm 20/01/13 Permalink
Yeah barely any xr8s getting around. The falcon is a dying model. No more past 2016 apparently. no quite, that is a media bit trolled out at the end of every falcon model life since the EL sure, the future is unsure, but the falcon is the longest running large car, and the only one left with a true link to the sports cars of the 60's 70's after all, pretty sure the falcon (if you go by early media releases) should be a small front wheel drive car by now |
08:30pm 20/01/13 Permalink
The falcon is a dying model. No more past 2016 apparently.Yeah, this isn't totally correct. No more falcon as a unique model, it'll be a mustang based falcon. So it's just going back to the 60's and 70's shared-model essentially. |
