Car through work

[DrewChan]

Mini?
Don't do it....

Astra G (1998~2004) is the one before the Astra H. See, where VW still counts in numbers (Golf is currently at 6) Opel counts in letters, so Corsa is currently at D (mk4) and Astra is currently at J (mk9, they skipped over I).

Ah thanks for the explanation.

I want something small and fun and a bit different OPC fits the bill but don't think I can go over 150k.

This.

This.

with that mileage and location

that car has probably been off that clock a few times

I was itching to start a new thread for this but thought, nah, anyway - why should I NOT buy a 350z,

After a little research:

Nice looking car
Comfortable
Sporty
Cheapish upkeep - Approx 2k a service.
Parts-??? Dunno
Fuel Consumption - approx 10km L - A little heavy but it will only be a weekend car (I take the bus to work)

Looks like my price range will get me a 2004 model with approx 100k on the clock

Anyyyway thoughts?

Go for it. If you don't need the extra doors of course.

Yeah I call lies on that mileage, doesn't help anyway, if I want the awesome interest rate I need to go through a dealer - which will probably push the price up

you have a budget of 200k ?

 

[DrewChan]

150 - 160 max

The lowest that the green bank can offer staff is the FBT rate - which is most often prime - 2.5.

So if you have any tips on getting prime - 4 do share!

You are right. Double checked this morning.

 

[Dreamer]

Wa-ha-ha this is hillarious!

Drinking non-alcoholic beer is like going down on your Sister... It sure tastes the same.. But that sh*t aint right!

 

[Rouxenator]

OK, within budget and a very good car : http://www.reeds.co.za/used-vehicles/2007-opel-astra-twintop-18-enjoy-u47579

Slightly above budget but a great car : http://www.reeds.co.za/used-vehicles/2006-chevrolet-lumina-ss-57-uv5218

Way above budget but its so mental you just got to take a look : http://www.reeds.co.za/used-vehicles/2008-chevrolet-lumina-ss-60-ute-at-pu-sc-u47806

THIS THIS THIS

thats my dream... one day

the seats goes nicely back and enough room for me since im tall

 

[Rouxenator]

That Ute makes so much sense, 6.0L V8, because sometimes 5.7L just ain't enough.

I am horrendously difficult only car I kinda like there is the Opel and the Tigra looks better - Although the Astra is the better car.
Just realised I cant have a convertible if I want to fit my disgustingly loud sound system in.

Which is more important

Just go test drive some of them. You will quickly form slightly more informed opinions.

+1 Especially the ones with Corvette engines, like the Lumina

what sound system and they can do it for you ...just costs alot and no boot

+1 Especially the ones with Corvette engines, like the Lumina

i sat in one and the power is too much and that was the older ones

the wheels just spin

 

[DrewChan]

Competition sound - its actually the system from my sx - about 20k's worth.

 

[DrewChan]

Talking to friend that bought the SX - he reckons 350z is the best choice...
