Fail I forgot the link.

This is the phat orthia I was referring to.

How about a Honda Orthia? If you can get past the fact that they're a Honda, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised. Cheap to buy and run, and being Honda they'd be pretty reliable. The 4WD model comes in 2 litre, plus you'd pick up a tidy one for half your budget.

Btw +1 for not buying a Subaru ...

No more turbos, especially not that trusting of the whole manifold warping issue on the GTT, and I'm pretty sure more people thrash GTTs than an old person's H6 subaru haha.

I will look into the Honda option, never even really considered it. Cheers

PS: 2 Ferrari FFs?? YES! Those things are ...

That was the best week of my life

Would like to stay away from turbos to be honest, and the sr20det is brutal on fuel usage, especially in those with the auto trans.

I am actually becoming keener and keener on the H6 the more I read about it, have yet to find any information that is contrary to them being a really reliable and ...

if you are interested in something like that (the Subaru), my girlfriends dad has one hes been making noises about replacing for a while now.

its very similar to the one linked above, that two tone silver and grey, 102km, auto, 3L H6.

i just asked and he said he was looking for around 6500.

PM ...

Back on track ... This is an awesome looking car, turns out claimed petrol usage is only 0.7L/100km higher on the 3L than on the 2L

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-ca ... 356506.htm

From what I've read the 1.8L is GDI (fail) whereas the 2.5 was not.

hahaha fair enough!

Any words of wisdom on legacys or caldinas?

Not sure what that's supposed to mean ...

But yeah I don't really know anything about legnum's except the 1.8L are gutless pieces of shit and suffer chronic carbon buildup, and the 2.5s use a bit of gas ... other than that though I have no knowledge on the v6 engine in terms of reliability etc.

If I can stretch the budget what is the general consensus on one of these? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-ca ... 343555.htm

Insurance is another thing that makes me want a non turbo 2L (max) ... or 2.5L legnum at the most, don't know much about them but if the 2.5L is that GDI nonsense I will be steering well clear.

The suby 2L has an average of 8.7L/100km, and the 1G-FE altezza wagon the same. But the subaru is 4wd ...

2jz use way too much gas for what I am after.

That suzuki tr-4 that was for sale on here was up my alley actually. Damn haha

Haha yeah sorry about the length of OP but it was to prevent questions such as that haha ...

Why do you say that about the legacy? I did some research and found that blown HG are a problem but only on the 2.5L really as it is just a bored out 2L shortblock and the HG is too thin to cope.

Is ...

Hey guys.

Well my st205 finally got sold and I finally got my licence back. The days of spending money on cars are a bit behind me and now I am looking for a decent 4wd wagon, manual or auto (probably auto as I get the feeling I would be spending more money with a manual 4wd .. eg clutch etc ...

Car sold. About bloody time. Does it make me less of a man that I cried a little seeing it go down the drive?

Will do, cheers for the heads up

The car is changing ownership on Tuesday (sadly).

I think I will just leave it unregistered and deal with any eventualities. Thank you all for help guys, it's a sad day to see the GT4 go but there's not much use for it when I'm skiing in France!

Oh I see. So what happens If I just leave it unregistered? Will I be pinged with the 2 months or whatever it has been backpay when I change ownership?
