I'm after a new daily driver

Well it's time to get myself a daily driver.
What I am looking for is something with full rego and preferably in NSW.
I am after a more original version but obviously reliable.

First preference is for an FB in a sedan but if I do no good there a wagon will do the job in either an FB or EK. A ute will not be possible due to having a family and the need for childrens car seats to be used.

There are a few around that I have been looking at but I thought I would see what people on this forum first.

Budget is max 18 grand.

I'm think for 18 grand I should be able to find a vehicle that needs no major rust repairs carried out on it.

Cheers
Paul

Mick, i saw that wagon this morning, i will keep an eye on that one. I saw another wagon on facebook a week or so ago, it was a yellow fb, it looks quite nice but does have some rust in the doors and quaters. I will hang out for a sedan first and then see what happens.
