I'm after a new daily driver

Post by pauly »

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.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
