EXR6T Member 224 Member For: 17y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 15/06/08 03:59 AM Share Posted 15/06/08 03:59 AM as I said in a different topic, I am moving to Tasmania for work, and because of the fact that im going to be working in the city and living just out of it and fuel prices are starting to hurt the bank now and im not driving in traffic, im thinking of selling the T its not a definate, it depends on what rental property I get, if its cheap I'll keep the T, if I get a nice place that is a bit more expensive I think ill have to sell the T.MY QUESTION !!!!WHAT CAR SHOULD I BUY??I want something that has good to very good fuel economy, and doesnt look like 1. a girls car. 2. a gay car (mazda mx5 etc).I was thinking a 94 BMW 318is, but im hearing now that they tend to be a bit unreliable.what do you guys think would be a good city going option that looks okay??oh and I only want to spend about $15,000 so I can use the left over to live off until my GF finds a new job.my ideal situation would be to keep the T and get a nice place, but its proabably not gonna happen.

You won't have a fuel bill to worry about, and you will enjoy it even more when you do take it out!And buying a 14 yr old BMW is a very bad idea, it will cost you a fortune in repairs and maintenance IMO.Buy a corolla if you want something reliable!

LoL @ YPURV4 - I think you just proved to me that the 318is is a girly car (your fiancee is selling it).. but that does sound tough though.. I just like some of the 318is, most are sh*t, some I think look hot.well I guess I'll have a look at some carolas then... your right RACEFPV that it is a povo BMW, but that's kinda the point, I only have to drive it for 12 months before I get a company car. Senna your probably right about it being unreliable... and ive heard they can have a fair few problems which can be $$$$$$$$expensive$$$$$$$$$$ to fix.
