hanra Into the laaaake Member 1,532 Member For: 18y 24d Gender: Male Location: Nrth Qld Posted 15/06/08 10:11 AM Share Posted 15/06/08 10:11 AM Ive been pretty happy with the lack of kw's in my Excel. I can drive it up straight edged gutters, not have to worry about speed bumps or where I park it. Keep the T for the weekends, you will enjoy it a lot more!

I think its probably part of the reason im thinking of selling the T cause im worried about money moving down there.I would love to keep the T for the weekends... or for everyday for that matter. but I just dunno if I can afford it.. :(if my GF gets a decent job fairly quickly I might be able to keep it.. I suppose its just that fear of the unkown that im worried about Edited 15/06/08 10:21 AM by EXR6T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46668-what-car-should-i-buy/page/3/#findComment-693501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCRIBR Yaris member Member 4,486 Member For: 19y 18d Gender: Male Posted 15/06/08 10:46 AM Share Posted 15/06/08 10:46 AM LoL SCRIBR, your YARIS isnt either of those, its exempt from both those categories........ Have you actually seen a Yaris I actually think it's designed for drink drivers... there are 7 drink holders!!! but also having the extra $$$ from selling the T for 18-20k and buying a sh*t box for 8-10k would really help with this move...I sold my ute @ the perfect time I believe... If I tried to sell it now I'm sure it would cost me an extra $2k-4k to have kept it the extra 6 months.The few K extra helps with the saving & I got my Yaris for "cost" price because of my mate who works at a dealership.If it's available, you could always go with Brian's (BCL) idea of public transport?

EXR6T Member 224 Member For: 17y 9m 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 15/06/08 11:31 AM Author Share Posted 15/06/08 11:31 AM yeah its a nice place, but maybe a bit out of my price range if im spending $150+ a week on petrol like I am now.not to mention the servicing every 5000 k's and the more expensive insurance etc. hence why I was thinking of selling my T. I might just leave it for now, and if I get into trouble then I'll sell my T.P.S wish me luck in getting that place.
