Thing is I am in no rush to buy anything because I still have a reliable daily at the moment which is good because I have been in that trap before.

It will at best break even money wise (fuel and repair savings on XR6T vs running costs and extra rego of daily - this is ignoring purchase price of course), mainly I need it so that if something does blow up on the fun car, it can sit in the garage for a while and not cause a panic (I need to drive for work). Good luck with the search! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 7m 27d Posted 21/12/16 06:15 AM Share Posted 21/12/16 06:15 AM This is how I always have run my set up. $3500- $5000 daily/work car (wagon) White commo wagons fit the bill perfectly. Then have a toy car to mod and drive around every other time that I'm not at work. I have tried running a 6ltr SS Thunder (ute) great car but shocking on fuel for everyday and hard work getting tools and materials in and out of because of the hard lid set up. I don't mind the hit I take with double rego and insurance thing, Have done so since 2009 so its all in the budget these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need something that handles like arse and has cheap tyres on it so I don't enjoy abusing it, or is very light so doesn't wear out as much!

Needs to be kinda gutless. This goes with saving fuel as well, need fuel to make power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
