chick?!

Yes, also keen to know who you're talking about?

It always amazes me when I see cars going for under $10,000 because that's really not a lot of money. So I have to wonder how much the car's ongoing costs are that make selling worth it. I guess there also wouldn't be a lot of parking available in Bulimba.

I'm moving to inner-city Melbourne, and there's even less parking there, and less need for a car anyway. Would like to be there by the end of the year, so selling my car is a priority to help fund the relocation.

Triamks it's an 18 year old car, paying over 10K would be criminal!

Congrats! You're semi right about not needing a car when in inner-city Melbourne. I live in Hawthorn East (inner cityish) and had to sell my VE SSV because it was a pain to drive around town. I catch public transport to 95% of my destinations (work, city, eating out, etc) plus I'm only a 5min walk from Camberwell Junction so I foot power myself up to that on the weekends. I worked out I did maybe 3kms/week in driving which wasn't worth the cost of owning + running it.

The only time I was using a car was when I needed to pick up groceries and so trying to fit a big sedan like that into little car spots was ridiculous and ended up getting wifey's Getz shipped down and selling my car. I'd say you still need a car for those occasional trips like big grocery shops, airport pickups, etc but it's also easy enough to live without one (did it for 4 weeks while arranging shipment of wifeys car).

Pretty sure the main reason this is < 10k is those wheels

haha well i wasn't going to say anything

obes, try finding an australian built car that is that old and in as good a condition as most jap imports getting around from the same era

not to mention looking better and being quicker in most cases

pretty sure it's a toyota too

people will always sell cars, just because it sounds awesome for you doesn't mean it is for the guy selling it
if i still had my 180 i would have had to sell it anyway cause of kids & yada yada

either that or compliance plate it for 3 harnesses instead of 2

yes because everyone only drives their car in peak hour traffic

looks are subjective, i personally don't like soarers they have the same boring oval shape as the vt/vx commodores. but they came with 2 sweet engines but they are so heavy with all the luxuries

and they are just rarer on the roads... everyone has a vs commodore. and they are slow and bogan

yes there would be a soarer forum with all the fanboys doing cruises etc like any other car

old jap cars s*** on most aussie new cars

now korean cars, korean cars are the future!

oh nos the crumple zones!


fairy

In a Korean car the passengers are the crumple zone.

ahaha

I have one for sale that need some work. 2.5K buy mine! K-go! :)

Yeah, yeah I know. I didn't quite get across what I wanted to in my post. It's hard to explain.

mine are better

How bout a car from anywhere that is newer (thus better condition) has less miles and is cheaper ?
but ok
clicky
94, similar k's VR Statesman. $5000 *shrug*

You can't compare a Commodore, or even a Statesman to a Soarer. It's just a totally different class.

In 1991 Soarers had:

Colour Television
GPS
Heated belts and seats
12 direction movable electronic leather seats
Ultrasonic rear vision mirror cleaners (and another button heats them, another folds them in or out)
Climate Control standard (in the GTL's)
Amplified sub woofer with front splits (and other speakers in the back)
LCD rear vision mirror
Reverse camera
Digital dash
Airbags
Light sensing headlights
Speed and water sensing wipers
airbag suspension, some with auto-levelling that corrects the cars level in corners

etc etc etc, that's all I can come up with right now but after owning one even going to a WHII Statesman seemed like a step down. There's a hell of a lot more little super awesome things but .. I'm mid doing stuff atm.

PS, I do like Falcadores also, well, more the dore side.

Edit:

It's an 18year old car with 150k's. V8 so not overly cheap to run, insure or rego.

4L quad OH cam Toyota V8's are pretty reasonable on fuel, comparable to/better then most 6cyl aussie cars. Insurance also isn't too bad unless you're bad at driving/new to driving. I paid less on the 2 door coupe V8 Soarer then I do on the Jeep.
