What Car Shall I Get Now
 

Hi Guys,

I've just broke my Classic Impreza and whilst I'm saving for my Hawkeye I need another car which will hold its value and do all the things I want it to.

Its needs to be a bit different, I don't like joining the masses and driving in something everyones got, so focus are off the list.

I've got £2k to spend. I was thinking something like a MG ZS 180 or a Vectra GSI, something a bit sporty but a decent useable car.

Any ideas?

How about an ep82 starlet gt . Fast , reliable cheap to run and hold there money well .

I had a ZS180 and loved it , A lot of car for the money and cheap to buy now

I'm thinking that the ZS180 is gonna be the car for me. Unless someone else can suggest something else.

off track sorry, what hawkeye u going for? uk/jap/sti/wrx etc?

Not fussed if its jap or uk spec car, I was thinking RB special or STi so I don't have to mod it too much to have a 300bhp car. I modified my classic quite a lot to get my 340bhp and took quite an insurance bruising because of it.

Whys that?

i wouldnt buy an mg rot box or a vectra head gasket problem car, they will need scrapping before you get to sell it on, jap's the only way. why not a turbo 2000, you will always get your money back :thumb:

civic 1.8 vti, same platform as the mg zs but much better engine, 170 bhp, 8000rpm.
very reliable, cheap to run and pretty quick.

;)

buy a shed on wheels will free more moneys forthe impreza. you know it makes sence in the long run

how about a 306 gti-6 , great car for the money.

Volvo T4 or T5
Audi A3 or A4
both very good cars and picked up rather cheap now

I've been hearing more and more about head gasket problems, as for rust yes definutly the vectras I've seen have been rotten but the MG have all been solid.

I must admit going back to Jap is appealing, I can find a good cheap one though. I'd have to get a Jap import and its got to be a turbo. But all the ones I'm looking at are silly money, I was getting less for mine which was very very very clean and had loads of top quailty mods.

it all depends on how long your going to keep it ;) my better half has a mg zr and its had 2 exhausts, 1 new ecu, because it rained @ £558 :cuckoo:. the sills have started to rust and the sun roof leaks, new sunroof £600 :freak3:. its only done 33 thousand miles. the head gasket hasnt gone yet but im sure it will do.


you can buy it if you want :D
