Yup. Since I have to get an auto, might as well do it in style and comfort. Just going through the whole car selling/buying process I hate...

As the wind changes so does my mind. So now that my knee seems ok, thankfully, I am looking at getting another manual. Now I'm thinking about the 94-95 Mustang GT, or the 89-95 Corvette again. At least I have established a few requirements though: It has to be a V8, equipped with a manual transmission, and still easy enough to work on. So that leaves the Corvette and Mustang.

They don't lack power, are manual and can also turn corners ![]() They will only set you back AUD$500000 - AUD$1Mil depending on if you get the Ford, Holden, Mercedes or Nissan ![]() Serious now, I like the Vette.

If I had the extra cash I'd just get a C5, but I don't. So that leaves the C4.

On a good day you can find the earlier C5's for around $12,000. Halfway there.

Halfway there. ![]() Still a massive difference between $12000 and $80000, not to mention that these are also LHD so we can only get them registered as a 'Show Car' meaning limited days to use them ![]() -------------------- ![]() ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Just move to America, all of your problems are solved.
![]() Sooo.... I've thought about it and I must be one of few people that wants to sell their car because of the colour and how the exhaust sounds. Anyhow I suppose in the next week or two will put the car up for sale. I just despise the whole car selling and buying process. So much disdain. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

No doubt you'll be needing the polish more than the car then,
They don't have vanity mirrors though buddy ![]() |
