12 thousand? Whoa, could get a SAAB 9-3 convertible for it!

(At least I would! )

 

Any hoo, for a guy with no car for a year and a half like me, is a 1000 dollar Nissan laurel any good?

For a first car? Any car is a good car. As long as you don't have to throw a lot of money at it or worry about dying, its perfect!

Would this be too expensive to maintain? It's a newer model and has been taken care of.

[Pat]

You should not be considering any Jag for a first car.

[Lurch]

Horrendously overpriced. My friend's dad bought the same exact car (same year, color, and v8) for about a 3rd of that price.

 

They aren't that great though. Expect it to be in the shop regularly.

[GeorgieNJ]

I think for 12k you could get a decent BMW 3/5 series, or Mercedes E class, both would be better than Jag

Never buy oldish rusty skylines they are deemed to be money pits.

Some of my this years automotive shenanigans.

You are living the life Pav! It'd be better if you got an SLS in there too

[Mega]

hahaha, yes. Christ, it was a mess with those QPs (you remember the story), I'd upload some pictures of the truck transporting them etc later probably

[epoxi]

Looks lots of fun!

[Mr.Funny12]

Holly sh*t look at all those cars. Damn your doing well haha. Nice pictures, I like the evo. Whats that car in the beginning of the lineup called. I forget I've seen it before.

[Outcast]

It's a Caterham 7

[Mega]

It's not that I am doing well, I am just lucky. More of the Abarth Essesse:

 

[Outcast]

Nifty little car, I would take one in a heartbeat.

[*MURDOC*]

I dig it.

How much do you earn if I may ask? With the prices of fuel being near 6pln it's quite hard to fuel this Abarth

[Lurch]

Abarths are just starting to hit the streets over here. Seen one at a car show a few months back and was extremely impressed with how well built it seemed. Materials looked very high quality. I would take one in a heartbeat.

[AceRay]

Damn, that Abarth is sweet! I'd love to spend some time with that beast. They have around 200 bhp don't they?

Speaking of FIAT:

We need a new family car, we assume our FIAT won't pass EU regulations (M.O.T)

We found out that we'd very much like a FIAT multipla!

[Garfield 2]

We found out that we'd very much like a FIAT multipla!

 

It has to be one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen. Why would you want that?!

[Sgt. Foley]

Can you talk about any vehicle here ? I don't want to make any stupid remarks.

[*MURDOC*]

Go for it.

[Triple Penetration]

Not bashing your car choice, but I'd rather the Mercedes that's behind your Fiat. No hard feelings.

 

I just don't see the appeal of the small cars AND French/Italian cars in general. What I'd like to know is why would anybody like them.

 

To Jaysteels - are you serious? If your family really wants a 6-seater, why not get a Honda F-RV instead? The design and reliability are much better in the latter.

[Sup3rman]

I just don't see the appeal of the small cars AND French/Italian cars in general. What I'd like to know is why would anybody like them.

 

Care to explain why you don't like them? If you haven't drove any or owned any then i guess you wouldn't like them from the first glance. This Abarth for example, i mean the design is amazing IMO. Only Italians can figure out such things...altough i'm not sure who owsn Fiat now

If you knew me, you would know I'm the last person in this sub-section who would go for a small car like the Abarth. But you know why its appealing? Because its f*ckin' fun.

[mr quick]

The multipla appeals - It's MAD MAD MAD! I love it! It's crazy! Nothing but some good old fashion individuality to make you happy. We have a history with Fiat;

Fiat 131 mirafiori

Fiat 132 mirafiori

Fiat Uno (in red)

Fiat Uno (in black)

Fiat Punto 5door

Fiat Ducato Combinato (turbo)

 

We love fiat at our house (except dad who converted to toyotanism)

Fiat 500 are Lady's runabouts. The interior plastics are dreadful as well.

 

Back to proper cars, Lexus are finally installing a Bluray player in the LS, the first manufacturer to do so.

 

About bloody time.

My dad owns a 2008 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD. Don't know the exact specs cause I'm not really into cars

 

I'll try to get some pics and info.
