There is a lovely Merc C63 just been traded in here... its the one i delivered to a customer about 6 months ago that he is trading back in again. Awesome car.

Re: the LC on the GTR... Between the GTR launching in the US in 2008, and coming to Australia in 2009 Nissan discovered the issue of LC causing gearbox failure in American delivered vehicles. But rather than retrofitting the cars already built and on the way to Australia they simply changed the software in the ECU/LC system, and made customers sign a disclosure form stating that they recognise that if they put the car into LC and smash it they understand that Nissan will not cover any subsequent damage to the driveline.

It basically took them until the MY11 to find a way to re-enable LC without damaging anything.

Back to the topic boys, I'm also looking for a daily so hopefully you blokes will help me decide between these two bad boys:

1. 98 Hyundai Excel SPRINT TWIN CAM

1998 HYUNDAI EXCEL SPRINT TWIN CAM X3 Private Cars For Sale in WA - carsales.com.au

2. 99 Daewoo Nubira

1999 DAEWOO NUBIRA SE J100 Private Cars For Sale in WA - carsales.com.au


I'm leading towards the daewoo as it comes with much more powerful 1.6 litre engine and electric windows. The hyundai however has the WOW factor with carpet like seats and manual windows.

The car will mainly be used as a daily/impress some chicks/occasional track day and maybe Wednesday drags

I was thinking more like an 07 model around 190k
