A to B car for around 10k that isn't crap
 

Sup,

I'm chasing a run- about car with the following criteria:

Auto
4 doors
Hatch/ Wagon/ or Sedan
< 120,000KM
Reliable
Not a gutless piece of shit
Looking at mid 2000's models

Been bulk researching for the last week aka browsing the web at work.

Have narrowed down to the following but asking here in case there's any gems i've missed:
2006 First Gen Series 2 Mazda 6
2006 First Gen Series 2 Honda Accord Euro

I did consider the following:
Toyota Corolla: basic as shit, slow as shit.
Mitsubishi Lancer: same as above. Also looks like an arsehole.
Toyota Camry: Fucking disgusting.
Mitsubishi Magna: Value but hot damn they look like horseshit.

Help me cunts! Please.

Forester?

Get an 03/4/5 non turbo for that price easily.

Plenty of room, reliable, cheap insure and run.

Also in that budget would be the Mitsi 380 - easily fit 5 people in it, go well, cheap as because they are not a falcodore.

Yeah not the prettiest thing.

And not related - but I know of a 02 for sale - ~130km iirc, 18 inch enkies. 9/10 condition, manual.

Chasing 8 for a 7.5k offer would get it.

Get a Vitara. Best cars! Head off road.

What do ou expect for 10K though fag? Awesome looks, fast and reliable? Take your asian hat off.

Or buy my old Foz!

Cheers will take a look at the Forester...i always thought people said the NA models were shit? I'll have a look though.

The two cars i've shortlisted fit the criteria.

Look good, quickish and reliable.

Willing to bump the budget a little bit if i see something i like.

Also i don't wear hats you poof.

What about a Honda Civic?

02 GT - I know the owner - night club owner, just had a kid.

I reckon you would get that for below 8.

But just like Russ's old car - more km than you wanted.

The only sucky thing about the NA ones is having driven the turbo Subaru's you will be left wanting for performance. They will do a million km though!

119km, looks pretty clean.

05 XT turbo - I looked at this car - in good condition but didnt want auto. For a daily though. Probably haggle it to 10k flat.
