Hi folks, stuffed my focus on thursday (thanks to some silly bint in an astra) so i'm gonna be in the market for a new car soon!
I should have about 8K to play with so what do you think I should go for?
I want a cossie, only cause i've never owned one!

What do ya think?

rssteve

spend 4k on the cossie, then keep the other 4k to repair it.

yea that is wat i would do

GARETH T

i would spend 7k on a nice tidy 4x4 saff,,, and 1k on a shitter

the shitter will save you that 1k very fast

Csm

buy a cossie and spunk rest on repairs

its the way forward

Do you reckon a 3Dr would be a bad move then?

Do it mate, my Saph is spot on for everyday use!

Get yourself a nice 3 door

a 4x4 saph for everyday wil be ok, as long as it aint ragged everywhere,
launched at every lights,

at you could probably stage 3 it,

at stage 3 i had no issues,

then i went stage more

As above i would get a nice 4x4 for everyday use with stage 3, but then a nice 3dr would be good aswell, depends on how you drive though.

As for the going above stage 3 comment yeah i know what you mean

stage 3 4wd safff .... spend around 5k .. save the rest for little bits that will need doing....

i would look hard and find a good saff 4x4 dont go for the most expensive one buy one thats good for what you want
mine is 350 bhp and is ragged everywhere,
launched at every lights,
and 3 years later still all good

AS LONG AS YOU LOOK AFTER IT AND GET IT SET UP RIGHT

How many miles do you do a year?

A saph would cost me more in fuel per year than its value

Gordon1

that is true but does not matter i do around 16000 miles a year

chip-3door I do in the region of 6-7k pa.
I've driven a mates 2wd a few times and fell in love with it!

Anything I buy will go straight up the road to MSD to make sure everything is tickety boo. So it'd be set up properly

I do like fourbys, trouble is, I like 3 doors too!

Then do what I did and convert a 3 door to fourby

Good luck with whatever you decide.
