got a 91 corrolla (or holden nova). only problem with them is the temp gauge reads from the bottom hose, it used to boil the radiator sitting on half and the thermo still hadnt come on... but bought a new radiator and fitted a manual switch for the thermo and now you could drive it round australia 5 times

L20 bluebird

My friend and i bought one for 100 dollars and it was supposed to last the weekend. 9 months later we drove it to and left it out the front of a wreckers yard because it had an expired yellow sticker. That car went to hell and back and the thing that stopped it was an expired yellow sticker, nothing mechanical.

We've got a 95 corolla diesel, it's pretty good, should last forever

Have a corola for sale great little run around and cheap on

petrol if anyone interested its in for sale section.

Old toyota. Nuff said.

I bought a 79 corolla in 99 for $1500. Took the kms from 336000 to 412000. Sold it to a mate for $1000. He took that old 5K engine through to 580000.

And the engine didn't die! The cops told him to fix the rust, and he didn't bother, just left it on the side of the road. I've seen it driving around since, covered in bog.

Sweet ride that.

... cheap as possible but pretty much bullet proof. I don't particularly care about looks, age, ride comfort, anything other than something that keeps going and going and going.

On re-reading this, it could just as well have been written by someone on the rebound!

[Mr. Keets]

Ride comfort and the ability to take a "bullet" are non negotiable

So I ended up driving an Avalon until I could get my new 'line. My uncle was kind enough to lend it to me as it is their "dog" car. Not exactly a bunky but not much fun either. Fill up a bath to the top with water, pop some wheels and a V6 engine on it and drive around in that for a while. That's pretty much the experience for you.

I got a 96 Daihatsu Charade, drinks bugger all fuel, cheap as dirt to maintain, and was so good I ended up buying another one for the wife! :lol:

The car is so reliable, I haven't ever had a problem with it!

In the wet also does great handbrake turns lol.

Might sell it if price is right.

I just bought a 98 EL falcon wagon, 5 speed manual, HD clutch, dedicated gas!

Its got all the luxurious (ish) bits on it, a/c, p/w cruise control etc etc, plenty of room, and its only like 35 bucks to fill the tank!!

Was very close to your 1500 price range too! Tuff wagon!
