fane Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 i would insure under your own name as its a cheaper car and you can build up an insurance record ready fo your more expensive car and then you can have a no claim bonus and it will be easy to find insurance for yourself in the future...

Brackez Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 No power steering is only annoying if the car weighs heaps, is front wheel drive or is in need of a wheel alignment/tyres etc. A lightweight rear-driver such as the corolla mentioned above should have very light unassisted steering. More importantly- it will also use bugger-all fuel, cost bugger-all to insure and cost-you guessed it- BUGGER-ALL to buy in the first place. AND you won't worry about it when you park it in a dodgy pub car-park, or next to the trolley return at the supermarket. Learn to drive it really well, and experience the warm glow that comes from embarrassing the inept drivers of much flashier and more expensive cars in your old shitbox. Then when you buy your Skyline/Silvia, you'll know how to drive it well AND will appreciate it more.

stÖrmy Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 the one i saw was 1982 i think. can someone give me the full name, cause someone said sprinter, someone said ke70, someone said ae82 and ae86, i dunno if they are all the same car. but can someone give me the full name of this damn car LOL.. btw, if i want to get it inspected before i buy it, do i do that that the local petrol station or is there a specific place to get it done? any idea how much it will cost?

Boostzor Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Yep ure looking for some 4age powered 20v super fast doof doof mobile arent u. Find a ke70 with the 4ac in it, should cost you about $800. Try to get it with less than 200k on the clock and it should be fine. Then get 3rd party property for it for about $135 a year which will help you build up a no claim bonus and if u ram a merc u wont be in the hole for it. No point insuring a bunky with full comp.

Boostzor Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Corolla SE sedan. Classic 80s boxy style. Has the same wheel base and chassis as the famed Sprinter, dont bother with the sprinter- better off getting a s13 na and u know what i think of those.
