Depends what you want to do with it, commute around town, long distance or towing...each will have cars that are more suited than others. :kuda:

Toyota Avalon

If its a get about. Then this will still give another 10 years of trouble free service and from the outset represents fantastic value at this price.

You could buy a 4WD so you can go on the camping adventures and maybe a bike trailer to go with it. :D

Main uses for this car is to drive chicks around i guess :D hehehe

Both 2 door or 4 doors are fine.
Either Auto/manual.
Coupe/hatch/4wd is all fine as well.

Toyota Supra
Nissan Skylines have been added to my list, though they are a bit old and no turbo...

Ah the folly of youth...."drive chicks around"...even I remember that driving around is no fun...parking maybe...but a lot more comfortable at home in bed...or anywhere other than a car...unless it's a '59 Chev Belair...can lay full length on the back seat in those...hehehe...my i'm getting old... :twisted:

bloody rice...and not nice too old

driving chicks around...means a bit of the old luxo, cruisin'
sunroof maybe decent stereo...comfy seats aircon
bit of cred too....

hmmm... maybe a Golf
definitely something in the Mazda 3 or 6 range would suit
Toyota Corolla....yep, maybe a Honda CRV/HRV or a late model Civic
and another fave is the Astra (you would a get goodie for $15 large)

all reliable cars with no real vices (Golf is tad dear for parts)
stay away from Mimmers or Mercs (unless you won the lotto)
