Am currently looking at altezzas, love the look of them, wanting something under or around 8 grand, that looks good, and doesnt chew through too much gas.
black or white would be nice, but am open to most colours. Thanks

Wow.is that all the info we have to go on! ;)

jasongroves, Sep 7, 4:57am
Altezza is a good vehicle generally, but they are expensive for what they are.

awrenn, Sep 7, 5:03am
I must admit they do look nice, can be bit thirsty depending on how heavy your foot is though :-)

What sort of mileage you wanting!

Cheers
Andy

Here you go.
2002 Toyota Altezza Gita(4wd)
http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/toyota/altezza+gita/8090714/

NZ$ 4,440
you could be driving this for under $8000.

jasongroves, Sep 7, 5:09am
Not gonna be terribly good on fuel though eh!

awrenn, Sep 7, 5:16am
They are sooooo ugly, I can't stand the look of them - but yeah, cheap to run.

mattynelson, Sep 7, 5:19am
Shameless self promotion

the_don_61, Sep 7, 5:19am
Its hard to buy a sportie car thats cheap to run., could like quite pimpin on a set of 18" tinted windows etc etc.

jasongroves, Sep 7, 5:21am
Now that.is ugly.
Good, reliable family transport though.

the_don_61, Sep 7, 5:23am
But not cheap to run.a nissan V8 is cheaper to run than those.

awrenn, Sep 7, 5:42am
Damn, had I known that'd I'd have had the wife in one already! Bit limited in choices though, Cima my only option! With a $160 fill she'd need to do around 850 km's to a tank to be anything like comparable.

awrenn, Sep 7, 5:45am
What about a Honda Torneo - look nice with a decent set of mags, good price for low km's.

antwerp87, Sep 7, 5:53am
go 1997 nz new honda accord 2.2l vtec single cam manual. Can pick em up for 4k great economy not bad looking cars.

pollymay, Sep 7, 6:29am
That thing is over 20 years old, rubber deteriorates after 20 years and the boots on ball joints, bushings, engine mounts etc start failing.

awrenn, Sep 7, 6:31am
I would have thought the 1.5 is a tad gutless as well!

jsbike, Sep 7, 6:36am
jazz should have been here by now

jalhorse, Sep 7, 7:11am
I really love altezzas, looks like theres nothing really that can compare to them!

michael.benn, Sep 7, 7:24am
Wow come on guys, you can do better than that!

$8000 to play with jalhorse! Give me till 10 o'clock tonight, I'll have a list for ya.

bubbles244, Sep 7, 7:28am
matchbox, cheap and wont break down till the kids pull the wheels off it.,

awrenn, Sep 7, 7:30am
Another vote for MX5 here - like driving a go kart :-)

Hard top would be nice - don't have to worry about the tops leaking.

ringo2, Sep 7, 7:44am
Then along came jazz.euro talking jazz.

the_don_61, Sep 7, 7:48am
No you could go Leopard Y32 or Q45.Might be 160 a week to fill if you do heaps and heaps of driving.3/4 of a tank will get you from ch-ch to levin.everyday run around 35 a week.audi A6 50 a week.for same sort of mileage
Not many cima's are v8 most are v6
