Needed a larger sedan with character for family with 3 growing kids, preferably with 350 Chev and dual fuel. Nearly everyone over here owns a Holden or Ford and I didn't want to be a 'sheeple'. Very happy.

Still have the trusty old '93 Celica. I always wanted a sports car, and our family had always bought Toyota's. Four years and 40,000km's later and she's still going great, no hassles whatsoever.

Versatility and reliability, I don't mind paying a bit more if I know the car is good. I am also in the habit of buying cars from people who can't afford to fix them, so I try and buy them at a good price. If I think I can't make a profit on a particular car, then I stay away. In the last 12 years, I've had 26 cars, I made money on some, cut even on others but lost money on just one, which happens to be the first and only Euro I ever had .

One of the nicest cars to drive I reckon. The only problem is, you'll get some funny looks if you have a male passenger with you.

AU coon, needed a big wagon rather than my VS ute due to ppl coming over for wedding & many trips to airport, home, venues, dinners, rellies etc etc (ute may have more room but dont think Aunty would be too impressed sitting in the back lol) at short notice it was cheaper than the Commodore alternatives & after 4 Holdens in a row the Ford option isnt too bad. I had promised myself a V8 by now but maybe next time & itll be a fair toss-up between the coon or hole-dunga

How many kms has it done! If you ever get sick of it you've got a potential buyer right here. Been looking for a cheap MX5 for ages!

R32 Skyline, was the newest 6 cylinder rear drive on the lot with the lowest kms for the lowest price. That was in '98 and I still have the car today.

220,000KM quite tidy, drives very well, needs a passenger side mirror, almost four tyres and has a very small split in the plastic rear window (at the seam) otherwise the roof is good. As sad as it sounds, it would have to be a very good profit right now to sell it.

I had to replace the 626 my daughter's b/f smashed for me, and a mate's father was selling his VN wagon for $1200.He had owned it for 17 years, second owner, 265,000Km, and babied like you wouldn't believe.

Needed a tow car, wanted to get rid of my turbo mr2. Guy said swap. I said sweet then, saves me messing around. Drove a VN SS in red home that week. As primo for towing as it is for wasting tyres and fuel.
Everytime I think of getting rid of it I look at the market and it's anywhere between 3k and 8k depending on apparently nothing but what the owners think then think back to dealing with morons when selling. The thought erases itself.
