Just looking at purchasing my first car, and would like to know what models to look at.I've been a bit slack in getting it all together.
At first I was looking at cars like altezza's and other similar models.I now have several galant's, primera's and familia's on my watchlist.
My budget is somewhere between $2,500 and $4,000, with good value being essential.Anything over $3,000 and I would need to organise finance for it.
Personally preferences: - Clean, tidy look - Good reliability and low maintenance - 4 door sedan; automatic
Thank you in advance!

Hahaha no wonder you're 'holdenboy11'. you'v never owned one!
Don't worry though - that goes for most people you see in HSV gear too.

What's wrong with an older Holden saying as you seem to like them going by your user name! You could get an Ok early to mid 90's model for that money.

+1 Good little cars. Cheap to service, run and insure.

My advice is learn to drive a manual. You will get much better options and better reliability and economy for your money. Its a different story when you have 15K to spend but with cheap cars manual is best.
Generally the most likely cause of a properly expensive repair on a car of that age is automatic transmission failure, and when it strikes its not often worth repairing due to cost.
Best of luck with it all.

Most people wearing HSV gear would probably have watched the V8s on TV too.

A late 90s nissin sunny would be ideal. Same running gear as a pulsar but for some reason not as popular so much cheaper.

They're probably the same ones that make fun of Trekkies for dressing up too! (and no, I'm not a Trekkie - I find both groups equally ridiculous).
