It'll either go forever, or catch fire immediately. 50/50 I'd say. How's your luck!

"We're taking this car to Invercargill boy.!" ;)Hmm, the car looks pretty straight, has low kms for the age, Justys are, relatively, economical (up to 48mpg/17km per litre) and the 4WD would be super useful down your ways. Just don't have a crash - they are built very light.The Dog and Lemon Guide says: Avoid + worth around $900. But they are super-critical about most cars. I suggest: check for rust and mechanically - especially the 4WD system and. be cheeky - ask him to throw in his other Justy for that price and then any parts issues are solved as well.Good luck with what ever you decide. :)

Had a look at that car the other day, is no way near worth the $2000 he is asking $1300 max is what I would pay, plus they are getting hard to get parts for as there isnt many of them out there. Sold one for my Grandfather middle of last year, 1994 1 owner from new, 70,000km near new condition for $2000, just to show what they are worth.

I actually quite like the old Justy's but $2000 is a joke. You can buy LOADS more car than that for your money. You could get a tidy Punto for that sort of money which is easy for parts and generally a lot more car while just as economical. No 4WD though.
If you really want 4WD wait for a cheaper Justy.

Yep gone are the days of $500 WOF & reg cars, but I still think $1000-1500 can get you something fairly tidy with a WOF & reg. $2000 for a poxy Justy is just a joke, it's not even a partcularly tidy example, he couldn't even wash & vac it for the pictures. It may be cheap to run, but what use is paying $1000 more for a car in order to save $10 a week on fuel! I would do as Jazz suggests, find a late 90s car with many safety features like air bags and ABS for $2000 which would be nearly as economical.

We had a 1300 justy many years back. It got too small as the kids grew.It had a soft sincro in the manual box, but basically no other faults. The 4wd was superb when travelling on gravel roads.At that time (probably 10 years ago) parts were available, but you had to know where to look.The growl of the superb little 3 cylinder engine always appealed to me, as much as any 1300 cc motor can appeal to a reasonable red blooded male.
Good luck in your quest!

Yup noticed that myself currently looking for a new run around car at the moment, the odd issue is fine with it but the money people want for some heaps!
