Sometimes BMW is a nono
Sometimes BMW is a nono
Someone I went to school with (was an 09er though) had a corolla modifed similarly, not quite as low and had BBS LMs rather than TE37s. Afaik he ended up parting it out and selling it as a stock corolla and then bought a late model WRX STI haha.What a beaut
If you enjoy it, then why not keep the car you currently have. If you really want a new car, then yeh set in the money but plan out what type of house, where (a key factor), and how much you will need for it. And like yeh the fuel is usually a problem in terms of finance so you have to consider that too I guess.In terms of practical use, I probably don't need a car considering I work in the city. We have a Peugeot 308 Touring at home and that drives very well (I drove a new Corolla and Impreza while I was on my L's during lessons and they were not enjoyable to drive).
I really enjoy driving though, so any car needs to be enjoyable to drive. It would be primarily be used for weekend driving as a recreation but I'm wary that the running costs would be relatively high compared to the amount of use I get.
While satisfying to drive well, I don't find these particularly exciting.MX-5
German cars just pay more for brake pads because they wear off quicker but for servicing its not too bad. I got an A4 and its 570 bucks for major servicing with NRMA considering Audi was quoting at 980 bucks lol. 15k for each service so its pretty good imo. I think it's worth it more to pay a little more for luxury If I were you I'd look at a smaller engine you'd get a newer model, maybe a 320i or c-class or A4. If you go german get a turbo.Any ideas on what the running costs are like for a 'regular' car compared to a euro lux?
I was looking at a 2005 BMW 330i (design-wise, they've aged really well imo) for $19k but I'm wary that there's a considerable premium for maintenance.
Yea, but they are is high chance of getting in an accident.But would you ride a motorbike?
You can fit in basically anywhere.
$20 of fuel can get you 80-100km depending on how much you give it.
You can lane split/filter through traffic
You can put your bag on your back etc etc
Yes, this won't be an issue. I assure you that I'm not an idiot with money.If you enjoy it, then why not keep the car you currently have.

Yeah that seems cheaper than the Pug we have. Our services usually cost around ~700 but that's at the dealer's own service centre. I hear you about the brake pads too.German cars just pay more for brake pads because they wear off quicker but for servicing its not too bad.

Not allowed to lane split anymore in Melbourne... Kind of defeats the purpose of owning a motorcycle... however, people still do it around here...But would you ride a motorbike?

Ohh in NSW it got legalized only if traffic is moving slow and can't exceed over 30 km/h iirc, it's restricted to full motorbike license holders only. But all riders still do it.Not allowed to lane split anymore in Melbourne... Kind of defeats the purpose of owning a motorcycle... however, people still do it around here...
