1121356 2010-07-22 12:49:00 Sounds like a good deal :)

I sure think so; carjam seems to agree. It thinks the average auction price, for those km's, would be $4,400!

1121357 2010-07-22 20:13:00 Guess I should add; the internal CD player (stock) doesn't like CD-R's, and it doesn't have a band-expander! grr, only one radio station :(

Band expanders cost about $15 from places like Repco. I had to fit one to my car as it didn't come with one.

1121358 2010-07-22 20:48:00 I fully intend to. The excess is $1500 if I crash it! God, my age bracket sucks for insurance...



Because so many of your age think they can gt away with silly driving.
Drive carefully, look after it.

Always exciting getting a new toy!!

1121359 2010-07-22 21:32:00 When I got my first car at 15, five years ago, the insurance was only $28/month for third-party. And if you don't claim, it will be down to half that in a couple of years.

I do not recommend full insurance - better to save the money and pay cash for damage caused to your own car by your own fault. Third party covers damage to anybody elses car or property that's your fault, which is the REALLY killer thing because though your car is only worth $3000, you might crash into a $100,000 car, or even a house.

Additionally, if somebody crashes into you and it's their fault, you still don't need full insurance as it is their insurance company's job to pay you. And if they don't have one, your 3rd party policy will pay.

Just be glad you're not in America, where a driver your age would be paying probably $400/month for insurance (even just 3rd party!) :p

1121363 2010-07-22 23:45:00 First car: 1961 Anglia 105E, with a 109E engine, radial tyres on all four corners (a newish development at the time). Went like stink .... for an Anglia. johcar (6283)

I had the same first car. The passenger side floor had ventilation that allowed the passenger a view of the road.

Injure anyone in America and you become their ACC, that's why there are so many ambulance chasing lawyers.
