If you had to choose on car to last you the rest of your days... UNDER 5k!
« on: April 05, 2013, 12:31:18 am »
Right, so Im at work on a night shift  my mind is wandering & iive pretty much read all the build threads already!

sooo....

If you had 5 grand, and 5 grand only to buy you a car in this day and age that would have to last you for the rest of your days what would it be...

must be a car that was produced in the last 20 years....   


off we go :)

I'd forget forced induction, would have to be NA. 
It then depends whether it needs to be frugal or not.
If so, probably some Jap crap.
If not probably a nice straight six BM.

Starting to see a few 3.2S Boxsters at £5k so I'd choose one of those.

Since you want a car to last you the rest of your days, what is your estimated life expectancy??

Hmm, assuming no mechanical problems, probably (get ready for blasphemy) a Nissan Silvia Q's. Ready modified. Lovely looking vehicles and great for drifting.
