i moved to australia recently and need a good solid car to get me from a to b while being fuel effient at the same time. my price range is $500-$8000. i know asking an australian isn't the wisest due to your accents and "traditions" you stole from america but i live here now and id like to make new friends. also i may please myself because my wife no longer does but a nice car can show her that i still have it :
lastely i dont want to drive around and look like a white boy if you know what i mean, so please help me get a good solid car |

Hyundai Excel with a large spoiler and missing panels shouldn't give any stereotypes.

Get a vl or Vn commo . You would look like a
but not a white boy(whatever that means ) solid enough car cheap as chips too. As for american traditions stop stuffing them down or throat then and keep you crappy tv shows too. |

yep definetly gotta agree with the flow here, you should get a decent AU series III on LPG for about $7000, pretty reliable and dirt cheap to run without making the sacrifice of going to a small car.
