Advice On 03 Magna's.

Holden? Maybe i should get a camry...... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If I was held at gunpoint by Libyan extremists I'd get a Falcon over a Commodore... Either a low k AU2-3 or BA2... And avoid Au1, Ba1.

 

Anything Australian built is comparative garbage, but at least WHEN the Falcon breaks its f*ckloads easier and cheaper to fix.

 

Camry still wins, unfortunately. MCV20 Vienta is an unremarkable but nicely appointed comfortable family truckster.

Yeah its a pity they look like poo.

I like my brothers and dad's mates Camry Sportivo's (year 2000ish onwards). They can look really cool. Haven't heard of any problems

from them either. Can find them quite cheap if you look in the right places. My brother bought his ex-fleet from the coach of the

Canberra Raiders football club for under $15,000 with 80,000km's over a year ago (2004 model btw)

 

EG. eBay Ad.

I drove a KR Verada wagon for about 6 months until it died. It never stopped giving me problems, but it never died either. Drunk oil, ran with no oil, miss fired its heart out and had an auto failure which left me with 2 gears. Eventually sold it to a wreckers for $250.

 

I seriously miss that car a lot.

 

EDIT: Camry V6's (1MZ) go hard. I drive a fair few of them at work. They are pure win. 36 series camrys (like that eBay ad) are a good car.

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

I had a vt with 330,000 on the clock, paid $1000 for it, it still went hard on its original motor and box, and i flogged it for a year with no dramas.

 

Commo crap aint all bad, does the job, well mine did...............................

Doesn't sound too impressive with the Magna lol. Only 6 months for it to die whilst having lots of dramas... I don't call that a car I would miss.

 

Go the camry. Really nice car! My brother has the 1MZ version... Unfortunately he never gives it any stick and it's an auto :wub:

[B.L.Z.BUB]

I dunno anymore I'm tired and ive been searching cars on the net all night.

 

found this

I dunno how to do the link thing...

 

If it was up to me she'd be getting an 84 e7 wagon.

 

EDIT: and I'm a bit drunk now.

I know some c*&ns that had a verada, It got repossessed before it broke down and they didn't take care of it.

Well it had probably 150,000kms on it. It had so much heart. Plus it didn't die!

[B.L.Z.BUB]

How about this?

 

 

economical and cheap

Low carbon emissions too.

The emissions might be low, but they're solid. And you gotta clean em up. :wub:

[towe001]

Low carb emissions, but you might want to watch out for those other egg gas emissions :wub:

Have a hunt around they might help a bit better

 

About the only problem we have with our '07 2.4lt lancer is that it loves the fuel, we're getting about 350kay to a tank. Should be around the 450 mark. But a lancer forum that i'm also with, some on there are getting well over 500-600 to a tank, mind you they've also moded the intake and exhaust (airbox swap, aftermarket headers and bigger exhaust) and not much else.

 

Oh yeah and the speedo seams a common problem - reads higher then what the car is doing. But you don't really notice till you know about it.

[B.L.Z.BUB]

May have to have a better look at it after this advice. Just want to be prepared. Looking at spending 8-10k so I don't really want to waste my money.
