Never tried a Lada ... tried a Dacia, which was just as crappy as that looks.

This was my sister's first car (if only it looked in that good condition).

I have actually seen that car driving down near my street a number of times. It is the oldest car in town. And that is saying something about my how my town loves new stuff. |

The reason I said convert a car yourself was because Ford isn't bringing the car you want here so DIY. I understood your disappointment in my first post. |

I wasn't after the car because of the hybrid portion of it. I was after the car, because of its overall category. |

Dual cab ute. It's only a Holden shell, electric motor and upgraded suspension. An electrified old car will be as woke as a rescued greyhound soon. |

Hybrids are nice to drive. I had a rental Corolla hybrid for a week and really liked it. I reckon a Kluger hybrid could be my next car. |

Title: Re: Cheap cars Post by Kat on Jul 15th, 2021 at 5:44pm Used some of my coronavirus stimulus to buy this, and have just renewed my licence after having let it lapse around 20 years ago (didn't need it, and eventually just got used to not having it). Paid $1300 with 6 months rego, spent another $500 or so on it to get it running properly, fix a few minor issues, and buy a few 'upgrades' such as a dash-cam etc, and now couldn't be happier. It goes well, stops well, has no rust, runs on the smell of an oily rag and is a low-mileage car which has spent most of its life with female owners, so hasn't been thrashed. It will do me for a while, I think. BTW, knockers needn't bother - I didn't buy it for you and neither need nor want your approval. DSCN2627.jpg (120 KB | 13
