parents just rang me to let me know they found this 03 TJ for $18k
i think they said its got 36,000km on it.
its stock (ex-gov i think) with no spoiler or anything. tiptronic auto.
how much would you guys pay for it?

as for the colour, mum says its silver and dad says its gold. and pics of what colour it could be?

thanx

I'd say it is possibly Kashmir. Just like the pic below...

How much rego? Overall condition? Full service history?

Could possibly do a little better then $18K

The colour is most likely "Kashmir".

Or if it is Silver, then it is "Pewter" (Colour of my car)

Its probably one of the 'run-out" ex govt fleet deals that Mitsu do.

You can buy an 04 TL with 30,000 on the clock and balance of new car warranty for a wee 19,990..

So you should probably mention this to the dealer and get a few more $$$ off the car.

Offer them 16k and see what they say.

... which makes the TJ worth $23,000... :badgrin:

given all the complaints the TL is getting.

i dont have $20K for a TL tho, and even in the 2 or 3 days i have been lookin at this forum im thinkin they arent real good :P

just got back from insurance company (NRMA) with a quote for $1500. anyone know if i could get it cheaper elsewhere? (im 18)

Im not saying to buy a TL..

Im saying, use that as your bargaining power..

Was just flicking thru the paper whilst on the dunny (ok ok, too much info sorry :shock: )

spotted a dealer offering a TJ Sports for $16k. Didn't say anything about mileage but.

just be careful it could be a exrental car as mits owns thrifty and eurocar

what was the dealer?

Bain: the salesman has already taken $1k off the price and cant go any lower

haha, that is salesman speak. do not listen to their dribble

And so you are 18. That then gives you no excuse for buying an auto lol Seriously you will regret buying an auto if you do

i know i will regret buying an auto.
pretty sure im gunna regret buying a FWD too tho

pretty sure im gunna regret buying a FWD too tho 18 years old.... Get a manual, something cheap and RWD. If you like having fun then you probably wont respect your first car and thrash it..

When i was 18 all i wanted to do was have fun in the car.. Burn outs, dirt roads etc etc..
If you enjoy these things then FWD's are boring as...

My first car lasted a bit over 8 months before the engine gave out. Its been the best car ive ever had in terms of fun/memories.

ie: $1500 Holden gemini, fun cars that take an absolute flogging, cheap parts. Drive it til it dies then buy a 20 grand car

thats what im thinkin bain. FWD is gunna be no fun at all.
the problem now is finding something decent in RWD, cuz im not a big fan of ford/holden and im really starting to like magnas :(

You might find a nissan, corolla or RX that will take your fancy.

Im still a fan of the Ford Escort Mk1 rs2000 (ive been going on about them alot lately hahah)

heres a pic i posted earlier...

You could get it cheaper than $18k, i had a TJ 2001 model with 43k kms for $12k drive away lined up but couldn't afford it :(. Just keep bargaining ;).

im pretty much set on an s13/180sx. even found a nice one in town im gunna go have a look at :D

thanx for your help

Popular among the youth :)

They will be a good car to thrash.. Then you can move into something more refined once youre done with killing a car :)

i goddam hate silvia's and 180's lol

but it'll be fun, RWD + turbo, Just dont become another statistic - later in life i sure as sh!t wont be letting my son buy a fast car at a young age. end rant :P

I'm 18, had this car since I started driving at 16 and a half - I think it's a great car personally, even though it's just an auto 4sp. Prolly just as well, I thrash it enough at times, if it was a manual, I think I might've gone a bit over the top by now...
