Ok so im looking at what to do with my current TR that's giving loads of problems....http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36657&page=3

One option would be to change to another car. What are my options? I'm looking at $6k or below. Strange that I can get 3rd gen magnas from dealers for less than 6k (http://www.drive.com.au/used_cars/mitsubishi/magna/melbourne/detail.aspx?id=2853177&pg=5&pp=12&d=0&nv=1)...but not from private sales...

Hmmm.

What is your prefernce?
Move up to a base model 3rd gen, or, stay in the family (were a dieing breed atm lol) and get a V6 2nd Gen, even KS Rada.

All can be had for under 6K, but all will have a reasonable amount of k's on them......Unless you can find a gem:)

Theres a few options, but what is your preference for car?

That's a 2.4L 4 cylinder, thats why its so cheap. Even though they are pretty reliable like the v6, it just doesn't compare power wise.
For $6k i'd buy a TS V6 in top top condition, you might be able to get a TE V6 for around that at a dealer, but prepare to spend more on fixing it up.
Privately you should be able to pick up a decent TE/TF under $6k.

and i save $50 on a hayne manual!

Can i suggest that whatever you do, you take someone from AMC along with you that knows what they're looking at/prices. I dont want you to get ripped off again.

I'm looking at a 98 tf v6 auto at the moment for low 2's :badgrin:

but i guess i should say it's repairable write off :D

$6000 i'd be looking for a KS Verada if you must have a 2nd gen, or even a 2.4L or 3.0L TE/F.

Simple, the 3rd Gens are newer and alot more refined. And alot harder to break (but not impossible.

where are you located tansc???

They also cost more to fix.

wouldnt pay over 4500 for a stock or near 2nd gen despite engines or what.... it'd definately be wiser to get a 3rd gen. Power, reliability, fuel economy...... i just like the shape of the 2nd gen n that better engines drop in...

Get rid of the 2nd gen.

Buy yourself a 3rd gen. If you cant find a 3rd gen for the price.

Get a Toyota Corolla, those things are pretty much bullet proof.

You should have no problem getting a 3rd gen for the right price. I recommend TF 3.0L... SWEEET!!!:P
