CAR UPDATE! Because I know you're all so totally bored of this by now. I know I am =|
Looked at this one yesterday, which is looking promising enough that I'm getting an RAA check done on it (Colin's mechanic mate isn't available for the next week) so~ yay. Also, talked him down to $4200, which is nice. Well inside my $5000 budget.
Also looked at two today, one of which only had its colour going for it--the rear view mirror was nowhere to be seen, which I'm sure is enough for the cops to mark it defective--and the other of which is also promising. A year older and 5000km more on the odometer, in slightly better nick but also $5000 as compared to $4200, and I don't know that it was $800 better. Both the potentials need new tyres, though, which is the big one. So~ yeah, based mostly on the dollars and the fact that the one I linked up there is newer, currently going with that one. See what the RAA check says about it and go from there. If it makes me go DDD: then I can go with the other one.
I really hope I have a sodding car by the end of the week D: So sick of car shopping~
