S13 silvia....or the 180sx(which is about same as the silvia, cept smaller engine and few changes).
but thats if you really know how to drive a car....those can be dangerous on wet roads.
btw how much is that in USD?

You could look at an EB-ED or VN-VP for something that would be big and relatively fast. Economy might be a problem though and for something easier to drive around, you might look at like an old Corolla or something similar that would only have a 4cyl

oh, and NO holdens.
thanks for the input so far guys.
maybe something that i could insure?
ive seen some old merc's and jags for 5 / 7 grand.. old classic sort of things.

$10K? You're a Subaru fan Whiteballz, so get yourself a mid 90s Liberty. Should be able to find a a second generation '95 Liberty GX AWD for about that. Go non modified and insurance shouldn't be too extreme. Or get a non-turbo Impreza from about 96-98.

ive spotted some older subaru wagons in my price range, but most have been modified..
i would rather stay away from those as owners usualy 20 somthing asswipes who think they know it all flog them senceless.

Well the car would be pretty safe at least. I wouldve thought the Liberty would be almost ignored and people wouldve jumped straight at the Impreza

Maybe a N/A 300zx? They're fair cheap here at least, dunno about Aussie.
Or how about a MX5?

If you want to buy a car in M'sia, an old second-hand Civic may cost you RM3,000 at least. (about 900 AUD)seriously! but i don't think you would wanna buy that, and i don't think the price will match in AUS.

An old Merc or Jag...spare parts would be hell...

They'd be more for the nostalgic fan, someone who finds pleasure in keeing an older car running. A first car you want something cheap to repair, economical and cheap to buy originally. Your pretty likely to crash it anyway so why crash a good car?

maybe a cheap datto...

It'd be a good start, if you could find one for about $1-2K (hopefully with also 12 months rego) then you can save the rest for your next car.
