Dodge Ram SRT-10

You couldnt go past a KIA Carnival....get some change too, plenty of room,

every gadget needed and more, good camper potential , take out all the rear seats

roll out the swag....all it misses is 4x4......

Adolf/Oliver, PM me if you want info on Porsche. I used to work for them

Just in the process of buying one for wife, B180
Packed with newest gadgets and safety futures, self parking abillity etc.
Economical on the petrol too,





I am sure you could fit small board inside

^^^ Yeah, I'm on the same page ^^^

Want to but a car that I'll enjoy and may quite possibly go up in value - Mid 80s Porche 911 Carreara's also seems very appealing.

Mark you seem to have alot to add but not in adolf's direction.

You sound like a scorned man who is jealous

Giving options for a ford is like saying I ordered you a stripper and a fatagram shows up.

Seriously..... only one option:

Subaru XV

If it were me, I would buy something that I could use and enjoy. I'm more of a classic fan myself. So would be a nice 55 - 57 chev wagon or similar.

There is a nice 60 caddi coupe going cheap on gumtree in perth... not sure if the seats fold down in the back though, but the boot is massive.

I don't think you will get any money back on a porsche suv, I think they will keep going down in value until about $15000 where they will then just keep getting resold for similar money to people who want to own a porsche, much like the Porsche 924.

At the same time... it's only money and if you want it, buy it :) You should still get roughly half your money back later on when you want something else.

It's even got roof racks for my SUP.

r u going gay and lebanese? Chrome wheels? WTF that doesn't say "I've made it".

Piss losers like Log Man off with this... $40k new


Water repellent seats = NO more getting changed when going for a bite... after doing whatever u do in the sea.

You know when you're stuck in traffic and you can't turn around cos there's a high'ish lane divider, and you're scared of farking the bottom and steering alignment?

Sorry Adolf... but in my book there's only one thing worse than a new Cayenne, and that's someone rolling around in an old Cayenne.

Not only does it say "tool who wants to impress" but also "not rich enough to buy a new one". It's the worst of both worlds. In the UK they are cheap as chips these days because second-hand ones have such a stigma attached to them and cost so much to run (check www.ebay.co.uk)

Don't buy a Cayenne, please.

Range Rover would be ideal, but if you actually want something that you can take offroad, get a Discovery 3 HSE.

Leather interior, shed loads of toys and options, incredible off road, immensely comfortable (they are, afterall, basically a Range Rover Sport) and then spec it with an ARB bar and some lightforce. No-one will ever pull out in front of you again.

A mate has one and I love borrowing it. Awesome car.

They handle extremely well and both the TD and V8 have got insane amounts of torque.

I'd have one in a heartbeat.





PS -
Also, to anyone who reckons that a second-hand 911 may go up in value.... Only certain Porsches hold their value, so you've got to get the exact right model at the exact right time in their depreciation curve. In addition, you've GOT to be prepared to do the work yourself.

Old Porsches need new parts just like anything else. Parts are NOT cheap and the labour costs associated with a garage you'd actually trust to do the work are astronomical. I can speak from experience here as I've had a 993 and still own a 944 in the UK. I spent a lot of money on the 993 and I've spent a lot of time getting the tools on the 944.

They are awesome cars, but be prepared that it is going to cost you money to play in that pool.

I'd spent $20k or less and put the rest towards a sailboat

This car would tick all the boxes.

As a bonus there is plenty of space in the boot to take all those unsold airswimmers to the tip.

Lots of good suggestions. I don't think the Cayenne will happen, it was just this passing drunken thought I had, when I first saw that I could actually afford one.

Those newer Toyota cruisers look good - probably would like to take one for a test drive. I also want to take a 2005 BMW 530D out also.

Getting back to finding a car that appreciates or holds its value. It would be good to get a car that goes up in value instead of down. My mum owned a 60s Mercedes convertible which appreciated over the 5 years she had it. There were no big costs or issues with that.

At the risk of going all over the place with this thread - do you reckon a 2002 - 2004 Monaro will appreciate? You can pick up a good one for around $22K

Most have been thrashed same as WRXs. Dont get a 911 uless you have a massive bank account.

This would have the f-off factor...
Dakar Toureg on the outside, and normal luxury Toureg on the inside!
