I'm New!!! Looking to buy - Advice Appreciated

Postby jakegts » Mon Feb 18, 2013 6:42 am

Hey All,

I am looking to buy a car for my girlfriend and myself as we are expecting our first child.
So far all we have been able to agree upon is either a Subaru Forester XT (SG series) or a Liberty (Spec.B or Tuned by STI - both Wagons).
Whichever car we get it must be an automatic and leather seats is preferred. It will be the daily driver for carrying the kid around.
I have chosen those vehicle's as they will keep a moderate amount of performance and is an excellent compromise for carting ourselves, a kid and all of the things the kid would need whilst driving or being on the move.

Our previous cars were a Skyline, 200SX, Monaro CV8, Custom 2.5 WRX STI, CRX and a 2JZ Soarer.
Currently we have an Accord Euro (2004) & a Suzuki Swift (2007).
I would love to get a complete car so I wouldn't have to do any modifications (CAI, Rims, subtle bodykit, STI scoop, Slightly lowered, whiteline kit).

The long and the short of it.
Does anyone know of a quality car (either of the above 3, Foz preferred) for sale at a reasonable / fair / respectable price? (*or possible trade plus cash for one of our existing cars but outright purchase is not out of the question*)
Could anyone offer advise in either purchasing a car or any general advise for buying, servicing, owning or common problems and what to expect for repairs ($$$$$ wise).
Please PM me rather than clog my intro thread up if you have a car to recommend.

Thanks and please feel free to contact me.
Jake

Forgot to mention im in NSW.

Budget is fairly healthy too. Not wanting to state specifics but the right car will command the correct price.

Brad has one for sale in the for sale section (08 TB STi sedan 6MT) - might be worth checking out.
