ChickeBabe's Aus Forum BIGGEST THREAD EVAR!!! - Page 105

Chickebabe, I reckon you should keep it.

Buying and Selling cars is a waste. I say buy one ... drive it until the wheels fall off and buy another one.

I look after my car well - I've just been out of the "I want to get rid of my car" stage, but I keep forgetting that I wouldn't be happy with a car in the 30-40k range ... let alone another 2nd hand car!

You will always lose money with cars ... maintaining the one you have will see you lose less, however once it becomes an extreme burden (costing you $1.5k+ per service over a long period of time) ... I'd say to get rid of it.

But that aside, we all knew our cars weren't the Toyota Corollas of the world ... so we are to expect they putt putt and conk out from time to time ... at least we're doing better than BMW drivers

**Chickebabe** · 11-10-04, 6:16

Yeah i agree with what your saying there... problem is I have spend thousands on this car.... and its not going at the moment.. therefore I will need to spend more on it pretty soon.... ad so with insurance and rego, and then noraml keeping costs its alright.. but when its costing money to constantly keep the car going it makes me wonder!!!

But.... deep down i love the car... just wish it would keep going....

**Cromax** · 11-10-04, 6:45

I think you just need a boyfriend who knows a bit about cars

Or ... if you move up to Melbourne, some of us could show you where to get cheaper parts & stuff ... some of us could even help you out with a few things ... most of us up here would be most glad to help a lass in distress ... especially if she drives a Mazda

**crusty** · 11-10-04, 6:50

I won't sell my 6. I've had it 10 years in january.

**skip_in_a_6** · 11-10-04, 7:12

nice
i aint gonna sell mine
u know how many 2nd gens there is hotted up and modded in melb
i think i will become one of the rare cars

**Ribfeast** · 11-10-04, 18:10

My car is serving me well and hasnt let me down for some time now. Still on its original O2's at 145,200kms. I want something faster though, got chopped by a Hyundai S-Coupe (turbo mind you) at the lights the other day, it was embarrassing! Saw a black JZA70 Supra with a 1JZ motor in it, 300rwhp for $14k, tempting

I think Cromax is suggesting that he would like you to come up and be his girlfriend.....

**1989MX6** · 11-10-04, 18:22

Sounds like he's asking, Chickebabe!

It's a pity the community isn't larger in Tassie though. At least here you'd get plenty of guys off the board to help you out straighten your car out. These guys have already offered! Maybe you should save the cash you'd otherwise spend at a mechanics' and spend a few weeks in Victoria? Your car will love you forever....

**DarkSlayer** · 11-10-04, 20:18

so far in the last 2 months ive spent over $2k getting the car going properly. not on mods or anything but just fixing things. as much as i like the car, i want something that wont cost so much to keep going.
and if Da Rush evers sells his 2nd gen, im there cos that car is sweet.

**Chickebabe** · 11-10-04, 23:00

Well sounds like thats settled.. Im moving to Melbourne... hehe

Yeah we do need more mx6 people down here... A bunch of you could just move on down here?? Theres an idea ???

At the moment its got a burnt out wire coming from the starter motor. Not sure if its a soloniod or the actual starter motor. Just annoying. Going to take it to an electicion and start there.. just frustrating having this sexy car that i cant drive.... grrr!

**SABBAi** · 11-10-04, 23:58

And you can tell everyone that you went overseas.

haha 1570.

**Chickebabe** · 11-11-04, 0:26
