Hey guys looking for a cheap run around, some bottom feeder stole our little mazda last night so need something to commute.
Looking at spending around $1000 but preferably less
don't really care what it is as long as it has a good working heater and is reliable (I don't want it to take away from time I can work on the datsun)
Needs to be in christchurch area.

Cheers
Nick

I was gonna derby it next feb in the Kamakazi Derby so just make us an offer.

Good runner but has a slow waterpump leak (Need to topup once a week) also just done the left C.V.

Cheers,

Clay.

Probably best if you come round for a look, rust isn't too bad (Looks like previous owner has painted some sort of rust killer on it)

Reg & wof run out in the next couple of weeks, It has a good heater but it drips a bit on the passenger side when it is raining hard.

Looking for $400, so if you spent $100 and a bit of time you would have a pretty reliable car.

Has always started first go & did just now after sitting there for a month.

haha might do, depends what insurance give me.
I'll probably just get the car my mates lent me. He only wants $400 for it with reg and WOF and a head unit, it does smell like wet dog but nothing one of those nifty strawberry shaped air freshners didn't fix! :)
All going to plan i'll be driving the 1200 within 6 months so i'm not really too fussed what i'm driving till then.
