Thought id ask on here for an impartial view since it does not include a toyota
Well heres my situation, in about 4 years me and the girlfriend are moving to canada and I am looking for a car to pretty much stick with me till then...
My plan is to sell my DC2 as i need quick cash for a house deposit (looking to buy early next year) and get a newer car on finance....
Now i am not a fan of finance but I am not the best saver so i feel this is the best way since i can afford to do so. I intend to buy a house where i can move in 2 mates, they well pretty much cover my mortgage.... when the right time comes sell the house, sell the car and move to canada, hopefully by this time i will have a bit of money saved up also and have plenty of money for the move
Anyways onto the cars lol!! I need to decide asap, looking to buy in 4 weeks as this is when my insurance is due. Here are my choices...
Integra DC5 - around 8-10k, 31mpg, £1500 insurance
EP3 CTR - 6-8k, 31mpg, £1000 insurance (would have to fit a LSD )
350z GT - 10-14k, 24mpg, £950 insurance
RX8 231 - 6-8k, 24mpg(claimed but apparently alot less), £850 insurance
I have it set in my head that i dont want to pay much over a grand for insurance but i do have my heart set on a DC5
But to note these are my best quotes so far, but havin said that i am 22, 3yrs ncb, 0 claims or convictions, so i dont think im going to get much better!!
I am looking for the best all round car, something i can live with pretty easily and is fun to drive, cheaper the better to run altho i do only do about 200-300 miles a week so its not a massive issue.
I am struggling to weigh up the pros and cons... i think the want for a DC5 is clouding my vision lol!
Also am i right to think the DC5 would probably depreciate the least due to its rarity??
