I've mainly ridden motorbikes all my life.
Occasionally I've needed a motorcar and since my sweetheart was 630kms round trip over the Blue Mountains, I got a 1998 C70 with 45000 on clock for not a lot of money.
Now my sweety lives only 40 mins away and I've virtually given her the car. I use her Nissan to do big shopping jobs.
Last weekend we went South of Sydney and I drove the car again. It was great. I'd never enjoyed luxury like this - even my 'newest' bike was a 1984 R65BMW.
For a few months now, around the corner there's been a nice enough looking S40 in standard trim with 100k on clock for $3000. One owner.
I took it for a spirited spin today and though not having the oomph of the C70 (or my new W800 motorbike I bought last year), it felt nice.
Roofing sagging and cloth seats. Everything else felt tight.
I didn't ask if the belt'd been changed.
Any thoughts, tips or suggestions? I can get the car for less I believe.
