projectaero is an unknown quantity at this point
Default What should i do - $3000 to spend on S12

Hey guys.
Firstly i don't have the money yet but will then.
I am in the process of buying a new car ( a s12) come February.
Now i am trying to work out what you suggest i do.

Option 1 - Buy a s12 for around the $3000aud mark probably from someone on the s12 forum who have put the time, effort into it who are looking at upgrading.

Option 2 - Buy a cheap $500 gazelle what is in alright condition, get a CA18DET for $1000 and spend around $500 more on the engine and work on other things.

I wont be buying from a car dealership as they sell gazelle's for around $3000 stock... so .

I have family who can help me who are in the mechanics business but it may taker a while or cost a bit..

Cheers
