What about the Ferrari that's really a Datsun? Much cheaper parts and purchase price :D
Do you mean a 240Z? They're very cool =)
The Toyota 2000GT is my favorite Japanese classic, but probably one I'll never own (average auction price is well over $200,000 these days).

lancers, excels = rice cars.
a car with a 2, 2.5 or 2.6 (or the old school 3) litre engine in it that on average sit at around 200rwkws are not rice cars sweetie :p

my mum just bought an audi tt and i gotta say im very impressed. for a stock car it goes very very nice, good in a straight line and the 4wd grips nice in the hills. can really push it out the corners with the turbo as well as being absoulte luxury. leather on everything. will look nice once i get rid of those shitty stock mags and replace them with the spare set i have in the shed. audi with dish.... niicceee

skylines=ugly boy cars that often come with coffee can exhausts and GTR badges (even if they are really just a gts) that are uncomfy and un-classy, cheaply imported with rolled-back odo's (i know my fair share of importers) for boys who wanna go fast. did i mention they are ugly? every 18yr old kid owns one- hence the name "rice car". unless you have a r34 GTR (meaning ur not 21 andhave a fair amount of dosh) your driving a ricer and if you do have the money for it, it jsut shows money cant buy taste :P

I got this email yesterday, might help you out Ren:
New cars
Timing the purchase of a new car can be a tricky business. Several factors come into play, such as the model, time of week and time of month. Following are a few tips on timing. In order to get the most out of this though, you need to do your research, have a good idea of the best available price (without finance) that is likely to be offered and then stick to it.
New models: As new models hit the showroom floors, dealers are keen to clear out old stock. The time of year that this occurs varies according to the model. Go Auto provides a website with a New Car Diary that tells consumers when each model is due to go on sale in Australia. Once you have decided on the type of car you are interested in, pay close attention to dealership cycles for that vehicle.
As a rule of thumb, a lot of new stock is shipped in for September/October, particularly Japanese cars given Japan's fiscal year runs on a March to September cycle. Another big inflow occurs between March and June.
This can be a good strategy for those looking to hold a car for the long term. However, if you intend selling within a couple of years, make sure that you factor old-model pricing into your calculations.
Time of month: Often the end of the month can be a good time to shop for cars, given dealer bonuses are often calculated at this time. If the car dealer just needs to sell one extra car to make his bonus then it could be your lucky day.
Discontinued cars: Big discounts are usually available on discontinued models, however, the resale on discontinued models can be poor. So again, this is a strategy for a long-term hold. Make sure you buy a model with a strong past sales record so that spare parts are readily available.
Rebates: At certain times of the year, manufacturers will offer cash rebates on certain vehicles. Wait for these. Know your recommended price to ensure you get the full rebate and then try to bargain down on that to gain a real discount from the dealer.
Avoid weekend shopping: In the US, the weekend car buyer blitz is called the tuna run. Basically, there are so many people shopping that bait isn't necessary to sell the cars â all the dealers have to do is haul them in. If someone refuses to buy at a price then the dealers tend to hold out in the belief that another person will soon. So theoretically, if you shop on a weekday you have a better chance of negotiating a good deal.
Ex-lease vehicles: Some great deals can be had on ex-lease cars, particular on luxury vehicles. Ex-lease luxury cars are usually about six months old and come with all the extras included. Depending on mileage and condition, they can be very good value.
Once you have decided on the model you are interested in, contact a few dealerships and ask when the ex-lease vehicles will be brought in. Set your price before you buy and make it known to the dealer. Prices can vary as much as $10,000 on the same $50,000 to $60,000 vehicle, depending on the caryard and your negotiating skills.
