Cheap car buying/mechanical advice

[mikey]

spend five hundred max, dont worry about rego an wofs. if it shits itself, buy another 500 dollar car an burn it down the coast road. if you can go through five five hundred dollar cars a year then your a dumbass for buying it.

Mr Mikey's suggestion is actually a surprisingly practical one. Buy the cheapest most boring car you can find. $500 soudns a good price. Just amke sure it is not noisey. If you drive sedately in a non noisey car it will be literally years before you are likely to be pulled up and face a fine for wof or rego.

ONE WARNING Do **NOT* buy a diesel. Cos of the road tax thing. If you are caught they (LTSA or some such pricks) will do you for ALL the back miles. Rego, it's just a $400 fine.

EDIT Remember to put the rego on exemption if it is still current when you buy the vehicle.

dont park it where the parking natzis can see it because they love no rego/wof cars
