Watchman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 A nice idea but sadly I dont think you can get a 4dr5 for that price. If you're keen on getting a vehicle, i think a Mini might be the best option. There's a few in the classified slightly above ur budget but you should be able to manage it. Or how about a trip to Europe or Africa or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDon Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Wow 500k birthday present!!!....and to think all I got my father for his last birthday was a tooth brush and a Clarence CD... :S You know I come across this "I'm buying this car for my dad/mum" thing a lot...and somehow I find it to be a load of BS.

A Golf will be nice but I'm not sure if there are many GTis of that genre in SL. A Celeste is a better bet but even with those only a few examples were available and I haven't seen one in a while. There was a lovely Fiat 600 for sale a couple of months back for 350K and that type of car would be ideal if your dad is into classics. Personally it sounds like your dad has enough money to buy himself any vehicle he wants, so the thought is wonderful but perhaps you need to think outside the box a bit .....?

kelum_wj Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Dingy, Finding a 4DR5 for that price range is really difficult, but how about a Beetle? You can get a good 1300 bug for that price There was one with a 1600cc twin carb engine had all round disk+ semi bucket seats in front. Was advertised on HitAD last Sunday Your dad would enjoy driving around in a car like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly when someone suggests something you shoot it down so what's the point... Or is it you just trying to be a pora by showing that you're buying your dad a car (with money that came from him to begin with :roll-eyes:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
