    1991 Subaru Brumby Ute (MUST READ CAR AD!)

    1991 Subaru Brumby Ute (MUST READ AD!)
    $5,000.00
    Margaret River WA 6285 view on map



    Fabricated from rare minerals excavated from the core of Mount Olympus, artfully designed by Zeus and skillfully handcrafted in the Land of the Rising Sun by the deft hands of the infamous 7 Samurai. This Japanese rice-rocket is unquestionably the most heroic form of transport since the Apollo 11 lunar module.

    Searching for a delightful automobile to ferry you to Angus and Robertson to buy Fifty Shades of Grey, or perhaps cart little Timmy to clarinet lessons? Do me a favour, smash your laptop on the ground, give yourself an uppercut and take a good, long look in the mirror. Frankly, I’m offended.

    If, on the other hand, you’re hunting for the most diabolical slab of precious metal to be synthesised during the Big Bang, please continue…

    To date, the most monumental day of your existence was your wedding, or the birth of your children. That’s about to change! In fact, you’d trade your spouse and all of your offspring just to test-drive this barbarian.


    FACTS:

    In 1885, this car transported the Statue of Liberty to New York City from Paris.

    Cast as KITT in 1982’s Knight Rider TV series, but eventually deemed too intelligent for the role.

    Manufactured in 1991, this Brumby was responsible for the Grunge movement. If Kurt Cobain owned one, Nirvana would still be thrashing out tunes.

    I drove it to my last job interview and my employer handed me his résumé.

    If you were to be run over by this beast, you’d have to fight off the strong urge to thank the driver.

    When the cops pulled me over a few weeks ago, they were lucky to leave with a warning.


    SPECIFICATIONS:

    Bullbar forged from unicorn horns.

    2 seats (thrones) upholstered with Albino Panda fur.

    Stereo system used for sound engineering the U2 360 tour.

    Built-in chick/dude magnet (it knows your preference).

    Integrated time machine (takes you back to 1991 when you step inside)

    Powered by nuclear fusion (makes Coles/Woolies fuel vouchers redundant)

    Windscreen wiper jets filled with the tears of Jesus (washes away the most sinful grime)

    No power steering (so you better start pumping iron to shred your biceps)

    Analogue clock (ask your Grandfather how to read it).


    PRICE:

    $5,000 or 6.5kg of freshly minted Swiss gold bullion

    Reasonable offers accepted.

    (Example of a reasonable offer: $10,000 +)

    nice cars, but the cost is not the initial price, it's the maintenance of them.

    I buy them new, but in this scenario I would rather have the Ute - it's honest that's why.

    Seeing as a new car in the uk loses about 30% of its value as soon as the first owner takes possession it makes better financial sense to purchase second hand and let the mug who paid full price take the hit.

    Thats the same mug who just has to be seen in a vehicle with the latest date specific registration plates that mark the car out as a new purchase, similar to the red plate madness of thailand.

    In the uk there is good consumer protection for purchasers of second hand cars, and there is little to fear in buying one.

    The uk cars listed above are cheap because the cost of fuel, insurance and road tax is so high for those types of vehicles. Maintenance costs wont be that different to those for mainstream cars.

    As far as maintenance costs go on the Jag and Merc, at that price you could hope to run it for a couple of years and if any big problems arose, ditch it and get another.

    I buy them new, but in this scenario I would rather have the Ute - it's honest that's why.
    I only used those as examples as to the price of cars.
    Those Jags and Mercs are very good value, less then 100k on them they should be good fo another 100.
    There are loads of them, they're certainly not all as you described.
    This is to compare the cost of used cars in Britain to that of Australia, where for some reason 2nd hand cars are FUCKING expensive. I reckon it's the ADR keeping all the cheap jap imports out.

    Anyway, what makes you think the Brumby's honest?
    I didn't see anything in that ad that would make me think so.
    5k for a (Not classic or in great condition luxury) 22 year old car? I don't think so.
