If that's out of your budget- my Verada wagon is for sale. It's been a fantastic car! I can cut you a deal aswell if you want....

Shit you are right Dre, 380 VRX's are cheap!

Wonder what they are like on the fuel around the city, probably better than the RVR.

about 12L/100kms driving like a nanna according to NERVIS who had one for a while.

thats pretty good for a big family car with all the bells and whistles.

seems 200kw with buckets of NA tq is easy to get out of them as well.

mint.

i would also have one of them (series 3 VRX), but in manual......
any pics?

a white one dropped on 19 or 20" bronze TE37s would look unreal.

theres also a cheapish TMR 380 fs atm

57,000kms, still under factory warranty till 12/2014 and was only 16k.

its had the front bumper resprayed and they sprayed over the stock gray lower lip like the 380 in QIK-257 photo.

Already found some nice wheels, but i will wait till its due for some tyres.
 
Mrs and I looked at and test drove a couple of VRX's recently and honestly boys, they are a nice newish car for the money as a daily driver/family car. The one I liked most was a blue one with the fully optioned leather interior. My Mrs didnt want it though :( BUT, to drive it feels exactly like our Ralliart Magna, no bullshit... only the VRX feels a little more of a front heavier and quieter car. Most of the parts in them are borrowed from the Magnas :) Anyhow, we gave up looking for a VRX 380 and ended up buying a genuine EVO III instead :lol:
 
Not yet Dre,


Will order a USDM Galant snorkel first and trying to sort out some bluetooth for the headunit.



/missus just saw this and said its not getting any mods :unsure:
 
looks good Craig , nice clean white to , I agree with the spoiler , the VRX already has one

Ive driven tons of 380s , I think Ive driven every model also, each one has been pretty nice, even the TMR380 was a blast

I got to say I would hunt one down a platinum with a sunroof , and get some bling rims and lower it , touch screen dvd


the only bad points with 380s are :
window regs , but very cheap to buy
fronts $150
rears $125
drivers seat base plastic trim and seat switch ususally break or have been replace

other than that , pretty good

Why not another Mitsi? I drive a CC wagon as a daily and love the lazy auto!
Euro sucks!

Agree, we've had an Astra and a Golf and they can be really costly.
The Astra was a disaster and the Golf (diesel) is great but potentially costly

I reckon another Mitsu for a short run daily.
I've got a ce turbo coupe you can have which is cheap, economical and definitely way retarded.
 
I'm looking too. Not buying just yet but trying to figure out what we want so I can pull the trigger as soon as we're back in Australia.

Ideally looking for a reasonable sized wagon with some go but not Stagea or Legnum/V8 fuel economy. RWD or AWD. Ideally Auto (never thought I'd say that) and something that'll look nice with a decent set of wheels and some lowered springs.

Any suggestions? Everything I like is FWD. I suppose I don't need an AWD but it'd be nice.
