Exactly a V8 is a good second car but not as a daily driver cross family mobile. I'd love another v8 but cannot justify the day to day running costsQuote:

They're not worth much these days. To buy one for 11k you'd have to be incredibly lucky, though, more like $14k upwards from a private seller.
I bought a D2 V8. I did the sums and at 5000km a year as a second car, it's a matter of a few hundred bucks more in fuel, for a car I could afford to buy with my savings. I could have borrowed $5000 extra to get a Td5, to save $200 a year in fuel...
Well it's 1300km trip door to door, the tank is 130l, I put about 115L in it over a week after we got here in which I had done other running around.Quote:

lpg prices at the moment in Alice springs is closer to $0. 80 cents a litre,
