No, your autobox will fail and die well before the aluminium casing rusts!

Brad i dont feel as your comments are relevant to my original thread and would ask you to make constructive advice on my threads or not bother commenting please.

I may be new here and dont want to rock the boat but these are my feelings on my thread and your the only one tipping the apple cart!!

I was just joining in the off topic fun Don't worry about upsetting me at all. Say what you want and do what you want, I don't hold grudges at all and don't mind a little arguing here and there

You seem to be a pretty smart guy, you'll figure out the way to get the best VR-4 that suits you fine.

isnt there only one way really to decide which one is right for you and thats to get in a few and drive them (drive them with heart and passion) and pick the one that makes you go WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE most!!!
the rest o it is just details there are badly maintained low milage cars and well maintained high milage cars as well as badly maintained high milage cars (best avoided) and well maintained low milage cars (like rocking horse poo). it's a lottery but good luck with the search but trust me the WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE factor is most important!!

When I bought mine the rate was 235Y/£ (may 08) - it's now ~130Y/£. To buy the same yens worth of car now would set me back the thin side of £6k (albeit pre-recession, pre £1 ltr super **** prices - which affects the value of these cars massively). Despite that - I'd still go for an import (the recession hits Japanese 2nd values too).

It's a tough call - but whatever you decide go into it informed. Read the buyer's guide. Ask for members input (I was surprised as fook at what the folk on here could spot on 5-7 photos of a car). If possible get an "in the flesh" opinion of the car from a member. There's a good number in the NW.

As for dealers - I'd a(be)ware of the ones near you: <Cough>ly.
