back on topic, I wonder if the OP could at least get one of the cars through International Autosource, then as Mr Pardoe says they would have one new vehicle to rely on.

I don't know. BUT!!!!! I do have a nice little 1996 2.0 litre Auto VW Golf GL with a genuine 40,000 miles he can have for $5k. Belonged (this is dead serious) to a little old lady and has been sat for the last 3 years (she can't drive no more..she's got dicky peepers).

Metallic green with beige interior. Drives lovely...was going to use it for my winter beater for a year or two but I'd sell it and then get a $500 P.O.S to use for this winter.

Sorry Thydney, I didn't mean to offend you..... Or anybody else that might be reading along for that matter. Pardoes response to my question was totally out of proportion and it got me rattled that's all.

True, I still had a few dodgy moments in my 2 wheel drive truck with nothing in the bed, 5.9 litres, 2 wheel drive and ice don't mix well. With hindsight a 4x4 would have been better.
