i think he wants his own car thou. I was the same when i was younger. if it wasnt going too cause any problems i'd drive around in the hilux but if your dad uses it a fair bit i'd buy me own car. you will notice the running cost of a car pretty quick

yeah, i had a talk to dad, and he said the k's are a bit to high, though the ute itself is good. im gonna be driving his ute i think, and yeah, see how much it really costs to run and own.

Thats still allright! Gives you time to save more money to buy something with lower kms...low km AUII/III

Enjoy!

Costs to run an own? Guess it depends where you live a bit. Our car just gets serviced every 10,000kms and whatever parts changed when needed, which isnt often at all, and other than that, we get at least 700kms to the tank in it!
We're used to driving in a very relaxed manner in Busso, never any need to rush, and most of the time its doing country road kms. Very rarely any start stop kind of stuff.
Good luck!
