Cant choose

[Jack91]

Well, I have officially about 10K to spend on a nice car but would rather spend $7000 or so and have some left for mods.

Ive narrowed my search down to:

EL xr6/8
XH xr6/8
AU high series (mont, mont ghia)
AU xr6/8 sedan
AU xr6/8 ute
BA xt sedan

Ive been stewing over these for the past month or so and I know that as soon as I buy one Im gonna think "dammit, should've got this instead". Im at the point now where I really dont know what I want.

All I know is its got to be comfortable, good looking, super reliable and cruise control as standard is a plus but not essential.

I know a BA would be perfect for highway (what it'll be primarily used for) but I keep reading about lemons with major diff problems, gearbox, paint etc etc.

Then theres AU, again, perfect for highway, maybe better than BA even, but Im not sure I can live with that non xr look just yet.

The AU xr's seem like a wise choice for a few reasons: power, reliability and looks and they will probably have good resale for a while yet. The only problem is all the ones on ebay just feel dodgey, like so cheap you have to wonder why its cheap.

The problem is they all have their good and bad points and being in Tassie Im going to have to go to the mainland to pick it up but dont want to go any further than Victoria.

So can some of yous tell me what youd do in my situation?
