Considering buying a liberty

Post by kona480 » Wed Apr 14, 2010 7:47 pm

Hi
recently I have been thinking of selling the brumby and buying a liberty wagon, non turbo because I'm on my P's. I'm not sure which body shape I like better the older (92 etc.) or later (96-8 etc.) I would probably looking to spend no more than about $7000, which seems about right according to car sales. What do you guys think? and how do they go? how would a non turbo liberty go compared to my stock brumby? And also feel free to post some pictures or your car or some nice ones. I'm interested in on road, lowered etc. not so much off road.
Cheers
Shayne

You'll miss the brumby!!!

The liberty should go well if you're comparing it to the brumby ;)

Go for a gen 2 Outback, legally gives you about 2 more inches to play with if you decide to lift it.

35mm but as mentioned you'll miss the brumby plus if you want handling my brumby beat my liberty and outback hands down not to mention my old calais and dads Peugeots.
Personally i'd pend the money on a crossbred kit and an EJ 18 or 20 single cam! then get it engineered and its worth more than a liberty and more fun to drive!
87 targa brumby (Neglected),
92 targa brumby (weekend runabout),
97 Lifted Outback (Dailey drive),
05 outback safety (Too cheap to pass up),
90 model liberty (was to be scrapped instead sold to workmate)
+ others.
