Only ever bought one vehicle brand new in 45 years of driving. My list consists of:
1965 VW beetle - Bought cheap by Dad and we did it up together
1973 Chrysler (Mitsubishi) GB Galant wagon - bought it off Mum & Dad. Traded in with 110,000 miles on the clock.
1978 Ford Escort 2 litre 4 door - Only brand new car ever. Absolute pocket rocket of a car but I killed it in 130,000 km.
1980 Ford Falcon XD 4.9 litre V8 wagon - Base trim GL but V8, 4 wheel discs, LSD.
Then we get into cars I "had" but didn't own.
1985 (ish) Nissan Bluebird Twin Spark. First "company" car.
1988 Falcon EA sedan. Original one with the 3 speed auto.
1986 Holden Commodore VK. Moved jobs and had a temporary car until the new one was delivered.
1989 Falcon EA Sedan. Update with the 4 speed auto.
1991 Falcon EB Sedan.
1993 Falcon ED XR6. First one with the quad headlights.
Then I changed jobs and went back to having to buy my own. Bugger.
1996 Falcon EF Fairmont. With Tickford suspension and 6 cylinder engine.
1998 Falcon EL XR8. Last of the E series. Kept this one 8 years.
2004 Mitsubishi NP Pajero GLX DID.
1996 Falcon XH Longreach Ute. Cheap hack bought as a work bus.
2009 Mitsubishi NT Pajero VRX DID. Still have this one.
2018 VW Passat Highline Wagon 2.0 TDI. You don't need a BMW or Mercedes any more.
The best car I have ever owned is the Passat. Quiet, comfortable, pretty torquey and ridiculously economical. Try 4.8 l/100km on the open road. Other favourites are the Escort which was a hoot on a dirt road and the two XRs. The XR6 was quicker than the equivalent V8 Falcons and Commodores of the day. The XR8 was great fun and they had sorted all the bugs out by this stage of that body series so I never had any trouble with it.
