Hi Guys,

What sort of money are you looking at for an engine rebuild on a 2wd and a 4wd cossie lump?

Cheers

Cheers guys.

I was asking because i'm in the middle of deciding wheather to buy a cossie or an RST.

I would so love a cos but I'm a little worried about running costs and reliablity - what do you think?

Shall I just go for it or shall I be a little more sensible and go for the RST which is a little cheaper to run.

its personal choice mate. What do you want/can afford etc, i've had RST's before my cos any they were cheaper to run by along way and alot of fun, the cos isn't an everyday car imo just due to the cost of fuel let alone maintenance but i'll never go back to an RST now.

I can afford the RST no problem, but I would probably be scraping the barrel if I went for a Cos.

I think I have made up my mind anyway now, It's gonna be the RST, then in a few years i'll go for the Cos.

Cheers mate
