Theres nothing wrong with an AU1, I had a futura and it was wonderful car. After a quick browse you can pick up an AU1 Futura with
ABS, Cruise, Power windows for under $4k. A far better pick up than a S1 forte which never had those.
You may get a S1 fairmont or S2&3 forte for that price, but naturally you would want it in good nick.
