Hello /o/, this is my first time on here, and I thought it would be cool to try it out. I am a junior in highschool and I am thinking of purchasing my first car. The problem is I don't know much about cars in general. The car (pic related) I plan to buy is the Mitsubishi 3000gt. I've wanted this car since freshman year because one of my senior friends drove one and it was so beautiful. I happened to find one for sale near me in a town 20 minutes away by some chance. This 3000GT for sale is automatic, the mileage is 98k. I've saved up money from a job and I have a little over 8,000$ saved up. This car is listed as 6000$, what do you guys think? Should I make this purchase? Are there more things I should research?

$8,000 is pretty high for a 3000GT.

I turn the child/window locks on so they're stuck down in my bright blue fagmobile and blast shit like "hello kitty" by avril lavigne and sign along with it at stop lights in traffic to embarrass my gf. Still wondering why she hasn't left me.

>Are R33 GTSts reliable for daily driving
Most are pretty fucked, but if you fix it up and don't do stupid shit it'll treat you well enough. Parts are reasonably available.
It's a huge cop magnet though, and fairly fuel thirsty.

If you already have a 92-94 Blazer, what more do you need? Drop an NV4500 and L29 into it. You can even convert it to RHD if you want once you get there.

Ve commodore wagon
Patrol Navara hilux even a Land cruiser
R33 gtst is fine for daily drivijg if you buy a good one, can get a r34 gtt for that price though

Are C6 Corvettes really that much better than C5s?
I have a 2003 C5 now and all the 90s-designed GM crap is starting to wear on me. I've also figured out, if you add up all the parts I've had to replace, I could have making the payment on a C6 instead (assuming nothing broke on it).

The whole point of a Corvette is to put GM's highest performing V8 in a light, aerodynamic chassis and everything else comes from the parts bin. I don't think a C6 will be much of an interior improvement.

It's not stupid. Motorcycles emit more particulates, CO, and NOx than cars. You know, literal poison gases at street level.
What's stupid is not even letting motorcycles filter to the front of red lights so they just sit there, idling through traffic along with the monster trucks, holding up additional cars so they just sit there and idle, because "all motor vehicles are the same and must abide by the same rules".
>Americans
>Smart
You can't even park your bike wherever it fits and does not obstruct traffic, but if it has pedals instead of pistons, go ahead, lean it against whatever the fuck you want because it's not a motor vehicle!

I live in the south, I rarely leave the pavement, and I don't have to worry about snow. Hell, I should get one.
>Craigslist later that year. Most trucks need a ton of work, but I want the inline 300 and a stick. Most ppl want ~$2k.

>Guy wants $1000. Truck has 300,000 miles.

OMG what a beast. Drove down the street and fixed the vacuum problem same day. Under all the mud is nice paint. I've got about $1000 in parts in it and $1000 worth of craigslist wheels and BFGoodrich KO2's. '
Without a doubt the best purchase I've ever made. I parked my E39 just to drive this thing around most of the time. Cheaper on gas than the BMW, takes regular, and drives like a 100,000 mile truck. Classic styling, and built like an absolute tank. Its definitely a life hack, not as old as an F100, but not plastic new either.

Haven't bought, just looked it up out of curiosity. This looks like quite a deal but the lack of interior pics scares me. What do you guys think? https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used-Honda-Civic-CRX-d587#listing=172844254

I would worry about Indiana rust more than the interior. Price seems steep for what it is. Is that the engine that got 50mpg?

Pretty much this, also if work costs are involved.
