This is the only real option you have left op
>>17816909
Fuck, I knew it.
Any cool mods for this flop
You can paint it red and get a spoiler so it looks like a bad NSX replica for all I care
>>17816649
Lmao do it
Turbo it pussy.
Can you find an even more densely-packed engine bay (in a normal production street car?
do not want!
not modern but nissan micra
You see how you can get the battery out?
volvo S80
twin turbo straight 6
in fwd
Is this autotragic piece of shit worthy of being the new go-to weeb meme car, or is the Trueno still better?
What a thread...
the Trueno was outclassed in 1983
You know, you could just like, not make shitty gtr vs x threads.
Redpill me on this one.

Seems fairly preserved. I wanna draw flames on it with cheap spray paint and do donuts in the snow.

It's a shit car and the rear lights have been changed. For that price it's alright I guess.
>>17815282
Thats my take on it, its 280 euros. I'd even write cheeky breeky on the side in good spirit

Go for it then. Also, Jebem ti mater u picku, my friend.
Nc Mx5
Test drove a few of these and would prefer them to the NA and NB simply for Daily driving.
I heard these are a lot less reliable than the first two generations. Mainly due to the engine.
>Poor reliability after around 80,000 - 100,000 miles
>The engine is prone to throwing a rod due to oil starvation.
>Excessive oil consumption.
>The engine being part built by ford.
>Replacement engines expensive and rare, apparently due to them all being fucked.
These are things i have heard from a friend who is a breaker and parts fitter for mx5's, and from multiple forums.
What are your experiences?
Are they a good or bad car for reliability, especially compared to the NA/NB models?
LS swap it
>>17814420
BRZ swap it
>>17814420
How was the test drive? I'm also thinking about getting one of these in the PRHT form because it would be my only car and subject to street parking. Really hoping the trunk can at least fit one reasonably-sized suitcase.
How do I learn stick at 25 :(
>>17812997
youtube
$700 geo metro and an afternoon at an empty backwoods parking lot
Buy a car with a MT and start driving it. Watch some Youtube videos. If you know someone who drives stick or knows how, have them give you a lesson.
It's just about practice. Once you get the first few shifts down successfully, the rest will come in time. You're basically using your whole body to drive the car, it's an applied skill so the only way to learn it is through practice.
Do it bro, it's good to know. Plus it places you higher on the hierarchy of men - any guy who can't drive stick will ALWAYS be inferior.
>want to buy car
>go to dealership
>sales people ignore you the entire time
>too autistic to approach any of them
>End up leaving
Go find the manager and tell him you want to buy a car. It will make him mad no one approached you.
Did you look homeless or something?
Hell, I ran into the sales guy from our Jeep stealership after visiting once at the Firestone in town and he still tried sell me a car
They valet my fucking moms camry when I got there to try to sell me my first car
How did you not get approached
I have a tight $2,500 budget and I have been looking for semi-new commuters recently, what do you guys think of the 2008 Kia Spectra HB?
I found this one on CL with 80k miles for $2,450 and I'm seriously considering it.

I would love a fun weekend car, but that's for another time. Is this a reliable car to own for the time being?
Also I would really appreciate it if someone ran a thorough VIN check on this for me.
I also have this very nice Jeep Grand Cherokee on my sights for $2,400.
However, because of how pristine it is, I'm afraid it's going to be sold faster than the Spectra. Has a very high mileage though.
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/d/2001-jeep-grand-cherokee/6263152832.html
Which one should I be focused on?
>>17812362
kek, I just noticed the redundancy
>pristine
>high mileage
don't crucify me
>>17812362
Grand cherokees are shit.
The spectra looks ok, not my style though.
Im in the same boat, I bought a 4cylinder Toyota tercel. It gets 36 mpg and is solid.
Only paid 700$.
I was thinking about getting a VW Golf GTi Mk1 or Mk2 for my first car. I'm willing to make some repairs every so often.
Thoughts?
Good shit boss. I have an mk5 jetta and realllllly want an mk2 for a project.
Shouldn't be that hard to find parts for depending on where you live.
>Local shop restores cars and puts them up front for sale
>Lot of beetles, vw buses, and 'stangs
>drive by one day and see a mk1 in the works

>>17812363
Island volks shop? They sound exactly like that place.
At least people are having a sens of humor about it
Have you seen gas prices lately? This isn't funny.
>>17811895
katrina 2.0 actually. wall street speculators had a field day driving up prices of oil. home builders charging more for houses because muh materials are more spensive due to katrina and oil. good thing my car gets 40mpg
>>17811916

First, i know we need fool who buy new cars for have them priceless in the used market, but i can't imagine buy a brand new car...
I'm not talking about people who don't know anything about cars or those who don't like it.
I'm not talking either about anyone able to pay a 200k car without even thinking about it ( i understand for them ).
But under 100k of budget it seems crazy to me to buy a new car. Everytime i see a car budget i imagine what used supercar i could buy with this.
Yes.
No.
Sometimes.
itt cars that make you moist
