Yes. Slow as fuck, but tons of fun and it looks really good imo. $1000 well spent.

Damn that's a steal

Ask a mechanic friend to take a look under the hood, just to check if anything is fucked up. Other than that, good car

im not sure if i understand this feel op

OP here. This is my son's truck. (yes, he's mine) Heading to the paint shop in the morning. Getting a cheap paint job thrown on it, so we're doing most of the prep work ourselves.

The truck still has dents in the roof, but you really can't see them from the ground, so fuckit. Econo has a shitty $300 paint job special for trucks, and because we're doing the prep, it may actually last a few years. But fuck, anything's better than how it looks now. The left door and fender are black, and there was surface rust on the roof, and the clear was dead all over.

This truck has the quad shock suspension, sits on 31's from the factory, and has a 351 in it with 3.55's with front and rear limited slip. It'll pull a fucking house down. Interior looks fantastic, too, so a paint job will be cool. He's a senior in HS this year, so he'll have this truck when he moves off to college next year.

cool miata bro

nice ae86 guy

When your gauge cluster is worth more than the rest of your car.

>>17892468
as for the real answer tho, set your goals in life a whole fucking lot higher and understand that this shit takes a ton of money and time and effort and hardship. so how much do you really like cars?

>>17892450
>Also any advice for first time Grand Prix owners?
everything breaks. everything is easily fixable aside from the radiator

>>17892288
Import a twingo.

What spec?

You're paying way too much OP

Get a better deal

Looks pretty much the same imo. Also this summer I went on a trip to greece with some family friends. We were 5 cars my astra, an x6, a mercedes c220 from 2003, a duster and a logan. And both dacias had issues with the fuel pump and had to stop on the highway even though they passed inspection a week before. Honestly I'd stay away from them. Why buy a shit new car when you can get an amazing one used for the same price?

Diesel engines?
Swedish coworker of mine has one, and the diesel fuel pump on it gave out at 27 000km. It was covered by warranty, but left him without a vehicle for two weeks because it had to be transported 3 hours away to the dealer that sold it for some reason

Your argument is very much the same as mine in regards to the Duster. If you want a small, practical and cheap crossover a used Suzuki SX4, Mazda CX-3, Kia Sportage, Skoda Yeti and more will be the same price as a new one of those, have more equipment and will be better built

Sure, its one of, if not THE cheapest mini-SUV out there, but even so the build quality is sub-par, and its not a good choice in my opinion

>>17893360
>mini SUV
don´t you mean shitty crossover?

For me, I'd go with one of these and actually travel through the country side, not just view it from the side of the road.

they're the best they've ever been when it comes to performance and mpg. The designs just suck.

i guess they are superior if you hate the overall experience of driving

>>17889722
This, but also they're increasingly being designed to handhold and take away from the driving experience.

Cars might be getting better, but they're definitely getting worse as well.

Also they look overstyled and edgy.

Betas get convinced by Stacey to buy a crossover to take the children out so Chad can come round in his M3 and fuck her

Because some people aren't as rich as you and can afford two cars. Also I know a guy who had a Supra MKIV but sold it to buy a minivan for his family. DESU it's mostly their wife's that make them sell it. If she's not happy, ur not happy, fucking bullshit

Could just need a recharge.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo dont

>>17893772
what seems to be wrong with the AC? Does the blower work and it just doesn't blow cold? Not even a tiny bit cold? If it doesn't blow cold enough but everything else works, a can of refrigerant from your local auto parts store can fix it. However, it could be something more serious.

Please refrain from hugging your car.
Hugging is a gateway to fucking your car.

But my car is a girl.

>>17893169
She's filling it up wrong because she's retarded or shes letting it run so low that the vapor from the tank is cutting it off when she fills up.

>>17893207
She goes 100 miles before filling up, the tank is much larger than that. On top of it, I've tried filling the gas tank, 2 in her family, and gas attendants at full serve have tried and everyone gets the same issue.

>>17893169
why not a hatch op? it would be better on gas and you could probably find lots in that price range.
