I don't, I'd love to get one desu. They look like fun cars to drive

>>17550822
/o/ doesn't. Murican shitposters pretend to because murica doesn't build good cars so they meme good ones out of spite

if you want reliability, stick to the 328, especially like 09 or 10, also see if the water pump has already been done, that would be a nice bonus since that's the car's achilles heel.

get it manual and rwd as well for added reliability.

you could also consider a 128 since those were lighter, smaller, and generally more fun. downside is the looks are....polarizing

>>17550719
by the way i only recommend 09+ because the water pump is less likely to go out on those, and various minor things got redesigned to last longer, but something pre 09 with an already replaced water pump will be ok as well

thanks for the input! I'm actually looking for [spoiler]an automatic[/spoiler]
I can drive the stick no problem, but I'm a lazy fucker and prefer the leisurely nature of [spoiler]automatics[/spoiler]

So on 09+ the water pump issue is no longer a problem?

Also I'm in europe, if it makes any difference

>128
never seen the sedan on the streets, and the hatchback is ghastly

Life is boring.

Take risks.

Miss out on riding a bike so I can live for a going to work 5 days a week and having to talk to stupid people who I don't like for the rest of my life?

No thanks.

>at what point were you forced to get a car?
Actually it's the opposite way, I'm forced to start a bike garage because a car garage would simply be too costly and space demanding for me, including all the tools involved. Cars you need lifts and specialized equipment for, all the parts are hidden away behind layers of bullshit. A bike you push onto a few stacked pallets and just go to work on. Also bikes are a fraction of the purchase and running costs (especially compared to cars that offer the same level of excitement) and take up a fraction of the space.

Racecar fun or shits and giggles fun?

Are you in Australia?

>>17550490
Just turbo the 1.6 of you're looking for fun. You're going to have to do some drivetrain upgrades regardless of what you want. Get a torsen 1.8 rear end and a new clutch and you should be able to take 250whp reliably. If you're going to track it or hoon id reinforce your input and output shafts too.

Swaps are overrated if you just want a fun car. Swaps are super expensive too.

I'm a 1.6 slowfag too I'm working on getting the car ready for boost rn

1 can of parts cleaner from any auto parts store. Remover the starter and blast the fuck out of it with that stuff.

Reinstall and enjoy.

> 2 to 3 try's

You mean the car winds over a few times before it catches?

That's like totally normal

>>17550480
>take it apart and use some steel wool to clean it out

Maybe. But you can damage a motor commutator or windings if you are not careful.

I've never seen a state or country mandate anything other than a windshield.

>>17550329
In Massachusetts cars are only legally required to have windshield wipers. Not the actual windshield itself, just the wipers.

Everything's illegal in CA. Whatever it is you want to do.

A private dealership.

Depends. Car Dealership if you need help with financing. Private Seller if you know what you want and have the money for it at that time.

Private sales offer better prices, dealer sales offer better legal protection, at least where I live.

Dealers never pay decent prices for used cars.
I always sold mine directly.
My last money pit was bought buy a mechanic who obviously gutted it for parts immediately as he recognized what a piece of shit it was.

My current moneypit is way too fun right now to scrap, but know it's just a leech on my funds right now but I don't care I still love it.

I bought a 1995 300zx tt with a lot of issues. For everything I fixed, something else would break. It took me awhile to decide if I wanted to get rid of it because I wanted to make it work, but after throwing down 8k into it I decided to throw in the towel. 02 sensors, ignition coils, spark relay going out, ect. I didn't even begin to address the outside of the car. It needed a full paint job. Inside was in decent condition.

They are heroin dealing wifeswappers, nothing to be proud about

They all ride harleys because their founding fathers did, even if the man himself said they suck and he'd get a metric as soon as possible

>>17550180
Their founding fathers did because they were cheap surplus leftovers from ww2.

I bet the people who started the hells angels in the 50's would cringe at the drug dealing trash it has became if they could see it today.

Probably. It's a shame that the interior is trash and they're fugly without an aftermarket front end though.
