Alright so I'm considering buying one, and it's in decent shape, not a lot of rust along the frame, nice interior, the guy I'm considering buying it from is relatively reliable. It's selling at 4500 and has 115000 miles on it. what do ya think?
(May have posted in transportation)
It's okay. Most cars after the 20th century are mediocre at worst.
not really op

They are great, just replaced a little hose for heater, and an oil change. Really nice, lots of people have them though. Price sounds good.
post cars people think are fast but are actually slower than minivans

I usually let a huge gap develop between our cars, then use it to catch up going 60 or so.

Anyways, what is out there for fun to drive late 80's-early 00's Japanese imports that are reasonably affordable and haven't been raped by ricers and their shitty mods? Preferably $5k or less.

Have you gone through your Jeep phase yet?
Did you end up taking the dive and actually buying a Jeep Wrangler? Did you get rid of it yet?
>>17420630
I'm just getting into mine at 22. I've always liked Jeeps but recently I've seen 70s wranglers starting to drop in price around me. I keep telling myself not to do it though
I'm working towards a milsurp humvee instead, desu. Would definitely get more use out of that in my life
I so badly want a Jeepster
Is the mechanic industry still a good one to go into? Or is it pretty much dying and will be dead in the future?
>>17419613
I would only go for it if you haven't known what to do with your life since you were young and you're now 25 or something working minimum wage or if there's hardly mechanic shops where you live
as long as theres cars, theres work to be done
>>17419613
Turning wrenches doesn't pay nearly as well as it used to. It's a good skill to have, but it's a shitty job.
Most Gallardos on eBay are listed from $82k - $110k max.
This 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo you see here is being listed for $80k. 53k miles on it. No accidents apart from a few scratches on the corners.
Is this a good buy? What are your opinions?
>>17418568
If you're buying a lambo and can't afford a new one, you can't afford to maintain one.
As a poorfag, even if I had 100k to blow on a car it wouldn't be a stock italian showboat with pretentiousness out the ass.
What transmissions are in those? I'd buy a manual one, drive it but baby the fuck out of it because it's pretty much warranted they'll shot up in value.
Post your modded shitboxes, and masturbate to other peoples aftermarket mods.

From the UK I passed recently so planning to get a first car soon
Always loved the E39 and wanted one to work on as a project car
Seen a few sitting around £500 to £2/3k with mileage being the main difference
Would it be silly to purchase one straight away? My insurance quotes are only £2-2.5k a year with a 1 month license and no ncb
My main question is will it become a money pit? The car will only be used for social and work commute
Is there anything too look out for when purchasing?

Just about every one on Craigslist I see seems to have a decent interior. As a matter of fact, there's a lot of them that have less than 80k for less than three grand.
