You're buying a car for 2k? I'm assuming on craigslist?
For such a short time span and low price I'd honestly just buy the Camry/Accord/Civic/Corolla that seems the most reliable regardless of looks. Just save for when you can actually buy a cooler car, but keep the shitbox so you don't have to rush buying a car again if one gets stolen or screwed up.

Get yourself a small pickup truck. Will be reliable and easy enough to work on without putting too much of a hole in your wallet.

valve seals slowly leak oil from the head into the combustion chamber when the car isn't running

probably expensive as fuck to have it fixed, just put oil in it

Don't think it would be worth it or seem right, needs a more calm cruising engine.

>>17384740

It'll last 2 years at most.

>>17384740
Usually they fuck it up or just don't try as hard and takes forever for it to be done. But yeah do it, last 5 years tops.

My advice to you is if your lazy don't do it
If your not lazy then do it but make sure you do as much pre body work as possible I.E sanding the old paint off getting it ready to be painted etc
The guys at Maaco are as lazy as you are so the more you do for them before the paint job the better it will come out and the longer it will last

If you don't do these things you'll end up with an "orange peel" effect on your car like in pic related

This isn't a super serious thread. Just thought it'd be fun plus I can see what's out there that I might not think to look for.

3k civic

> Exhaust has a bigger hole than the endhole of the tailpipe
> Brummmms like an early 19'th century tractor because 3cylinder hyundai diesel
> Driving through cities, people stop and look at me because it sound like they are gonna get moved down by a WW2 tank

AC is broken, but at least the power windows work

>>17384699
I'm the same as you but it's a boxer so people probably think I make it sound like this on purpose. I get a lot of dirty looks

i wish i was dead

not a lot right now, anon. thanks for asking! :)

>>17384617
Can't you get a C63 under 100k? It's pretty great I personally like the sedan more.

>>17384634
OP here, you definitely can but if you want good performance packages with the C63 that'll ride you up to about 100k not including taxes. My buddy tricked his C43 out and after taxes it was around 85-90k for him.

I'm jealous, I got a w204 C350 AMG with panoramic sunroof used about 1-2 years ago. It's the best handling car I've ever driven. I couldn't even imagine how good a new one would be.

>plenty of switches for the bitches

>can drift

Ill allow it. Proceed.

My problem is that the console gauges don't work. The mice ate the wiring at the harnesses to the computer. The wires have been repaired, tested, and everything worked. Then wrapped wiring harness with electrical tape and stopped working.

>>17384533
It doesn't appear as though the wiring to the computer harness are used by the fuel gauge.

>Going out of state
>Doesn't have $5 for 2 lightbulbs

>>17384434
I'm in school out of my home state and going home Sunday.

I've changed the bulbs before but admittedly did forget it's that cheap. Still, I wouldn't be able to get them tonight because the store to get them from is closed.

>>17384387
>rear left turn signal broken
how so?

>>17384237
Get a small wing
A paint job
Then take a fat shit on the hood.
No ricer stuff please

I see way too many ricers with this car. Keep it stock, clean and wax the headlights. Just detail the fuck out of it and you'll enjoy more than shitty mods and stickers

There are many ways to make a Tiburon look tacky, here are some things you can do to improve, but not rice:

- Polish headlight housings:
>...Take them off.
>...Wet-sand them in a sink, increasing grit from 400 to 2000.
>...Use PlastX or similar plastic polish until they look new again.
- Get wheels:
>...Clean-looking, simple design
>...Silver or gunmetal
>...16 or 17 inch diameter
- Remove badges / dealer stickers
>...Make sure the ones you remove are all attached with adhesive and won't leave holes.
- Maybe a front lip.
