It was Mercedes who didn't want burgers importing cheap taxi-spec W124s and then suing them because the illegal amber turn signals caused an accident

I'm not sure what insight you expect him to glean from a barely literate shitpost, but I think we can all be impressed by the sheer effort spent in wringing that many question marks out of a phone keyboard. You can really feel his passion come through, even from the other side of a phone shittier than what they glue to the back of airline seats.
And you know what? That takes grit. We got a real macho hombre here, who cares almost as much about taillight tint as he does about instain mothers.

I'm currently looking at a 93 BMW 325i E36 for sale and It only has 57K miles on it. Assuming everything checks out and is working properly just how big of a money pit am I looking at here?
I can afford some minor repairs and maintenance but I'm really not looking forward to any major issues with the straight 6 or drive train components but I'm just not familiar enough with these cars. Also I don't need a new (well new to me) car right now so this wouldn't be any kind of impulse buy.

How much work can you do yourself?
Parts probably aren't amazingly expensive in and of themselves but if you can't do the work yourself a decent mechanic will charge you an arm and a leg.
Also buying a 25 year old car with 57k on it means you'd immediately be up for changing a lot of worn parts. If they run timing belts instead of chains you'd have to do that too, I'm sure someone else knows which one is applicable to these.
>>
>>17229195
Really depends on the amount of skill required. I can change parts and follow instructions but I'm by no means a mechanic and there's a lot I'm simply not comfortable doing. I do have a few friends who are professionals that might be able to help me out for a decent price if I needed them but that's no guarantee.

GM is pulling out of India, South Africa, and East Africa.
>“As the industry continues to change, we are transforming our business, establishing GM as a more focused and disciplined company,” said GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra. “We are committed to deploying capital to higher return initiatives that will enable us to lead in our core business and in the future of personal mobility.
>“Globally, we are now in the right markets to drive profitability, strengthen our business performance and capitalize on growth opportunities for the long term. We will continue to optimize our operations market by market to further improve our competitiveness and cost base.”
The automaker states that the decisions were made following an extensive review of operations in GM International markets and reflect a series of actions taken to improve global business performance that began in late 2013.
>“These actions will further allow us to focus our resources on winning in the markets where we have strong franchises and see greater opportunity,” said GM President Dan Ammann. “We have compelling plans for growth in both the top line and the bottom line as we invest for the future.”

Makes sense, they are probably undercut by second rate automotive manufacturers there who dont give a shit about things like safety.
Better to just pull out than try to match prices by cutting quality/safety and possibly damaging PR

in other words, cheap chinese shit is pushing them out.

I'm around the time in my life where I'm about ready to buy my first car. I'm considering buying a Datsun 280z, because they're cheap, classic, relatively reliable from what I've heard and cool as fuck imo. Something about that particular car is really attractive to me. What does /o/ think? Do you guys approve? I know how to drive stick and all and I'm kind of new to the whole cars thing but I can do basic repairs and am working on learning how shit works, so soon repairs and upkeep will be no problem. Thoughts, advice, recommendations?

Is the WRX/STI better than a BRZ in every way? I understand they are very different especially in price but for a weekend car for track/backroads what would you get? Would it be crazy to hope someone here owns both?

Actually you're buying a used vehicle. Buying new means buying a car that hasn't been owned before, in the automobile vernacular. Just trying to help you out dude.

Do it. The LS is smaller and capable of way the fuck more power for less money. Plus more reliable than that dohc boat anchor.
