Hey /o/ looking to buy a cheap manual pick up truck. Mostly in to haul my bike around and ocassionaly to haul construction stuff. I was looking at this Chevrolet 1500 1993 with 85k miles. V6 engine manual. 3400 dollaroos. Good deal? Price too high?

Looks decent to me, but I'm not familiar with the market in your area. I'm a buyer for a dealer and I appraise trades, though I'm in the northeast and anything without rust brings a huge premium, especially trucks, so I can see that particular one bringing 2000 at a wholesale auction and retailing for 4500+, more if it was automatic though, but if you want manual I say go for it

Yeah I want a manual because more fun to drive. It's in Cali so no rust hopefully. Thanks for the input!
>>
>>16980867
Looks super clean from the pictures, from the ad it looks like it's a dealer so I'd just go out there and offer him $2000 and see what he counters with, though at $3400 it's still a good deal imo

What's a good car to start out with to learn manual? I recently thought about it and it doesn't make sense to me to buy an expensive manual car when I'm just learning. The problem is the only cheap rwd would be a v6 mustang. I really don't like fwd but how bad could it be? Anyone have experience with this?
Pic related, that is what I was considering at first

What is the best model year 540i to buy?
16 Posts / 3 Images

>>16977882
Generally the last years of any model car are going to be the best because electrical and mechanical issues in previous years have been hammered out.
This is not always the case, but usually a good rule of thumb.
>>
>>16977924
In addition to that:
With any newish car that would be "facelift+6months" because that's late enough to get a car without baby issues of a new model and early enough to not get a car that gets all the hidden cost cutting measures
>>
>>16977882
Don't buy a 540. A 530 has better fuel economy, handling, and reliability. It'll be a giant money pit either way, but a 530 will probably be less trouble. If you need more performance, it makes more sense to save up and buy an m5, since the performance difference between the 530 and 540 is negligible.

This thread is for road rage, racing, and speeding stories.
Just now, on my way to work, I was going pretty quick down the highway and happened to pass a BMW that was in the fast lane (4 lane highway, I was in the middle left, they were all the way left). All of a sudden they gun in to pass me. So me, being the maverick I am, started threading the needle in traffic to pop out in front of them. It doesn't matter how fast your car is when there's traffic. I left them so far behind that I couldn't see them anymore. Right as I'm getting off at my exit they pop out of nowhere and roar past me. Lmfao
Daily reminder that BMWs are for insecure fuccbois.

My girlfriend is pretty fat (I'm estimating about 300 pounds) and she has a hard time fitting into the passenger seat of my '04 Kia Sorento. I kind want something sportier like a coupe or a even a sedan but with a passenger seat nice and big enough for my gf. Any ideas?
Pic related, gf looks very similar to her, especially in the face

Is it a bad idea to buy a used bike off gumtree?
I was thinking I could test ride the bike I want at a dealer, and if I like it buy it 2nd hand off someone else privately.
Is this alright to do?
I've heard so many horror stories about buying privately.
Ouch :(

Congratulations, Toyota. You've already ruined everything.
>>
The last MR2 (which I own) came with a fucking Corolla engine, with no option for a better one, even though the engine it should have had just bolts right in.
Now they're talking about making the new MR2 a hybrid, or making something similar to the Miata (which they'll surely fuck up) and calling it a "spiritual successor."
I have loads of faith in Toyota's engineers to make a fantastic sports cars, and equal faith in bean counters, focus groups, and marketing execs. to fuck it up.
