Put them in the glove box you stupid faggot

Get an air filter. For the interior not the engine of course. Pretty tedious to do but once done you will always have clean air as long as you drive with closed windows.

subaru has scaled ignition tables that really neuter performance when the cars heat up especially with the crap top mount intercooler

Everyone's collectively starting to realize they're shitty money pits to repair and would rather find a way out by selling it to some retard who thinks he'll be all flashy and rich. New BMWs just basically turn themselves off every 10,000 miles with software now, beating the normal unreliability to the punch

The M and Shoe versions are excellent (as well as expensive and sought after) Other versions are like having a miata that's less reliable and heavier making them depreciate rapidly.

>>17812000
It's a Miata except it's heavier and harder to work on and has less cabin space. If you were a complete wanker and the prestige of having a BMW badge on your car was worth that much to you I can see how it's a good deal. But if you have a shred of dignity I dont really see the point.

Or if anybody has anything similar that's generally available in the midwest in the US

I bit the bullet and got an 04 4runner from some sand nigger.
Paid 4.5 Canadian. Loads of work. So hope u like working on ur own shit. Mine is from rust belt, so it needs a full underbody scrub and a rust converter spray. Needed full breaks and lines all around. Buncha body work. All fluids changed. Etc.

Is it worth it?
Fuck yeeeaaaaa.
Engine 10/10. Tranny 10/10.
Just towed my FRS on a heavy ass car tansport from East coast to West coast. Average fuel consumption was 16 l/100km. Fkn amazing.
Slept in a fully laoded 4runner in th back (get a mat for ur bnea if u wonna sleep on sides).

The limited have air suspension, I need to take my sensors apart and clean them.

Tldr; test drive both. Get the one you like more. I love be the limited V8 4th gen 4runner

For what it's worth, two of my buddies had Monteros in high school (one I know for a fact was an '05, the other I'm not sure but probably a couple MYs older) and they were both total shitboxes in terms of reliability... Constantly breaking, and parts aren't as plentiful as they would be for a 4runner of the same vintage, at least in my area.

The guy with the '06 came wheeling with us a few times and it hung relatively decently amongst our Moab jeeps, a couple 4runners and tacos, my bigass suburban and some other regulars. The only outstanding performance issue I can remember that he had with it was that he complained a lot about his approach/departure angles. He also could've just been making excuses for picking shitty lines, lmao.

Personally, I'd pick the 4runner but literally the only reason I have to back that up is that I seem to have a fear for things with less than 8 cylinders hah.

If you can find a monty in good condition tho, I bet it could be a unique build.

Agreed

Look man if you can take a shitbox and make it last at least 15+ years it's not a shitbox no more considering most cars today will never see 100k

>Should people driving older shitboxes be ridiculed from society?

Yeah man, a 20+ year old car that can be fixed easily and will not suffer any major mechanical problems until the engine up and dies is something that needs to be shamed. Unlike today's cars that have check engine lights come on if you so much as give the car too much gas, or if your brakes stop working altogether because a loose wire in your cluster makes the ABS light go on, making your car think the ABS system is indeed malfunctioning. Or, for BMW owners, if your car crops up with a brand new problem every time you turn on the car.

Fuck older cars.

Prelude is more versatile. Miata is more enjoyable

>>17811127
The prelude's basically a sportier Accord coupe. I'd go with the Miata, but a 94-97. There wasn't technically a 1998 Miata, did you mean a 99?

>>17811161
I actually meant 97, my bad.

There probably 1-2 billion people that have cars 10,000 is a tiny number compared to that

Hmm a RWD V8 430+hp BRAND NEW car or a USED 4 cylinder FWD VAG shitbox with crumbs stuck all in the seats. Really makes me think.

>>17811865
Yea, can't believe anyone would even consider a ford shitmobile

>Muh 430 HP meme8 moostang

Munstangs are pigfat, it NEEDS that 430 HP just to get rolling.

GTI would be a much better DD, and if you got a $700 you could tune it and wave goodbye to the mustang

>>17811812
No.

>>17811826
Few people told me I will stall a petrol car if I attempt to move it with just a clutch, without touching the gas pedal. Is that true?

>>17811827
It is indeed
Clutch is more forgiving on diesel engines

Just get it and die in a fucking crash already
I'm sick of seeing these "HURR DURR PERFORMANCE CAR AS MY FIRST CAR BECAUSE IM A BEGINNER DRIVER AND I KNOW FUCKING EVERYTHING"
