The cheapest ones you'll find are 4-cylinder YJ or TJ models. They get the same mileage as the 6-cylinder but are half as powerful.

or he could get something like a pathfinder? maybe a montero? those are cheap.

/o/ I am a college kid with too much time on his hands and a big slow car. I drive an LS400 and want to look at selling it for something sportier. How retarded would I be to get an old 944 or boxster if i don't have much mechanical experience, but want to learn?
Is this that much dumber than getting like an mx5 or mr2?

This is so strange to see for someone who lives in Eastern Europe, where every working class man drives either a Volkswagen Passat or an Audi A4. Oh and let's not forget the rural underclassmen special - Audi 80.

I want to find a cheap UK car
I tried on autotrader UK but I had no luck
Te budget is 1000-2000 Pounds
I want to find a car with some options on it ( navigation , steering wheel with commands, etc)
I friend bought a Full Skoda Octavia 2010 facelift with 1500 Pounds
If someone know an Acution website or a better one than autotrader Uk please help
Any tips will help
Thanks

Gumtree or eBay are your friends in that budget. Autotrader has quite high fees so cheap cars don't crop up there often. Don't touch a diesel for that money unless it is an older basic one, although if you really want one the VW 1.9 PD130 is a decent engine. Your money goes so much further with petrol cars here. Ford Mondeo is always a safe bet, no timing chains to piss about with and well specced ones are easy to come by. If you want something fancier then there are lots of 6 cyl E46 BMWs about - find one without rust and you should be fine.
Rust can be an issue here so be on the look out for that on arches and sills, I would recommend a Honda Accord but be very careful with them for rust.

Do you know that feeling when you like something even though you don't know why, and you know there are "better" or more practical stuff out there but damn you love that car.
For me it's the NA and NB miatas, owned one and driven the other, there's no car that makes me feel better than those.
What about you?

Simply too big. V16s have been put in locomotives and tugboats, but even if you're willing to put up with the mechanical complexity they're just too damn big to be worth it. Yes, I'm aware that the Cizeta exists, but it does nothing a good V12 can't accomplish just as well.

Do you think the Mazda Miata/Eunos Roadster is a sports car?
If you don't think so, explain why.
If you do, explain why.
Also I'm talking about all generations of the Miata/Mx-5, from 1990-2017.

The dealership is going to replace the blown engine in the used car they sold me with the same exact engine but with twice the amount of miles - 80k.
This is the first car I've had that has needed an engine swap so what should I expect? The original engine only had 43,000 miles but it was a piece of shit and eventually killed itself. I'm a bit wary of the dealership, if they can actually do it right without fucking anything up due to their incompetency with the first engine.
I really just want the car to fucking run with minimal problems but that is like asking too much out of it.

Go home Jamal, don't steal the nice man's wheels.

Use an axe, a screwdriver, and a pair of pliers.

Couple of different ways, mostly involving going to a store to find the right security socket or a professional wheel store to beg to borrow one.
Orrrrrrrr just weld a regular lug nut on there, fuck it. If you do it right, you can prevent damage to the wheel around it, but it's hard.

I dunno why, but I really wanna make an IRL Herbie. Not just painting a beetle to look like him, but also converting this beetle to an EV so it's fast as fuck. I just think it would be fun racing all these street ricers with a cute little beetle and kicking their asses.

Because those things are 60 hp stock and require serious investment to squeeze more than 120 hp out of.

'Might' be?
As I understand it, it WILL be, and how long only depends on how much of a dickhead the guy with the patent is going to be.
Also super-strong plastic bodywork and ultralight titanium parts on performance car.

>As I understand it, it WILL be
Might as in -in your lifetime- meaning it might get postponed a ton of times until we finally have feather light batteries or cars using this instead of sheet metal.
It does seem likely that it will be a big thing but the development still seems to be slow

My Neighbor is selling a 02 Buick Century that's been in her garage for years and only has like 23k miles on it and looks perfectly fine. Should I bite the bullet and buy it and how much do you think it's worth?

If the paint and tires are good, $2800 isn't bad. You could probably look it over and talk her down to 25 if you find some bullshit (photon fluid low, endoplasmic reticulum in need of repair, etc.) Give it a $100 tuneup and sell it to some college student for $3200 or more.
