Yup. Pre-VW Audis are great. That one has the V6, would have been better if it had the 5 cylinder. Still not a bad deal.

These have godlike rustproofing.

A common failure point is the wiring running to the trunklid, make sure to inspect that closely since it can result in a ton of electrical bullshit down the line.

thanks I'm heading over to pick it up. Any other things to check out? It is an Arizona original car so no rust worries here

Just get a Golf/Jetta or Octavia, literally the same car but cheaper.

i had made a motorized bicycle back in '14, was powered by a B&S 127 3hp engine. but i used a cheap ass bike with way too thin metal. after about 200-300km of driving it it all started to bend. and then the chain slipped off and fucked up the whole rear end of it. ended up dragging the whole bloody thing home 2km. but it was worth it. it was so much fun.

that's the closest i get to a mechanical failure.

here is a pic of it

seized an old yz125 up. next best was burning an exhaust valve on my Tacoma so bad it made 0 compression and ran on 3 cylinders. still started up and ran reliably, but was slow as fuck. WOT up erry hill

Rod bearing went out in my sled and one of the pistons had pits all across it from running lean. Different sled i had siezed up and bent a rod too.

Drive it up on to a piece of wood.

why did you buy a car with fucked up suspension?

>>16711621

If I had thought about things before I'd bought them I would have a lot more money. Regardless the MR2 was cheap and in alright condition.

Cuck.

you could have saved money by removing your balls since you clearly dont use them

>>16710955
Yeah use that money to invest in a mutual fund. 10k is all you need to have fun in a car.

Tiff Needell was always the better "old driving journalist", better than Clarkson. Restrained comedy, decent journalism, actual racing experience not just writing for a newspaper. And more importantly, a cool temper so he doesn't punch out television producers.

Fuck right off.

if you dont know enough already, you are going to have a VERY bad time.

Ford started reworking the Jag in 95. It went from high to low maintenance. Very comfortable. Cheap yet very classy. I plan to get one someday.

XJ6 or XJ12? Expensive to own, expensive to maintain. Rip your wallet if something breaks

Even if you get loan rate will be very high. Credit score can be high with younger people because you have low dept. I am not saying that is your situation but that is most common.
Score is one thing but you will need to have income to prove that you can afford 44k car.
If you want to take ur 700 score to next lvl and you need car, just lease a nice car.

now that 3k civics = early 2000s civic = tranny failures, people will jump to Toyota

But Toyota is too common so people will start memeing Lexus instead. Lexus IS and ES from early 2000s can run on regular gas... both run a non turbo 2JZ too...A luxury car, soft ride, with regular gas and a 2JZ?? let's the memes commence

You can't have a Viper shaped mid-engined car.

Stalling in traffic. That's about it

If you ask the dealership, they might be able to teach you

Lol I'm also looking into doing this
But I'm thinking I'll have someone drive it home for me so that I can just practice while comfy at home

I heard inline 6 engines are probably becoming more popular in the future again because of some reason I forgot. Some new tech works really well with them.

Maybe this will also help your 5 pots.

the general simplicity of e-cars would enable just that but it gets choked out right from the start by safety regulations.

This is what happens when a beta white man breeds with an ugly asian woman who has mental issues and hates her own race. Unfortunately, this comprises about 80% of all white man / asian woman relationships.
