>break it to our salesman and his customer that his ghetto cayenne isn’t actually on the lot, we sent it up for auction a few days ago, but we can arrange to bring it back if he’s interested
>however, as luck would have it we just got another cayenne yesterday
>now this one looks much cleaner than the one we sent to auction, but it has frame damage in the history
>never the less, the guy is interested because we would also like to be rid of this shitheap and would let it go for $8500 as-is
>he takes it on a test drive, it drives smooth enough
>obviously needs his daughter’s approval
>calls her up, tells her to come have a look
>she rolls up with her boyfriend, now I understand why she was interested in the ghetto-cayenne
>Stacey and Jamal climb out of Jamal’s clapped out 3-series, blacked out lights, fenders scraping wheels, muffler cut off etc
>she looks the cayenne up and down, says it’s unacceptable
>”dad, this car is beige! I’m going to look like a grandma driving this, and the rims are too small!”
>dad looks defeated, lets out a big sigh
>Jamal steps in “well babygurl, we can just plastidip it matte black like the kardashians do, it’ll look sick. One of my boyz could even hook you up with some rimz.”
>She gives him a hug, “aww Jamal you’re so smart you think of everything”
>Dad rolls his eyes, “well are we taking it then or what?”
>she wants to see the one with the nigger tier ghetto rims first before she makes a decision

no since that was never a thing the cars were always modified and the cars were still shit anyway

tfw manufacturers will never race "stock" vehicles in endurance races
would be sweet to see regular cars with all the proper safety equipment battle it out at lemans, nurb and all those races

Big three would just race camarillo/mustang/challenger
Don't know what Toyota would do.

It's only acceptable if it's manual
Because modifying an automatic is not fun and Is boring

>>16592810
Mine's a manual

i once went to a cars and coffee meet at a porsche dealership

and a chevy cruize with really cheap wheels painted pink (the car was navy blue) with its only other mod being an ebay racing seat took one of the front and center spots amongst ferraris that was really set aside for an f50 that was late

that is my only impression of that car....

mostly women.
>whats the appeal
well, some people are retarded and think its justified to spend ~30k on a new Mini Cooper when you can get a used E or even S-class for a few thousand bucks, because
>ITS SO HARD FINDING A PARKING SPOT THEE-HEEE

People who like gokarts.

Not worth buying used because the reliability is fucking awful and they're expensive to repair (or tedious to repair yourself) and not worth buying new because an actual go kart is much cheaper.

I do, however, really like the way they look and I don't know why

Prefer the real ones

Where are you located? TJs sell for >10k all the time in Texas

>>16592358
I just sold my 05 for 12k a couple months ago. Have the trans/engine been replaced? The 4.0 can last as long as you maintain it, but if the trans hasn't been replaced, it'll likely fail soon. The trans on my 05 crapped at 80k.

Have you looked at it personally? Easiest way to tell from D35/44 is the plug. Rubber 35, metal 44. For 8k that isn't bad at all. "Cracked" front bumper i assume is referring to the plastic caps. Just take them off.

Common issues I had with my TJ were oil leaks. Nothing serious until the trans work

Can someone red pill me on why these are worth so much? They look fucking stupid and the geometry doesn't look very conducive for "off-roading".

Cool, it's 4x4. Cool, it has a locking differential. Cool, the Toyota 4Runner I rented for $60/day in Vegas had all that too.

They're both ugly.

Heard they had a worse reliability rating than Fiat.

So, I am steering clear.

greatest car company of the past 10 years

They're like Delorean but successful

Do it if you have the money, who cares what others think? It's your car.

I mean, if you wanna why not, on my 95 accord I put an extension on it and made the throw like 10 inches and I love it, do what you wanna do.

>>16592054

Wrong concept, a short throw isn't just a shorter rod. It's extends the length of the fulcrum to shorten the distance between gears.

In actuality a short throw isn't any shorter in overall length than a stock shifter, remove an inch from the top then add it back to the fulcrum.

next time make a short greentext synopsis that post is hard to read.

>if you tore your oil pan you would know pretty quickly so that's not what the problem is
>find out where the leak is coming from, it could be your strut since your dumb ass probably bent it
>also your car pulls to the left because you fucked up your suspension
>gotta get a new strut (front pair since you replace them in twos), knuckle, possibly new control arm, and an alignment
if it turns out you bent/cracked your oilpan and it's leaking, then you must have done a number on that curb and there is probably some damage to the frame.

got pics of the damage?
>pic related, it's you worrying about your shitbox

>>16591586
I just thought of this but actually but it's dark and I don't have a jack that's good enough to get myself under the car at the moment.
I did look at it and nothing seems obviously fucked.
Took it to a mechanic for routine maintenance(I'm lazy) and they didn't notice anything either
Leak seems to be coming from the middle of the car, not around the strut.
Why would it only leak after I drive it anyway?

Why the fuck are you asking us where the fucking leak is on your shity car? Go out there and look for it you fucking retard and kill yourself while you're at it retarded fuck.

You done goofd. You could have imported a 2000 Subaru legacy B4 with less kilometers, awd and turbos for the same price or LESS. Or an Evo 4, or a WRX Sti.

Shit tier decision broseph. Why wouldn't you import?
