Can you faggot fucks stop with the 3k or less civic meme? It's not funny at all its dumb and half of the time doesn't even make sense. If I'm buying a truck why the fuck would I want a civic owned by a smelly Mexican or chadbro with 3 subwoofers in the back

Let's say you have the opportunity to purchase some good tires for a very good price, but you know that they came from a shady source, or "fell off the back of a truck" meme
Would you buy them /o/?

i can afford to pay the normal price for my tires and wouldn't associate myself with individuals that have access to stolen tires. go be poor somewhere else.

I'll get this started, but I didn't see a catch all thread so feel free to post your questions too.
Budget is roughly $4500
Current options:
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/5946897568.html
http://autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=447527569
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/ctd/5932862917.html
https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/5903876040.html
We went to see the Mazdaspeed from auto trader, and while we liked it a lot, I know it does have some mechanical issues ( has some damage to the front, maybe some rust, and the current owner says that the clutch would probably need to be replaced within a year. We plan on taking it in to have it inspected for sure). I have also heard that cars with turbos in them are more expensive to maintain, am I right to be scared of this? Fun is important, but not the only thing.
We sat in a Scion TC at CarMax and actually liked it alot, but we aren't super familiar with them, so just kind of keeping our options open here
The second Mazda from the dealer is also comparably priced, but with fees and everything it will jump up in price, and dealers are exhausting to deal with at times. Also I'm sure the Mazdaspeed would be much more fun.
The Metro is just there as a backup plan , but the idea of having a shitty econobox makes me really happy.
Which would be the best option?

hey guys, had a seizure last year and im just getting my license back in a couple months and i have some money saved up for a car and my mom said she will give me some money on my birthday to help out, i have about 1500 bucks saved and im not sure what my parents are going to pitch to help me out here, im guessing around 2k for the car itself.
i, like most people on here "want a car thats a manual and rwd" and I have looked around, and it looks like my cheapest option is a v6 mustang, and i know you guys dont like them very much but I have heard of people getting them up to 300hp, and with a cam and nice exhaust they sound pretty nice. anyways, what I was wondering is how much easier would it be to get 300hp out of a 2000-2004 mustang vs a 96? i see the 96 has quite a bit less power, what is the difference? is it the split port? pic not really related, hard to find camaros of that year without an auto:/

How will these depreciate?
What will a 2016 Porsche GT3RS be in 2025? I love it, but 250k for a GT3 with a wing is just retarded.

Hard to say. They have appreciated thus far. And the 997 GT2RS is through the roof expensive, I think nearly a half a million.
>>
>>16460633
Maybe they will drop if the 991.2 GT3 RS has a manual option, maybe they won't because that makes them the only run of PDK-only GT3 RSs.
>>
They'll fall eventually. Manufacturers really started cashing in on these special run cars after the boom in the used market. The same speculators buying 550 Barchettas, GT2s, etc. are snatching up these with the hope the same will happen, but people will realize there's so many "special" cars, it doesn't matter if something is 1 of 500 or whatever if there are 4 different runs of the same car with subtle differences.

Veloster coupe was neat. Or was it genesis. Whatever the hyundai rwd sportscoupe was.
First it was jap cars that were considered doghsit, but now are greatest.
Then it was koreans and now they're getting good.
Next it's gonna be chinese cars.

because they start falling apart as soon as you leave the dealership

Why do so many people shit on dealerships when private owners are just as bad if not worse?

Hey /o/, how much should it take to replace the piston rings and gaskets on an 08 wrx pic related, i was quoted 1900 by the dealership. Should i get anothet kwote?

Replace pistons rings? Are you having blow by?
I've heard of people paying $1,200 for a head gasket replacement... but on V8's, so there's two heads.... twice the work.
No idea, but $1,900 doesn't sound too jacked up from a stealership
>>
>>16459552
Agreed, $1900 sounds reasonable from a stealership.

>>16459552
My engine light was on and aparently ive been having misfires on all 4 ; and my plugs fouled. (Actually not sure if it was rings or seals (or if thrre is even a difference))

Was looking around for a RWD car for my secondary and came across this 2004 330i.
Thoughts? Are these things reliable? Good aftermarket?

Shiggy diggy. You only want to buy a BMW new or from an adult owner that took great care of it and has a folder full of maintenance records.

Which car would you choose to be reliable at the expense of your genetics?
Pic related is an unreliable piece of shit that would really benefit of this power.

The things I would do to my brain to get one of these truly reliable.
Air suspension failures (on the early 90's models anyway), head gasket would blow, heater core would crap out. And the usual "typical British engineering" complains; rust, electrical failures and oil leaks.

Hey /o/
So after a leaky head gasket it turns out it'll be cheaper to swap in a new 1.8 into my 1994 Miata. Problem is, there's not too many 1.8s in Arizona.
Car-Part.com has a couple motors in WI and FL that have lower miles.. But neither salvage yard has gotten back to me.
A recent craigs ad for a 1999 1.8 popped up, owner said the car had smashed front end and water outlet was broke. No idea on VIN or mileage but says he'd have no concerns using this engine. $1000 is low as he can go.
I guess my question is what would you do in this situation? Miata is my daily with 150k. Don't have a lot of cash or time to work with here. Need new radiator and clutch prob.

How is getting a new motor cheaper than replacing a head gasket? Did the head or block warp?
