What the hell is the deal with some 80s cars getting expensive?
I have wanted one of these things for years but now that I have extra time and money, the price has gone crazy?
Are 80s vehicles fucking collectors items now?
What other cars have gone up in value and when did this trend start?

Vanagons are prized by enthusiasts, especially syncros and westies. That's why they're so expensive.
I'm not sure how many they sold in the US to begin with, either. Pickup variants in particular are super rare.

So where's this gonna sit in the market? Somewhere up against the 340i? I mean, I doubt they'd just launch a head-on attack on the M3.

A lot of cars that look bad in pictures look better in real life. You can appreciate the proportions and size a lot more IRL.
That being said, I still don't think these look very good

I drove one. It really reminds me of an Aston Martin, not as refined, but a very similar feeling. It just has that old GT feel. Also the ride quality was fantastic. The only issue was that it shifts faster in automatic mode than in manual.

looks like there isn't much tension on the spring so you should be fine.
Just jack off the car and use a spring compressor if you're being a bitch

Is there any car easier to go fast through the cannons for under 30k?

Honestly I have been doing a lot of thinking. Subaru is literally the best automaker today. They make the full range of automobiles including sport sedans. All of their vehicles are AWD even base impreza and for the price they are priced at...totally worth it. They even still make wagons....sure its huge but what inst today. Name a better car available for the average consumer for the same price point. Is subaru keeping the car enthusiast happy?

For the price, not many options.
The only runner ups I can think of are Ford and Mazda.
speaking of.. Mazda, where the fuck is the speed3?!
>>
>>16236864
None of them offer a rwd compact car at the same price as subaru
>>
>>16236583
Aside from the wrx/sti, toyota and hondas are better in almost every measurable way. AWD is the only thing they really got going for them.

why do all the cars from the 80s look dope-as-fuck and all the cars post 2004 look like boring ass electric shavers?

Because you are thinking of maybe a handful of cars from the 80s that looked nice. The rest were and looked like complete shit.

Memes aside is the extra 8k worth for a base sti? I can either get a wrx sport tech or a base sti. I would also like recomendations for a car in the same budget, requirements:
- 2015 or newer
- Must be manual

How much do you value AWD? That's really the only reason to go for a Subaru over the competition.
Don't get a Memeru, wait for the Civic Type R

2017 Civic Coupe EX-T vs. 2017 Corolla iM
Civic: faster, more expensive, less reliable
Corolla: significantly cheaper, more reliable
Also considering used Lexus IS350.
Any other suggestions/reccs?

honestly, they're about the same as far as reliability goes and the iM isn't as peppy. I'd drive both and go with which you like more. The IS350 is a much better car overall regardless.
I'd probably go IS350 > used Accord v6 mt > corolla iM > civic coupe
only because I'd prefer a hatch over coupe in that small of a platform.

Not a fan of swaps, who knows how shitty it was actually done.
I'd go with the first one if you could get it for under 14. Extended cab hurts it's value IMO.
