hi /o/,
I'm thinking of getting a Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005, with 200k miles. Asking $6,500 but will accept $5,000. It has a few dents but seems to run well. I'd like to take a trip to Florida from the northeast US, and bring a freshwater boat with me.
My question is mainly, for the purposes of a roadtrip and to move, would /o/ recommend a boxvan such as 2002 E350 Cube Van $4100 w/ 90k miles (pic to follow), or an Escalade ESV with 200k miles for $5k.
I haven't purchased many cars, so I need some advice before I fork over $5k...
This is the van I'm considering.
YOU FUCKING NIGGER.
ok now that we got that out of the way.

>Cadillac
>200k miles
Definitely get the van.
Are trucks the only thing Ford gets right?

What's the highest octane fuel you can get in your country?
I don't even know, I fuel diesel.
>>15900532

>it's a thread to bait euros who don't know the difference between AKI and RON for octane calculation to call american gas shit thread
oh boy here we go
what do you think of the Kia GT?
It's a Kia, no one cares.
>>15900483

>buying a jeep that isn't a 2 door wrangler
Seriously the rest of them are all garbage.
>>15900476
Is that just a Renegade with a new front end?
Do the Koreans pose a threat?
They have been striving to make more reliable cheap cars than the Japanese and make more premium luxury cars than Europe while also being cheaper. Plus they don't have insane markups because of the brand.
Will they soon outclass everyone and control the market?
>>15900423
I'm not sure, but man I see velosters everywhere nowadays.
>>15900423
The only honest thing that's good about KIA is the standard 8 year 100k me warranty, and we wonder why..
>>15900423
>Will they soon outclass everyone and control the market?
Only when their cars are reliable.
Compared to cars from anywhere else on earth.
And why are American cars now almost completely European/Japanese/Korean design now?
What happened?
>>15900400
design regulations, aerodynamics, fuel economy, road sizes, trends.
Yes American cars very unique
>>15900400
The market globalized. Manufacturers are making cars that try to appeal to everyone, not just one specific market.
>Corner fast in FWD
>Can always feel the understeer nudge me closer to death
Are there tires or techniques I can use to decrease the effect?
I'm going to incur the wrath of many asshurt Honda drivers, but your best bet is just to buy a RWD car.

Try some better sway bars.

UK fag here. Any reason I shouldn't buy a 350z HR? I'm aware of the shoddy interiors.
Anything you'd recommend instead?
>>15899608
There's no reason not to, best bang for the buck. Get one with low miles at a dealer with warranty.
>>15899608
Because the 370z looks so much better and not nearly as dated.
>>15899619
370 has ugly tail and headlights, OP will get WAY better deal with the 350 with about the same performance
Which engine position would produce the car with the better handling? What would driving each car be like?
Why? This is beyond pointless.
both would handle like dogshit
at least put some thinking into this... at least you got me to reply 1/10
>>15899317
>>15899318
Government legislation saying you can't put the engine in the body of the car anymore.
And it must be atleast 6ft away.
What are some good ways to get JDM import cars in the USA. All of the online resources seem to be for Canadians.

What's the fastest reliable daily driver for a couple different budgets.
>Under $12k
>Under $20k
>Under $30k
Auto or manual, any drive, any size.
>>15899161
Fast? What kind of environment, straight line? Touge?
>>15899249
Either or.
Straight line, highway monsters, touge, etc
>>15899161
Nothing is going to be reliable if you are driving it like a loon.
If Initial D was made today, what would the characters be driving?
Tacucki would be driving a mini r53 john cooper works
Everyone would be laughing at it for being a hairdresser car, he would rape them on the touge.
Itsuki would want one and somehow end up buying a mini one instead
>>15898910
I like to think takumi would be driving a fiesta ST, or some other cheap modern hatchback.
Pretty much the exact same things. It exists outside of time.
Every time I see a Florida meet thread it just dies and nothing happens. I think that we should actually have a meetup, because I'm sure there are plenty anons in FL. I see all these other threads, /hou/, /norcal/.
I live in Jacksonville, but I'd be willing to drive a few hours.
I was thinking that we could go to The Compound and just hang out and race and fuck around there. The compound is an area in Palm Bay with about 200 miles of roads that is completely undeveloped. I've gone down there once before and I had a great time. The police just kind of leave it alone as long as nobody dies.
Is anybody up for something like this?
Also here's a wikipedia page on it

We had a Miami meet last December and got 6 or 7 people with really heavy promoting. A bunch more said they would come but backed out at the last minute.
Then somebody tried to do a Central FL meet and I think 2 or 3 dudes on bikes showed up even though they had a bunch of threads going and did a good job promoting it.
Then somebody else tried to do another South Florida meet a couple months ago and didn't keep a thread on Page 1 and nobody showed up.
I think the only hope for a decent FL meet is to do a South Florida one in Dade or Broward and promote the hell out of it for a couple months prior. A few of the people at the first one would probably show up and maybe we could convince some of the anons who pussied out of the first one to show up.
Good luck.
>>15898900
I would like a Dade/Broward meet because I'm selfish although the Compound is fun too.
