Why shouldnt I buy this 1985 Merkur XR4Ti for $3850?
"Up for sale is a clean low mileage 1985 Merkur XR4Ti 5 speed. If you're looking at this car you know how rare it is. The car is bone stock with only 84,000 miles other than wheels and Quaif shifter. All hoses and belts are new along with the timing belt set.
Now for the fun stuff, Coming with the car is about 90% of what you need to build a 350 hp motor. Everything is new that could be bought new and the sheet metal needed(passenger side wheel arch and the last OEM rockers). Stinger header, 3 inch chrome downtube, new Larger turbo, SVO PE computer, larger air vein, intercooler and piping, manual wastegate with Remote, blow off valve, full engine gasket kit, and more. Something else has caught my eye now so my loss is your gain."

Do these make decent DD's?

>29 city mpg & 27 highway mpg
>Runs only on electric engine when driving under 40km/h
>Larger cabin than a civic with better fuel efficiency and shorter body length
>4x4 AWD (gud for Canadian winter)


Why shouldn't I spend $6-8k on one of these and ditch my honda shitvic?

In the next couple weeks I will be moving across the country in the US. Trying to get all your stuff across is hugely expensive. It is $2,500 to ship it, and around $2,200 plus gas to rent a Uhaul and drive across.

I currently own a 2002 catfish with a garage full of tools. I was thinking to buy a newish Tundra around $20,000 which would be financed. Purchased a flat bed trailer to tow my camaro and fill the tundra up with my tools and other stuff I want to bring with me. Then when I get settled in use the tundra to buy some new furniture and stuff for a month or two and then flip it for around what I paid. I would be putting around 3,000 miles on the truck total.

Is this feasible? Will the bank quickly release the title if I try to sell it 2 months after taking a loan for it?

Is the Volvo C30 T5 shit? Need a reliable, comfy, decent looking automatic car for my fiancee. The reliability is the only part I'm worried about since I don't know shit about Volvo other than they were taken over by the Chinese.

My dad left me his car before he died and I want to use it, but apparently he used to race with it and it has a nitrous and I was wondering how to remove it. Its a talon from '97 but it isn't the picture.

Hello /o/ I am having trouble. A tweaker ripped this grille off my car in the night and I want to replace it. The problem is I'm too stupid to know how to find it. So I have three questions:

>1. What is this part called?
>2. Where can I find a seller?
>>2a. Where can I buy one cheaply?
