Youre getting royally fucked. That is 135i with 60k miles territory. Buy the 135i and just make sure the turbos were replaced under warranty if it is one of the bad years.

The one I was looking at had really low miles.

Then they shouldn't have teamed up with Subaru.

Does /o/ think Toyota needs a halo car?

Women don't care about wax, what we care about is maturity and financial responsibility. Only after you reach the point of maturity and net worth and income that you can easily afford to have "nice wax".

SMART women can sniff-out a wanna be poser that thinks they are the coolest thing in their fancy little waxed racekar that they cannot really afford. No girl wants to live in a trailer park and work at Waffle House and he works the parts counter at vatozone for $12.75 an hour. It speaks highly of the idiot nature of the man and rules him out as a worthy candidate for a relationship. He has an expensive project wax that he dumps money into and can barely support himself. No worthy girl is gonna waste her time with a guy that is on the road to loserville.

Guess what, anon in that ebin waxcar or whatever is always gonna be broke. It may be your pride and joy but it is going to send anon to the poorhouse or the repo guy is gonna retrieve it and then you'll see anon taking the bus again.

Don't be that moron that dumps wax onto his car when he has nothing: low income, no established career, has no house, little or no savings, no investments/401k, no health insurance, his net worth is negative as he lives paycheck to paycheck. Yay for anon in the car that he can't afford. Grow the fuck up. Owning nice wax is fine if you have the means (income/net worth/career/family priorities....house/kids college/everything else like reserves to cover 8 months living expenses if either spouse becomes unemployed)

Often, the wax you want is often not within the budget of said idiot anon, yet he will buy it anyway even if he is broke and lives in his mom's basement. Putting your wax as priority when a guy can least afford it shows bad judgement, immaturity, and self-centered stupidity.

>bird shit
At least it'll wash off easier.

Are you going to take control of your life or mope about it?

>>14909264
mopar ound?

>>14909257

Sounds like you need to dump her first and take control of your life.
I'm not one to talk but maybe you can make it br/o/

1: Emissions and fuel economy regulations
and 2: Those transmissions are FAR from practical for everyday use.

>>14909227
The transmission alone is easily 200k, too. So...even with mass production, it'd stay expensive

>>14909219
Only designed to last a race would be the main reason.

Faggot.

dealers often give higher interest rates but you are more likely to be approved if you have shitty credit, or non-existent credit.

>>14909195

Try to get something you don't have to finance.

No, an airbag is sold as a whole unit. The entire center of that steering wheel would be replaced if an airbag deployed.

>>14909173
Probably just got taken off to look cool or some shit

>>14909344
This, there's actually a split designed into the airbag cover. If it deployed it would be damaged and it would be really obvious if it was repaired.

if you have to ask you are probably going to look so fucking out of place they'll ask you if you're waiting for your daddy

>"I'm white so I can get away with anything XDDD"
not when you're 300lbs and visibly NEET

Your appearance, even race, matters less than you think. Salesmen can usually tell pretty quickly if you have any green to back up your supposed interest.

But, of course, there are also dealerships that don't give a shit about any customer and treat them all like shit until they forcibly show they can buy shit.

>>14909129

I'm asking in general with the assumption that you're a normal, sociable, well-adjusted person.

Making fun of the white comment sounds like you're a jelly nigger, btw.

Its an 06 GT for anyone wondering

ones that have actually been there?

probably some skinny german kid from /dbt/ on a 125

>>14908872
>implying there are at least 10 people on /o/ over the age of 12

>>14908872
10 is a P71
9-2 are Twingos
Number 1 would have been a Twingo also except the P71 T-boned him a few yards away from the finish line because he was mad about getting lapped
The Twingos only differentiated themselves from each other in speed by the formula [(Black Ice trees on the rear mirror)^(/osg/ sticker volume in cubic meters)]

If you're asking /o/ for help on this, you're pretty much completely dependent on the integrity of the seller.

At this point, don't be a dumbass and pray.

>>14908818
Read the sticky faggot, it has an entire guide.

>>14908818

Look at the oil on the dipstick. If it's milky brown or has some other fluid mixed in with the oil stay away.

Look at the coolant reservoir and also look for contamination there. Any oil/coolant mixing is a sign of headgasket failure.

Look at the transmission fluid if it's an automatic. Cycle through the gears and then look at the level, check the color (should be pink/clear maybe a little brown if not changed in a while) and make sure it doesn't have a burnt smell. When you drive it be on the look out for strange noises, and shifting problems. It should go into all gears smoothly and shouldn't make the whole car lurch or bump. Look out for bubbles on the stick or low/high fluid level. You want it between the dots/lines as indicated for the temperature of the fluid.

Look under the car for any obvious leaks and frame damage or rust. Check the fuel lines for any damage or rust.
Check the valve cover for leaking at the part it joins the engine.
Check the brake lines and brake fluid for the level and contamination. The pedal should not feel spongy when you brake. Make sure it does a good job stopping the car when you test drive it, it shouldn't take too much effort to push the pedal down to stop it.

When it idles it should be smooth, if there are hiccups it could be a sign of misfiring. If the car vibrates a lot it could be bad motor mounts or a drive train issue.

If you make turns and you hear ticking from the wheels or the sound of grinding the CV axles could have issues.
Any creaking or bounciness could point to suspension problems.

When you accelerate it should do so smoothly without any hiccups, if it hesistates it could point to transmission or ignition problems including misfires.

Obviously don't brush off a check engine light. Bring an OBDII scanner if possible if it's a model from 1996+ compatible with OBDII.

Good luck!

keep the money for meds gramps

I love these cars so much omg.

>pic not mine

Sounds about right. 21k would be a great deal.

>What cool old (affordable) Mercedes do you like?

Basically too many to list. Even just affordables.

You can get regular Benzes of the same age for 3k in Germany. Not with that engine but I don't think yer dad will appreciate the motorization anyway.

>>14908515
(maybe) Something you already own?

Replace it and it's fine.

is that just a heat shield? if so then not fucked

It really dosen't matter.

But now you know what happens when you jack a car up on the unibody. Use the pinch weld instead.
