Okay /o/ Im looking to buy my very first car, I have a budget of 12k maybe 14k
I was considering a 350z but I'm not sure, I heard they were really fun to drive.
Has anybody here ever own one before?
Any other cars you guys might suggest I should buy instead of this?

A tt 300zx is way more fun than a 350z on any day.

Very first car? Buy something cheap, reliable, and you won't kill yourself in.

Pleasant. Few cars, nice scenery. It'd be perfect if I didn't have to climb a few mile 6% grade.

Show me what (the equivalent) $500 would get you in your country.
Bonus points when you can get actually something decent and running.

I want to get a new car, and I want it to be something decent. I think the brand new 2016 Honda Civic's look awesome, and I saw they got top review.s. But I also really like the new BMW 3 series.
What's a better buy? 2016 Honda Civic Touring or 2016 BMW 3 series?

I still have a bunch of random shift knobs, pedals, and other random shit from when I worked at Toyota and they had just launched the xA and xB, the buyers could "personalize" them by buying tacky crap and we would install them during the PDI. They'll be worth millions now, there is never going to be another OEM Scion shift knob.

FR-S was the only car they made that was any good, all the other shit did them in.

What does being a "good" car have to do with being a profitable brand?
Also, fr-s, good.
>makes an extra 40hp with just a CAI, catback, and a tune bro
I'd wager maybe 1 in 100 "tunes" are an actual improvement over the factory one. Making your car run extra rich to make a few more HP on the dyno is going to cause you long term problems while not being noticeable speedwise anyway. You and your stage 2 vapetuner friend do not know more than the OEMs.

tuners just advance timings or fuck with compression, a tune will work if theres enough knowledge behind it

Why aren't you researching a car's torque ratio before you buy it, anon?

my car actively transfers the torque so i dont care

>>14449419
My torque adjusts with my speed on the highway, so the faster I go the more torques I have.

Because Hondas have no torque, anon.

Fisker Karma. Tesla if taxpayer money wasn't thrown at them. Scion wasn't really a flop, it was an experimental brand for Toyota to study young people.

Still Tesla. They haven't been making a single dollar yet.

Is it a good idea to pick up a 2000-2004 Harley Davidson with less than 10k miles?
Are there parts that's susceptible to break down due to age?
Lastly, has there been a major improvement that I would be missing out for not picking up a newer model? Are the older engine still considered fast to today's standards?

Not even once
>>
>>14448401
The newer models would still be using technology from the 1940's.
And no, harleys are fucking noisey slowmobiles.
>>
>>14448401
The low mileage is a bit concerning due to seals drying out, and I'd check the gas tank for rust inside. Other than that, the new ones are only a bit bigger displacement, as far as fast, it'll go plenty fast enough to kill you. That being said, I own and prefer the Evo over the twin cam, but both engines should easily get to 100k with no problem. Mine is 24 years old and doesn't leak a drop of oil.
Is the Mustang a good car?

It's a bad car if you cant afford it, got beat by one, enjoy anime, your dad hated Fords, or your favorite manufacturer is in Germany. Otherwise they're pretty k.
