Objectively idiot peasants: OP

The car looked awkward but the room concept was really fucking advanced.

It's actually a really intelligent car. Seats six, lots of interior room and clever storage, great visibility. It only looks like a complete abortion. They at least somewhat fixed the outside with the 2004 facelift, and built it all the way until 2010.

Tell your dad to fuck off, and find a nice NA model.

It's your money, you spend it on what you want.

>>17618079
>"""I""" have enough money
>I

Is it actually your money or is it your dad's? If it's yours buy an NA

If you do get an NA remove the airbags. They are actually deadly. Not joking.

But NB's are all around better cars. They just lack flip up head lights so yeah

>>17617989
This question is more of an argument starter than anything. What do you want from this car? Do you want POWER? Do you want practicality? Do you want to attack corners or carry people and stuff?

>>17617989
Mustang GT 350, camaro SS , or Chevy SS

>>17618005
This. What are your needs, OP?

>I want to fix my car but not do any work

Just take it to your local independent dealer, he could do with the money anyway.

>cut through the back
You will damage the tank. Just drop it. It's shit easy.

Not that easy plus I don't have that kind of money and it has to be done today

Get a GMT400, half-ton 5.7L. C1500 or K1500.

The 350ci is one of the most reliable, best small block engines you can get for the money. All of them are insanely cheap and are simple to work on. That'll more than likely fall inside of your price range.

Pic related, my boy.

Price can depend on your area a LOT.

Around here (SE Iowa) is truck-land. Every swingin dick in high school has a truck and then beyond - $1000 trucks here go for like $3000-4000. Primarily if it's a 4WD v8 Full-Size

That said, I was in similar shoes and I had my eyes set on getting a 5.0 or 4.9 I6 F150 most likely in 2WD. I wanted to also pull a boat, but mainly just hauling stuff. They seem to be more plentifully available at realistic prices.I mostly blame their reasonable prices here because they don't have as much masculinity in their looks as their Ram1500/K1500 counter parts.

I would stay away from dodge though, every one I've seen especially from 90's to early 2000's get DOG shit gas mileage. Without a trailer my buddy's 5.9 Ram1500 got 8mpg in a 4 hour trip. Pulling my buddy's car with my 5.7 k1500 the same trip I got 11.4mpg.
Dodges also have loads of issues and yes they are known for trans issues.

The F150's are pretty reliable, and the k1500's as well. The motors are bullet proof for the most part. They can leak fluids out of every mating surface and run forever. Transmissions are generally ok too. The 700R4/4l60 in the GM trucks isn't the best but it's not a ticking time bomb either like a dodge.

The main things that plague these trucks is chassis/suspension/steering components.
Get that stuff squared away and you'll be good for awhile. Don't mess with knock/china parts for all that. Get moog and you'll likely be good for long term.

I have a 97 K1500 4x4 with the 5.7 - i lucked out on mine and traded a $1100 SVT Focus for it. Even though it has rust it'd sell for 3500-4500 if I were to post it on CL.

So keep your eyes open. Know what to check - pay attention to steering/suspension.
For your needs a 6cyl truck would probably do fine though I'd stay away from the rangers. S10 4.3 would just barely be enough for the boat.

I'd stick to full size in your shoes.

>buying a truck to do things you need a trailer for anyway
>thinking you can buy a decent truck for a grand or two
You'll barely get a boat trailer for a grand if the boat doesn't already come with it.

How much did you fuck up then op?

>>17617718
I can't afford any vehicle.

I know that feeling, OP. I bought a 2008 Honda Civic.

first for honda a best the two posts above don't count

I'm looking at a couple of cars this weekend, but $25 for a single autocheck is a bit much for me to stomach.

Pls respond

I'm not sure I've never ridden a bike

Rip in pieces clutch

>>17617182
I've driven one of those new Passats that also had an electronic parking brake. Basically you'll hear the hydraulics engage when you pull the little switch.

>>17617196
I tried this, but even if the light was on i could rock it in neutral
Do i need the shifter in P?
What does it even do in a dsg?

normies put their cars in park with few consequences literally millions of times per day
just put it in park and don't worry about it unless you're on a hill

This right here. /o/ makes fun of me for buying a new Kia but the dealership marks them down so much and they're much better quality these days.

>>17616876
>he bought a new car
For what reason?

>>17616844
>americans
Seriously is this bait? How can a human being not realise how to do a hillstart in a microsecond.

>>17616844
Everybody does, OP when - starting out. You just have to do it and play with the clutch. Modern cars have hill start features these days that make it brain dead too. You kids have it easy.

>>17616844
>not doing burnouts away from every start, hill or not
Wew

Plz respond :(

It's a 20+ year old foreign car. What do you think?

>>17617498
It isn't foreign, they were sold in the U.S. Maybe a pic of a 4 door would do better?

But then again, best roads make driving a shitbox more comfy than a luxo barge on bad roads.
just use that cruisecontrol to avoid tickets.
