Under $20k? No freaking way! I bet the car has 15k miles and cost him $30k at least.
And torque does wonders Yum. Especially when it's there at low RPMs.

I love the Macan...but, I miss the lowness of a "car" more. I am pretty sure my FX replacement will be back to something like that hence a wagon. Audi A4 allroad, Volvo V90, and the E-Class Estate (non-AMG) are my 3 choices for now.
The Volvo is gorgeous to me. I need to know more on pricing and options...And of course, settling into the new place and seeing how the finances are going. It's a tad bigger than my current place (not too much) and so, upkeep will go up...as well, property taxes will not be cheap. There's also the mortgage too. I will blame Little Cha about how he's cock-blocked his Pops' ability to buy himself new cars when he wants when he becomes a surly teen and starts talking back.
For now, I can't scold him. Too cute.

Goal is to eventually get it to 400hp... won't be hard. An air intake adds 18 horsepower at the wheels.

So $30k + some. Still a great deal! And yea it's fast, period. Who cares about others. I'm just busting your balls.
That's crazy low miles. You too seemed to have found a good opportunity.

I drove one of those Nismo's. My lawnmower honestly felt faster. More torque.

it was from a dealership.. I hate dealerships and wanted to avoid one at all costs, but this ended up working well for me. They were actually good to deal with. No forsale ad, as far as I'm aware.
Original owner traded this in for a Shelby GT350. Must be nice

Nice Adam, congrats, man.
I didn't realize you were THAT on the hunt for another car already. Thought you were gonna sit tight for a bit.
What are you doing with the TL?

Okay, I'm done.
That's a nice looking ride Tacoballs. Looks like much more fun than whatever financially-responsible bullshit you were supposed to spend the money on would look.

GAH!! I KNOW!!! They had a white one come through their doors, but I missed it by a week. Oh well.. the silver has really grown on me. It absolutely POPS in the sun.
I really wasn't. It wasn't supposed to happen for another year. Wifey and I did much debating, moved some stuff around and made it happen.
TL is gonna stay. It'll remain as my daily- I mean, it's paid for and I wouldn't get much for it if I traded it in/sold it. The 370 is for summer purposes only. I refuse to let her see a spec of snow.

LOL...it'll be another 15 years until Cha goes to college. So, yeah...given how I keep my cars for about 9-11 years, it's possible. Albeit, he may have his own ideas as kids are apt to do. Who knows what cars will be like 10-15 years from now.
