You can't fix ugly.

 

$25k.. I'd buy used.

 

Well dur, but for 50-70% speed driving, Ford's done a pretty good job with their FWD. I haven't tracked the car but generally I agree with you that RWD/AWD is better.

That said, I'd rather have torque steer than look at that ... abomination*.

* read in James May's voice

 

Yeah, you can.

 

370Z considered a hatch?

It's close at $33K brand-new I think.

 

And the smart fortwo is RWD.

 

 

Suggestions? Prefer something with low miles at this point. I've also driven relatively huge cars. Camaro and TL, both over 3400 lbs. Pigs for their time.

Nothing heavy when it comes to maintenance. I'd like to be able to fix it with myself with basic knowledge and hand tools and at most, an OBD-II scanner. My friend has a Solus I think, but hell if I remember how to use that.

 

Not sure the MS3 will be under $25k. The 3s Touring starts at 25k before TTL & destination. I'd think a new MS3 would be above that.

I'm just being patient & waiting for the 3s with a 6MT, personally. Can't stand the tiny digital tach & want a bit more power than the 3i had.

 

Fuck yeah.. so your criteria is light and reliable?

 

Came across this - 1973 Mini Pickup.

Hmm why so cheap? 2011 Audi S5 4.2 Premium Plus with 24k miles for $28,900.

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1

 

What did that S5 MSRP for? $45-55k somewhere?

It is 3, almost 4 years old too.

Costco, have you looked at a GTI?

 

$54k as a base MSRP. damn at that $28k... that is a sweet ride.

 

Dunno if I would say that is "cheap". A 2011 was likely out in 2010...so, you're looking at a 4-year old car.

It's a great car...but, still, not "cheap" per se. Maybe that's the cheap in me talkin'.

 

With the V8... IWHI.

10 best engines according to Jalopnik:

^^ wow #1 for GM?? nice.


what a businessman.

You dummy, read the print, salvage title, flood car.

 

The GM engine is in the Corvette, Holden's cars, the Camaro...so, some pretty good cars.

Interesting to see Porsche is not on there.

 

Stirring the pot for nothing..

 

Makes the asking price even more ridiculous!

 

Not starting anything...but, just saying that you started a thread about this awhile ago: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=lingenfelter

 

You cray cray yumkins.. I'm not a fan of the S5, but a 2-3 year old manny V8 S5 with warranty for $28k is fantastic.

 

Nah, you right, not cray, just cheap.

 

looking quickly yeah, that is a very low price for a 2011 S5. First page of results on Autotrader all of them are in the 40's

 

Then the answer is obviously Miata/MX-5.

 

Just don't get the one with the folding hard top. More weight and more that can go wrong

 

yeah, its common knowledge he has a nice collection. it never hurts to look back at it. and these are new pictures I haven't seen before.

 

Actually, I was going to suggest saving his monies for 2015 turbo 4 banger stang. Or a gently used 2.0T ATS.

 

BS! F20/F22 is not on the list?

 

Had to have been wrecked because it should be $38-40K

 

still looks sweet. I'd rock it haha

M6 Horse Edition

If someone tells me "oh i drive a BMW M6 Horse Edition" , i don't know how i would react.

 

I completely missed it. Makes sense now.

 

MX-5 Club or bust. Talk to JS + Monster-Truck-BRZ and find out what dealer quoted him $23k.

 

Costco wants a light and reliable hatchback.

here you go:



Heard this is pretty good on gas too.

 

 

Supercharged & 6MT. Would be a ton of fun I bet. But $25k

 

I almost missed this post..
