This thing looks like it should have a 24' Natique permanently attached to the bumper. Even in Minnesota.

I plan on listing mine for what I bought it for a few years ago. Mine has 73k on it right now and is in excellent shape. I think I have about $2500 into mine including tires, fluids, suspension compressor and hubs. I really have no complaints about mine. I know quite a few people with LR3's, Range Rovers and Range…

I've had very few problems with mine. If you get one, plan on having the suspension compressor rebuilt/replaced and having the front control arms replaced. If either or both of those have been done, you should be in pretty good shape. Make sure you change the diff and transfer case fluids. If I were to keep mine…

I rebuilt the original compressor once and it was ok for about 6 months. I ended up just swapping in the AMK lr4 compressor and getting the software update. Nothing is more annoying than the "Suspension Fault" warning. You never know when it will show up with a failing compressor. LR set far too many parameters for…

I've had almost no problems with mine. I have replaced the suspension compressor, which is expensive, but I assumed I was going to replace it at some point because the all fail. The only other thing I've done to it other than regular fluids and maintenance is replaced the front hubs. One bearing was going out, so I…

I'm in the process of buying a 2008 135i for my wife from the original owner (a fellow bmw nut) with all records and still under warranty for about a third of its original price. Non lease bmws are harder to find though in bigger cities.

I think the bmw's of 10 years ago are almost better quality than today. Places like bavauto and pelican parts are usually better deals on parts than the dealer, but on some parts, the dealer is cheaper. Most bmw parts are actually cheaper than people think.

It all depends on the owner. BMW's are very well designed cars, and for the most part, extremely easy to work on. I've owned half a dozen used BMW's and each generation/series have their problems, but can usually easily be fixed. For example, if you buy an E46- Change the front control arm bushings, the coolant…

This is the exact train of thought that goes into the cars I buy. I have a 2005 LR3 that I bought at five years old and with 45,000 miles. Still has the original sticker in the glove box. It was $68k new and I bought it five years later for just under $17k from the original owner. I'll always let someone else eat the…

I ride a Monster and love it. I can't wait for the Scrambler be a reasonably-priced used bike in a few years. That being said, Ducati is pushing the "lifestyle" marketing harder than a pacemaker salesman in a nursing home. It's a winning product already, we don't need to be sold the matching sweaters, beard combs and…

I offer a bargain Veyron Oil change for only $20k.

I've been planning on buying a 996 for about a year. They're extremely affordable, still under 3,000lbs and 300hp. I have access to a lift, so the IMS isn't a huge problem for me. I don't mind the looks, they've actually grown on me. I would much prefer the 997, but not for 2-3x the price.

He has quite a few videos of the garage on his website. It's an impressively efficient small workspace.

How much did XCAR have to beg to drive those cars? Then, have someone at Aston say, "Fine, but you only get to drive them around a carpark."

"Carry me, little minions."

Not eBay but local craigslist for me. 2004 S600 V12. A lot of car for $15k.

I like how Tavarish gets all of us to do his research for him. Now he can simply scroll through the comments and go "Hmm... yes. Good deal. I'll buy that one and flip it. Thank you, random Jalop."

What's the jalop answer? Miata. Always Miata.

I really appreciate it when a company who (obviously) makes a lot of money actually use some of it to build a very usable, clean website like that. a lot of companies have terrible sites.
