“will these fit 2006 gti with air ride? would you take $2k?”

You don’t want to go older than 2015 on the twins (that’s when they fixed nearly all the problems, the 2013 are all recalled due to valve springs and the 2014 have the same ignition coil failure issues as the 2013).

See, that would make more sense. We’ll give you manual, because you’re an enthusiast who’s willing to pay extra for it, so here’s a little extra AWD and turbo power for ya.

Now they need to offer the manuals with the premium engines. They can charge more money. Why wouldn’t they?

^This.

this is the Supra everyones been waiting on

“My savings are zilch and my debt is high. I will likely have to dig into my retirement account to cover a down payment”

Gone too soon.........

Nobody bought the Ferrari F430 in manual either, but they are worth ~$100k more with a manual today. Problem is that the type of person who buys a new one is different from the type who wants a used one.

The article said it was 4%.

Eh, it’ll be valuable because it’s a rare manual.

I’m not sure it’s going to skyrocket, if they were that desirable they would have kept making them. I would love to see the take rate on manual F types.

... and take your star!

Frosted Quakes?!

Dumb white girl, who is desperately trying to convince the world that she’s black, gets a tattoo in a foreign language, and it’s wrong? You don’t say.

Honestly Koenigsegg and Saab are a great fit together. Christian von Koenigsegg is a genius at engineering beyond the status quo, and Saab always was a bit of a rebel at GM because they ignored the bean counters and made their cars better than they were allowed to. If only they’d go back to gas engines at least in…

Yeah, the 540i’s are pretty easy to work on and can be found super cheap, which makes them a superb value. I got a running, driving 540i/6 for $1500 a year ago, and I had lots of fun with it. I took it off-roading even though it was lowered on coilovers, because why not?

Mk4 TDIs are solid too.

that’s why this is almost an automatic CP. i just wouldn’t invite the chaos of a 20 year old car into my life if it wasn’t special in some way, like top trim and biggest motor that was available for the model. there are times when people really need transportation and really only have a couple grand to spend for it.…
