Buy the seller, not the car. NP

The 8c is a no brainer, the 4c could go either way. If they sold it in manual it would be a classic already. But they sold dozens of amazing F1/DCT cars, and a lot are still on the way down. They can’t all come back up. 

They did say carbon neutral, because not even god can claim to produce entropy-neutral power. Even the Flintstones weren’t entropy neutral.

Saying the S3 is comparable to an ILX is like saying a fiesta ST competes with a corvette

Bingo

It’s really hard to argue a front bias Haldex AWD system is a true sports car. It’s almost more like a rally car. I have a RX8 as my weekend car, and that’s a real sports car next to the S3. I love both of my sons but the Mazda is the sports kid.

Audi doesn’t really have a direct competitor to the 2 series, and BMW doesn’t really have a direct competitor to the A/S3, so we can both be right on this one. 

If a Miata had a laggy 1.4L turbo at 20# of boost and was $65,000, that’s correct absolutely no one would buy it.

The S3 in its current form is literally the perfect DD. Absurdly comfortable, fast without being suicidal (weird that cars that can break into the 12’s in the 1/4 with a mild tune are suddenly just “acceptably fast”), perfectly sized and proportioned, great seats and noises... only downside is front-bias AWD instead…

There has never been a manual S3 in the states unless you generously count the Golf R. But honestly, with a fairly high pressure turbo on a tiny 2L / 2.5L the DSG is better suited to the task. I say this as a S3 owner that exclusively owned manuals for like 20 years before this. And the RS3 would be a statistical dog…

This is so great. I want to do this so bad. I’ll see what they offer and then put $5,000 on top. “Oh KBB is just the suggested market price, we have a market condition adjustment”

Eh, fully owned in-building spaces in TriBeCa range from $400-650k last I looked. 

TPMS sensors don’t last the life of any car.

Man there’s sending it and there’s SENDING IT 

It’s definitely wiper blades. “They get most of the water off just fine, there’s never any traffic for me to see on this road anyways”

The parts bin interior is a major turn off, and if you don’t have a dealer that’s been in business since the car was released they’re extremely difficult to service. And parts availability especially for electronics is touchy. But they are stunning to look at.

Yeah I know the car world has changed a lot in the last year, but manual volantes seem to still be in the 45k range (I debated going to look at one for 35k last year, but couldn’t stomach the champagne paint). The manual coupes used to be in the 40’s too, but I haven’t seen one for sale in probably 9 months so once…

No, it’s this pervasive attitude of “poor people don’t deserve things” that someone else pointed out, and then piously lecturing everyone about how right and rich you are. Especially given that he’s read exactly one article on a fucking video game site about it.

totally agree so if we’re going apples to apples here and if you can’t afford unsocialized medicine (like vet care) then you shouldn’t have kids. Right? get off your high horse. the dog could be a rescue. You don’t know shit about this situation and you don’t know shit about his family

I bet you couldn’t afford kids without socialized medicine so I’m sure you don’t have any, otherwise kindly shut the fuck up
