Yeah - um - drop a digit from the price buddy, this engine bay is filthy and the car has 100+k/26 years on it, no way am I dropping $11.5k on this worn out but interesting car... $6-7k tops is where I'm at ... at this price as they say in Bavaria "es das Crack-Pfeife ist"
Here is a novel idea, why don't we just get rid of the US Postal Service? No need to find a successor to the current vehicle and the private delivery companies can deliver 500 credit card applications a week to each household.
Yeah, to be fair, the nuclear bear is raiding its neighbors garbage, so its making a fucking nuisance of itself.
I love me some MGB-GT, no matter what's on the front. Unless it's a random glowing orb telling me what to do. Fuck that noise.
Might be the longest article I've ever seen on jalopnik. Anyways, don't the feds have something more useful to do than running around snatching old 4x4s up??
At least yours were mechanical. My 2015 GTI is currently in the shop and has been for 7 non-consecutive weeks since i bought it 7 months ago. It's feel pretty well put together but I guess its not.
... and isn't that what all of us are really looking for? A car with vanilla looks, a bit of torque, decent handling, PLUS early and frequent repair/service bills up the kazoo? Man, am I drooling. Condolences, mate.
I bought a new 2013 Jetta TDI Premium with DSG for $24k a few years back. It does what it's supposed to and hasn't given me any problems so far. I will admit it's really boring to drive, however that's why I have a Cayman.
Why'd you buy it, what with that perfectly good e30 there in the background?
Test drove one last year. If by "tons of power" you mean "not really that much power", then I agree... and if by "handles like it's on rails" you mean "has decent grip but massive understeer", then I also agree. ;-)
Sounds like a pretty typical VW purchase......
The car was built as a factory prototype and according to the ad was used by Herbert (may I call you Herbie?) Hartge himself until 2002. The particulars of the car are: 5-litre S50B32 V8; 420-bhp/383 lb-ft of torque; six-speed manual transmission; upgraded suspension and brakes. Good stuff, all of it.
I'm pretty sure that would make this episode a win/win/win for you...
Nice to see my ex got married.
It's good to be the king.
I don't think too many Hellcat owners have Priuses as second vehicles.
It's true. It's a warzone here in the Tokyo regional area. Wild packs of s15s everywhere, drifting through the tiny shopfront streets, into school yards, through company parking lots. Revving, slinging gravel, tussling with police kei cars which cannot keep up.
