Help Me Buy A Car Thread v.ScottyB: WITNESS ME BROTHERS

[ScottyB]

Updaaaaatttteeee I'm dying to know.

insurance dragging its feet getting me the settlement on the car, can't buy anything yet without it.

the RS goes off to a Copart somewhere in SC this week. might try to do a farewell AWD launch on camera before it goes on the truck. tomorrow and wednesday i'm ripping off a bunch of parts so there'll be a pretty fat For Sale thread soon.

i don't have the balls to buy a mkVI GTI outside of warranty and my budget won't let me get one that has anything left. too much BS with tensioners, intake flaps, coil packs, water pumps, etc. especially when the mkVII is considered so much better and just out of reach, so maybe a GTI next time. out of the running.

Focus ST is in its place as the new hot hatch choice. trying to figure out if they're reliable or if typical internet hyperbole is skewing the real picture. they are right inside my budget with low miles and supposedly a blast to drive. if they aren't garbage outside of warranty years i'm going to look hard for a 2014 in blue/red/yellow.

watching a couple odd E92 328i's. not sure if its actually what i need/want anyway. too fancy. so much silver holy crap.

found a pretty mint 2011 Si, gonna drop by the dealership to see it wednesday if it doesn't sell out from under me like everything else so far. i loved the test drive in the ragged out one last week, car felt so alive. hard to find a good one.

unplanned car buying as an enthusiast is a crappy cat and mouse game, would not recommend
