Cool cars for sale that ain't yours!

[SlimKlim]

I'm all for cool weird rare cars but what the fuck does a single guy living in NOVA need a ginormous boat like that for? Not to mention it is in god awful red.

To haul chicks (or dudes), man. :roll:

So Joey and I can ogle it once or twice a year, duh.

You know me so well. <3

I already tried to talk him into going for a V70R or similar type of sleeper, but was shot down.

[ScottyB]

its worth noting that those V70's sound like an 80's Turbo-5 Quattro WRC car with a properly unrestricted exhaust. 5 points to Trollhattan.

Polen, think of how many dudes I could pack into that after a night at Nellie's and reconsider your opinion.

It's a super neat car (as is the sedan sibling) but $20k is too spendy for a daily/toy. Also, if I'm looking to haul dudes/trailers/IKEA purchases, I have the truck.

I am kinda sorta in the market for something fun, sporty, two-doored, three-pedaled, for like... 10 grand or less. No need for sleeper status, it can be a bit ridiculous or out there. Go go gadget Craigslist.

Kind of sounds like you want a Boxster or an S2000.

Boxster, maybe. No S2000's, for obvious reasons. And I find them a bit boring as street cars.

Fair enough.

Seems like you're destined for another BMW because I can't imagine you in a Z car or anything similar. What's your year range? Are you actually considering some of these engine swapped cars people are sending you? (I hope you aren't.)

I don't care about age. I'd like it to have working AC though.

No swaps. I don't want a project car or something that requires figuring out how DJ wired up this thing before I can fix this other thing.

I know I don't want a 350Z or F-Body. Or an S2k. Or a Subaru. Been there done that with Miatas.

My current list of thoughts includes...

• E46 330ci
  
• E46 M3
  
• Z3 M roadster
  
• 03-05 Boxster
  
• C5 Corvette?? Eh?
  
• Pontiac GTO
  
• 03-04ish Mustang Mach 1 (mostly because there's an orange one at the Mini dealer near me)
  
• Mini Cooper S

What am I missing here?

This or an Abarth 500. Join itty bitty angry snail committee! The force fed sleds! The pocket rocket docket!

[RawrImAMonster]

With the list you're looking at, maybe add a 1st gen CTS-V to the list. They have an LS6 or LS2 depending on the year.

I probably wouldn't go with a E46 M3 for a daily if it were me. Fairly expensive maintenance compared to other stuff on the list and there's a lot of expensive preventative stuff they really should have in the 100k+ range. Also, they just aren't great daily drivers. They're great when you're pushing them, but just eh for cruising around town.

Of that list I'd probably go with a 330i for a daily. That transmission is supposed to be super smooth which is something I'm kind of picky about. Part of the reason I say the M3 isn't a great daily is because the transmissions on those aren't particularly smooth when shifting at normal rpms.

[ViPER1313]

For a couple thousand more you can get into a 2011+ V6, which is quicker and nicer in every way than a 2004 Mach 1. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://m.cars.com/vehicledetail/#vdp?listingId=677783474">http://m.cars.com/vehicledetail/#vdp?li ... =677783474</a><!-- m -->

Look at Joey coming through with an actual viable and good suggestion!

something is wrong...I'm scared.

edit: any love for a VAG? good mid 2000's TT are only like 4-5k or an audi A4/S4 convertible? You've already earned your badge in German Electrical Problems, so it wouldn't be too unfamiliar territory

I've tried and tried to make him try a VAG but I just don't think he's interested. Honestly the suspension design on the A4 even scares me away and I'm truly sick in the head.

And to be fair I think the Abarths are cheap for a reason. But they're so tiny and cute and soulful that if I didn't have a 70lb dog to haul around, I might've bought one and dealt with its shit just to hear the optimistic little exhaust growl every morning.

[JPolen01]

Another vote for the Abarth. Every time I see one on the road it sounds so damn good.

[Jake]

I'm admittedly curious about trying a VAG although I don't know if I could stick with it long-term.

Audi TT's are out, I don't fit in them well and they're a bit too... hayyygurl for me. The S4, maybe. I just feel like everyone is super cautious of recommending a mid-00s Audi product, and I know nothing about them.

+1 Abarth. That little fucker sounds mean and I bet is a riot to drive.

Let's make it happen! MM is a democracy. right? I'd love to see one on a 33 cruise.
