By the way, you're welcome to come over and drive my GTI whenever. It has a tune though so if you're comparing to stock it's going to be a lot different (should be around 300whp). It does have the performance pack which has the LSD and bigger brakes.

I wouldn't really worry about the dealership thing. I've had no problems out of mine and there's a dealership in Staunton if you really need one.

I'll message you. I'm testing out a MSM Miata on Saturday, too

Stop it. Just buy something simple.

Simpler than some of my other options I've been floating

An NB Miata would be simple. Presumably buying a cheap MSM is not simple and you'll be back on here with another horror story.

Just want to test it out. Let's be real, my horror story was totally self inflicted. I'm a little bit wiser now.

Tyler take a look at the 135. It's the best car I've ever owned. I have the N55 (more reliable) but the N54 motor has HUGE tune potential; can get 400 hp with the drop of a hat.

Looking into a Land Rover Discovery II; it's in PA - do I need to get the PA title notarized to be titled in VA? Apparently PA requires it...

No you do not, I bought my enclosed trailer from PA and had the same question. VA DMV didn't give a shit. Only required if you are re-titling in PA.

Also, why do you want a Disco? They're lovely but they're awful, and that's coming from a friend of mine who's owned three of them. The LR3 is what to get if you want a reliable Land Rover that can go places.

little baby jesus · 09-28-2020, 09:23 PM

Ah that's good to know. I know the Disco II is a nightmare which kind of makes me love it more. Although a little more reliability can never hurt...might be out of my budget though - looking for a vehicle to get me to work in the snow approx $2-3k.

Send me a PM in about a week.

Why does it seem the used market is a lot higher this year? I'm seeing POS MkIII Mr2's going for like 10k, Mk III Supras going for 12k and literally every ad says, "I know what I got, if you don't like the price move on".

Am I missing something here? Is it just a seller's market right now or something? High mileage E36 M3's are going E46 M3 money now.

All the cool shit from the 90's and 2000's is now in the nostalgia window for people with disposable income. They also aren't making any more of them.

Yeah, have you seen BaT in the past 2 years? Its bonkers. I dont want to play that game.

#grandpa. Gotta get off BAT and Autotrader and do private sales. *cough cough* Clean 997.1 GT3s are falling in price.

I am le stupid

RawrImAMonster · 10-07-2020, 09:20 AM

All used cars are high right now. It's not just the sporty old ones. Part of it is dealerships can't get used cars like they used to since the auctions are mostly only online now.

But yeah I was hoping to get an M2 this year but they seem to be priced a few thousand higher than last year for the same condition car.
