What in the world should I buy?
#41
I'm living and working in North Jersey at the moment, but I have to go to the city for meetings. Yeah, public transportation is probably the smarter option for that. I guess I'm also just the oddball in this group in the sense that I prefer dding an auto. I have my s2000 for the weekend drives so I'm not really aching to find another stick. In any case, the TL-S is something I had been also been considering, I just couldn't find one with as low miles as that. I very well might have to go to brooklyn to look at that one next week. Man, I suck at car shopping.

Car shopping gets harder with owning more cars because you're less willing to compromise.

That's kind of sad that BMW doesn't know how to do a turbo 3L properly. :oops:

You're definitely not the oddball, lots of us alumni are DDing 2-pedals these days.

I'm assuming the BMW was stock, and assuming Lee's bolt ons got him an extra 10hp you've effectively got two cars that weigh about the same and make about the same power, seems pretty logical they'd keep up with one another on the highway. Throwing a JB4 tune on that 335i would've curb stomped the Acura into last week, at least until the HPFP blew up.
Now: 07 Porsche Cayman S | 18 VW Tiguan

Then: 18 VW GTI Autobahn | 95 BMW M3 | 15 VW GTI SE | 12 Kia Optima SX | 2009 VW GTI | 00 BMW 540i Sport | 90 Mazda Miata | 94 Yamaha FZR600R | 1993 Suzuki GS500E | 2003 BMW 325i | 95 Saab 900S

Yeah the 335i was leased and stock. Dead even which really surprised me, would have likely had to sprayed a 75 shot to keep up with a tuned 335i.

Cargurus is a good site actually, that's where I found my mint XFR. It seems to pick up cars that didn't exist in any other searches, and I actually had a few good leads come through it when I was selling the Jag. Anyway yeah most of the TL-S's are fairly high mileage since at best they are 8 years old now, but honestly I wouldn't even be afraid of a well maintained high mileage example. I sold mine at 130k+ miles and it was running like a raped ape

Nice! What year and details?

Are those in the $15-18k range he was trying to stay in?

O ye of little faith. Anyway yeah, it's actually a 2016, 350 F sport. 4 year lease, not sure whether or not I'm gonna buy it afterwards. I'm already in love with it, and I never thought I would drive anything from Toyota.
