I really want to get a Fiesta ST, 2011 or 2010 in early 2017
How likely am I to find one for less than $10k CAD, preferably with less than 120km?

wow, guess that isnt a thing
Damn, if I would have known of this thread I wouldn't have posted this in the dead E30 thread.
Anyway here goes..
Im considering of buying an E39 520i automatic with LPG installed. It's a '95.
Supposedly it just got its rust repaired and doors replaced due to rust.
What should I watch out for? How underpowered will it be with an engine that small?
pic related, the car in question is in this color
>>14318971
e39 is kind of a big bitch so underpowered does not pair well with
i think the 525i in the states was like 180whp? that definitely feels slow
So I've been looking for a fun manual car to replace my autotragic Cobalt. Pretty much everything I've looked at was between 6k to 9k, which is enough to get you a good, recent car.
But since I'm going to end up replacing it in under 2 years anyway (I have a career in the military lined up) so I figure I might as well get a cheap car so I can save towards my next one. Potentially as low as 2k.
Is the shitbox life suffering or is a couple years in a dated car not all that bad? On that note, how is the ZX2 S/R?
Why would owning a car with no car payments. And not having to worry if it gets messed up be bad?
>$6-9k
>shitbox
You'd have to royally fuck up to end up with a shit box.

can only use the power for 15 secs.... then it's a slow car until the cooldown period is over...
Turning radius, still trying to scheme my way into one though.

What's the best SUV I can get for 15-20k?
The bigger the better. I love the Toyota Sequoia.

Do you tow anything?
Do you haul around a lot of your demon spawn?
If the answer is no, shut up and buy a civic.
If you tow, get a tahoe/burb
If you have to haul around 2+ kids, get a minivan.
>>14324910
>you can't buy what you want, uou can only buy what I think you need.
>>14324910
Nah, one kid.
I just like big SUVs. I obviously can't afford a 2016 Sequoia, so I want the next best thing.
Pic related. I want to get a Challenger, but I can't help but feel i'm settling for something less. Would a car from the 70s be something I can daily?

Safety.
It's all about safety regulations. Aerodynamics for fuel economy to a degree as well, which is why angles are dead.

So are you saying that even by some act of god Chrysler decide to tool up to make a 70s era car, it wouldn't be legal?

You clearly don't understand the flaws with a cvt
But I already knew you were ignorant when you said you drive a "priud"
How long have you been a cuck op?

Apparently I have to be "responsible" now that I have a kid on the way.
Is the Mazda CX-5 (Touring) a nice compromise for someone who doesn't want a minivan?
Right now it's just me, my fiancee and her daughter but we have a son on the way too.
>crossover
>fiancee with a kid
Could you be any more of a cuck?
Sell her car and let her buy a crossover or whatever. Keep your car.

Ya fucked up lad. Ya fucked up!
Also get a forester xt.

Nothing too extravagant really. Which is fortunate, because it'd give me plenty left over.
