I bought a $600 96 Taurus out of desperation.
It had 120K miles.
Now its edging close to 300K miles, and spent at least $4,000 in overall maintainance, fixing oil leaks, freze plugs, transmission, but everthing in it is fixable.
Car is fucking 20 years old.
That's what you get for bandwagoning mercedes/bmw faggot
Bought a Fiero. In a year and a half, spent more than 5 thousand on all sorts of shit, including shocks, complete rear brake overhaul, and a fucking 2,200$ transmission job (that was probably botched).
But I lust after her so.

Bought a 5speed turbo dream cruiser with 83k miles for $4k a little over a month ago and already did close to $1k in parts, luckily i Was able to do all repairs myself.

>>14817928
Rebuild engine, bigger turbo, luckily guy who makes and tunes these engines is local to me so i got engine management covered. Of course suspension is next. So far I have k&n drop in, muffler delete for that srt4 engine tone pops and crackles. I'll eventually do full exhaust. Boost gauge And rice blow off valve.
>>14817946
wasn't trying. I got shit shit for driving an srt4 of course I'll get shit for driving a pt cruiser i was prepared. But smoking mustang fags in this thing is priceless.
>>14817886
>It's not half bad looking..
That's right, it's completely bad looking.
>>14817979

Maybe a suspension job will help

>>14818082
Do you not know what sarcasm is or do you just not understand it? You are right though, there are only two types of car owners in this world, ones who buy and modify PT Cruisers, and lonely losers looking for attention from women, there is no in between.
>>14817859
I assume you didn't ask about it here since everyone would have told you that they're unreliable turds, and of course a plethora of subjective comments as well. I'll be the seller kept mentioning it shares the same engine as the SRT-4 Neon, huh?
>>14817886
Oh.

Bought 2000 Impreza 2.5rs for $1200 from junkyard with blown motor. Put about $1500 more into it to get it all sorted, but it runs great now.
Bought a 2001 H6 Outback for $500, put another $700 in it, now it's the god of winter.
>>14815663
I'm not poor and I like domestics. I mean yeah I can't afford a Porsche and I don't want the hassle of a used one but I just like pony cars over say an STI

Not a chance you beat any mustang gt built after 1993 in that heap
>tfw buy 600$ 04 optima 5 speed
>only thing in 4 years and 50k miles was oil, plugs, 120$ clutch, and a 30$ muffler.
Japs got their shit together i tell you
Such a dumb mentality.
>I paid $1500 for the car
>it's going to cost $1600 for the repair!
>TIME TO THROW THIS CAR IN THE GARBAGE
...or consider that you have a running, functioning car for $3100
Now take that $3100 of hypothetical spending money and try to find something else that won't have similar problems. If you can, it means you're an idiot and made a shitty purchase in the first place. So fuck you, deal with it.
If you can't, well... you have a running car for $3100.

HOW?
What transmission do you have in that thing? The wonderful thing about Fieros is that they are GM parts bin specials, so you can fix them for super cheap. I put a New Old Stock 5 speed in mine for $300, and I was still wondering if I should get a good condition junkyard unit for half that.
You aren't set up for drag racing, are you?

You have a point?
I got my car for free

Although I loathe those cars, I'm a bit jelly.
It's gonna be real good when you're done with it, anon.
And you know it will be good.
Got a 94 Volvo 940 turbo that looks like it rode a few miles up against a concrete barricade. Paid 800 for it and started with all the maintenance and gaskets then slowly turned up the boost. Drove it for 30k like that and just last week blew the head gasket. Since it's down now I put on new gaskets, timing belt, head work, and a bigger turbo. No more slow beater, and I still have under $2500 in it. Pic related
