What do you guys think? Should i hit up a stealership because most of them will come with the safety certification but i am afraid of getting blown out. Most of the private sale adds are not certified and the ones that are charge quite a bit more for them. The biggest killer is going to be insurance, which will be 300+ dollars a month.

Okay i might have fell for the RWD meme a bit hard but from what i have heard and read e36's and BMWs in general are expensive as fuck to maintain and simple parts are expensive.

I was paying 390/month for a 95 GSR back when I was probably 21 Yeah 25 and I'm paying like 218/month for a G35.
Buy an average dildo car, civic/protégé/jetta/corolla/lancer/sentra etc etc.
Find someone that has a manual car, offer to buy gas/lunch/hookers and drive their shitbox in a parking lot and get familiar.
John Scott
Yeah not looking forward to the insurance, at least i did the driving school two years ago. Currently 21 atm and just need a car seeing as you can't really do shit without one. Yeah i was looking at TDI Manual Jettas for that dank fuel economy but they are kind of rare from what i have seen and go quick.
Honestly digging some of these early/mid 2000s Mazda 3s. Their were some pretty mint civics though.
Charles Gonzalez
buy an old Honda civic/accord/prelude/integra for
Owen Jones
They rust that bad?
Dylan James
Not him but yeah they do. It's a shame because they're literally perfect cars apart from the rust issues. I'm guessing it snows a lot in Toronto?
Dylan Morales
Yeah, they salt the shit out of the roads to so it tends to BTFO any cars.
Samuel Mitchell
pic is a quebec car, but it snows a fair amount in Toronto and they salt. lately they've been spraying some weird ass brine solution on the roads. Great for melting snow and preventing icing up. Apparentally its quadruple bad for cars.
I've personally seen some mazda 3's with some seriously bad corrosion, never that bad though.
