Would it be stupid to buy this?
I've always thought these were cool and I'm tempted
I have heard that they don't share very many parts with other Subarus which means it might be considerably more expensive to service than my current car do to it's rarity
I'm also a poorfag
I have enough cash to buy this but just
I would probably want to manual swap it at some point when I have the money
Talk me into/out of buying this

fuck
had one back in 2010.
I paid $1900 for mine with 127k no issues
Great car, very ahead of its time.
Super comfy, good ride, well optioned.
Bad: Pigfat, though the 230hp h6 has enough to still let it get out of its own way.
Shit gas mileage though. Have to run 91. I got about 15-18mpg in the city. highway was okay at 23-25.
Some hard to source parts. Motor isn't bad itself since it was shared between outback and such. Anything SVX specific can be hard to source.
Transmissions are glass. They are basically impreza/legacy transmissions that aren't designed for the weight of the SVX. A recently rebuilt one will likely be okay for awhile but I'd still expect to budget a rebuilt trans every 50-70k.
That all said - the cars are actually reliable if you maintain them. Not much is really a common issue besides the weak transmissions. There are worse "rare" cars to buy out there.
oh baby a 3k corolla worcester.craigslist.org
Do it. There is a niche of people who go after rare 90's Japanese coupes and they aren't getting easier to find. I have two Ford Probes, a GT V6 and a 4-cyl, so I will give you a preview of what you're in for with cars like these of this vintage.
Pretty much what said. They were all automatic because at the time Scoobaru didn't have a manual trans to handle the power of the flat-six. You can swap them from what I have heard and I believe some of the later STI transmission components are bolt ons, I could be wrong. I have seen them swapped to manual and I have seen them STI swapped too.
Find out what platforms it shares parts with, it will make your experience a lot easier. Probe shares parts with 5 different Mazdas and even some stuff from the SN95 Mustang, but as mentioned anything specific is going to be eBay. The Probe was kind of an orphan platform so not many people messed with them, but your SVX shares parts with the Impreza and that means mega-fuck-tons of aftermarket and parts. Plan on ordering any major maintenance stuff, like timing belt or water pump, most parts houses no longer keep stuff like that in stock, especially for something as obscure as the SVX.
They were a cool car back then, and still are, I'd buy one if I were to jump into a 90's Subaru platform.
As with any car of this vintage, check for rust inside and out, especially near the battery compartment, check door seals, check the trunk seal, and look for oil leaks. And post bread on hood when you get it.
This has been up for months
losangeles.craigslist.org
>salvage title due to very minor scratches on side
You make a compelling argument
The only thing that gives me pause is that I am poor and I'm not very mechanically inclined
I would have to rely on my mechanic for work
Sounds fishy
Well if I were you, I would save my pennies and save my dimes, as the Beach Boys said, cars of this vintage are not to be half-assed, I learned my lesson with my first Probe, RIP.
If anything, put your money together, buy the car and learn how to work on them. You'll save a lot of money that way, and you'll learn a trade, and these cars are a cinch to work on compared to today's nanny-mobiles.
2 grand for an SVX that apparently has been dealer-maintained, and in that condition, I'd be all over it if I was in the market for one. Plus, with it being a California car, rust is probably a minimum. Jump on it.
Not any specific find, but I'm looking for a decently reliable cheapo-box to learn stick with, ideally under $3k.
Should I just get something like a 90s civic coupe or would something more fun and rwd like a 240sx or 90s mustang still be reasonable at that price range?
I have been wanting to learn to do repairs myself it's just tricky because I don't have a proper garage and park on the street as it is. You have any tips on how to learn?
Post your local Craigslist so we can find you something
cosprings.craigslist.org
Ideally it'd be something I don't need to work on right away, since I don't have the space to work on things right now beyond basic shit.
lol you think?
dallas.craigslist.org
Kinda considering this just cause lolmiata.
Also been wanting to get into autocross/track racing so I figured this is a decent starting point.
Ya I do
Break something and fix it on the weekend so you can drive it to work, at least that's what I had to do.
You'll need a decent metric wrench set, socket wrench set, torque bar, jackstands and a floor jack. Better tools make fixing cars a lot easier.
Thoughts on this? I've been looking at this for the past month or so, guy originally wanted $8k for it so I think the low price is just him having trouble selling it.
chicago.craigslist.org
Definitely interested in a 944 with better horsepower, but it's already a gamble as to whether or not it'll be a moneypit, being a project car is definitely fishy. I'm gonna go try and meet the owner in the next few weeks, will definitely get a prepurchase inspection, anything I should ask, look out for, or be suspicious of?
It's pretty obvious numbnuts that's why I posted it
How hard would it be to do that on the street? Or should I take it to a parking lot somewhere?
And is the harbour freight meme true at all? Should I not buy my tools there?
What about used?
rly XD
Although not craigslist and not American, I guess I should post it here
polovniautomobili.com
>200sx s13

seems too good to be true, it's been up for barely 2 weeks.
How is the 200sx as a DD? What should I check out when (if) I go meet the guy?
If i needed a daily id buy the fuck outta that
>dallas.craigslist.org
buy this instead because it has the 1.8 and it doesnt have a shit paintjob
Not Craigslist. But on cargurus or autotrader is there any way to view newly listed items?
find me something Veeky Forums, preferably under 20k and automatic
The transmissions aren't glass, they have a cooling issue because of an internal screen that obstructs fluid flow over time. Remove the screen, replace the fluid every 30k or so, and it will last a long time.
>Remove screen
>Delete system 32?
>Custom Hotrod Streetrod Ferrari Maserati Corvette S10
One of these things is not like the other
No. There is a mesh screen in the early ones which clogs over time. Two other things you can do is fit an external trans cooler and use a good synthetic fluid.
What price should I expect for a used Ford Crown Victoria?
Don't buy it, OP. Salvage title = nothing but problems, expensive insurance, and 0 resale value unless you can find another sucker to convince that "it's really no big deal." pass
I'm not worried about resale value. I'm not gonna flip it I'm gonna drive it.
And I only pay for liability as it is. However if it does turn out to be significantly more I won't do it.
bump
>wonder how much a cheap 4x4 would be
>see this
seattle.craigslist.org
>That patina is priceless
>salvage
>wont pass smog
yeah go for it
ask for interior and under pics
also it's too good to be true, there must be something wrong with it
i only saw 6.5k uros minimum for a pristine quality s13
for that price i only saw rusted and banged s13
it's either the owner has no idea what he is selling or it's fucked somewhere
jelly if its legit tho, could be a deal of a lifetime
All this is true, but the SVX was the only subaru with the eg33. No out back had the eg33.
T. Ive owned an svx since 2008
Should I get a Ford Mondeo as a first car or should I just get some 10 year old german car like everyone in my country (Albania).
Link related is what Im considering (translate it to english since its albanian)
merrjep.al
If you dont want to read through the link heres the most important stuff
2011 Ford Mondeo Titanium
manual
175k km
1.6 petrol the 160 hp ecoboost one
with full service history only used by 1 owner looks in good shape
he said he could go as low as 6400 euro which i think is pretty good for a 2011 car right?
mondeos are fucking shit, don't get one
they are pigfat and have no power what so ever
dad had one as a company owned car and it sucked dick. It would just refuse to go
>go 50km/h
>3rd gear
>full throttle
>do 60km/h in 10s
really? maybe he had another engine? fuck.
it's 1.6 memeboost powering a full blown heavy sedan.
just get an older beemer
it will be cheaper, more fun and you will most likely find cheap parts and mechanics fixing for cheap if anything goes wrong
Ok so, question from a noob with almost no car sense.
What would likely be wrong with it? I've been looking at several makes of cars and whenever I find one generally cheaper than all the rest, but looks fine to the eye, I know it falls under the category of "too good to be true."
So say I still wanted to go along with it. Is there something commonly wrong that people don't want to fix themselves that isn't catastrophic? I'm looking to get a car and do the work myself for the most part.
say i get an e46 or e90 theyre still almost the same weight ~1500 kg and still the same hp ~160 or so since theyre all 320d versions here
is it really that different
beemers are rwd so you'll enjoy it more by default they have more power. One thing mondeo will have is fuel economy and maybe interior, since it's a new-ish car. I am personally looking to buy e46 for myself, so i might be biased
You didn't read it. In my area cars are exempt from testing if they are 20 years old
yeah thats why i chose the mondeo cause its got a pretty nice interior and looks nice also its newer so it wont be hard finding parts
i was leaning towards 2006 e90 320d but was told they have gimmicky problems and since its bmw its gonna cost more to fix if it does break

>serious inquiries only

Saw a car I wanted, dude wanted double it's value.
I guess no point in contacting him.
Don't see why not
Any Subaru trans will bolt on, I would go with a WRX tranny from 2003 or after. That being said, I know a few guys that come into the store I work at to buy parts for them, and they are expensive as hell, if we even have them. All three guys I know have more than one, and only drive one.
Hows this for a first car

I'll trade the hood for the stock hood.. But I'm keepin that wing
My dude that is a high mileage salvage title m6, it has had the living shit driven out of it, trashed and left at some mechanic. I posted it because the whole "salvage title due to very minor scratches" is complete bs.
Also amg package? There is no such thing, the mechanic selling it is just so retarded he put down whatevet he could to attract people.
You don't want to touch something like that unless you're very experienced. Double vanos, head gasket leaks, smg problems, suspension is probably not in good shape either. That is my favorite car but no way in hell would I consider something like that. Just think of the amount of money you'll spend on repairs vs the cost of a non-fucked one.
What if you find a good ad on CL, go on the spot to check the car out, and 5 dudes beat you up and steal your things?
You can meet in front of a police station, some sellers will only meet there
What if the coppers ruin your deal?
idk bout you but my local PD suggest using to police station for craigslist
Aren't these supposed to be hella rare?

thoughts on rebuilding it from the ground up to be a true dorifto drifter?
oh wait i didnt read the guy needs another 900 for a title
but do i need a title if i plan to exclusively track it?
i found a testarossa with a body kit
sanantonio.craigslist.org
if its only going to be a track car you dont even need paperwork that proves the car exists
just try to keep it in a garage, municipalities like to get butthurt about unregistered vehicles in public view
>cenk calling out all these fallacies even though he wont directly address anything ben is saying
im also noticing a shockingly small use of numbers and statistics in cenks arguments
cenk dont need numbers he has the moral high ground
Going to look at this tomorrow, what do you guys think?
It looks fairly clean (there is a small rust spot on the driver's side behind the rear wheel, but I expect that).
Both of these are the same, one just has a few more pictures

By the battery, that brown spot, does it look like rust?
Where did you get that from? Did you just use the plate number to search, because I don't see a VIN anywhere.

Don't buy Chinese tools, I stay the hell away from Harbor Freight. Even new Craftsman tools are chinese.
Hit up pawn shops, crackheads are always stealing tools to pawn them off for dope money and you can score big, got a full USA Craftsman socket wrench set with 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2" drive for 50 bucks.
