>cheap car for a student

Thanks, but maybe I should've specified a price? Under 4-5k

orlando.craigslist.org/cto/d/audi-a6-quattro/6447199044.html

>$900

Hmmm...

No mention of engine mods and no rimz or stance, but even in such clean condition $2500 seems steep.

If you're looking at one it's always a good idea to pull the back seat and check the strut mounts. My '96 from Iowa is still kinda solid, but that's what will take it out. I paid $400 for it 7 years ago so it doesn't owe me anything.

Not Craigslist, but close enough.

Is this thing a lost cause? I really want a turbo mk3 but i dont want to have to buy an r154 for a non turbo one

Which of you guys is this?!

I sympathise with the doggo, that was a nice Jeep.

Same boat here :/

Holy fuck it's such a sexy car.

On a more serious note. I'm not a huge fan of Fords but i feel like this little guy would last a year or two with little to no issues. Would really rather something with a v6 though..

S430 mercedes for under 4 grand, '04, its a sedan but its rwd with a decent 8-banger.

Talk him down to 3500 if the odometer is past 100k, 3250 if the odometer is past 150k

Hi everyone! I'm looking to get a Suzuki samurai. Not as a DD but bbq for going 4 wheeling and occasionally go to work in a snow storm.

denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/90-suzuki-samuray/6457108450.html

I was looking at this one but I'm a bit worried because it's rebuilt from salvage. What do you guys think?

If it's got valid plates and tags then it's been issued a "rebuilt from salvage" title which means that the state of Colorado thinks it's roadworthy, but I don't personally know how thorough the Colorado inspections are.
What I would do is ask to see all the paperwork and find out why it was written off and who rebuilt it.
If it was written off from a major collision and/or it wasn't rebuilt by a professional shop I would pass on it.

Been looking at sub-3k Volvos lately, what would you guys recommend?

It's between 3 wagons: a V70, an V40, and an XC70.

Bonus: 2003 Saab 9-5 Wagon with manual transmission.

All of these are less than $2,400.

Test drive all of them and buy the one you like/that's in the best shape.

I found an early 2000s wrangler for $2k, it runs and looks clean, most similar wranglers I see are $8k, this has to be a scam of some sort right?

Most definitely, I assume it's manual too?

If so, 100% red flag.

Automatic. It's also 48k miles which is unbelievable.

If it's a stupidly low price, only one picture and a no details other than "drives great!" or "like new!" it's a scam ad.

I wouldn’t go for it.

>Only one low resolution photo

Yup, scam.

Have you driven it yet?

Get this instead.

Not on Craigslist but how dumb would I be to buy a very clean 2001 Audi with 100k miles for 6000? It's V6 and manual.
Not pic related, but it looks exactly like it

Thoughts? Will be buying this car through an uncle and shipping it in a month, worth it?

losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/2005-lincoln-ls-v6-1-owner/6446248592.html

At 100k, it should be at most 4000.

Anything else is overpaying.

So how well have first gen insights held up? For a cheap commuter car it doesn't look bad, and it's not like I'm expecting any sort of speed from it either

A blast with stick shift.

Did you know it shares it's cockpit with the S2000? Food for thought.

Never would have expected that
I'm just looking for a smaller car thats good on gas, an crx's have weirdly high resale in comparison still, I'll keep my eye out for one

atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/d/1991-bmw-e30-318is/6472489316.html
What price should I offer and should I buy it as a first car. No "durr 4cyl faggot" posts. M42>M20.

$3,500 and yes, it would be a good learning curve if you decide to wrench on it yourself.

I was thinking $5k, that seems unreasonable, no? These cars are appreciating like crazy

Not really, 5k is what it should go for max.

That's nice, I'm jealous. Try to talk him down maybe with the odo being 150k. Not sure I'm not good at that.

Bump for this, wanna know how reliable these are.

200sx for sale need thoughts. says original 13000 miles only

elpaso.craigslist.org/cto/d/13k-original-miles-1995/6454501691.html

13k miles huh? These are nice cars you really want the 200sx se-r with original manual transmission. That low mileage is fishy to me there are scumbags out there

It is an se-r. Fff very nice

I mean I guess. rmn.craigslist.org/cto/d/2004-chevy-silverado-1500/6473993931.html

Shame it's an auto.

I'd get it regardless desu, 13k miles is great**.

**if not tampered with

Coworker is selling a 2006 E320 for 10k with 74k miles. You guys think it's worth it if everything checks out?

Service records are everything, ask him for the VIN too.

Also talk it down to 6k.

9500 is the lowest he'll go

seems like a good deal too me

should i, Veeky Forums?

this is ridiculous. Probly too good to be true but talk to them and see what comes of it. Bail at the sign of BS.

Which engine do you guys think this is for, the 4 banger or the 5.0?

>needs motor
Are you able to do an engine swap for your first car?

I have the money, but I haven't ever worked on a car before. Is it worth the hassle?

Will it be an LS? If yes, go for it. If not, don't bother.

It is doable but it still is a big hassle that will take time, and you're going to have a tough time getting an engine to your house to begin with without a running car.

I think it's worth doing as a project since the rest of the car is good condition but you should probably get a running beater to actually drive with in the meantime

Dont listen to this meme, if you want to get a better motor get a 2ZZ, it's a celica motor that will be a lot easier to drop in

>I haven't worked on a car before
No

Dont listen to this meme either, just fix the stock engine. Maybe all you need to replace is the rod bearings by removing the oil pan. Maybe you need a complete bottom end rebuild. Who knows. Could be a good learning project. But still

Never buy this, or any A4/A6 of that vintage. Just really, never do that

In fact, never buy an Audi again!

Finding one of these with a manual is not very easy, so calling it a dealbreaker is dumb. You will find more E34 535s with manual and the same undedable engine.

I'm guessing they're even harder to come by in NA, pretty bad in Europe at least.

Srsly though, unless you got a big hard-on for E32s i suggest you get a E38 and a multimeter

I don't understand how someone could've abused a car this badly. The interior is 100% fucked, using it for "parts" must be the meme of the century. I mean it does look good for rust but that probably adds about $0 in value in Texas.

Very cool to see a '91 without the passenger airbag in the dash though, plus huge bonus with the manual. The gearbox, slave cylinder, pedal set etc is well worth the $400 alone

wew

hmmm

Thanks guys, I guess I'll get it.

so cool...
