kind of the same, although my car isn't in that much disrepair. it's a 20 year old Nissan. Only about 130K miles. keeping my eyes peeled for a new ride.

>>18340504
nope. I'll wait another year or two to buy a sedan, they are going to be very very cheap considering they were barely able to give them away to subprime customers a year or two ago. Once those customers are encouraged to trade up they will flood the market and lightly used under 80k mile chevys and toyotas will be available for 5-7k.

M2 Competition or a low mileage F80 M3.

If you want a Dodge, I’ll sell you my Scat Pack Charger. Fast and fun car but the build quality and interiors are fucking shit. Factory Brembo brakes on chargers and challengers are garbage as well.

>>18342034
Perhaps. I got my car second-hand from a family member as he bought a new one from BMW proper that month as well. His purchased was planned for a while though, I'm guessing it was a coincidence.

Fuck if I were shorter I would kill someone for that car but I can't fit in it

New cars and Car leaks happen all the time tho and that was a MAJOR spike for what is relatively steady for the past ten years

i don't own a car because i live in manhattan and don't need one, but when I move to buy my cheap house i'll also buy a cheap reliable used car with cash

M2C looks good. I remember that some people had points of disappointment with it though, I forgot what they were exactly. Anyway definitely a top tier car.

Might be my autism but I need a car I can slam through the gears in. Autos make me fall asleep comparably.

How tall are you? You should try an M3 or an M5 since they depreciate like crazy. They have nice ///M SUVs too.

I’d kill for the M2 CS. I want one even if I have to live in a busted ass single wide o order to afford it lol.

It's a yearly event. Count the spikes and check the timeline.

Serious question to BMW fanboys:
Why would you spend luxury prices on a car that literally every rich shitskin drives? They're more common than fucking Toyotas in affluent areas. Why not get something unique?

>>18342704
Yeah, but I'm too lazy. Plus, I like drifting. Some fatass security guard yelled at me a few days ago because I was drifting in the parking lot at the local college. Kek

Guys, how the fuck do I get the paint off?

>>18343030
I agree with you desu, my car is identical to pic related, not much different to the bmw meme I admit but I’ve seen only one other TTS in my area, it’s quick and sounds pretty nice also. I’m happy with it but sometimes I do wish I’d gone for an older car, I just wanted a modern interior for once and Audi are the best in the business (in my price range).

>>18343030
My dream car is a Lexus LC500. I’ve owned several JDM cars. First car was an S2000. I just like cars. JDM, Euro, American (not many since American interiors are shit).

I love the way BMWs drive. Way better than Audi, but not as good as Porsche, and I’m too poor for the Porsche I want right now. The M2 Comp is in my price range and is 1 of the best cars you can buy at the price point. It’s simply a great fucking car.

>>18340504
Yep, I was looking at a used 2018 AMG listed for 60k AUD a few months ago was only a couple others listed at the time, same car is now listed at 48k and about 20 more have been listed.

I am going to take glee in telling the boomer who ever leveraged his investment properties to hand the keys over and tell him it will be his house next.

That meme facelift

I've always driven old and used cars for extremely cheap. My only car is 20 years old now and I take good care of it. There's nothing at all wrong with it, and it's never left me stranded.

That said I still would like to own a new car in the next two years. I've always wanted a Crosstrek, and with the new engine they're putting in those things it might be enough to finally get me to cough up for a used 2021 model

>>18343030
These zoomer beemer fanboys are all the same. Elliot Rogers syndrome. They drive around in their 6 year-old leased 2 series (with a custom license plate to hide the age) wearing their fake Rolex and fake Oakleys, with their hair transplant and their sleeve tat, looking smugly at the guy in the old Camry who probably has 20x their net worth. They are a generation raised by Facebook, Instagram and Tinder - a generation that values style over substance. Looks are everything to them. this is because they are deeply insecure and anxious. I don't dislike them , I just pity them.

>>18342074
I just don't think this is a good looking car. The front end is a combination of pulse shaped grill, and vertical slats which don't relate to eachother. The bottom air intakes have sharp angles that make it looks like its pinching off polygon buttholes. The top black grill tries to keep it sort of looking like a BMW but its small. The racing spokes aren't anything special. The rear end almost looks like an Audi or a bug. Overall this is a highly faggoty car that looks like it was designed by a committee with no aesthetic skills.

Just watch some detailing videos on YouTube that cover paint removal.

How are you drifting in a FWD Focus? You must be doing some parking lot Autocross and handbrake J-Turns and calling it drifting.

Yeah like older supras are only going up in value is problem is Jamal will steal it

>>18345087
If I had that Anon’s money, I’d buy a R34 Skyline and lock that shit away. Free money. They’re about to be legal in the US so the prices are going to go through the roof. Too bad Anons don’t have any clue about cars being an investment.

But you’re right. Supras, Skylines, even old Silvia’s will get stolen in broad daylight while you’re inside taking a piss. Same goes for shitboxes like old Civics and Integras

>>18345133
>R34 Skyline
I had the GTT coupe so much fun it got stolen but I'd over insured it so no huge loss

90% of new cars are for plebs

>>18343468
I want one too, anon

Whats a good large suv to get? I like suburban/tahoe but figure i can just get the gmc version or some competitor. They're big but for the size the trunk isn't actually that big. I intend to drive into Vermont for ski trips with friends with it.

>>18345456

The new Tahoe's are sexy. Like a working man's Escalade. That's my goal car in 3-4 years, could get it now but I'm trying to invest a lot of money. If things go well I'll pay myself with a sweet ride.

>>18342431
>How tall are you?
6'5." There are a couple of problems being this tall. Its the point where shit becomes difficult. My doorframe is only 6'8", for example.

Also while I would love to drive one I can't afford it. I drive a hand-me-down 2011 335i which I love dearly, but I wouldn't be able to afford much more. I make more than the average college student but the insurance and premium gas is all I can afford, so thank God I don't have a car payment.

>>18343030
>Why would you spend luxury prices on a car that literally every rich shitskin drives?
In all seriousness, I don't really WANT to stand out with a daily driver. I want something that's comfortable, enjoyable, and not so gaudy that everyone is looking at me all the time. I've also already started building a relationship with the BMW dealership in my area, that also happens to own the Porsche dealership next door, which if I ever make it make it is where I'd like to be in the future.

Pic isn't my car but it's the exact same model, spec, color, etc. More than enough for a 21 year old.
>haha your dad bought it lole
I bought it. I got a really, really good deal on it, but I did still buy it.

>>18345203
I'd hope no one on this board is dumb enough to buy a car brand new

Everything about that is fine except the rusty brake line. You'll lose all braking when that goes. Luckily mine finally blew out @ under 5 mph in my neighborhood and I was able to stop with the parking brake.

serious question to people that drive old toyota camrys and lexuses:

Why the fuck would you buy a bland fucking car if you can buy a 3 series bimmer from 2008 for like 3-5k that is luxurious, handles and looks much better than a toyota?

>m-muh reliability! muh price to maintain!

reliability issues are drastically blown out of proportion (aside from some specific models) by normies that have never driven bmws before. bmws parts are almost the same price as these other cars, the only difference is the service that is expensive as fuck. If you don't know how to fix your car yourself you are retarded and should neck yourself anyways,

>>18340504
No, but I'll prob pick up another manual E39 or maybe an E46. Prices on early 2000s BMWs have been rising so maybe this will push them back down into the dirt cheap territory I like them in. 2-3k for a manual German straight 6 with 50/50 weight dist. hahaha, honestly one of the best deals in the market of all my hobbies.
>inb4 unreliable

>>18347753
See, this anon gets it. It's fine, let them drive their appliances.

I bought a 2008 bmw 335i and spend about 5k a year for repairs.. i'm driving a BMW so I don't mind spending the money

>>18347877
so you pay $200+ a month to drive a 12 year old car? fuckin stupid desu

>>18340504
I only buy $8K-$10K cars. They still look nice and one doesn't take a huge depreciation hit / have to constantly fix it.

I also rebuild old muscle cars in Asia.

Currently waiting for Suterusu to 10x so I can buy 6 more.
