Get farked... I've spent more than enough money on this heap of shit.

 

Next mod is a new car.

Been hearing that since 2014

I've been having a little look online at fun cars, as the main dirt road that leads to my house has just been sealed meaning I only have to make it 500m up my steep dirt driveway into the safety of the shed.....

Anyway I am seeing a few prices dropping so if you are gonna sell this thing, make it soon while you cn still command a premium. 

Even Himmy was selling a modded 08 R35 for 85k or less. 

Yeah, I think no one in their right mind would give me $55~$60k for my car, although it would cost much more to replicate (once you factor in all the tuning hours put into it with multiple tables, scaling, etc.).

At present I'm looking at these options

  • 2019+ Skoda Octavia 162TSI 
  • 2019+ Skoda Superb 162TSI
  • 2019+ VW Passat 140TSI
  • 2019+ VW Golf R Wagon

In no particular order, just needs AEB, Lane Assist, Adaptive cruise and needs to be sub $30k & 70k kms.

Oh I didn't know more were coming, congrats my dude :D

As for the 33, you might not get 55-60k for it, sure, but would you get 40? Would that allow you to get a nice BMW? Dunno, but prices are moving and I'm seeing track/drift cars with built engines etc for back down around 20k rather than 40.



 

dont count out a newish turbo subaru forester.
I think its almost the perfect family/fun/space/luxury options car
do a few mods and they as quick as.
Only reason i got rid of mine was it couldnt tow the skyline lol

Buy a turbo Subaru to if you wanna support the only manufacturer that keeps short blocks in ready supply because they eat head gaskets and are shitful to work on. Legit, you can call up a dealer and get a new short block for 3-4k within the week because they're a stocked part... 

10 thumbs down.

ok :) each to their own I guess
Im only talking from experience of the 3 i have had all with no problems at all.
The 3 longest held cars ive owned out of about 27, each 3+ years each.
and one of the cheapest cars to insure, even with a shitty driving record haha

Always good and bad examples of every car, I'm fairly biased against Subaru's BUT that is anecdotal from all the stuffed ones you see on market place with blown boxes/diffs/and of course headgakets. 

Plenty of stuffed euros too and we all know how SR's/RBs love to munch a few bearings or how Nissan CVTs are absolute shite. 

Was gonna say this is a bit off topic but then I remember what thread we were in :D

@ActionDan thanks bro!

Yeah might as well just keep it in the garage, cbf dealing with 20 year old kids that want to offer $20k for it.

 

@Jasoncauser the Subarus might tick a few boxes, but the CVT box is just woeful. I cannot stand it, also they have fk all sound deadening too. I might end up with a 2nd Tiguan, who knows LOL.

I do want a station wagon though, can jam in a pram, esky and other shit for mini trips. The Tiguan, although "appears" big actually has a very short boot which doesn't allow for much.

Sounds like you want a Fuga Hybrid. Ticks all those boxes and has no vag

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
