Re: Need A Car!!

Even more of an issue with convertibles. If the frame was tweaked, the windows will never seal and you'll have water leaks every time it rains.

Re: Need A Car!!

Yeah, we need to get rid of it ASAP, so that is the reason for the low price. This house has to get finished and we need a downpayment for the next one too.

A friend of mine did buisness with Bob's Auto Ranch a few years ago, and he regrets it to this day.

Re: Need A Car!!

If it were me, I would get a bug eye WRX. My buddy has one and its been an excellent car, except the second gear is weak as hell. I think they can be had for under 8 grand and if you dont beat on it all the time it should be a good car.

Dark green metallic 4 door. Has new clear headlights on it and 109k miles. The only bad thing is that it was hit previously by the gas filler. It doesn't look like it was hard, but there are a few bubbles in the paint on the edge of the fender. It's a real easy touch up. New serpentine belt and plugs on it too and runs great.

Heated drivers seat, dark grey leather and sunroof.

I'm going to check this WRX out tomarrow, if it doesn't work out I'll come and check out the GTP looks like a good deal. I have to do it tomarrow I'm driving my truck back and forth from plymouth this week. 15 MPG

Re: Need A Car!!

That GTP gets damn good gas mileage, I am not sure how they do it. We have got 32 mpg before on the highway, normal mixed driving is mid to high 20's.
