It's for my wife, if i were to sell my e30 i would get a mk2 gti or a small truck.

I was just referring to the fact that those things are shitty cars.

ya, but she loves it. and we both hated the 2013. and the mk5s are too damn ugly. so for 3k buy price, we can afford to replace everything on it. and if shes even half as lucky with this one as her mk3 we'll have no real repairs. but only time will tell.

I have a set including TA if you consider. it came decent rotors,pads and UUC brake lines.

[kronus]

I just need the fronts, we bent our lemon's and now have like 5 degrees of camber on the left wheel.

Those VW are soo sad. I thought the 4dr e30 was for your wife? Sac has tons of cheap ass houses to rent, finding a garage shouldn't be that hard.

well, things changed and she wont get behind the wheel of it. plus driving it to and from sac wasnt an option.
even if these VW is bad, 3k is throwaway money for a car so no biggy if it gets junked in 3 years. and parts for the 8v's are stupid cheap for the meantime.

throwaway money.

[Cabriolet]

throwaway money.

we could buy 9 of these for what my e30 cost me. so ya, if it gets hit, breaks or blows up, we'll just get something else. it isn't rare or nice or special, it's just an A to B beater car that is safer than a civic and gets 30mpg. and so far, even the KWs it's getting we are still bellow 1/2 budget for a car for her.

not like any e30 is all that reliable. i just find it funny that people here dis cars, when 1/2 the e30s on this forum dont run, all have broken shit, or are just beat beyond repair.
our mk3 jetta has done 150k miles and cost us all of, 3k in maintenance, including brakes, clutch, tb/wp.
my e30s have cost me >$1/mile to maintain.

also, srsly who calls anyone a baller for a 3k really? my point was it is a throw away car, not a fancy new $40k car that we would care about.

unrelated to FWD mistakes, can someone suggest a good local place to fix curb rash on some wheels?

see if Wheel Techniques down in Santa Clara is still around. a lot of shops just pass work off to that place when you bring them wheels.
