NOR-CAL General Chat.

I already have an E30.



Another E30 is not the answer to the question "hey guys, I want something new and fun with a good warranty, do you have anything to add to this list of shit I'm going to test-drive next week?"

Another e30 is always the answer!

All joking aside, genesis coupe, 2015 wrx/sti, gti (if you're fine with fwd), any turbo mini, fiat Abarth (if you're into it, it's a love-hate type of car), new 3 series, ecoboost mustang (lol?), etc.
there are far too many options, but it's quite rare to find a solid combination of turbo + manual + rwd which is what makes my clock tick. The turbo/manual market seems to be engulfed with hot hatch's lately so personally it would be hard for me personally to decide.

Seriously buy my gti. It has a 7 year warranty through an aftermarket company. It is the DSG however but I actually like the auto box in it. It's probably the best auto I've driven.

Danny, my girlfriend is picking up an mk5 gti this weekend, what year is yours? How did you like it?

[Danny]

It's a 2012 with like 45k on it. Its a fantastic car. maintenance is cheap enough and with the warranty I don't have to worry about anything. I want to get out of the payment however and back into a manual 4x4 for the dog/camping/etc. My gf and I like it so much that we'll be getting her one when she graduates. We'll probably get the same year and everything.

The mk5 will be good for you but the engines are a little less reliable. I would recommend you immediately do a DSG service unless you have paperwork saying it was done. Also if it isn't an 09+ make sure the timing belt has been done.

Thanks for the input! Just curious, what's your price? And color, number of doors, etc.

[Danny]

I'll pm you and edit this post later

It's a 2012 gti. 4 door, red, auto with Bluetooth and iPod hookup. 45kish miles. Transferable warranty up to 117k miles or 6 years. I think I'm going to ask 18.5 for it because it's in good shape and o have service records and the warranty. As it turns out, this was a lot less to type than I thought.

Annnnddd I hate myself right now. If I had not bought the second vert I could have bought that calypsorot coupe on craigslist right now. I did not think one was going to come up for sale so quick.

That's pretty common - buy a thing, a much better thing will immediately come up.

Case in point, I just bought two e30s but now I want this one instead.

[mbonanni]

Yeah, it is so shitty. I was ready to pay asking price but he has someone with a higher offer. Figures.

[Wh33lhop]

wow, that calypso car is sex.

[Danny]

Buy my calypso car.

[kronus]

why don't you come 'round no more, danny? don't you love us?

[Toodaloo]

Agreed, beautiful start to an awesome calypso e30, a manual swap is all it needs, and it's included!

[mbonanni]

Anyone want to buy a 1988 royalblau vert today? :)
