Should I buy this for 2k? The guy said it has a "class 2" oil leak but other than that it runs fine. I really want this car, mainly for nostalgic reasons and how it looks, plus it seems like a decent deal.

Well, you can get the car, but you're not going to be able to dispatch it with a class 2. Look at the TM for information on how to proceed.

parts availability may be tough, possibly causing potential repairs to become more expensive than a simple shitbox would be. even if you have the money to buy the car outright, you would benefit immensely from having a big wrenching budget with this one, and you would always want to still do your research on common issues/defects/maintenances. i think the engine bays get kinda complex/tight, so just be careful and conscientious.

I'm assuming this is not the specific car for 2k, but depending on overall condition and if you cant fix the leak(s) you could probably still part it out if you have the time. I really like those cars too but havent owned one myself.

>hes going to buy a car thats pre-deadlined.
Top's going to have a field day with this.

Play Mode = Hard

Hard mode Bro, not quite Nightmare but close.
Great car, kinda heavy, always wanted one. Active aero. TT and AWD. Now its old with little to no after-market. All the rubber, suspension, vacuum lines, weather stripping, door seals. It's all dry rotted and needs replacing. Timing chains tend to go out around 60 to 80k, need to tilt motor to replace 3 plugs against firewall. It can be done without doing that but, hard mode. It would actually be cheaper and easier to restore an older BMW.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

>>28527857
Erm actually I can afford it.

>>28527727
The model I'm looking at isn't tt nor does it have the active aero accessory bullshit. Also timing belt not chain. Also not hard to get to back spark plugs just have to remove intake manifold which is kinda gay. I just like the way they look, sound and want a manual as my first car was a base model auto

Just get a modest Corolla, pal

>>28527955
>Isn't tt

So it's the fwd slushbox version? What's the point?

>>28527955
If its not TT I don't really see the point unless you just really love the way it looks. And for 2k it sure as fuck wont look like your pic. Here's the typical 2k 3000GT, except this one they want 2600 and it seems to be missing parts. No a/c, leaking oil with bad brakes and stalls. But it looks good...

>>28526781 (OP)
For 2k that thing is going to be such an immense money pit lmao. Enjoy.

No VR4 no care then friend
