How much is it worth in pieces?

[Yaj Yak]

The people or the cars?


There are only 5 9-2x's within 250 miles so I guess that one is out of the question

both

Looks nice but I'm not into hatchbacks. Or saabs for that matter, nice cars but just not my taste for a dd.

they are wrx's basicallly...

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Yea it's like a classy Wrx that most people aren't even aware of.


I like the looks of the newer 9-3's also but those are all Saab.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

There's nothing I can think of under $10k that's an auto and not basically a rental car.

Is300?

 

[GTwolf]

Yeah they're nice cars I'm not saying they're not awesome, just not my thing. I don't like wagons/hatchbacks. I wouldn't mind an is300. They interior is extremely toyota, but I'd drive one.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I literally can't think of anything.

Autos suck... but you could get an 04 auto Gto for 10ish. Comfortable and reliable.

Hmmm I didn't think of that. It's a V8, but I guess the gas mileage can't really get much worse than I'm used to already. And I would enjoy the power. Are they pretty reliable long-term? I've always like the new models.

$10k for a neon...? I'd be leary dropping $500 on one.

I owned a 06 with a cam and a 3600 stall and got 26mpg highway. The tune is key. Never once had any issues with driveability. Easy to do bolt ons to, headers ect. I miss mine every day, but I just hate automatic sports cars.

More pah with twice my mpg? Auto? Good looking? I might just have to seriously look into these. I probably wouldn't to much modding to it though, I'd probably just keep it stock through the winter then maybe do some bolt ons in the spring. I don't think I ever want to own a cammed car again unless I can afford to have a second car that's a nice DD.
Do people actually pay ten thousand dollars for srt-4s? If this is true I am at a total loss for words.

 

[Soulonfire11]

the problem with driving a cammed car is you need a higher stall torque converter and a pro tune to get the idle right and for it not to buck.

You might want to get winter tires though.

 

[GTwolf]

Yeah winter tires would be a must. I'm thinking if I end up changing cars, it's either one of these or a TL. The 04-08 body style tl is one of my favorite cars and iirc cranks out like 280 horse stock.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Gto's suck

 

[GTwolf]

Gto's suck

. Why? I think I'm gonna keep my eye out for those TLs. Black/Black with navigation. Problem is going to be finding that in my price range.

 

[Soulonfire11]

Fwd sucks! And i disagree with Hope. Give me a good reason why a gto sucks more then a honda accord aka TL.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I didn't say a TL didn't suck. I said gto's suck. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.

 

[Soulonfire11]

Still waiting for a reason why a gto sucks....

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Heavy
Fat
Slow
Wheel hop
No trunk space
Ugly interior unless it's all black
Parts are going to be hard to get in the future
Stupid wheel bolt pattern

 

[Soulonfire11]

Comfortable
90% had black interior
reliable ls1 with lots of potential
spacious interior
Quick enough for a daily
bmw 5x120 bolt pattern, tons of options for wheels
easier to work on then an fbody

Honestly the only thing is trunk space. And you think a glorified toyota aka is300 is any better?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'd rather walk.

 

[GTwolf]

What's wrong with TLs? Is there something that makes them unreliable cars or bad DDs or was that more personal opinion?

 

[GTwolf]

Also, hitting back on the original question, if I decided to do this, what could I get out of everything? Would I end up with more cash finding an L36 top end and just selling the car whole after the demod? Man I need to make a decision or get this fixed soon, it's freezing balls outside.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I think they're nice cars. Nice inside and fairly roomy. They look nice too.
