lol let me explain, for a cheap track car it's a bit too old as I don't want to spend a lot to fix it when something does go wrong. I wouldn't mind driving it around everyday!

If you're doing a lot of highway driving, I can vouch for comfy Swedish seats.

Nice clean S40 T5, the V50 T5 is also a nice option if there are any on sale. Guy is obviously an enthusiast ... going to V70R! They say that the turbo on this is a bit laggy and feels a bit sluggish but maybe there are ways you can open it up a bit to get a quicker spool? Well maintained and tastefully modded, a tad on the high side in terms of $$.

Here is a newer S40 T5 for less, $6200 - https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rch...505156022.html

I saw the Golf, but the paint looked pretty beat up compared to the Jetta (assuming the photos are all recent). Plus, even with higher km the Jetta is supposedly "100% dealer serviced" with maintenance records which is a plus.

I like that A3, as long as he doesn't get caught up in an accident on the highway, otherwise it'll be a nice leg workout. :lawl:

Perhaps the blurriness could just be attributed to the fact that they also don't know the difference between brakes and breaks.

Front end also looks quite beat up, the headlights are faded, the plates look kinda like the old old BC plates, the font looked a little different back then.

Also for the masochistic Audi wagon lovers

How are these lolvos both are autos though.... Money pits like euros of those years?

trollface 07-26-2022 03:35 PM

The center console on those Volvos are hilariously bad.

From the posting:
Work that needs to be done:
- steering rack leaking and needs to be replaced+tie rods
- power steering pump needs to be replaced
- ABS+Speed Sensor control module needs to be replaced

I suspect this is just the beginning of the list haha

Not necessarily a good buy but by chance does anyone on here know this car/owner?

That first pic looks like it was once sold by Splendid Auto.

Hey RS, Help me find my next snow day car! Since I gave the Eight Hundred Dollar Baller X5 to my son last winter. I need to find a snow car, I’ll drive my Mustang GT on winter tires pretty much every day of the winter except the days when the snow is too deep to get the RWD Mustang out of my driveway (it’s a long driveway and I have to be at work way early on snow days)

Budget under $8K-$10K, AWD/4WD, don’t care if it’s auto or manual, I’d prefer a manual obv. but beggars can’t be choosers. My penchant for unreliable euro trash is well documented in this thread but hey, I could be convinced to stray for the right car. I’ve been all over CL and FB marketplace for the past few weeks and just haven’t found anything worth jumping on. If only there was someone who wanted to sell on a high mileage A4 wagon they’d just picked up….

whitev70r 07-30-2022 09:02 PM

My Euro Trash submission :lol ... with some coins to spare based on your budget, fun lil winter ride.

2009 A3 Quattro, 145K kms, PG Performance Stg 1 tuned @ 245 hp & DSG tune, snow and summer tires, $7500

Just a better looking mk5 gti. Mine was great, I’d love the Audi version as a beater.

A GTI with quattro/awd ... really the best of all features. A mini version of a Golf R with 245hp ... and at that price!

trollface 07-31-2022 07:23 AM

Buddy had one one of those. Endless electronics issues. ENDLESS

I didn't notice it was the Quattro. 2.0T was fwd only and v6 was Quattro right? Maybe it was that manual only was fwd. I cant remember.

snowfarmer 07-31-2022 09:28 AM

I contacted the guy, The A3 has already sold.

Tempted to offer my STi hatch, but then I’d need to replace it with something.
