This seems like a lot of car with low mileage for $31k. RWD versions of these are quite rare and the turbo 4 in this is supposedly reliable. Quote: |

The 2018 and 2019 are the ones you want with the interior refresh.
That grey one has 12k claim on it. Also, I am poor.

Who cares about the interior refresh. My 2017 mk7 had a perfectly acceptable interior and that black one is cheaper !!!! Just buy that one

WHEN we were poor, we bought and drove around in dirt bag civics and sentras with like 200k on the clock and held together by bondo. The cars had more bondo than fucking metal.
YOU DO YOU TROLLY. YOU DO YOU!!!!

See these oil stains on teh ground!? bitch leaked 2 qt of oil every 3000km. I just added more oil. 
See the back? JB weld baby!!! or else the water will get into the damn lights. 
300,000k's on the clock was still going strong. sold it for 1000 bucks

I found driving rust buckets made me enjoy $5 - 10K cars, then up to $20k and now $30 - 40k lol. When I get drive a new Toyota it's still semi exciting.
Imagine having a M5 in highschool/college and now you gotta daily a 328i or 335i, I'd probably be depressed.

really nothing's perfect. your life, your spouse, your children, your house, nothing in your life is perfect. why should your car be. Figure out what are the most important attributes of what you absolutely want and just go for it.
In trolly's case, i think hes too much of a perfectionist. That dream golf R 4 cheap just aint gonna happen. Good shit you gotta pay for, cheap shit you gotta compromise. If i was him, and i wanted a golf R that badly, id take that 2015 one with no hesitation.

Why do you need new calipers for a brake job? Pretty sure you can get generic rotors for all 4 corners for 700 bucks on Rockauto?

Pretty large, I would not sell it anyways; put too much blood sweat and tears into it.
I think the crux of the problem is this city is getting more and more expensive. Driving a 45k car seems...excessive. To compound this, my folks never had much coin, so it feels opulent.

Bro just get the 33k one. You’re gonna modify it anyways. I think the mk7.5 infotainment can be retrofitted to the mk7 without much work.

For the Quadrifoglio running the carbon ceramic brakes and being done by the dealership using original parts, it can be a $9K job but on a regular Giulia, one can use aftermarket parts. Alfa parts from the dealer are unnecessarily expensive.
