Might as well put a new clutch in it while at it. Plenty of driving left for that car.
Nice price. Rare Color.

Guys, a Fit should have the same quality of sound deadening as a Rolls Royce.

HEY NAO! be nice GAIS!
He's still reeling from the accident. To this day, he asks for a fork at Chinese restaurants because he doesn't want to strain his hand tendon.
As for how badly he drove..... he does have the dash cam but he refuses to show me so I guess.. uhhhh Quote:

| the start is basically the straightaway that runs parallel to the river on the kart track
to stop people from getting going too fast the club sets of a slalom
your buddy got to about the 3rd cone on cold (and old?) tires and lifted. I'm not even sure if it wasn't his first lap. it was early anyways. cold and rainy too.
he never really came back to the pits and we were kept away from the accident. He waved that he was OK. The car sure wasn't. Looks soft, but the old stumps that kept him out of the drink stove in the whole side of the car.
Combo of talent and conditions I would say. It's easy to see the red mist - but that little track is fucking shitty. I haven't been back since and I don't think I will.

Also, driver error - even with traction control you still have to know the car's limits because you can't cheat physics in the end.

I haven't been back since and I don't think I will. | I've been once on a Miata event last last year. A guy I just met let me rag on his Miata which was super nice of him. We both almost put it into the same light pole on the same turn as the combination of the setup and ground transition put the car into a drift during the slalom.
I haven't gone since and don't plan on going again because my F80 really is a tad too big for that track, and driving 90mins there and 90mins back for 6 minutes of seat time, and wasting a whole day really isn't my idea of great ROI.
It was supposed to be at ADESA this year until the surplus EVs took over. ADESA I would go because it's a 10-15min drive depending on traffic.
Anyways, back on topic https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...36326681515557
Is this a good deal? Looks like a well sorted cruiser. Don't try to track these 135i though, they will just heatsoak and cook everything and you'll be swapping parts and consumables all the time.

Thought people will just say get the 128i all day long unless you are mechanically inclined?
I actually dunno what I am talking about. The closest I been to a BMW is my bro-in-law 435i gran coupe looooool and before that his X3 hahaha

i'd rather have the sorted 128i that was posted on the previous page for a daily cruiser.
i'd rather have this 135i if I wanted a baby bahnstormer https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...7922196787977/
all the right mods + N55 for 50k less than a 1M

The N55 is supposed to be more reliable than the N54 but that's a pretty low bar. Just how reliable overall is the N55 with the more simplified design?

N54 might actually be more reliable since you're just replacing everything attached to the engine.

Where do you even buy parts for that, similar to Alfa level? At least Alfa still exists.

I mean his hand did require some 2x surgeries so I shouldn’t laugh at him. I thought that safety glass would be safe. How the hell did it sever a tendon in his hand?!?
Anyways I bet he’s having a hard time jerking off now

Unless you plan on flying there to pick up the car, and and treat the return drive as your cross Canada adventure though, personally, I generally don't think the hassle and extra transportation costs are enough to justify the slightly lower purchase price, at least, not in the Cayman price ranges that I was looking at.

Don't quote me but I think shipping across the country is about $2k? So you'll have to factor that in. Tofu may know better since he's much more versed in dealing with stuff like this.

Closed carrier professional truck transport is around $3K door to door, give or take a few hundred.

You have to really do your due diligence or just truly trust the process and integrity of the seller.  Some good cars can be had at reputable dealers like Porsche Lauzon. The Rennsport Region PCA guys are loaded so they go through cars like crazy or get themselves in situations where they can't enjoy the car due to noise limits (looking at you, Le Circuit Mont Tremblant!)
