always 2-3 of those N63 cars in the shop with subframe dropped along with the long block.
if I ever do sell any one of those, I always tell my customers buy a damn warranty, if not, just don't touch one at all and stick with a N55 powered car. Quote:

Its not just BMW though, it goes for quite a few brands nowadays. Cars aren't built to last anymore as people switch cars every few years. Manufactures figure they'd make more money by switching their customers every few years instead of building an honest and reliable machine.

It's always replace instead of repair.

But if it were my son I'd be really mad lol

Definitely a Honda family judging by the background cars in some of the photos. I know it's 27 years old but that seems like a good deal for a Honda with that low of km.

it's too close to 2010 prices, i don't think it's a good buy

LS2 versions came out in 06 | I was under the impression all the first gen cts v had garbage diffs. They have upgraded half shafts and cradles available, and if you don't launch the car much it will probably last.
