One of my many boring polls on cars I will never get around to buying

In this country, luxury car taxes meant the 97 BMW 540i sold for $150,000. Because they only sold in small numbers, they only bothered bringing in automatics.
The 99 WRX sold for $42,000. With a minor facelift and nicer interior over the earlier model. You could get it with a manual and special editions had stuff I like but noone else seems to, such as dark green exterior with tan leather seats and wood steering wheel and gearknob combination.

Now they both cost around the same money. Which would you prefer?

WRX. I know the 540 would be tempting, but the cost of repair is going to be killer even though its 11 years old. I had pushing around the idea as well to get a 5-series with a manual down here and then I had found out how much service and parts cost on a 7 year old model.

Yeah, I agree with SBF. You'll probably end up dropping a lot more money on the BMW and you can have plenty of fun in the WRX.

fuck bmw in the goat ass.

I like bmws... but mainly the M3

+1 A+++ comment, would read again.

How can you bitches not like bmws at all? They do make some cool cars.

Cool if you can afford to

A: Buy it new with a warranty

or

B: Fix it when it's broken

or

C: Drive it to Ill to get some fake boob poon

they make fantastic cars that, along with audi, run really awesomely for a few weeks.

i'd go for the WRX, but moinly cause of the awd. otherwise it'd be BMW all the way

oh, and a manual is nice, too. . .

The E39 is actually meant to be pretty reliable.

They really aren't THAT unreliable.

that 540i is a fantastic car. but having driven the 6 speed, i'd really only want it that way. plus that wrx is my favorite.

BMW is australian for GARBAGE

I never said I did. I'd love to have a early 2000's 540i with the 6-speed.



Or even a 540 Sport Wagon

maybe the newer ones because of all the crazy crap theyre putting in them now, yeah. but its still really a crime to put bmw on the same reliability level with audi though. anything vag makes anymore is a rolling time bomb.

yeah, ive always been a big fan of that car too. somewhat close to m5 performance for a fraction of the price.

When's the next 5 out? The 7 seems to be overdue...

And what do people think of these stupid paintjobs:





The only car I ever thought it looked cool on was the TVR Tuscan, possibly because it was a factory option and the car was so wild anyway.
But it does make me want to check out that Rex, because anyone who spends that sort of money on paint is unlikely to thrash the car.

Fuck that. Pics in buildings like that are always of cars hot off the boat from Japan that aren't even certified yet.

I wouldn't touch a grey import of a car that was already sold here. The KM's it's shows will mean absolutely nothing so you may as well buy what you know. First gen rex's can be picked up pretty damn cheap these days, assuming you have some money put aside for half a dozen new clutches.

That's a warehouse in Tullamarine. I don't know if they just buy cars from auction, but they're definitely Australian delivered. I've known about that place for a while because they tend to sell a lot of 4WDs, including my favourite, the Grand Cherokee.

i hate those multi-color-angle-gay-homosity paint jobs.

yeah me too.

jeff gordons wife had a chameleon paint job on her dodge minvan for a couple of years, i hated seeing that thing at our local harris teeter. it looks like shit on any car, especially that van.



btw swerve, go with the subaru.

i have no idea what your money means, put it in euros or pounds lol (hell the USD doesnt mean shit either lol)


woeful noob? take that shit off, we have all been posting together, or against eachother for like 8-9yrs now.

WHAT THE FUCK IS A HARRIS TEETER???????/

I'd vote for another MR2 but that option is strangely missing.

Interestingly anything with a vag is also a *walking* time bomb.

Hiyooo! *invisible golf swing*

fuck VAG. <--- open for interpretation
