    Was looking at Acura's online, there is a 2007 Acura TL with 82k miles on it, they are asking for 16599 for it but if it is still there in a few weeks when I go down there then I'm going to stand firm at 13k is what I can do for it. idk if that's a good plan or not but I believe the dealership can make it happen if they want to.

    bro i drive a 2000 gs300 w 115k on it. i am probably going to lease something pretty soon for tax reasons. i don't really like to make payments on cars. so i was checking out what it was worth and 6k tops for that car. i would drive it to NYC in a heartbeat. great car no issues. save your money imo.
    these are great cars and awesome freeway flyers. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/4515244981.html

    Get a Bugatti BDK

    In all seriousness, if you're looking simply for gas efficiency get a prius. If youre looking at Acura's id go with TSX instead of the TL. Better gas, smaller I4 engine compared to the v6 TL

    If you want to race nigga go get a subie. 07 WRX

    Not looking for anything in particular tbh.

    I'm looking for a good deal most importantly. I would prefer something more sporty looking but I want a good car that I won't have to worry about maintenance every other month as well.

    Anybody have any suggestions or experiences with cars then let me know please. The more info I have the better.

    Anybody have any tips on purchasing cars as well then let me know. lol

    Used Toyota/Honda/then rest of Japan.
    New Kia/Hyundai/then rest of Korea.
    Lease American, born to be run into ground in 3 years of use.
    Invest in German beaters for cheap and they run forever.
    When you get married buy your wife used Swedish wagon.

    I have 2 Elantras, a 2003 and a 2013. I bought both used with only about 10k miles, and neither have had major issues. I got the last one through Carmax. The 2003 I bought at a dealership.

    I recommend always talking in "out the door" numbers at a dealer. They have no problem adding on a shitload of extra costs. If you get part of it financed and there's a chance you will want to pay it off faster than the minimum payments, make sure there is no prepayment penalty on the loan. With the 2003 I had to make sure that was taken off the loan. The finance guy will insist on adding Gap insurance, I'm not a fan of Gap so I always decline - but look it up so you know what it is.

    There are a lot of good manufacturers, IMO. Unless you like throwing money away and having crazy maintenance costs I'd stay away from anything European... But it doesn't sound like that is on your radar.

    Toyota will give you the best value/low maintenace costs of them all
    I drive a 98 corolla with over 200k miles and have almost no problems
    My friend has a 96? camry and has over 500k miles with no problem. I think pushing 600k miles now

    If you go german your maintenace costs are gonna be ass. My friend with a E46 BMW had to spend $200 just to replace some bullshit ass plastic. $20 for JDM

    Oil changes i typically do myself. Its easier so you dont gotta worry about that. Full synthetic oil/filter and like 30 minutes and you save a good amount of money

    you could get a subaru impreza base model. Very reliable. AWD. The hatchback looks good imo

    Irish a pw is a password.
    You think the game we been playing is an instanced private cell Lloyd?
    It's a local area network actively on ventrilo and teamspeak bypassing the momorpgs traditional or official channels, too much spamming on there.
    Of course old schoolers still irc, but idk how safe irc is now.
    Lots of player playing with us on the line.
    Don't forget this is a PvP game, don't be a noob tobias.
    You gotta get on a good guild or else the level grind is a birch.
    Make sure your guild leader isn't a douche and your guildies semper fiel.
    From my vantage point... never mind irc for now, that's more for solo missions and specialists in the forces of reconnaissance.
    Let's go back to the game instead before we run out of juice. I'm feeling a little parched.
    They always gonna try to squeeze every oz of juice.
    I love juice though.
    Not the Orange per se, it's yellow or ainge.
    But the juice is nectar that is and will always be the most important of all endangered species.
    We need to remember to always save the juice.

    A long time ago I learned that you could bbq chickens purely by exposure.
    It was a simple thing of placing the chicks between planes of glass, at a right angle of course.
    The Sun as you may know is the origin of our minerals.
    After the long process of materialization in the dirty limey mire the suns rays are felt only in trace amounts of our produce.
    That's why sourcing your food is important.
    Broiling in the sun is a good way to get the Ray into the flesh of the bird because the mineralization is locked in directly through a multitude of cooking techniques at once without compromising oxygenation since there is no combustion or fossil burning anywhere around to mess with the chicks chemical balance as it gets transformed from her dino into herr din.
    You know like that pink Floyd cover art.

    Kinda what he said, but put the Honda in front of the Toyota.

    I own an Accord and I've got nothing but good things to say about it. 175K and never had anything more serious than a headlight go out. I change the oil, the battery, and the tires and it just keeps running. Good mileage, quiet, good ride, comfortable...I'd buy another one tomorrow, only I don't need to. Guy at work asked last week if I was thinking about selling it (2005)...I just laughed.

    Used car I would rather Toyota as they are very cheap to get into due to the prevalence and soccer mom styles. Toyota used to be Japan Volvo basically.
    In spirit of being almost as good as a German to distinguish it from most flashy trashy euro machines Volvo competes with.
    If Toyota apes to be a low budget good quality simple design version of Volvo they did that.
    Honda is more bmw samurai speed.
    They don't like to sell their swords that easily.
    Fuss about precision and perfect clean lines, double for the Acura models.
    So prices to buy used are higher because too many owners over value the material things they love and lose perspective.
    And that ruins the car market for all of us.
    So we gotta figure all this out just to hopefully not get screwed.
    Sucks huh, now get in line at the dmv.

    Nissan is a gamble, they go for flashy new it looks but sometimes make some of the most underrated 6 cylinder engines out there.
    But like a French car a used Nissan may look pretty but may age ridiculously.
    Like twin turbo z and twin carb euro.

    Mazda is like Volkswagen in many ways back when the rx7 was like a Porsche designed instant karman gia.
    All things considered I buy low get best bang for buck on most fronts with least negatives with a Toyota.
    I would trade my tundra for the way less expensive Tacoma in your situation.
    If light trucks is your deal. I went for the leather and power like a noob.
    They got Tacomas with decent rear side doors too.
    But if I was gonna get a regular gas fueled car and I had some monies it would also be a Subaru. A nice old subaru shifter with the yah engine.
    But hey, if you want to take the el camino real or be a charro ranchero more power to yah.
    Some of us can only afford to be a shifty brat though.
    Best of all worlds like van Halen would say.
    You seen many shifty brats around?
    Don't you love Subaru. Going up?
    Lol.
    I bet you do too.
    But careful with that zaibotsu Tobias.
    Don't want to end up an old sai bot.
    Follow the noob and end up in boon.
    You know Subaru is a slave to Toyota.
    They make their basic Volvo types and their lexy benzy types.
    But in the middle Subaru is the Szerbian Slaviking of yah ponies.

    LMAO! Football world cup opener. Brazil hosting and in the opening game, 1-1 20 mins to go. Ref gives a penalty for one of the worst dives I've seen to let the host nation win the opening match. Great showcase FIFA, even the NBA is more subtle than you.

    Was home all day with nothing to do and decided to watch the opener.

    Not a soccer fan, but even I thought that was a bullshit call.
