I am sorta thinking about the gt3... but the price can’t crater.
:lolgasm: go :fullretard: brain go
I would probably dump the MINI and old Taco and replace with a GT3. Sounds dope as hell to me, the TSX is a great commuter, Taco can handle some commuting plus trip/adventure duty plus utility... GT3 for fun/date night/whatever.
Wonder if a plebe can actually just walk in and buy one. Or do I have to finesse some saleshole

I was about to be like "if you have the money, they will sell you one" and then thought about it and I'm :notsure: :lolol:

Right ? Could be one of those you have to get a 4 banger macan to be on the list for the gt3 and maybe we will consider you if you’re willing to add 54,999 in market adjustments on top of the macan purchase to really secure your spot

Hence why I don't have a Type R. Paying over MSRP is for suckers. Or maybe refusing to pay over MSRP is for suckers. Either way, I will stay in my lane with shitbox ownershit.

I will say my TSX was quite nice, but keep in mind it's slower than the :turboyaris: The manual would be 5/7 :doe: if you enjoy wringing the shit outta the redline for vtakkk. It's not boaty at all, handling wise, it's in between the mk7 vs mk6, mostly being the body roll and carves it without a problem, but you won't feel it as much. It can be a decent track car with the right mods, but meh if you care to have some power.

The 2nd gen has v6 doe, but probably not :manuel: the 2005-2008 TL s-type does have :manuel: with the NA v6.

The bolded is a legit :notbad: car, I would rock one as a DD. An ex of mine had just a regular auto TL of that gen and it was a very solid car.

Those are unicorn spec and with current pricing probably make a new CTR look cheap.

Pre 85.5 NA cars are super meh to me. For $5k, sure...but this thing will be low teens easy. Not worth it to me.

They drive fantastic, but the engine is underwhelming for sure. Turbros are where it's at with these, and those are now :fullretard:

Watch it guys. He knows what he's got and ain't taking your shit!
For reference Melon and I purchased our 20' dovetail brand spanking new for cheaper than this guy's used price for this rickety piece of trash.

I'm not buying. Just keeping an eye on the market. 500 Abarfs seem to have flown under the radar for years...curious if they caught up.
