OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

[KYGTIGuy]

Oh I'd add a cold air intake right away. Doddering old men without canes better look the fuck out.

If you are considering this for anything other than cars and coffee retrolicious points, every single subsequent generation is vastly superior in powertrain.

Looking for something to hold it's value until the chip shortage sorts itself.

[KYGTIGuy]

Hold it's value and won't drop like a rock once the shortage ends, I should say.

Thoughts? Buying this a bad idea?

$19k for a 30yo Toyota with almost 200k miles?

Toby! Welcome back dude.

Did my fertility test this morning. Results already back. My swimmers are swimming swimmingly. Very surprised to see all my values above average even with all the gear I’m on. I’ll still come off it it and run fertility meds as prescribed by the clinic to help us conceive faster, and use that time to get more healthy.

I could buy a 5 year old Nissan with 120k miles for $19k but it will be worth $37.00 dollars in 2 years.

At least the collector cars will hold their value and I only drive about 5 miles a day.

At least that's my thought process.

And maybe one of these to go with it.

MANY MANY BAD ideas... First of 19k
Second off it is the first gen V6, that 3.0 is a pile of heaping SHIT by toyota standards and it keeps popping head gaskets etc etc etc

I would look for a 3rd gen, many in my area that are MINT are around 8-12k
The 3.4 is a far superior engine with epic toyota reliability and significantly more power
It would also be a solid 7-10 years newer than this overpriced pile

Exactly what I came here for. Thanks

Also, maybe I'm a foregone conclusion, but you lost meat this:


Buddy of mine in high school had a five speed gen two 4R like that in really good shape, it was a dope vehicle at the time and was also like $2500.

I think it's cool, but hardly $19K cool. Gen 3 would be my 4R of choice, or a new Bro.

Congrats!

I need to line up another test. Has Michelle undergone any testing yet? Sounds like it could be something there or you just need to more

If you dive into the depths of recent DFD, you will find that the only vehicle suitable to ride out this storm is an old ass Mercedes Benz E class.

You want a 2014 BMW 328i M Sport pack Estoril Bloo with a few dope mods? 48K miles. $19K and she's yours.

For five miles, might I recommend a bicycle?!

Congrats dude, sounds like you just need to up the pineapple in your diet and according to a 'well conceived' plan. I'm a fan of less meds is more.

Either way, you're in good shape for :cf: , buckle up its a whirlwind!

Nice ride ! I voted with my wallet on this type of thing but about at 1/2 of that age and money and a few more miles

Thanks guys! She’s had some tests done and all looks good for her too, so just a matter of timing now. She’s still stressing because “most couples get pregnant within 3 months “, and we’re going on month four. I’m not worried about it at all, and trying to get that to rub off on her, but just like the .gov, gonna

Yea no such thing... my buddy here decided to fuck 2 chicks... 1 was his fiancé who is no longer fiancé and after month 9 she claims to be pregnant... and the new poon is taking tests now after month 1... God works in mysterious ways. He could be stuck with 2 child support payments.

Yeah I’ve tried explaining that stressing about it happening is a sure fire way to make it not happen, but “I cAN’t NoT StREsS AbOUt It! ZOMG”

I’ll just try to be the positive voice of reason and she can do her thing and I’ll just smile and nod.

Ooof. Reminds me of an old coworker from one of my first jobs.. had two sons that were three months apart. Whoops.

Nah. Your friend just elected to skip the Trojanz.

Other option is to anticipate the market and get this one.

These are quite solid. 4th gens get a bit of hate but IMO they are great suvs. If you can find one with the V8 it will likely be a future classic IMO.

Gonna go look at this tomorrow

Nice. I remember those days. It'll happen soon enough.
