Buying a 10+ year old car what could go wrong?

A manual Targa GTS 4 (they are all 4s) would be my daily 991.

Agreed.

I thought I saw somekind of electric top for the targa? Seems like a waste of weight.

[Bobby Stainless]

Targa is a topless car for colder climates, hence the all wheel drive. Weight is more a GT3/RS thing.

Very cool. I saw a nice 86ish targa the other day. Id buy 10 if i could.

Just drove the other S5. Much nicer car... had obviously had an easier life. Still didn't buy it. The car is just too oddly impractical. It's not that fast, it's heavy, it doesn't handle especially well, the interior is tiny, and the exterior is huge. The Golf R is like the opposite... Fast (ish), handles great, and so functional. And the APR stage 2 kit will run me a grand and get into actually fast territory.. As in 390bhp/420fp, 0-60 in 3.5s territory. Certainly, the S5 is a better looking car... But I can't see it from the inside.

Anyway... Golf R it is. For a while anyway...

I also decided against the s5. For many similar reasons..and didn't need the extra 2 seats.

I wish I didn't need the seats, or the AWD...

While I wouldn't buy an S5, I'm thinking maybe my wife needs a manual conversion Audi RS6 ...



Golf looks sick with the rack on it... will get some pics tomorrow.

Back on the subject of 10+ yo cars, I've been rolling this way for about a week. I should have the replacement part at end of this week.

I'm glad the failure occurred walking distance from home. This is the first thing to break for us since we bought it last year (99 model yr). Though there is something funky starting to happen with the electronic door locks.

The thing also got a new (for us) red hat yesterday

Speaking of RS6's, this model is about 10 years old now and I would love to own this car

If you can find one in the states I might know of an internet forum full of buyers.

Adorable. Cat teets and all. Funny guy!

No way to be sure... I can't see the top of his girlfriend's head in that pic.

Saw a guy with a Maserati w/ NY plates at Zoey's Deli in Manchester VT dusting his car off with one of these...

Should have shoved it up his asshole

Man oh man. Actually I've been asked to Christian the car by the girl I'm seeing.. Doing it that way is way more appealing then the alternatives. Hmm *think*

I see they slapped police lights on that Volvo wagon meme. Way edgier.

[stfu&gbtw]

Ha ha... hadn't even noticed that. That must be from UAE, in the pre-bugatti era.

I think I picked the wrong car... the STi fanbois won't go near it, no matter how many go-fast stickers and fins they have glued to their cars... I'm going to have write up a sign saying I promise to start in 4th gear or something...
