well havent been on in a while. bit of an update.
gave up on an fbody for a while. then started thinking about a newer sti from a dealership. but thats not an option quite yet.
but today, while helping a friend get a pool table from his aunts house with the truck, i see a beautiful stock red z28 sitting in the garage. i tell the guy he has a good lookin car. and he says yeah? its for sale. i ask how much. he told me 7k. my jaw dropped. looked the car over. its an a4. oh well. its in great condition. and has 80k miles.
going to the bank on monday to see if its possible. and if so, i will be buying it. then demodding the truck and selling it.
really hoping this works out!
its on a bit of a time frame too. the people are selling everything becuase they are military, and getting stationed in japan. they need everything one by the end of this month. so i will be finding out about this asap. seems like a great deal.
and one more plus about it, its been driven by a filipino lady since it was new. her man bought it for her. we all know how they drive. nice and slow!

sounds like a pretty good deal, if i were you though i would show up at his house with 6k cash in hand and see if he bites. since hes on a timeframe with the move im almost positive hed take it. if he doesnt bite tell him to think it over and call you if he changes his mind. give it a day or two to sink in and if he doesnt call back then show up the 7k.

that sounds like a good plan. just gotta wait till monday and see if the bank will give me the money.
if not, my other friend is selling a 98 t/a. still haven't looked at it. it has high miles. but he claims its in great condition. so we shall see. i cant stand having this turd of a truck anymore. its great offroad. but i never go wheelin anymore. so its pretty pointless. and its almost time to buy tires. not about to spend almost a grand for that.

I don't have credit really. Recently got my credit started. Just been doing small stuff with it.
But I drove the 98 ta today. And wow. It's a 98. 170k miles. Runs like a top. Pulls like a raped ape. Just has a rip in the leather. Stage 2 Hayes clutch. Kyb struts
High mileage... But it's been very well taken care of. Paint is literally flawless
and for 5k. Which I can do without a loan...

so here's one i've had my eyes on. in my eyes, its the perfect car. i STILL need to see it in person, but if the guy is telling the truth, then this is one fine car... basically it has all the options i want, the color i want, but the price is high. 15k. yeah right. but he said he'd accept reasonable cash offers. so we'll see...

but idk. its daily driven. and gives him not a single problem. a lot of things have been replaced on it. and im sure some new internals might find their way into the motor...
idk its a really nice car. and 5k is very do-able. plus its a buddies brother. he'll let me make payments on it. which rules out the bank, which is a plus.
