Wow, ive heard about it before but never got my mind into it. It looks awsome.

I would love an old diesel VW Golf... But this overpriced garbage keeps coming up:

looks like they make a kit for the e55 amg, perhaps they still sell it

Yes... I want one and will own one someday. But it would have been stupid of me to buy, would empty out my investment/savings accounts. Luckily this forum pointed out what was an obvious stupid decision. It was also older then me and would probably cost a fortune to maintain, even with me doing all the work.

maybe a Volvo wagon

you might need to spend a bit more

don't let high mileage scare you off if they have been maintained, they run forever

It's tough to give advice to someone who isn't setting realistic guidelines when asking for advice.

Really? I have worked a decent job at some point in my life and what I consider an investment account is not very big... If you go back to the Bentley conversation, it was worth about $10,000. I could spend more then $1,500 on a car, but I don't see why when I only want/need a car for the weekend...

Thanks, I always forget about Autotrader for bottom of the market. Looks lovely and will check into it. I know Volvo's are reliable. But how are parts availability and cost? Are they easy to work on?
