Our Cars (dream or actual)
-
Got my wife a loaded unicorn Touareg TDI Highline with only 13500 KM and I got it wrapped with XPEL (much needed when driving mountain passes in British Columbia).
Glad we got this over the Merc GLE.

If you’ve never been to Vancouver it is a hyper-car Mecca.
The Superfast is just back from Gumball…

Needs to be boxier and even uglier IMO.

I agree completely. This is way too soft and round. Look at what Mercedes did with the G-Wagen. They maintained the design and character of the previous generation and did a fantastic job at that. Chris Harris even likes it:

The Germans are masters of incremental changes that honor timeless designs while still changing over time. I think English marques used to do this quite well but have fallen behind in that regard.

This just arrived today:
I've been wanting an old school yet modern work truck and I found this 2017 F250 at a dealer in North Texas. It's got a lot of miles (178k ???) on it but for what I'm using it for, it shouldn't be an issue. Got it for a pretty much sweetheart price but it's undoubtedly a bare bones truck. No power windows, no power door locks, manual everything and vinyl seats but it'll serve it's purpose. I'll be installing a gooseneck hitch this weekend.

YUM. always been a fan of proper american trucks. (none of than ranger/hilux/triton bullshit) this would've cost 100-150k in australia. i'm curious as to how much you got it for?
-
I like trucks too, except the high cost of gas and maintenance [emoji848]

That's what's interesting about the Toyota Tacoma. Not a work truck on the order of the F-250, and Toyota don't even have an answer for the F-150 (the Tundra is not on par), but the maintenance costs aren't much more than a Camry.

Is the BMW series 3 any good or is it considered a lemon? Keep coming across older used models pretty cheap so I’m curious if the prices are simply reflected in the age or if they’re problem cars. I’m talking ones that are 10 yrs or older

I’ve seen 10 yr + models in the $10k-20k range with high mileage

i'd say they're fairly decent. the odd ones above 100k are known to have head gasket and coolant issues. at least with what i experience with an E90 from 2006/7.. can't say much about the F30 though.. it's more or less age i'd say. majority of them are pretty mass sold models with the 35i/40i the rarer ones. if i had to pic, i'd go with their signature straight 6..

I ended up paying $12,900 which I think was more than fair in the end. It appears to be pretty well kept and maintained but it's probably due for some maintenance. I'm going to try to do spark plugs, coil packs and change all fluids soon. The parts are fairly reasonable but from what I've read it can be very time consuming, especially the spark plugs (2 plugs per cylinder!) and coil packs on the 6.2L gassers.
I doubt I'll be putting that many miles on it as it will mostly be towing and other runs within a ~50 mile radius of my house.
