No this isn't Matt Stacks, and some cars do better than other. I'm leaning towards Honda, Acura, or Nissan's as of now. Mainly because they are all good long lasting cars, some with excellent mpg's. I've thought about a 2.0 Jetta because then I can switch all my mods over, well almost, but I just don't know if I want to stick with a VW.

Good point, and I pay for premium now and for what's it been it's not worth it for me. So those cars are out of the question. I guess I'm not really looking for a fast car right now in my life as I am looking for a safe, reliable car that will be cheap to drive and maintain. I want to get a bike really bad and I thought I was at the point where I could justify picking one up and then this happens! lol, oh well, I think I'll be alright. smile.gif Thanks guys, Matt Any more suggestions?

I've already got 3 im's about the motor,lol. I bought the swap and put it in, I don't want to take it back out. smile.gif Body's in great condition, yes red top, completely stock as I got it. stock suspension. LMK Matt

While that'd be sweet, is it really possible to find one for 5 or so thousand? Plus aren't they usually pretty costly to repair? I'm not dismissing the idea, I absolutely love those cars, but I'm just skeptical on the cost of them. Matt

Thanks Republicant, I sure hope so. Zeitgeist57 - I just figured sharp edges equal No-No for the leather. Maxima's huh? Never came to my mind, thanks, I'll be checking those out. Keep the suggestions coming, very much appreciated. Matt

I'm not planning on modding it, I just wanted to know why you recommend that. I am very worried about my future/our future and thinking very seriously about it. I guess I'm not worried I just think a lot and like to plan things out. This is another reason for me to selling my GTI, Its too nice of a car for me right now, the leather will get ripped from the baby seat, and its worth quite a bit that I would like to get money out of it, put most in savings and spend a few grand on a car that's cheap and gets good gas mileage. This VR6 isnt horrible but isnt good either. Either way, thanks for you input. Matt

Why stay away from 4-door compacts if I am looking to modify? They don't weigh anymore...oh, sorry forgot the 35-50lbs but seriously why? Also, why a Regal GS? Volvo's don't interest me or Lexus because of the elevated repair costs. Thanks, Matt Basically I need a four door because my gf is pregnant... smile.gif

Ok, so I'm looking for a 4-door compact car. I am looking to spend around 5 grand for it. I want something that gets good gas mileage, pretty cheap/easy to fix, and reliable. I want looking at 96+ Honda Civic sedans, a Subaru LX AWD sedan, and some Ford's. I don't really care about options on the cars, as long as the car had good AC/heat. 5-spds are a plus, and so are semi-cool looking cars, lol. Most that I want to spend at all is 7,000. Hatchbacks and coupes are also and option but kids aren't easy to get put in those. If you don't mind posting about what all the cars are out there for what I'm looking for and want to spend. Maybe some pros and cons on certain cars. Etc, etc. Thanks Matt

Late night Bump.

Damn, that's so badass, You want to trade for a 98 GTI VR6? Check my post in the corral if so. Matt

Nope it wasn't me....err...it was if I won! lol Porsche 911 huh? schweeeet! Matt

What about this car? I have no clue how fast it is but it sounds like a killer price and I love these cars! http://www.ohiovw.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17425 But I would definitely not blow 35k on a car when your still in college, why do you need that nice of a car? Shit for 20k there are TONS of badass cars out there, why pay more?

Thanks Brian, It's in excellent shape, have all records back to 1999, or about 9k miles. Interior is perfect as with exterior, It needs NOTHING. Price is so cheap to *hopefully* sell fast. I like to move it rather than sit on it. If anyone wants to see it in person, please call me at 614-595-5536. Pics up shortly. Matt

Bump, entertaining offers. Matt [ 16. September 2004, 03:40 AM: Message edited by: 2.8GTI ]

SOLD [ 05. October 2004, 10:29 PM: Message edited by: 2.8GTI ]

lol, thats what I said man, I might be interested in taking trades plus cash for my car, hehe, re-read the last sentence in my post. smile.gif Well since my car is worth my that ANY 96-00 civic, as you said above, how much will you give me along with your car? Mine's loaded, quite a few mods, and low miles. hehe Oh and where you located? I'm up near Smokey Row/Snouffer, that's a nice car, I'd like to check it out sometime if you want to meet up Matt

I'm looking for the cheapest 96+ civic you have, prefer hatchback, base w/ stick is fine. Basically as long as the body is straight I'm fine, email me at Black98Beast@aol.com If you are interested in trading up, I might take trades + cash for my 98 GTI VR6. Thanks Matt

Sorry guys, he (the seller) had a close friend pass away and he's dealing with that, Give him a few days, He does want to sell it, and its not sold yet. Be patient, thanks Matt

Mk3 GTI VR6, throaty V6 sound w/ just a filter, (it sounds badass) and they move pretty good for what they are. Mine put down 164hp, 166tq on the dyno. WHP, stock. Definitely room to mod and they aren't that expensive, There is one in the paper for 5k, black/black leather, 5spd, loaded. I'd sell mine for 9k. Matt

um, what year, model, options, trans, etc etc? Where is the car? Thanks Matt If you could please email me all the specs and pictures at MC9ZX3@aol.com
