wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 This is the car I just picked up for my son. The deal was to good to pass up. Its not either of ours first choice for him, but like I said the deal was the decider. Its super clean with only a few minor imperfections. Came with a huge stack of receipts from MAG from one of the PO who had everything rebuilt. 4 day old battery, almost new tires ect... Oh and thanks Andy for telling me about it. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/wnaplay/MIsc030.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/wnaplay/MIsc028.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/wnaplay/MIsc027.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Why is this not your first choice? Seems like a nice first car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Looks a million times better then my first car. Sounds like a deal i wouldn't have passed up either. Congrats on finding something decent without it being a downer for a 16 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 The 2.8 is one of the most reliable units out there, change the oil & tb and it will go 300k no problem. Control arms, o2 sensors, sai, and such will be your biggest PITA but worth it for what you get in return. That is a PERFECT first car!

wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Why is this not your first choice? Seems like a nice first car. He wanted a mustang. I woud have preferred something I could either fix myself and something the parts arent so expensive for. And we already had 2 white cars(this makes 3), and none of us like white cars. He is frustrated learning to drive a 5sp but hes only tried it for a total of 10mins with his mom in the passenger seat. He refuses to ride with me.

Manual, AWD, Nice shape, comfortable, safe, decent power, basically reliable... All of the things my first car (cars) were not. Congrats. I'm not a parent, but somehow I'm certain he'll thank you for this later when he learns enough to know why. :fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackDaddy43 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 lol 10x nicer than my a4. That was my first car as well. Yours looks just as lifted though haha. :dumb: I'm sure your son will love it, I still miss mine every now and again.:fa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 SO MUCH WIN in this thread I'm amazed that the word Mustang is still coming up. That's the perfect car for him. Quick, but not too fast, AWD, manual, reliable, good looking, clean, damn! Buy the kid some condoms and demand he get laid in it Nice find!

Will lower springs alone take car of this? It already looks like theres a control arm or something practically sitting on the rear tires, that and the black plastic below the bottom of the doors looks hideous against the white.

smokin5s Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 way too nice for a first car.... my parents made me work and buy my first car thus I had a shit box.... wouldn't have traded that experience for the world. I will not be buying my kids cars... they will learn to work and earn them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Glad it worked out Jason, I wanted to buy it myself but we just got my mother-in-law a car and I'm already out of space to put cars so I'm glad I could pass along that deal to you. I'm sure it will be put to good use. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 That does look pretty nice. S4 wheels, sport package, heated seats, 2.8 manual is pretty nice. I'm a little jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not be buying my kids cars... they will learn to work and earn them. I was the same way, I had to buy my own stuff and had a great work ethic. But as I look back on the experience I dont know if it was best. I worked all the time to pay for my car and never really socialized. The few times I did make an attempt to hang out with others, it seemed like I never fit in. To this day you will really never see me coming out to hang as I never developed those social skills. If I can spend a few hundred dollars to help ensure my kids dont suffer the same fate, I am all about it. Life is socially hard for kids these days, I know they have so much but its hard to fit in. My parents werent aware enough of this issue when they moved us from the southend of columbus to pickerington in the middle of HS. We have always tried to be aware of this and address it.

I was given a 6 year old Taurus se when I turned 16. 5k car. It was my dads. I took excellent care of that car. Washed and waxed regularly, maintained it, put a stereo in it, etc. I could not have taken better care of the car, and it was a gift. I took better care of my 3 to 5k cars in highschool than I do my 25 to 35k cars after, which I paid for. It isn't like you can't take the car away or sell it to discourage bad behavior, or improper care of the car... I will be buying my kids a car.

I think you fit in just fine, not sure where that comes from. I feel that way sometimes but as I got older I just decided "fuck it" if people don't like the way I am I'll find some people who do.
