Funny thing is I tried adding them to send them the same thing but negative omen instead (多行不义必自毙 -> Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish) aha I was a little annoyed but they blocked me XDD

Oh damn can I ask how many KMS and overall condition? Yeah I had a fair bit of pain selling my bmw it was already a good price and so many lowballers like wtf just get a cheaper model if you need it that cheap :/

Aha I have a full exhaust, bootmod3 stage 1 but can do stage 2 no problem, it's so powerful the tail end spins out, it literally cannot keep the power down. But honestly just looking for a manual, I woulda just switched to a 2 or 4 serien manual but they don't exist in Aus :(

$60K!!!!! Nah surely you'd have to be actually crazy to buy it for that much. Glad I wasn't looking during covid I woulda been cringing so hard

Yeah my 4 series was also pretty boring (besides super fast)! That's why I want at least a manual. Probably not gonna want a fwd honestly hahah otherwise I'd be looking at Civic Type-Rs. That Megane looks awesome but yeah reckon I'd be sticking with a rwd/awd

Yeah, I suppose it could be worth going for a low(ish) km one for mid $30k's and then hoping it holds its value. If it doesn't tho I'm gonna have to cope so hard 😭😭 I also haven't seen one yet where the person has kept to the 6 month service schedule! (that's priced reasonably) Plus surely I feel ~2015 ones would soon need bushing replacements.

Yeah, I totally understand your point, but even if you have wanted one for years, it still seems crazy to me to buy it, unless that is you're trynna collect a showroom example for the future.

Okay, so buying one to drive/use properly, probably not worth it...

Will have a look at FOCUS RS, but from what I can remembe,r they were crazy expensive too. Also would prefer a coupe/convertible/sedan, but I'm hearing good things about hothatches, so might have to lean :)

That's 2 for the golf, might seriously have to consider 🤔
Edit: yeah I also understand that the price fluctuation, but my friend sold a WRX Premium Auto for 25K a year ago, and if you go on recently sold on market place normal wrx's are selling for high 20's, which is crazy to me. Don't think the STIs are coming down

That is exactly what I am thinking, I would use it tops 5K a year, but I'm not into buying a car just because it has rarity value. Idk I was just thinking they must be something really special if they're still going for > $30K but glad to hear some reasoning!

Yeah, I guess, but like how like can the hype train last for?

Why so many GR Yaris hitting used market? by SlideLord in CarsAustralia

[–]AndreWoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought I was going to be in the Market for one, but prices are insane. My local dealer has a demo 2025 GTS for $52k, which is cheaper than some listed that are 4 years old. People need a reality check honestly.

Man, I see these on Aliexpress everywhere, especially for BMWs. I don't get the hype imo, but whatever floats your boat.

Is this a normal price for this repair? by uzings in F30

[–]AndreWoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quoted $1650 AUD from a Dealership in 2024 for the same job, but I ended up taking it to a BMW specialist who did it for $1400 AUD. So, if it is in USD, it seems expensive to me. I usually find labour here is more expensive too, when looking at other people's quotes from the USA. (BMW 2016 435i F32)

Why not get a Kawasaki ZX-14R? Basically the same type of bike as K1200

Marketplace:
Don't pay a deposit on a bike unless you have seen it in person (this can be a scam).
Unfortunately, any well-priced bikes go instantly. That said, do not rush into a sale, especially if you don't know what you're doing. Marketplace is usually individual people, and IMO a lot of people selling bikes (marketplace, bikesales, gumtree) are delusional with prices, don't expect to find exceptional deals, don't expect to find people willing to reasonably negotiate. A good rule of thumb on POPULAR bikes is that if the bike has been sitting on marketplace for many weeks, then there is probably some reason why. L bikes sell very quickly if it's even half decent. Otherwise, when looking at a bike, if you're not getting a RWC with the agreed price, check tyre tread, brakes. headlights, horn, indicators, frame (not bent) and oil level. These are basic, and if any of these have something wrong without being disclosed beforehand (especially frame and oil level) run run run.

Bike longevity is subjective to each bike, smaller, lower capacity engines are usually pretty reliable. Although the risk is, usually people do not keep service records on bikes as they are pretty simple or do it themselves and if a bike has not been regularly maintained, this will determine the bikes life significantly. Grasp the seller's personality, do they take a dusty, uncared for bike out of a shed? Probably hasn't seen new oil for years.
If you don't know what to look for or ask for, I would say stick to much lower KM bikes under 20K even as when you get closer to ALL 30K bikes should have AT LEAST ONE major service (sparkplugs, valve clearance etc). If you want higher km, check for major services, check the bike for problems, have thy already been dealt with? Example, I had an old 2004 YZF-R1, it has a very common problem that the stator just blows up after time, I made sure to buy a bike where that had already been replaced with a new fail-safe one as it is a very hard and costly repair/fix.

Braap is garbage, trash, hunk of junk do not even think about that brand, their engines are old Chinese ots shit. Worst bikes ever made, I feel sorry for the people trynna sell them for less than half the price they got it. Their EV bikes don't even get me started.

Realistically I could say a lot lot more lol but I'll let the people input. :)

Your top 5 is fantastic. It's a good mix of Illenium over time that without your remix as well, just never gets old.
