That is not a reliable first project my guy.. you’ll be in debt with maintenance, even with a part time job.

#

okay what would you recommend? something cheap possibly under 1000£

idle ferry Oct 24, 2022, 12:06 AM

#

It’s nothing pretty but definitely recommend a Camry, or a civic.

#

Cheap and reliable 4 cylinders that you can squeeze a little power from if you chose to.

#

#

#

Mercedes and BMW are very similar, in fact they’re a manufacturer group.

#

Same deal with reliability

#

1999, the old ones.

#

#

#

some weird car tbf

#

kinda pointless for that air filter wouldn’t it be?

#

Yes and no, it’s hard to tell how effective it would be. Otherwise he’s only gained engine noise and a couple hp.

worthy spruce Oct 24, 2022, 12:31 AM

#

doubt he benefited from it a lot

#

not sure what’s up with the market on cars i either find cars that are really good but are only being used for parts

idle ferry Oct 24, 2022, 12:32 AM

#

I see that a lot as well, it’s kinda sad to see.
