Vec GSI is good, but nt auto are they?
M3's for that price all seem to be dogs, hell get one if they price is right, sawe a mint convertible for 12k, but a little out his price range, hes just changin the merc we have now (C240) as we both use it and both hate it. He wants prefferably something german, im trying to make him think outside the box.
Some good suggestions, anyone seen some good examples of these volvos vibs and steve suggested, they fast? He test drove an 850T5 a few years back he liked that a bit.
He drove the corsa and fucking loved it He just was amazed how fast it could go from 70-110
C320, is that old shape? how much do they AMG c-class (old ones) go for? I know theres 2 C36 and C43, one of them is rare as hell i dunno which, but they are probably quite good. couldnt find n e tho
