Its a sad moment for me, since as I saw the pictures for the ad, I saw how nice it still is for me. But I have moved on, and my parents have given me a good amount of money to replace it with something really good. Around $11 Grand, I will make a post about it in a couple days, and for now, I hope Oliver gets to a nice new home.

DISCUSSION (59)

That's a good amount of money to replace it. You could get something really good.

Any ideas on a replacement yet?

Late-gen Mk4. Do it.

I have! Theres the possibility of either the Charger/300, a V8 Stick Mustang (Whi are IMPOSSIBLE to find in Mexico), a newer Jetta, Mk5 GTI/GLI (Very Very used.) , or Seat Ibiza (Which I love!) or Leon, and the usual 3 Series and A4s. But, my parents told me I can find soemthing in the city of Monterrey, which opens options IMMENSELY , but they told me not to rush the search and wait for what I really want.

Saddly Miata is not an option at all.

07/14/2014 at 21:11

Oh, oh, oh, a black 300C. Look like a complete badass.

No Miata? GOOD.

Try to get a V8 Mustang, WRX or 3 series, but please DON'T get another VW again unless it's a newer GTI.

Vicente Esteve > jkm7680

Oh I am making a "The Most Important 11 Grand Desicion Ever"

A lot of options, comments galore.

TOO COMPLEX. But today the V8 engine block table was painted. Expect a nice product soon.

Do I need to come down there and fix a truck for you?

So no more "bitch basket" jokes directed towards you? Oh well...what will you replace it with?

Vicente Esteve > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
07/14/2014 at 21:28

Oh it is a fantastic option. I really would like a VR6, but I would only import it from the U.S. And, I would only buy it if it was in EXCELLENT condition. Like, Perfect. And, i dont think that my father would agree on going to Wyoming for a GTI VR6 with 50K Miles to roadtrip all the way to Mexico. Or maybe he will, ill ask him!!

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
07/14/2014 at 21:30

Haha, I REALLY want a stealthy/Policeey/Badass car! I mean, I have had too Fuzzy/Cuddly/Bra with the Cabrio. ;)

A Black 300 is VERY Tempting, even if its an auto.

Here is sketchy probably stolen 2014 Dodge Avenger for only $3,000. no title, and only 29,000 miles http://monterrey.en.craigslist.com.mx/cto/4564050154…

Vicente Esteve > Dsscats
07/14/2014 at 21:33

Haha, I want a RWD V8 Mustang, but currently, on sale in the country there are about 4 I can Afford. All of them riced...

WRX is a nono because It didnt go for sale in Mexico until the newer years, so yeah. Also, not much of a Subbie fan.

A 3 Series is a very viable option. Though there arent any with a stick. Like, NONE.

A VW IS a viable option, though it has to be 2008- Newer.

Vicente Esteve > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic
07/14/2014 at 21:34

YES. I'll provide the Watermelon.

ask yourself what would Ben do? Then buy a cadillac

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 21:36

On top of it being badass, there's actually quite a bit of aftermarket support for them.

The 5.7 will never be as good on gas as the 2.0 in the Cabrio, but the cylinder deactivation system will help a lot.

The transmission is an old Benz unit, so it probably wont be horrible, or even bad.

And, well, who wouldn't want to roll up in this.

Kinja'd!!!

07/14/2014 at 21:37

Amazingly NO Bitch Basket jokes were ever done to me. I mean, I was expecting at least 1!

Oh man I am thinking a lot on what to replace it with. At $11k I have a lot of options, sabdly, the Mexican used car market is scarse and even more in my meagre town.

Mustang, GTI, Seats (Ibiza/Leon), Charger/300. None of which are for sle where I live...

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 21:37

Holy shit watermelon!!!!! *fires up homemade motorcycle brings extra gas and heads for Mexico* But you should look at those c10's clean the carb get a battery change oil you know the simple stuff. Maybe it will work and you will own a truck.

I think the case is closed then. Get to searching!

Does the Mexican government care about stolen american cars that are imported to Mexico?

They have much more things to sort out (That they wont do either.)

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 22:07

Looks decent, I'd try to find one without custom rimz though. Say, like this.

I can tell that you haven't though about this at all lol.

That would be fantastic, IF I WAS IN ST.LOUIS

Vicente Esteve > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
07/14/2014 at 22:23

no!

Kidding, I wont do such a leap of faith.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 22:24

ROAD TRIP TIME.

BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 22:24

What are your options then? I'm a little out of touch with what you'd have available to you down there.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
07/14/2014 at 22:29

sad me, is sad. The biggest extent we are going to get me a car is San Antonio Texas.

I will one day to a big U.S. roadtrip and meet Opponauts.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 22:32

San Antonio? Okay.

Fiat 500? They are built down there.

Vicente Esteve > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
07/14/2014 at 22:34

First off, NO Miatas (Sadly)

I have been thinking of a V8 RWD Manual Mustang, but there are less than 5 in the whole country like that. Oh, and they are riced.

Oddly, I do fancy a Charger/300, though they are the Oposite of a drivers car.

I have the usual VW itches (MK4,5 Golfs and Jettas) as well as the GTI and GLIs thoough they will be used and quite rare.

I also look for things like 3 series BMWs and Audi A4s or even a 5 Series or A6, but they wont be a stick.

There are also Seats like the Ibiza, which I Love! and the Leon, which are basically sportier VWs.

I have quite the options in my budget, but this time, I want to make a damn good choice.

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 22:39

Drive it.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

You're Good Mr. Safarivan. Considered.

Vicente Esteve > Mr. Ontop, No Strokes, No Smokes...Goes Fast.
07/14/2014 at 22:40

Too Expensive. And not enough for sale.

BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 22:49

That is tough. I've always liked the look of the Ibiza though...

Vicente Esteve > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather

The same man who designed the Lamborghini Gallardo did it.

Mind= Blown!

07/14/2014 at 23:14

Oh man, this response is so you. And I like it, though I highly doubt my parents would let me. It is always good to know what I can get in the future though, thanks!

Bandit > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 23:19

I try... Well, there are also a bunch of other classics with modern engines and other stuff... They are practically new cars.

This is the only one locally:

I quite like them. There is one small annoyance. They have the 2.0l engine from the MK4 Jetta. Yes, this sexy body has the heart of a lumberjack with a plumber.

Vicente Esteve > Bandit
07/14/2014 at 23:21

That wouldnt be a bad idea, I also have some of those options here in Mexico. It would be hard trying to convince my father of importing a car.

Bandit > Vicente Esteve
07/14/2014 at 23:28

I can't read Spanish nor do I know the Mexican version of Craigslist so Texas is the best I could do.

07/15/2014 at 00:28

Ahh. The good ole 2.slow. They still run that here in The States in the Jetta S.

Dull disclosure, it's not great. That being said, its still going to have all of the dynamics, and the aftermarket isn't bad for it.

07/15/2014 at 03:26

sad times my man... another VAG product leaving in 2 days...
BUT you should get an MK5 Golf/Jetta with the 2.5 or a GTI/GLI! keep the VW love going!

Vicente Esteve > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
07/15/2014 at 10:29

It is still strong in Mexico. In sales it is.

No, I didnt want to have this engine once again, but only until 2013 did they introduce the Brilliant 1.2 Turbo to the Ibiza. Its too out of budget, but that engine in that car is a masterpiece.

Im still willing to test drive one and see if the all around experience of the Seat is enough to make the enigne bearable

Vicente Esteve > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
07/15/2014 at 10:30

I want to! I really would like that era as it seems the best. Unfortunately , there are very little stick GTIs/GLIs, but I will find it!
