How about stick with Jap cars!

GET A CENTURY, OR A CELSIOR.

THOSE CARS ARE f**kING YAKUZA/GANGSTER PIMPING VIP CARS

or get an e46 especially 325i's , good cars but not powerful and you can make them have that VIP look too! just not with purple velvet and rear massage seats etc.

Look at fcruz3rs BMW he sold , his was a good clean example of something looking pimpin.

hahaha

i know most of you guys are hard out jap fans.. but really.. a celsior and a newish clk are pretty different

also there's a longer service interval on the benz's.. you're really only looking at 1 a year, i'm very sure the last couple my dad has had only need servicing every 15-20 thou.. and since you're not flogging the shit out of them like you would a skyline, etc you're not really up for breaking drivetrain parts

downside is that they won't rip a doughie.. ive tried

Hahah. GERMAN HAMMERZEIT cannot proceed.

Their internal computers combust when someone tries to do a doughie. They are so grandma friendly its not funny those cars.

I love the look of CLK's syfon and it will bring out the inner greek .

get the number plates rollnmerc or someshit.

Haha imagine this CLK with a big block chevy in it ripping down the drag strip running 10's LOL

I was thinking of getting the number plates KOMPRESSA

Yeah i guess with a car like this i wouldn't plan on trying to rip a doughie or standstill - or i'd most probably try something

Too old for me - i don't really want anything older than 10years...

[ecentrix]

Buy a v36

Everyone has a spare 90k.

[syfon]

I quite like the V35's. But my max price is $23K

Merc SLK's are rather nice. Tend to see hot and sophisticated women driving them for some reason.

[bubba]

SLK's are definitely hairdressers cars. I think all but the most brand new ones are built on some other cars shitty chassis, can't remember what it was though

They have been used as F1 safety cars.

How many hairdressers you know who drive 'em?

[syfon]

The SLK is the smaller 2-door coupe/hardtop. The CLK is based on the C-Class chassis with the E-Class styling...

[SKYRYAN]

Yo Syphon I'm really happy for you, and imma let you finish... but the skyline is the best vehicle of all time!

OF ALL TIME!

Ryan, i cant agree with you more, but a 34 GTR is on the cards, but not for another few years, so for the time being it's just a cruiser!

[bubba]

I love my daily cruiser

[syfon]

Ok, so basically the CLK listed a few posts above (previous page me thinks) has the following specs/options:

• Supercharged-intercooled 2.3L 4cylinder engine (120km's on this one)
  
• 5-speed automatic transmission
  
• 142kW @ 5300rpm, 280Nm @ 2500rpm
  
• ABS
  
• Air-conditioning
  
• Front & side air-bags for 1st row occupants
  
• Light grey leather interior with woodgrain trim
  
• Electric sunroof
  
• Power everything (seats, windows, steering, etc)
  
• Heated front seats
  
• Independent suspension
  
• And some other things bla bla bla
  

This car is intended to be a cruiser for down south trips etc and will also be a daily driver.

I only plan on some light cosmetic mods - dished rims, lowered a bit, HIDs, aftermarket head/tail lights. Oh, that and a HUGE sound system

I have read about the fuel economy figures and city driving is not too bad, country driving is pretty damn good.

So it has a pretty decent compromise between power & economy, but i will still miss the power of my 25

I have done some more reading and spoken to a few people re this particular make/model and everyone seems to be pretty happy with all aspects of the car.

My old man is a little skeptical of letting me buy a car like this (and i do understand exactly what he is saying/where he is coming from) due to maintenance costs if something goes wrong. I will service the car myself every 5000km's as i know it is quite easy.

I personally think the best thing to do to find any mechanical/electrical faults is to get someone (probably Jason at Diesel Motors) to plug their laptop to see the history of the vehicle's computer etc.

LOL im getting excited haha

[bubba]

If I was you, I'd buy Jippas' stag.. but that's just me

[syfon]

I don't have a family so i dont need a Stag'n Wagn hehe

[bubba]

I don't have a family either but it's immensely practical! and getting chopped by a lunchbox is very demoralising

Comfy as, still got poke (Jippas is as fast as mine) and can fit a heap of crap in the back!

[syfon]

Getting chopped by a RB25 Lunchbox can be quite depressing haha.

These things (CLK) make 148kW so im happy with that, and i have driven one so i know what they go they, not slow but not fast either lol
