Then after it hadn’t been bought for a month it got cheaper and the listing started detailing some of the issues. Hard pass. I’ve always been interested in an entry level older BMW. There was another one that was kinda cool looking but I was already in the process of dealing with my Civic getting rear-ended and totaled and replacing it with an HR-V. I also had my eye on an ILX around the same price range. Those were pretty much fancier Civics. I rarely see them and they were discontinued. For some reason my Youtube feed coughs up rando videos on oddball cars. Recently it was a 1971 Pantera being driven and I was smitten. Looks like the sort of car it would be too easy to die in but having too much fun with the demise. F’in beast. I’m happy with the HR-V as a small crossover with a higher stance than my Civic had. Maybe I’ll keep looking at 1-series Bimmers online. They seem expensive to maintain, but cheaper to get into than a Mercedes or Porsche. 911s are a bit steep for me. A tricked out 1-series would be sweet though I’d be better off with some Japanese platform hot rod. I seriously don’t get stance cars with weird camber.
