Round 2

[Duck Vader]

Buddy of mine bought a boat with a "bad engine" a few years ago for something like $4k. Put $100 into the engine and got it running and sold it for $8k. Don't remember what was wrong, but it was super simple.

[quote=""DCIV""]My dad bought a Malibu ski boat 12 years ago for 14k. I bet it’s still worth 8k. That’s better than any car you all get. Don’t buy crappy boats and they don’t depreciate like what everyone says.

This, used boats especially hold their values very well mostly because new ski boats are cost prohibitively expensive. My parents old boat has over 2500 hours on it and still they could get close to $9k for it.

Those are tempting, but worried about the reliability of a VW

[Duck Vader]

Get a new one. 6 year bumper to bumper warranty.

Yes! Blue!!!!!

Mk. 7 is waaayyy more reliable than Mk. 6. Plus, the R's are all built in Germany, not Mexico, so the build quality is muy bien!

That's good to know I've always liked the Golf R

Til the newer car is more reliable than the older one.



VW has a track record of being shit after 80k. I won't trust that's changed until they have 2 generations showing a significant improvement

What's that have to do with the statement that a newer car is more reliable than the older one of the same model?

I have 2 broke down cars. 91 vr4 that hasn't had an engine since 08 and 91 Montero I bought with a rod knock that I never got to fixing.

Why are you trying to torture yourself with German cars?

I'm a glutton for punishment, I've owned a Starion, a 3000GT VR-4, and a turbo Subaru....
