Got a bit of a paycheck of 20£V, for changing some brakes on his car, as well as the wheels. Also, Thyago, fine I'll say 65£V, since that outbids all that were there when I posted.

JF, Your RP started off well but sadly you have lost the realism IMHO. 'thyago95' is right in what he says... as an example, the link you posted to the Eunos on Ebay that you say you got for 130 GBP, there is no 'Buy it now' option on it and the auction is still running... it's currently at 480 GBP with over a day to run yet so will no doubt fetch more. Bring the realism back please, it made it more interesting (for me at least).

Some people don't even try to be realistic, just let him go. Isn't it enough that he has pretty much no budget? This man tries his best while having no more than 200-300V$.

Fine, if you want it that way, I have no Mark Four, but then I do because paycheck and that then can be added to purchase of Golf. Golf = 165£V now. Happy?

Added 12 minutes later:

With me getting 50£V of the 150£V paycheck. Also I'll try and bring realism back. But the point of going over the current bid, is that in real life, it would never last long. But the fact is, that no one's buying pieces of junk in RPs, it's to be had with a sense of what could of been. Also, what specific rules am I breaking, that infringe as far as breaking them completely?

I'll try to bring things back to realism, but on this budget, I'm doing what I can...
If, it took years to buy a car with that budget in real life, I might as well do it in real life.

Also thanks, Soju. Your S13 looks great by the way.

Also 13B Altezza Update incoming. Also no one can say anything about the Diesel 50£ Golf, it's perfectly realistic for what it is. Or the E46, as it consistently stayed where it was. Or the EK4/9, as it was also consistent. It's just this Golf and the Miata. And even that is only for running errands, going places, and not being completely rubbish.

Also I might buy some parts, as I think for today, having 7 cars is enough. Any recommendations of which car to work on?

Added 5 minutes later:

Okay, by the way, on another note, your S13 looks very good.

Added 2 minutes later:

Also I call them junk, because I've seen people just scrap them before, so I'm particularly referencing their condition and where they should be.

Just had an idea, if I buy a worse Golf Mk?, with no registration, and a future of sitting in a junkyard due to a major accident; I can take the interior and wheels and stuff it in the diesel Mk2.

Corrado?

I think a hurricane, seized, wrecked completely or just junkyard newer Golf, like a MK5,6 and maybe 4 would be cheaper and easier to find.

# Jfernando1 : Golf = 165£V now. Happy?

The Golf you posted about is now at 240 GBP... just under 4 days still to go, it will fetch 500 GBP easily.
Years ago I used to buy 5 or 7 series Beemers from the scrapyard in UK for 100 GBP rather than rent a car for a few weeks whilst visiting, so I know it is possible to grab cheapo cars over there. Before flying home I would run the car back to the yard and get 5 GBP back.
But, a car like this for 165 GBP? No chance dude! you would be lucky to get the alloys off it for that money.

I'm saying in beat up condition. I just couldn't find one, because I looked for specific models.

I mean just a running one with working internals, interior, and a really beat exterior.

Added 1 minute later:

I'm talking about the Golf, when I say beat up. But a Corrado with a chance of working is too good to take rims and an interior from.

Added 12 minutes later:

Got 50£V for some of the parts in my garage. Turns out boxes of old part are worth something, even when completely random.

Anyway, that takes me up to 100£V. I think a breaker category car is in order for parts, like this, *LINK* That might be a good interior and suspension source.

By the way, the dash in the Diesel Golf is cracked into shards, and rotting (I don't know how, but rot, like materials deteriorating). So that's plain unsafe, and out of shape. So there is a reason to buy a whole new interior.

Added 33 minutes later:

Got 150£V from more computer parts (I have many computers, so this still isn't a stretch).

So I bought it, the breaker Golf MK6, for 190£V, including getting it here, thanks to the convenience of towing it on a flatbed, of a friends, behind the E46. 10£V for fuel though.

It may be wrecked, but it's interior isn't, nor most of the suspension. Also it's, in real life, at 125£V right now, as of posting this. So outbid logic, answers the ridiculous price issue.

I think it might be a fake, as in like stuff is worse than seems based of how damage works, and the body of it.

It says that the main damage is unberbody and the secondary is scuffs and such, so the damage might be something "easy" to fix or something like frame damage

Here it is;

Frontal Damage, and I've already sold the rims of it for 300£V (fictional buyer, and 100£V a rim, there being three, and a steel wheel).

So the two in the corner, the two Golfs are going to take part between each other, interior and suspension.

And my trusty BMW E46, will be a workhorse, as it technically holds the most power, and is the only one capable of being a tow vehicle.


So what do you think?

Bad purchase or Good.

E46, I think you mean.

Added 11 seconds later:

But Thanks.

Added 1 hour 26 minutes later:

Please assume abandoned, I may re-use it later though, as if it were going back to the same guy.

(In RP), I've sold my cars to a friend, as...

(External of RP), I'm starting a new RP with Kondzixs, same UK, but together. The friend it's being sold to is my character there. Now realism will apply, with a slightly larger budget, but the same low amount spent. They're coming with me and Kondzixs, so they, as projects, can be finished.
