wwwooorrddd… its all about getting the MPG as well y0
Lower end MBenzs are pretty shitty in terms of reliability… I wouldn’t touch a used one with a 10 foot poll
Dos theres tons of people running Turbo’d IS300’s with no problems. You’ve made it this far and you’re going to give up? Weak Sauce but hey its your decision. I vote do-over on the IS.
$35k car and living at home :smash2:
hey if your only 20 years old, I say why the fuck not lol. Dos, hopefully you don’t decide you need to turbo anything again.(blowers are more reliable anyway 
)
Seriously…take a break from it for a while and go for it again when you’re in your right mind:wiggle:
yea i was jinxed.
If I had my way, I’d do one of these in either black or white…
on a set of these…
with the most pounding system ever.
Hey look, I found a white one with chrome monoblocs
So baller, so diesel.
There really aren’t many manual transmission benzos available to us. I have driven a lot mercedes benzs, they seem to feel right with an auto. They are crusiers, not backroad storming machines. I’ll probably have one when I am 60.
This is more in your price range:

Great cars. I drove one last time I was in Florida. Super powerful for a diesel. It just didn’t have the charm of an older Benz.
Regardless of age, if I had money for that kind of car payment while living at home, then I would rather be out in my own apartment or saving/looking at houses. Personally I wouldnt want to be rockin a e46 m3 and be at home, but then decide to move out in a few years and find that I need to sell the m3 and get a 94 mazda :gotme:
Anyone who is spending $300+ a month on a car payment and living at home is a fucking tool*
*Who doesn’t live in NYC area
what about 178 on car and 500 for my half of mortgage…:)…Dos do what i said in the PM i sent u
FYI, 3 series have nice bolt on superchargers with zero hassel. no engine pulling required. 
keep the IS
buy a DD
finalize IS
:gotme: profit?
I resent that. 
Whatever car your fickle mind ends up with, make sure it is reliable, and not something that you can’t afford.
edited just for you
600K shitty houses > my salary.
Anyway - I think you should get an MR2 Dos. lol
is this the second car your giving up on cause its too hard for you? you should just finish fixing the IS and be done, because once its right you will WANT to keep it. not to mention if you sell it and see someone else rolling around in it boostin all over
