What Should I Get, 1g Or A 2g Dsm?

[BuildADSM]

I would rather have a 2G but that is just me. I love they way they look esp 97-99. Also for people are age 1G will be alot cheaper on insurance so that would be a reason why I would considering getting one but only as a second car.

$5k 2G AWD = broken in a month

Ghettostyle bought his 95 tsi awd for $2600. The person thought the car was really f-ed up. It wasn't as bad as he thought. Not a problem since buying it in November. You just have to check it over well. I wouldn't try to find a 2g AWD on a $5000 budget though. A good condition one costs ~$6000.

BTW, CW=crankwalk=new engine needed

Do you have any parameters for what you're looking for besides only wanting to spend 5K?

[Blk96Eclipse]

if spending 5k I'd go with a 1G since you can get a pretty good one. It you get a 2G for 5K it will have a lot of miles, might be more beat up then a 1G for around 5K

Yea and then you have to find one that isnt sold thats fits your critique. Past few weeks have been hell! "sold" "its pending sale" etc. God I cant get a break!

[SquackDiddy]

yeah thats one reason why i dont want to get a 2g, CW.
the parameters are, one that can go at least 2000 miles after buying it, not that much rust, and a manual.
my goal is to hit 11.9 on the 1/4, and 400hp or what ever hp is needed to hit 11.

Not worth spending $5000 on a shell for a 2g. Stock bottom end will break around 400hp or a 11 sec 1/4.

i think im going toward performance over looks. so the 1g motor is indeed better. yeah i think im going towards a 1g.

[npaulseth]

start with getting into the 13's, then 12's, then 11's. 1G is a better option for you me thinks.
