Man pretty sure we're the damn person lol. Always looking for that next car...so true 😂. Im going to look at a low mielage '05 XRS Corolla 🤣 Funny you should mention the EP3. I've owned one for a short while now...'02 EP3. Coming from an EM1 i like it better...it feels like more of a driver's car with a noticeably stiffer chassis to boot! I miss the B16A2 engine but the EP3 feels like a torque monster in comparison lol. I also autocross and it was impressive with 200tw tires and only Tein basis coilovers thst came on it. Got into an accdient in the EP3, minor cosmetics but still facing a write-off unfortunately. The XRS with the 4 doors is such a sleeper plus I've got 2 young kids so the EP3 isn't a winner with the wife lol. Other than the premium fuel and likely softer suspension I can't think of any other car similar in performance 😂 that's N/A that could be as fun or reliable ( other than my EP3 😉) as the XRS so I'll likely end up with it...one because it's kind of a unicorn...and it's so under the radar. I'm such a target in that EP3...but I love it! Anyways I like your content and good luck with the search. Definitely post up what you decide!!!
@@ZachD Thanks man. Search is over...found a low mileage unmolested Corolla XRS in silver with 136k Kilometres ( 82,000 miles) in Silver....drove it home no one even batted an eye at my ride....so under the radar 🤣
@@ZachD Yeah hard to believe the condition. I think soon enough I'll post an intro on RUclips maybe...although I may not do too much with it until after winter lol. What's crazy is that there's a black '05 XRS on the market here in Vancouver BC still that only has 88,000km...which is stupid low! Asking 14,000 CAD though.
@@ericlindsey1708 dang - would love a black one but that’s too steep. I subbed so I look forward to following your stuff. I’ll have a driving vid posted within a week. It’s done I just have to upload. For your car I’d recommend the moroso pan or the modified 1zz pan. I have the moroso but it’s probably overkill. Your silver one might look real good on some black wheels…
Reading the description, saw you said Cobalt SS - 6spd manual, they’re 5spd’s from the factory and from what I gather putting a 6spd into the things is far from cheap. Got a friend who has one, LNF blew so he put a LDK in it and has a 60mm turbo, shit’s insane man
Question. Did your significant other from the time you were searching for vehicles have issues with you spending so much time looking for vehicles? My girlfriend and now wife always had issues but benefits from all my time searching and I just wondered if anyone else had or has this issue. She thinks deals fall in your lap and it really takes a long time and skill to navigate through garbage and scams online etc.
haha love this question. the first year we were dating my wife didn't understand why i was always looking even when i was happy with my vehicle. you hit it on the head though - with the used car market you can't control when an opportunity is going to present itself especially with the enthusiast cars. my wife appreciates it now as I've bought a few vehicles that have really worked out for us. after all, you could be doing a LOT worse things then scanning classifieds for cars.
@@ZachD now I feel better because she didn't get it then or now. I don't search ads much with her around now. She benefited with every vehicle but I made it look easy I guess. I got the 2 i always wanted and 1 I stumbled on so unless I can find that 6 speed Cadillac I guess i'm done for now. Glad someone's significant other gets it 😂
@@dentpulla for sure man - every relationship is different. I wouldn't say my wife gets it but she accepts that it will always be an interest of mine ha. Ultimately cars are dumb - all they have to do is get us from A to B and I hate that I love slamming gears and bouncing off the limiter but it is what it is. Good luck on the cadillac search I've always been intrigued by the cadillac CTS with the 6 speed tremec gearbox even if its not the V model. Slept on car for sure. cheers

@@ericlindsey1708 dang that’s so awesome. I’m pumped for you! Sounds like you found an absolute gem. Unreal it has that low of mileage. Great work
