Put it up for sale today for $4500 cad
Just got offered 4250 lol nickel and diming
What would you take for it? 2005 LS literally mint, engine/tranny never ever gave any trouble ever, biggest thing I've ever replaced on it has been the brakes and just now a new wheel bearing in the 50k I've driven it. 140xxx kilometres

My wife drives an '05 1.8T.
Unfortunately I end up always having to turn the wrenches on it! Not TOO much has gone wrong though, to my surprise (given all the bullshit I endured on her B7 A4). I do need to do a timing belt on it soon though and passenger CV axle inner boot was torn I noticed on the last oil change.
I enjoy driving it though, nice car!

Yeah probably...well that depends I mean if you've located a S/C in decent shape for close to that I'd offload the LS like a lead weight and pick up the S/C...but if you have no direction it's probably best not to get rid of the car until you have another one secured.
On the other hand there's a 2010 lnf 2 hours away with 68km for 11 but he won't budge on the price. Bone stock as well
Decisions decisions. Looking at the lsj on monday

if the LNF is in good shape I'd get it, thats decent KM and all 2010 Canadian models have LSD, should have RPD to, I'd def. go check it out!
I went straight for an LNF, saw it sitting there, all shiny and white and just had to have it lol...everyday I drive this car I love it more and more

I mean no offense to their owners, but having driven a couple LSJ's I just can't imagine owning one vs. the LNF's I've had. Just very different cars and I personally prefer this much more.
I guess I mean as in an LSJ that still has the M62 on it anyway. I realize you can do major surgery on the LSJ, but then again all I gotta do is press "write flash" on mine to do it :P

Changed my brakes, scratched my head for about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to compress the back, then saw on here where it has to be screwed not compressed... Learn something new everyday with this car...

Started on my first ever retro. Used mini h1s b stock from trs and they work great. Only problem I had was missing one set of mounting hardware but a new set is in the mail headed this way now.

I'll have pics for sure. Does anyone know if the red will glow from light bouncing out of the reflector if I don't put a shroud on? Or will it just look like ****? I plan on testing it at night tonight but any help would be nice

Funny you should say that, there's a sunburst 07 orange lsj just down the road from me with 130xxx kilometres and he wants 7, pretty sure I could talk him down to 6. Owned by a older guy, bone stock.
On the other hand there's a 2010 lnf 2 hours away with 68km for 11 but he won't budge on the price. Bone stock as well
