my new veloster turbo

[fatty]

just bought my new veloster turbo. base model turbo version. since its the turbo version all the cool things come stock, blue tooth, big audio touch screen, etc. Ive been debating about getting one for a while but needed to find a roomate to help share the bills before I can buy one, and then BAM, parents get divorced and my mom wants to move in. now I saved enough money to buy this one. has plenty of poer for only being a 1.6 liter but being super light and me being super light it makes up for it big time. whats your thoughts

[Julio]

I like those cars.. What happens if your moms finds a new boy friend and moves out ?

[D3UC3S]

My step mom has one. Hard for me to see a man driving one.

Turbos are cool tho.

Hahah funny fucker

[D3UC3S]

lol

[fatty]

the regular veloseter is piss ass slow but they upped their game on this one. 50% more power and torque. Its no new GTI but then again a brand new loaded gti costs over 30 g's and a well equipped is very high 20's. picked this one up for 24000.

I doubt that will happen plus, hopefully by then I can find someone to settle down with that doesn't care that my mom leaves with me

[fatty]

lol

Hey man. never heard back about you selling me that honda. what happened?

[.blank cd]

I don't give a fuck what y'all say, but I want a lime green one.

[D3UC3S]

Ya sry bud...I travel all over so im never home or have any time for anything but my family. You still want it? I assume not since you just bought the new car. Shoulda just blown me up with texts. I get real sidetracked with work.

[RL...]

ehhhh you couldve bought a much nicer car for that money.

[fatty]

I didn't want to be annoying but dam bro. you could of saved me a shitload of money

[fatty]

ehhhh you couldve bought a much nicer car for that money.

like? no seriously. I am a semi amputee ( meaning the arm is still there but only limited use) so the car has to be automatic and small and cheap amd quick

[D3UC3S]

Lol, i didn't make you buy THAT car.

Blow me up IDC, if you needed a car that bad, shoulda done it. Hell i would have let you test drive it one week while i was gone. I gotz insurance yo!

[Kyle]

You make your mom pay rent? Jesus.

Not a fan. With proper negotiating skills, you can buy a 2013 Mustang GT for 26k. Jussayin'... 12s for 26k. If you wanted a small, "cute" car that is made for economy, you found a good one.

Then you have a Ford with shitty gas mileage that's worth only 10k after you drive off the lot.

Oh totally, buy a Hyundai, they are notorious for holding their value...

BTW, I did point out if he was going for economy, then it was a great choice. If you look at my 2 cars, I am obviously not too concerned with gas prices.

I want a MB GL...lol

I'm sure this is a generalization. I was looking a few months ago and any nicely equipped gt 5.0 was still in the 20s.

None the less. OP... Enjoy your veloster raptor. You should look around and see if anyone has had success with manual boost controllers on that car :D

[Sammich]

i dont think i woulda purchased it, BUT as long as you like it. what you doing to it

[l Gizzy l]

Then you have a Ford with shitty gas mileage that's worth only 10k after you drive off the lot.

if you're worried about scrounging up money to fill up your tank, then you shouldnt be buying a NEW car anyway....same goes with resale value. The first thing I think when I'm buying a new car ISNT "oh man, I wont be able to resell this thing for anything near what I paid for it) Shouldnt worry so much about semantics, man, and just enjoy it.

2013 5.0s MSRP at my dealership for 26-28 ha you can get one for 24, 25 moderately equipped (Recaros or Brembos, not both though :()

As long as you enjoy the car, OP, that's what matters.

at least hyundai still has that 100k/10yr warranty though, right? LOL

[l Gizzy l]

3yr b2b 5yr Powertrain on the Ford.

'Merica.

[David88vert]

Team Hyundai has limited lifetime on powertrain. Nothing beats that right now. Hyundai has really stepped up. I'm considering getting either a new Sonata or a Kia Optima for my wife.

[Sammich]

what happened to their 100k mile 10yr warranty?! TF?!

[fatty]

there is no way that you can get a new mustang gt automatic for low to mid 20's. I went to ford to check out the ST and also looked at the mustangs, a gt was mid 30's and a 5.0 was a little over 40. you can always haggle with a dealer but not by that much.

[fatty]

You make your mom pay rent? Jesus.
well yea. If i were a millionaire then I would never but that is not the case so we share the costs fairly

i dont see nothing wrong w/ it..i know if i even moved back home i'd give my mom money towards bills. i mean i pay her cell phone bill as we are on the same plan, but business is business.

a) a gt is a 5.0
b) my coworker just bought a brand new gt with some options throwin in for 28,700 OTD. No one is buying those cars right now+year end deals=get a good deal. Depending on a few factors, you CAN haggle big time.

don't know much about mustangs but the ones with the v8 cost over 30gs and even the nice looking v6 versions were upper 20's. this was at cherokee ford in alpharetta. ohh well. I am happy with the hyundai, its pretty quick and a lot of fun around turns. the styling is a bit crazy but not like pontiac aztec crazy

[VQ35 Star]

lol man as long as you like it, I guess that what matters here.

thank you ha not like I work at Ford or anything...

Automatics do sell for more than manuals, though, as there are WAY less of them, and the transmission is more expensive.

As long as you like it, like I said.

Please enlighten me as to which dealership he bought that car as I will trade the veloster in for that.

dont believe it was automatic, that adds ~3k to pricetag

[l Gizzy l]

and holy shit, over 40? ha we have a Boss302 out front for 38....its a 2012

[SHHHH]

Lady at my work picked up one of these about 2 months ago. Neat little car but I had high expectations for it. Not a bad little car overall.

Agree on the GT>ST>Veloster argument. The ST is a super fun little car with gobs of torque. With just a tune they turn into one nasty little grocery getter :goodjob:

Whats wrong with that? With the money you save buy a one way ticket and road trip home!

Nothing better than having 10 hrs to drive a car you just bought. Especially one with some ass.

those are all stickshifts. I need an automatic which adds 1500 to it. plus a mustang gt is at best 27-28. then add tax, tag and title and it becomes right at 30 or a little more. I got mine for walk out 24k. plus I don't like big muscle cars. I prefer, small better handling cars. call it cute as you may. but as you drive your mustang past 500 other mustangs on your way home. I will be passing 1-3 other veloster turbos.

[l Gizzy l]

we're not turning it into a pissing contest, man.

You said it right here.

That's fine. Different strokes different folks. Enjoy your Veloster turbo.

Oh, and your prices are suggesting you pay sticker. Who does that? :D You're supposed to leave the dealership, and 10 minutes later the salesman goes "damn I got screwed"

Not the other way around.

I commute 160 miles a day and see tons of those on the road. Apparently, its a good choice for commuters. I like the looks.

Amen. I drove to Cincinnati from Augusta to get my GL450. It saved me $5,000 on a certified MB. I make 500 miles my normal limit. This was 479 ;) Driving through the mountains was amazing. The most fun road trip ever. You would be crazy/stupid/underinformed to deny bying a car farther away when there is so much money to be saved.

[djyuck]

Well, which one is it? You say this...

So, which one is it? If your foot is in both world and you go back and forth, no biggie- we've all been there. However, your Hyundai doesn't come close in handling to the Mustang GT. Let's make sure you understand that one up front. Yours pulls a 0.82 on the skidpad. That is nothing to brag about at all. I've pulled over .90 on mine with silent tires (it has a built in lateral accelleration app). Keep in mind the GT STOCK tied the M3 in a track event in a road test, and this was prior to the improvements of the 2013 GT. Jussayin...

[Sexyskyline]

I want one of those for a daily. Not in white though lol

[scarimports]

looks great mate i have yet to see one in real life.

[fatty]

looks great mate i have yet to see one in real life.

they are ok. sold it pretty much right after I bought it, no room in the driveway plus I wanted a new entertainment center. night and day difference between the regular veloster and the turbo version. I am not talking hmm yea I guess it feels faster, but holly effing shit the regular veloster is slow and this one is Ok

[Drummerboy]

I would have bought a Volvo C30 instead. 2011's go for 19ish, 2012/13 go for 24-30.

Agree on the GT>ST>Veloster argument.

Argument? How is this even an argument? The dude posted pics of a car HE purchased and folks are turning this into a "shoulda got this" and "shoulda got that" thread when I'm pretty sure not one person in this thread (aside from the OP) paid a penny for the car. Who cares what you would have gotten or what you think he should have gotten? You didn't get it and neither did he.
