>>
>>14180664

Money nor time were issues. Perceived risk involved and timing with getting my truck and such.

You get better through research and hands on practice. The fact that you're here is already a good sign. Glad to see people actively trying to fix something instead of just paying to have it done and still not knowing what the issue was. Good on you.

What's the issue?

>>14180650

Thanks, Exumbroksi.
>>
>>14180683
>Perceived risk involved and timing with getting my truck and such.
Say what now?

Well it's not like I could get it anywhere if I wanted right now, too afraid to even try. I did want to have someone give it a general check up just to see how it's doing since I don't know all what to check.

>>14180105 This would be the issue.
If my car would have made louder than usual noises, I wouldn't be stumped. But seeing as it was driving fine besides light flickering and somehow dry dipstick, I'm not even sure how to proceed. I was thinking of just dumping out all the oil and just filling it back up.
>>
>>14180708
>Say what now?

Mostly paranoia on my part, but the thought that Experian might view my heavy usage as commercial use and try to fuck me (BIG time) was a thought I started having after 6+ months of checking VINs. It's probably nothing. If anything, I'd just have had my account banned most likely.

Hmm. Definitely sounds low. I mean the dipstick obviously tells you that. But also, the sloshing around of the oil might expose/cover the sensor for the light, as opposed it being always covered - thus triggering the light on and off. It can't hurt to drain and refill. Then start putting cardboard or newpaper under your car when you park. A small leak will be hard to notice without deliberately checking for it. I stupidly never checked and attempted a fix, but my last car had a slow leak, and I would just periodically check and add oil. But I took much notice of spots on the ground until the spot I park at work started showing more and more over time.

Hi
3FADP4GX7FM151159
>>
>>14180781
Ah, yeah I don't blame you. I was wondering that too but who knows what the technically on that is. Does it say you can't look for anyone else? I mean hell, they do let you get unlimited checks. There's no way they didn't see this being a possible thing. Still, I don't blame you.

I probably should. I didn't noticed anything where I park at home, but it's on asphalt. I can't say I checked at work either. I suppose I'll have to just go buy some oil and dump it out asap once I get home. Sun sets early these days. I would do it today if it wasn't night time.

I feel like I may have somehow put in the dipstick wrong, but I doubt that's possible.

Not so sure how I would fix a small leak though.
>>
>>14180847

It'd be a grey area, I suppose. Technically, it is NOT commercial use. I was not charging money for reports, so it is NOT commerce. And I don't happen to recall anything about limitations for whom I may check. Still, the perceived/potential/rhetorical was big and subscription renewal perfectly coincided with me buying my truck, so I figured I'd give it a break. I may very well return to it. Luckily, mightyBenz took it right and has been doing a fantastic job. Kudos to him.

I feel ya. I work nights, so I go to and leave work in the dark. And it's dark when I wake up. But it seems worth to try. Also, reaffix or affix a new filter. Maybe a bad seal or you put it on slightly off. Check around/on the filter.

I believe every car I've had, the dipstick would only fully go in one way. Just make sure you push it down fully. My truck give resistance at the bottom so if I don't deliberately push it all the way in, it won't go all the way down and thus read incorrectly.

You'd have to find out where the leak is. I believe there is a dye you can add to the oil that make sit show up with a blacklight or something like that. It's how shops find seemingly nonexistent leaks.
>>
>>14180892
Oh? So you finally found the truck you always wanted? I could see how you could get away with all it that way. Companies love to nitpick though when they know they're losing potential money. Well, "potential" anyways.

I work till evening, but I have like a 45 minute drive home. So it's almost dark by the time I get home.

That's what I thought, and I've pushed it down as far as I can go. I guess I'm hoping for something stupid that I somehow missed to explain all this.

I'm assuming that's expensive. The dye and a blacklight.

>>
>>14181003

Yeah man. 12 months later, and I finally have it. Pic related, a recent picture I took.

"potential" is right. It's the same concept with pirating movies. They are assuming I would watch a movie anyway. If I can't watch it for free, mots of the time I simply wouldn't watch it. No money lost.

Ah damn. I only work 6 miles from home, so my commute is short.

I always hope for that lol. Typically it's not the issue though - but we can hope! I bid you best of luck.

Eh not sure. A blacklight isn't expensive, but I can't speak for the dye. My guess is no.

lel, nice going bud.

I'm glad and proud you finally got it. You held out for it like you wanted too. If only I had done the same, but I don't think the Subaru is too bad. Mixed on if I should keep it or not.

Pretty much. Most of the time people wouldn't watch it unless they were able to for free, even if it's something they do want to watch. Those movies usually make their money at the theaters anyways.

My commute use to be that short, now it's a 25 mile hour drive. Really hope that didn't kill it.

I might go test it soon enough. I hate having to drive other people's car, and now it's weird to drive an automatic.

It's pretty nice. Dings and scratches (can't see then in the pic) and the front bumper is dented from a deer (you can sort of see this) but all things considered, very nice. Interior is great (pic related).

The underside was good. Rust wasn't severe, I did a LOT of testing, including hammer testing. I had the bed off and treated the frame for winter.

Yeah it felt good knowing all my waiting SNF saving laid off in the end. Satisfying.
It's hard to say if a vehicle is worth keeping. If the oil issue is the only major issue then I say keep it and fix it. Getting a different car is pricy and risky. Typically best to keep what you have if it's not total shit.

Yeah so much is made at box office and through contracts with streaming companies.

Damn that's awful. I mean I enjoy driving but an hour each way is a long chunk of time. That's almost ad bad as the 90 minutes when I was walking.

I know what you mean. Other than driving my landlady's car as my own for 7 months, I've overall avoided driving another's car more than just a test feel.
Yeah autos feel weird to me now. Odd that it moves on its own lol

... oh right, we're in 2016 now. With the US-style date the date was the exact same one minus a year as the day I ran the VIN, so I suppose I was especially confused by that and therefore thought that the reason for wanting a VIN was to see if the accident had been registered or not

It wasn't bad. That was mostly previous undercoating that the PO did. The metal itself had relatively little. No thin parts to the frame nor perforations, even on the worst part by the rear shackles.

SNF? What is that? Saturday Night Football?

Well, I got it done today. Drained the oil, put new oil in. Cheap oil unfortunately. Oil on the dipstick. All is good. Sorta. I only got two quarts back out of the engine. I have to assume that means my car somehow burns either half or more of it's oil within 4000 miles. That doesn't sound too much like a good thing. I know most cars will burn oil, but this sounds a bit much.
I'm also not sure if I should even consider taking it to the Subaru mechanic now to have it looked at. Who knows what they will charge me, and I don't want to pay them to put oil in when I had already done so. Even if it was cheap oil.

I'd be fine with the drive if it wasn't for traffic. Always the worst part. But yeah, I do wish it was a bit shorter.

Nah, Saturday Night Fever.
Actually a really obvious typo I managed to not see. Fucking touch screens. I much prefer a keyboard.

If it's burning that much oil, you'd probably smell it. Do you see any blue/greyish in the exhaust gasses? It may be burning oil, but I doubt that's the main cause of the loss. I still suspect leak.

I wouldn't bring it in just yet. Test it yourself. Get this.
http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-10-5045-Multi-Purpose-Fluorescent-Detection/dp/B008I2VPC4/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1452127772&sr=1-2&keywords=uv+fluorescent+leak+detection+dye

There are cheaper brands, but that type of product in general.

And a blacklight (UV light).

This will probably be your best best. And just take the light to the vehicle (under the hood, all around underneath, etc..) every night and look for anywhere that shows itself.

Yeah I feel ya. I love driving, but as with anyone, not so much in traffic. I don't really hit traffic even with my short route, since I start work at 10:30PM. I hit a little in the morning, but nothing major at all.

What was it that you meant to type?

I'm not too sure what burning oil smells like necessarily, but I'm sure it'd be noticeable. I haven't noticed a burning smell either way. Or maybe I'm just too use to the smell of burning things. It hasn't been blowing out any weird smoke either.

Huh, that's not actually too bad of a price. Guess I'll be cancelling that appointment. Not like I have the money now anyways. Hopefully the blacklight isn't too much either.

I did forget to mention that a few months ago I had the check engine light come on while I was driving. I had it checked out at AutoZone since they'll check them for free. It came up as a "small leak" in several locations. I wasn't sure where the small leak could have been obviously, and I recently had gotten gas and I could have just put the cap on too lightly. I disconnected the battery to see if it would eventually come back up, but it hasn't. I thought if there was an actual leak somewhere, that check engine light would come back on. Maybe not though? So I guess I can get this dye, and see what I get out of it.

Then I can take it to a mechanic and have them charge me millions of dollars for labor, and one dollar for the part. :^)

I leave right at evening, so I get to hit all the fun traffic. Good thing I'm about to work midshifts though due to school. Should ease up on the traffic.

At least the long drives are good for music.

Man this reminds me that after I got this Subaru, I went and checked out more cars just to see what I might have missed out on. One of the places I bought another car from, long story, that was under new ownership had a pretty decent looking RX8 in stock for a good price. Made me almost want to go out and get it.
>>
>>14187366

I meant to type 'and'. lol

I hope you're not too used to the smell. That'd mean it's done it most if not all of the time you've owned it, and that's not a good sign. I'll assume the best here.
No smoke? Well that's good. Seems you're not burning. Not impossible, but signs point to no.

Yeah the dye is surprisingly cheap. A blacklight will vary a lot, but you just need a small, portable one. I can't imagine much more than $20.

The CEL code is useful, but without an indication of what is causing it, it can be a lot of things. But sometimes codes take a while to come back on. I had a CEL code for a vacuum leak, which I presumed was the bad gasket on my fuel tank. I could smell gas after I filled up, and for a few days after. The code went away on its own. I have since replaced the gasket, eliminating the fuel smell. No code yet. I imagine it won't come back.
My point is that if a code isn't being tripped consistently, it might clear it (or so it seems). If it hasn't come back yet, then it may be nothing. Can't say.

Haha well you might find out the part isn't that hard to replace. For now, just focus on the diagnosis.

If the shitty drive to work cannot be avoided then yes, music is a must. It's the one aspect of my short commute that I don't like. Almost no time for tunes!
>>
>>14187366

Well I doubt I will get away with it at the auction, but I am going to try. I am a cheapskate. I am hoping all the small-lot dealers will shy away from the rotary engine. I will have it rebuilt if I can get the car for cheap.

Oooh...not sure why I couldn't put that in my mind.

I'm always got something to burn. :^) But no, like I said. I assume the smell of burning oil is noticeable.
Yeah, the smoke would be a lot more noticeable. I'd probably see it in my rear view mirror eventually, but there's times I've gotten out of my car and went to the back anyways.

Man, still another $30-40 out of my wallet. The things I gotta do for this car.

P0456 is what it was I believe? Maybe I'll see it come back on eventually. I should probably order my own code scanner too, but those really do cost a pretty penny. I'll have to wait on that. I'll have to see what this dye will tell me. Or not tell me.

Well if it's in the engine, I don't have anything to haul that baby out. Not even sure if getting the tools to do so will still be less expensive or not than taking it to a mechanic.

Yeah when I had my shorter trip for my last job, I usually just let my cds repeat dozens of times before switching out. Now that I have an aux, I can just put on a bunch of singles.

That's okay. I mean it does seem logical, but then again SNF looks absolutely nothing like and.

Yeah you'd have noticed burning oil if you were burning it. It's pretty noticeable. And if you've never once noticed your exhaust fumes being off colored (blueish grey specifically) by now, you're probably not burning much if any.

Hey now. $40 isn't that much. No one wants to spend more money on fixing a car, but if it helps you diagnose the issue, it could potentially save you a LOT of money in the end.

I have this one here that connects via bluetooth to my phone. Very affordable. And it can read a lot more than just CEL codes.
http://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Bluetooth-diagnostics-Android/dp/B005NLQAHS

The dye is a go-to tool for mechanics looking for leaks. If there is one, it should tell you where it is.

Leaks aren't usually in the engine bay, and if they are, you don't usually need to take the whole damn engine out. Worry not. Don't assume the worst.

My first car was cassette and radio only, so radio it was. Mostly hits - but not many. This was before I really disliked pop, but I still didn't like it.
Second car had an aftermarket head unit with aux, so my phone it was, along with 103.3fm with is an independent station out of Princeton Uni. Only station I listen to now.
My truck has an aftermarket HU with bluetooth. Quite nice, not being tethered.

AHAHAHA, well that explains the price for the truck then. Moving on. Thank you very much regardless.
>>
>>14187537

Oh I forgot to mention that I don't see how that CEL code could related to your oil issue. It's an evaporation leak code meaning it'd be a vacuum or fuel leak problem, sort of like mine was. Without having a hint (such as a gas smell for me), it's hard to test without smoking the system.

I would assume there would be some sort of smoke coming from the engine as well. My stepdad's old Jeep use to burn oil too apparently, but I don't ever remember any burning smell from it.

$40 is a lot when you need to pay off a car loan. Among other things. Still, you're right. I actually see a kit that comes with everything I supposedly need for $63. It has Prime shipping too, which is good. Apparently a lot of these other dyes are for A/C or coolant systems only. The one you showed was multipurpose, but it had a $7 shipping fee.

I've heard about these things. I heard they work well, but also read they can somehow screw with the computer. Not sure if this is true or not. Maybe the person using the device just fucked up when looking at the codes.

But they have those cassette players now where they act just like aux ports. Though this was probably before they had these. Not sure when they finally figured that out.
It must be. Mine doesn't have bluetooth, but I probably wouldn't hook it up anyways. I'm not a big audiophile, but I'd still prefer a wired connection over bluetooth for the most part.

I do feel bad for highjacking these threads since they aren't yours now.

Thanks! So the engine has low compression and it's been in a collision... maybe THIS will keep the price lower!

You think I could get the rotary rebuilt for like $2000 USD?
>>
>>14187822

It depends on where it's being burnt and how much. But if your big oil issue were burning, you'd definitely notice it.

There are other dyes. I saw one for $4.88 that was oil only. Didn't notice the shipping. Just look for the basic shit and read some reviews. No need to buy expensive dye since it serves a limited purpose.

I haven't used mine heavily, but no issues on my end. Same for when I used in my buddy's X5. Computer issues would probably be very apparent and immediate. That one I bought is a well known one, recommended by a handful of anons on /o/.

Well there are those cassettes that have a 3.5mm jack at the end. Not sure if I ever used one. I think my cassette player was busted. I think I tried an FM transmitter. Mixed results.
With the current codices used for BT audio, the quality is not bad. Any loss of quality will be from either your source content or audio equipment. But wtf do I know? I've tuned my ears to 128kb/s MP3s.....

>they aren't yours now

It wasn't $63 just for the dye, it also came with the UV light and other things. Wasn't a bad deal, but could probably still get it for cheaper if I could just find the dye cheaper and have prime.

I guess I could go ahead and order it then. Not like I'm hoping to use it all the time myself actually.

Yeah, one of those. They work decently well. The FM trasmitters are always just kind of meh. They work if you're desperate.
At least 128kbs saves a lot of space. FLAC and other loseless formats love to eat up memory. One album can take up as much as 500mb or more. Even 320kbs is less than 200mb.

Maybe one day they'll be yours again. That or you two have to share.
>>
>>14187912

You've got prime? In that case, see if you can find a UV light with prime shipping and find a dye that lists as an add-on item. That way you get free shipping for both.

That's why I use 128. Our first computer had a tiny HDD and I needed to save space. So 128 it was. Funny that I have TBs of space now lol and my phone has 64gb internal with a 200gb microSD card. I don't notice enough quality loss to care at all. I am FAR from an audiophile. I can still appreciate the overall quality of the mastering and production without needing the nitty gritty.

Yeah I suspect I will start up again some day.

It came from Colorado. Judging by the angle of impact and extent of the damage, all I can say is that someone hit something in Colorado going very fast.

I do. I thought it was going to be a waste of money, but it's been pretty helpful so far. Seeing as once you get the option of unlimited 2-day shipping, you end up trying to use it.

Come on down to the 320 side, you'll notice it soon enough! And then you'll love it and will never want to go back.

We can all hope you do.

I talked to my coworker today about my issue. He's actually really knowledgeable about car, he'd fit right in /o/. He told me I could try another test on the tailpipe. Apparently I need to have something white like paper or a paper towel right underneath it and then have someone press on the accelerator. That way I can see for sure if I'm getting any smoke out of the tailpipe or not. I guess sometimes it's not too noticeable. Otherwise, I'll try ordering some of this dye.

>you end up trying to use it

I bet. There are plenty of items I'd then go to Amazon first because after shipping costs, it'd probably cost either less or the same, and if it's the same then I'd not only feel good about using that free shipping but I know Amazon's shipping is reliable.
I just wish Prime were cheaper, like it used to be.

That's the thing. I MAY notice it over time (though I have my doubts - and I own no modern hifi equipment so I'd he limited there) but I am okay with 128 so why bother switching? I don't want to resource my entire library. Converting my 128s to 320s won't increase quality, just file size, so I would need to start fresh with 320/FLAC/WAV/whatever. Too much time and work for potentially little or no benefit. naw meen homie?

Definitely worth trying the tailpipe. Hadn't thought of that/never heard of that. Seems like an easy, free test. No reason not to.

I get it for $50 a year due to the college student special they have. If you have an email with edu at the end, it should let you get in on the action.

It would be pretty annoying to convert every little song file you had, and it's not like you can anyways. It can only go down, it can't go back up. So going to 128 to 320 would not do anything for you really. But you could always start now! Right? Right?

Yeah, I'll have to do it tomorrow. He also gave another suggestion to look for leaks without the dye, but I don't know. Kind of getting a bit stressed about this already. I almost just feel like changing the oil every 2500 miles or something.

I seem to have bad luck with buying cars from dealerships.

https://www.diigo.com/item/pdf/5gt7b/w9e5?k=a45fc8e9f954185c86c4031ac98dade0

And I am worried because this report does not have a registration renewal event for the years 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014

Is this reason for worry? Please respond I am going to see the car today.

Apparently it is located in CA, USA.

that was the listing on CL.
>>
>>14204400
Nothing dangerous about that, all it means (to the best of my knowledge) is that the car hasn't been registered on a service, gotten new papers or anything during that time period. Perhaps it has been serviced at home, not been used a lot or similar
>>
>>14204400

Google tells me that Massachusetts registration renewal is biannual. So since the first MA registration was in 2005, it would be odd years from then on which is why there is none of the years you listed.

They're the same thing. It gets listed as Registration event/renewal. And that's for any registration. New tags normally are under title event. If someone who already owned it decided to switch to/from vanity plates then that perhaps might be listed under registration event, but I've never seen that so I can't say for sure.

Service, damage, etc...will get their own types of records indicating such.

Either you're mistaken and it will pass inspection (though I assume you'd know) or perhaps it was brought to an indie mechanic who is authorized to do inspections and falsely passed it (perhaps knows the owner, idk).

Beat to fuck?

>>14210609

He's assuming/implying that by buying a used Mazdaspeed3 Sport, you'd be buying a car that was beat on by some stupid teenager before you. The whole point of the Mazdaspeed line is that it's higher performance, so those with a Need For Speed® will buy it over a regular Mazda and beat the shit out of it.

Thanks!

ty Benz. Jesus fucking christ says 180k miles in 2013 but guy is selling to me saying it gas 164k miles. This is the second Grand Am I've seen /on this thread/ with a rolled back odometer. Thank you, you saved my ass twice now.

Fucking christ he shows me this, and apparently the odometer reads in KM, which does perfectly convert to 164 as advertised. Now I'm confused as fuck if the report has been considering conversions this whole time. The fuck do I do about this?

What kind of a shitty part of town do you live in?
>>
>>14211948

I live in the valley in California. The shitty town George Lucas was born and raised. (Modesto) This deal is in Sacramento. I really do hate this fucking area, especially when it comes to this.

See, I don't know if the people writing the odometer readings converted to miles. Or if it really was rolled back and/or was replaced with a european cluster. God damn i'm confused and conflicted as fuck because I really wanted this car and was so close to taking the deal.

Eeeeh, I really don't know... Its an american car sold new in the US that, for some reason, has its odometer in KM's. How strange indeed

It has now. Sometimes I forget (too often) to refresh after doing a check, and another may have ticked in while I was typing
>>
>>14211986

Exactly. I even looked on another report saying it was manufactured in the states here in the U.S. I don't know what to think. The first Grand Am I had you look at for me seemed to be rolled back too. This is just annoying and feels impossible to purchase, especially since this is my first time purchasing a vehicle at all.

>>14211989
Ah, thats fine. I really appreciate you offering us this service! A deep heart felt thank you. Are you still working on the slopes right now?

Benz,

Trying to save the PDF file but I'm on my phone and having trouble doing so. Sent you an email to request a PDF.

Thanks again!

Every other weekend & holidays, although I'll probably be working a lot of extra days as there is very little coursework for my degree currently, as I'm on my last semester and soon going to start my bachelors. With the bachelor going to be focused on the skidestination I work at it means I can do most of the work from here aswell

Finally getting some proper snowfalls, although we wish the snow itself would be a bit heavier and not so fluffy

>>14211525

>mileage: 5

Can't tell if used or not.
>>
>>14212225

Yeah. It was titled, which means it was bought/leased. And then they failed to make payments (thus, the lien). Can't say what the current mileage is, since there hasn't been a mileage record since, but I cannot imagine it's high. They only had it a month before a lien was reported. The longest they could have drug that out was until whenever the car was put for sale, so just a few months. But it was likely repossessed shortly after the lien was reported if it's already for sale.
