What country are you from?

I'm American

Also is the transmission a R154, W58, or a A340E?

Just fix your current car or get a civic for 3k. A newer one does nothing better.

Have any of you guys been delivery boys before? I could really use some prior knowledge

Why the fuck did I just reply to myself

Have a good phone with a provider that has the best coverage in your area, so you can call people if needed and always have a signal. There are coverage maps online if you want the very best coverage

GPS is often useless out in the backroads, but it is helpful most of time. Using google maps streetview can be a good trick to find street numbers for houses before hand so you know where to go. I also use a gps app called "heremaps" because it overlays the actual house numbers on the map unlike google maps, which has saved me many, many times with unmarked houses.

Just maintain your vehicle well since you are going to be putting a lot of miles on it. Keep oil, coolant, jumper cables, spare tire, etc on hand.

Not super important, but it might be a good idea to keep track of your mileage and tips while on the job right off the bat. i think there are probably apps made to do this. It can just save you potential head ache for taxes and stuff

that's all i can think of right now

>>16842527
The best you could possibly do. Real luxury right there.

lol is that a fucking hearse?

It is a car I would like to get. Last gen of the true Volvos before Ford pimped them out for cheeseburgers. You did pretty fucking good I'd say

Its my first car and I honestly don't know what to get ): budget it 4k

I still like the idea of smoking in your car if its your shitbox/beater. Its well earned, and helps you get alert before work, and unlike coffee makes normies and retards more bearable. But anything remotely nice should smell like those squash air fresheners, or tastefully chosen little tree

A cigarette lighter? Do cars even offer that anymore? I've done dabs off them before.

tfw no comfy land yacht with cigarette lighters in every door.

>>16842470
A better question would be - what is normally is located in the place the car lighter will occupy? I'd rather have a power source than a lighter (which will need an adapter anyway).

No and yes

>>16842460
everything that the autistic faggots on this website obsess over is completely irrelevant to the real world

>>16842460
Yes and no.
Lap times dont matter to you unless you race.
Race cars lap times do not help you commute better.

>>16842349
Since it sounds like you know nothing about cars, pay for a pre-purchase inspection. Any reputable shop should do one. If the person selling the car won't let you get the car inspected, it guarantees they're trying to hide something

>>16842372
Basically, I don't know anything. That's why I want help. What should I know about referring to cars?

>>16842331
why are you worried about the ride quality of a "hot hatch"?
I have a GTI and I take the good with the bad. You bought a car knowing full well the ride would be questionable. As for the throttle response...? I have no idea what you're doing. Peak torque in the GTI is at 2400RPM or so, so how the hell are you not able to accelerate when you've got 60 more horses?

>>16842344
To elaborate on the throttle response, I mean the R doesn't exactly have instant power - there are times I've need to GTFO either to pass or merge, have slammed the pedal only to wait an eternity for a downshift and then boost to build. It's that single context that has discolored the experience for me. Slowing down, trying to merge across traffic in a metropolitan area is painful. People give no consideration to turn signals, and instead speed up so that you don't impede them. So, while slowing down to try and get into an exit lane, you might suddenly need power to speed up and change lanes - and it feels absolutely laggy. Maybe less so in Sport mode. I haven't tuned my R, not sure if that would fix the issue. Also, the R has a larger turbo and takes longer to spin up.

>>16842369
The larger turbo might be the cause of that, because my GTI has almost immediate response all the time. Now granted I also have the performance pack with the DSG, so the tune might be a factor. If I'd have to make a suggestion, I'd say you should drive it in "manual" mode and keep boost for the occasions where you need the 300hp. Do you just cruise around in D? Sport seems to be too much for me to drive around in all the time, and D isn't enough, so I often use the manual setting to keep at least a little bit of boost

He's not wrong.

They already have the Escalade, CT6, and XTS. What more could a boomer want?
