Im looking to buy a 2014 subaru impreza for $13 500 canadian, the car has 7200 km no previous accidents it is a base model 5spd manual. The awd is also a big bonus for me as it snows allot where I live. The dealer also offered to throw in 16" alloy rims as it comes with 15" steel wheels as is. Is this a good deal?

Seems fine to me, thats hardly used at all.

In that case, its meh

You can get a brand new one for $19000 right now.

Though I guess they do tend to hold value pretty well. I'd say shop around local craiglist, kijij and autotrader and see what other imprezas are going for in similar shape and KM

need a small truck/suv, found a 2009 jeep liberty that's in surprisingly good condition right in my budget. no rust, no knocking, no leaking, no smoke, only incident is a minor rear end a few years ago. 130k miles. Anyone have experience with this car? If this is in the wrong spot delet it.

/o/ tends to shit on more modern jeeps. If there's nothing wrong with it, then it wouldn't be too bad, but it would greatly depend on how much your willing to spend and how long you think it will be before looking to buy another car.

Jeeps tend to start shitting their pants if not babbied right around 160-170k, at least from my friends patriot and grand Cherokee as examples.

Anybody have shit to talk on the 2014 Chevy Sonic Harchback.

Looking for the most cynicsm you can throw at it.

Hey /o/ I really need your help diagnosing an issue.
So this issue started in mid December. When I go to start my truck, what I believe is the starter, makes a whirring noise. Try turning the ignition again and it starts up immediately. Sometimes might need to turn the ignition once or twice or even three times more every once in a while. After I've driven my truck around the issue typically doesn't come back for the rest of the day. I've chalked the issue up to being partly a result of cold weather (around 20° F and below) and a bad starter as well. However I'm not sure how much cold weather is a factor because just now at about 35° F it happened, and usually it doesn't happen in that warm of weather because it hasn't been as much of an issue lately. So what exactly is the problem? I'm guessing bad starter, bad starter solenoid, something like that. And I'd like to clarify that when I say my truck starts right up it does start up with absolutely zero hesitation, because that's what my truck does when it actually starts. Just would like some more input

Oh also this doesn't ALWAYS happen. Rather frequently though, and when it does it's in very cold weather.
>>
You must drive an 80s truck or something.
>>
It would help if you provided year, make,model, and mileage but sounds just like a failing starter.

Which option are you choosing?

>Cash back and emission warranty extension
or
>Cash back and trade-in value

?
6 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Wouldn't mind cash back and trade it value, but won't know anything til October unfortunately.
>>
>>16727310
Anyone who chooses the first option is an idiot, the residual values of the effected cars are tanking. Get shot of it asap and get something else.

In the UK at least, the "software update" makes the performance worse. Whole thing is a fucking disaster.
>>
>>16727319
So I think I'm entitled to 15,500 CAD$ for a trade-in. What ya'll think nigga?!

Whats the proper way to jump start a car /o/?

Today my dads accord died and i jump started it with my audi. Everything worked fine and we got it running in like 2 minutes but afterwards all the electronics onmy audi started fucking up.
The automatic roll down windows stopped working and i had to unplug the batter completely and touch the two terminals together to make them work again which was pretty annoying since it took me a while to figure out that was what i had o do.

So is this normal for audis that they basically cant be donor cars for jump starting or their electronics will start fucking up or did i somehow fuck up the jump start process?

If you fuck anything up you see sparks fly, audis just tend to be like that electrically.

A safer way if you are not in a rush, is leave your audi connected to the accord battery to charge it for a while then disconnect it before he cranks the engine.
>>
Surge overload

Get proper jumper cables with surge protection and this should not be an issue

Are diesel cars still shit and unreliable? It used to be you avoided used ones like the plague in fear of problems with clutches, dual mass flywheels, EGR valves, injectors, turbos, high pressure fuel pumps etc etc

However it is fucking impossible to find a decent petrol "normal" car here in the UK. I was looking to buy a nice late 2000s / early 2010s 5 series but finding a decent 530i / 545i / 550i is almost impossible. There are loads of 530d and 535d models about, did they sort all the problems from the early to mid 2000s or are they still shit money pits waiting to financially ruin second hand buyers?

My E90 330i has been great though, put over 50k on it and it has needed nothing aside from regular servicing. It was running and driving perfectly at 160k when some twat drove into it and killed it.

I'm going to sell my FWD econobox later this year and get something fun. My wife has a mid-size sedan so I need zero practicality.

My only requirements are 0-60 under 5 seconds, and 2007 or newer and no convertibles.I'm going to give myself a $20,000 budget. Basically I want as much performance for my buck as possible. A C6 Corvette seems like the best bet.

What would you guys recommend?

Need more specifics, are you only interested in straight line speed or do you want something that is fun?

C6 is a good option, or a post-2011 Mustang GT.
Shit, with 20k cash you could get pretty much anything used you want though. M3, Terminator Cobra, Supra, R32 GTR, etc.

Personally if I had 20k I'd get a 2009+ version of pic related. bike + speed ftw

But I'm guessing you're financing hence the 2007+ premise. That's really gay.
>>
>>16726119
Lower your budget to 10-15k so you don't have to get cucked financing and buy a C5 Z06
>>
>>16726255
The C6 LS2 has a better torque curve and a more aerodynamic body than a Z06
