Hello, /o/. Tell me, how would you go about negotiating this car down to at most $2500? Pic related is the image he sent of the bumper.
???
getting him 500 down from 3000 to 2500 shouldn't be much of a problem.
just stroll around the car in person and find shitty things about it and tell him how shitty that shit is you saw and the seller didn't mention in the description
>>16422765
Honestly it's not that shitty. Pic related is interior. I'd like to get it to like $2200 since KBB says $1968 for good condition. Do I mention the KBB or just tell him to his face that it ain't worth $3000? I'm kinda afraid to do that because I just know that there's some faggot around here willing to pay 3k for that car and he does too.
Check soft top for leaks, tears, wearing thin.
Try to argue that the rice headlights and taillights indicate it's been hooned
>tfw modern cars make it awkward and/or uncomfortable to have your arms on the door
Literally EVERYTHING nice about cars gets taken away bit by bit.
Modern people like to be encapsulated in their little save spaces and they're scared of big windows

Then get an old car.

wow. that's fucking sick
Can we get a thread for old car ads and magazine articles.
So what is the best new semi-luxury sedan for ~$45k? Is Audi a meme? Is it best to look at Acura/Lexus? Or maybe just get the highest line Camry?
>>16420574
>Is Audi a meme?
yes
Luxury: Lexus
Muh driving dynamics and some luxury: BMW (F30 is kind of a shit though)

How do you keep your liquor stored in your car, /o/?
I'm thinking of getting a small wood chest to store a few glasses and a few bottles, but I cant seem to find many options aside from building my own...
They'd have to be brand new all the time to be legal. Making a humidor would be easier and legal.

You don't have emergency Scotch in your trunk?
I have a 1996 jeep zj in auto that is giving me a pretty big headache.
a little background first:
-overheated twice this summer because i think i have a bad radiator clog but I did a shitty ghetto flush before it overheated the 2nd time.
-i've also replace the iac and tps sensors for previous idle issues which gave me a check engine light.
-had some transmission issues that got fixed at a tranny shop.
>now
It would not start unless i cranked the engine while pumping the gas peddle but after i swapped my battery with a friends, it started right up.
-as soon as i put it into gear to reverse out of the parking space, the idle dropped down to a super low lever to the point where it was bouncing up and down from the very bottom of the tach.
could it be that one of the iac or tps crapped out on me? or maybe it's the alternator or the battery connection, which is pretty cracked.
i'm asking here because I have no idea where to start and i've been out of a car for a couple months now riding my motorcycle to and from work.
>>16419256
check engine light?
Torque converter
The guys at the transmission place didn't get everything put back together tightly enough, probably.
Look for a vacuum leak, usually the line running to the fuel pressure regulator.
Got yourself a new car, new tools, new parts?
Done some work on your beloved automobile lately?
Show it off here!
Put in a rear-view camera & mounted two small LED lights on the rear of my Hilux yesterday & today
which rear view camera did you get?

Wireless one from Biltema, scandic version of Harbor Freight
Wireless, super quick to engage, easy to setup, no interference, 7" screen and very nice price
I just bought this intake and carb over the last few weeks, add some headers as well
Pizza delivery thread. I've seen a few threads before by people that deliver and they don't make bad money for how easy it is. I'm a broke college student and I need a better paying job. If anyone is here that has experience, would domino's or papa john's pay better for delivery?
Work as a pizza delivery guy for sixth months or so, then work your way up into the taxi business.
I deliver pizzas right now though my van broke down completely (not the job's fault) so now I'm trying to save up enough money for a beater. I have about $1100 saved up and that's from my paychecks and tips from the past 3 weeks or so.
Did it for a year
All your coworkers will be degenerate drug addicts or alcoholics.
Good money, but surprisingly stressful.
>the same few impoverished, angry and hateful african americans scam calls often

'we've flagged your account for consistent complaints, therefore we literally triple check your food, there was nothing wrong with it.'
>yea well fucc u den lemme talk to ur boss bitch imma git u fired
then there's the favoritism 'cause the place is run by dudes in their mid 20's who hate everyone
All the chicks get whatever shift they want and you're stuck working 10+ hours
I applied as part time on weekends and my first week was 56 hours
If you're in a busy town, you'll get literally as much overtime as they can give you
Go with Papa Johns - their pizzas are more expensive and therefore they have less impoverished african american customers.
Which is better?
>>16408871
neither.
The B-body cars were faster and had better engines
but the Panthers were better handling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVTz2lSePSw
>>16408879
Panthers overall. GM B-Bodies were unbeatable if they came with the 5.7L, but pretty rare to find a Caprice or Impala SS with a 5.7L, most of them came with a V6. Panthers were far more reliable thanks to the 4.6L being bullet proof and had much better handling. Crown Vics are dime in a dozen, and I'll be damned if someone could not find a part at an auto store or junkyard.
>>16408898
>most of them came with a V6
91-96 Caprices were V8 only.
early on there was a 305 5.0L but it was quickly killed off. 94-96, there was a 4.3L L99 V8 (basically a 283 LT1), or the 5.7L LT1

I don't have anything for you to run. Instead, how about you tell us about your LS400? How did you get it? Do you like it? Is there anything you would change about it?
Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Thread
I've got an '87 240 that doesn't charge the battery. However, it will run just fine if I jump it, then not start again. The alternator was replaced earlier this year. Should I be suspecting the alternator or wiring somewhere? Battery is brand new
>>16384054
Use a voltmeter and make sure the voltage on the battery is ~14V with the engine running.
If it's not, then check the voltage on the alternator output lug.
If that's higher than battery voltage you have an issue in the wiring.
If it's at battery voltage the alternator is shit.
also there's a fairly young /QTDDTOT/ over here >>16378625
>>16384202
thanks. turns out the wire going from the alternator to the battery warning light was disconnected, which meant the battery didn't charge. simplest fix of my life
for toyotas, is the 9006 a daytime running light? I'm planning to upgrade it to a led, but all those numbers is confusing me

Well I was supposed to go to six flags magic mountain in California today but my wife isnt up for it due to time of the month.... she's down to hit some trails In our new bronco though, so I'm about to go break this thing in
>>16377778
That night being stuck in the ice fields of -1 degree weather reminded me that I need to keep at least 5litres of fuel in my toolbox, two cans of cod liver, and a sack of tea candles. Good I did it close enough to my hous because in the moment, you don't even want to drive (dribe) one more minute that necessary.
That's a reminder to all snowrollers and especially
S L U S H R O L L I N G
faggots out there who happen to be cause in this unseasonable warm weather. I blame the swamp.
Maxtrax has always done little for me in the aforementioned terrain condition. They aren't meant for light / wet snow. At least, without the aid of some rocks or trees for added friction. But at that point, it's just easier using the winch. On my 2wd Colorado, we had these little boots that you would place over your actual wheels that would dig into the earth. Kinda like that simpsons episode where Homer drives his car with the parking enforcement boot over it. Metal chains help too and are cheaper tbbh fampaii
