My grandmother is getting rid of her 2008 CTS.
It's got 50k miles, in excellent condition, under warranty until 100k miles. She'd sell it to me for $6k, which I think is a complete steal.
However, I would have to pay $200 / month parking where I live, on top of insurance and maintenance. And my current job doesn't require me to a have a car, but I would need one within the next ~6 months.
Is it worth it to buy the car and pay ~$2000 for parking and insurance for 6 months, even though I wouldn't use it yet?

Sure, if you don't already have a car you'll probably use it at least on weekends or whenever you want to get out of town.

>>16407868
so long as you drove it for 15 minutes every 2 weeks and brought the engine up to operating temperature, go for it.
Those Cadillacs are really nice and those 3.6L V6s are pretty bulletproof

Why not just put it in a storage locker?

no

>>16407791
I know almost nothing about cars, sorry...
What is the problem with the automatic DX?
>>
>>16407799
I wouldnt pay that much for it
if it was a mint HF or Si then yeah
DX just isnt a desirable trim and Honda autos are awful
Subaru guys... I could use some advice.
Recently I had to do a transmission swap on my 06 WRX. I ended up getting a JDM forester XT transmission with a legacy rear diff.
There has been a significant change in the torque due to my final drive ratio change... but I don't think that would be the cause of slipping of my clutch.
I had to do a push type to pull type conversion of the clutch... but the shop i took it to did not resurface my flywheel for the new exedy clutch that i got.
It started slipping at 700 miles in.
Could this be because the flywheel doesn't perfectly match the 02-05 WRX clutch?
What flywheel could i use in the ej25 to match the 02-05 clutch?

Yes.

>>16407259
You should have just replaced it with a stock one or an sti tranny.
Or built the wrx tranny but you chose to go through with this headache.
>>
>>16407439
yeah it was a shitty attempt at saving money.
The JDM tranny was like $1k but a stock tranny would have costed about $2.5k or more.

I have a question about a court incident I have coming up after my neighbors hit my car. Short version is, they hit me 8 times while my car was in a parking lot over a couple of months and I have to prove it was them.
I have two witness statements but my insurance didn't even call one of them to verify, claiming they were a friend of mine and didn't count. But he isn't a friend, he is a coworker.
My question is about his statement for court. We are going to get it notarized in the next few days. He basically says he doesn't remember the exact model but gives a description of the vehicle and it matches. He doesn't remember the neighbor who hit me other than the fact it was a fat woman who walked with a limp.
Then, he mentions in his statement that my insurance company never contacted him, AND he doesn't wish to be contacted by the opposing party for any reason. He has also refused to provide his contact information on the witness statement, but gives me permission to give his contact info directly to my insurance if they wish to inquire later on.
Is this normal? Will this make this harder on me?
What information does he need to make sure to include that he hasn't already? What is your experience in crap like this?

Don't think that's going to work in court. The woman (and/or her insurance agency) has the right to question witnesses.
Is your insurance company refusing your claim?
>>
Just make sure you have a good lawyer
If it doesn't work out just attack her with a mask on and put her in daily pain and there'll be no proof
So revenge settled
>>
>>16407037
Yes, they claim I don't have proof, even though their paint is on my car, the measurements line up perfectly, and I have two witnesses who have seen it. One being the coworker, another being my roommate. My insurance claims both have moral obligations and are not valid witnesses. No other neighbors have seen it happen.

I want to let me mum drive one of my cars so she can get rid of her shitty sentra she is paying 400+ monthly for.
Thing is me mum has arthritis and has a horrible time trying to disengage the handbrake.
Is there anything I can do to either car to make the handbrake easier to disengage (FiST or S2000)
Or should I just go out and buy a used auto shitbox for her?
