This is like a Michael Bay movie in real life

I've never jacked my car up to change the oil. How large are you? You can do it bud.

Anytime I contemplate taking a vehicle to the local mechanic to get something done I remind myself how stupid everyone who works there is. If they can do it, you can do it.

Always give the car the shake test before crawling underneath.

You must have a ton of ground clearance. I can't even fit the drain pan underneath without jacking the car up.

In that unlikely event, yes I would buy

No you don't.

make sure the title matches their id and they're not "selling it for someone" or some other fishy story

have it inspected by a mechanic before you negotiate or pay

Always bring a friend, negotiate on the price, and feel free to walk away at any time. Or don't learn from my past mistakes and buy a lemon. Watch this, it's a good starting point. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=vC8LbvYk6es&list=PLv

get a pre purchase inspection if you have no clue what you are doing.

ask the seller not to start the car before you get there.

be weary off those scumbags who post under the "for sale by owners" section but are actually used dealer scum. Ive gone through this a couple times and the cars were absolutely junk. pic related a '99 subaru forester that was for sale. dude said it only needed new bushings thinking I wasnt going to check below. lol

To my next point. Always look under car for rust, assuming you are in an area where cars rust.

When making an offer, if you arent embarrassed by your first offer, then it isnt low enough. If the seller declines your first offer tell em to make you a counter offer, or just make a slightly higher offer.

I know it sound jewish as fuck but you want to walk away with your pockets not hurtin, you feel me?

>make sure the title matches their id and they're not "selling it for someone" or some other fishy story

this as fuck. I almost bought an '07 Subaru Forester for $4k. The carfax was clean as a whistle and so was the car but the dude was sketchy as fuck and it was reigstered in another state talking about how he's selling it for a friend lol.

Use common sense. If it isnt feeling right, don't pull the trigger.

no mention of vice grips

Spanner wrench in the in the holes. rig one up. Your best bet.

>>16333569
This when in doubt vice grips get some liquid wrench to lubricate the threads.

How does posting a picture lead to it being stolen?

when american companies stop designing their cars to look like transformers

and when they stop slapping on racey aero bits

americans don't know how to wind tunnel

>>16333536
When GM stops lowering the bar knowing the govt will bail them out.

The German meme thing is already known, but people still buy German because it's a bit more exclusive

there, that should cover the basics. Pic unrelated.

Buy a Civic and shut the fuck up

Charger is great but go for the R/T trim. V8 is a lot more powerful and more torque which means great cruising, better passing power. Will hold its value in the long term.

>>16333220
Not looking for a compact econobox faggot

>>16333226
I'll look more into the R/T trim, what are some other similar vehicles that you could recommend?

Short answer is no

Long answer is for 40k you could fully restore and modify three trucks like that. You could buy a truck, drop it off at a shop and sign some papers and pick up your truck when it's done and still have cash left over

Pic related is 6 grand worth of trucks and the middle one is even a one ton cummins

>>16333049
Fine as long as they've been thoroughly THOROUGHLY inspected and check out completely. Also say goodbye to resale value.

>>16333081
As someone with a rebuilt, this. I got fucked because this really overpriced shop wrote my car off and my insurance wouldn't take a quote for another, very reputable shop that fixed my car is 100%

Only worth what someones willing to pay. Usually not worth it.
