What planet are they on?
>>16171741
Isn't this that Trump girl
>>16171753
Maybe.
>>16171741
ok iphone poster i will try to explain this for your busrider brain
they mean the power delivery on the stingray makes it more enjoyable than the Z06
where it comes too quickly /abruptly and the extra power you get is not that enjoyable in the end
What is your approach when buying from a dealer? Does it differ if you're buying new or used?
Do you take the "look asshole, I'm not playing your game" approach? Or do you take the more passive approach and let them do their thing?
What are some general do's and don'ts'? I heard you should never tell them your price range. I know in the sticky it says avoid having them drive the car up to you for test driving, what else do you do? Do you always haggle the price down, even just on principle?
I can barely decide on year and trim. The model next year could look better...
>>16171721
Niga u high? Are you saying you let the dealer pick your trim?
Some cars you won't really be able to haggle down, because there's too high a demand for them. The common halo cars, like GT350 Mustangs and WRXs and M2s and such will typically have a dealer allotment, which means that you're not gonna get anything taken off besides maybe a few minor accessories/options.
Google the four square dealer trick so you won't fall for it.
Some tips:
Don't get bait and switched.
If you're young, wear a fucking collared shirt and slacks for once in your life if you want to be treated like an adult by the dealer.
Call the dealer beforehand to make sure they have what you want, and make an appointment. Don't drive for half an hour to some bumfuck dealership and have them try to sell you a different product than the one you're interested in.
Anons, please help.
OP is about to spend substantial amount of money on a 2008, 3.5 l Dodge Charger. The vanilla one. The thing is that I've read a lot of conflicting reviews about it, some say it is a God's gift to car industry and some say it has lots of engine / electrics problems. What gives and who to believe? Should I buy it, or dump the idea of Murican wheels and just buy a Honda?
>dodge
>>16171352
They're shit. Especially with the V6. Just buy a civic.
>>16171352
The 3.5 wasn't a bad engine, but to be honest if you want a V6 Charger, you should see if you can afford a newer one with the Pentastar V6, much better engine overall
So you faggots still think 'Stangs are slow huh?

nobody here thought mustangs are slow.
going fast in a straight line is the only thing mustangs are good at if we don't count crashing into pedestrians

Why don't other manufactures put available AWD on all their cheaper cars like Subaru?
Like Toyota could give their Corolla an AWD system. etc
>>16170672
because awd is a meme.
>>16170672
Who even needs awd? Unless you live in bumfuck nowhere and you get actual winters, there's no need.
I'm Canadian and I've owned awd and I prefer driving rwd year round. Most people who own awd vehicles, have no legitimate need for an awd vehicle.
>>16170772
I live in a place with actual winters and FWD manages just fine
Ok /o/ how can i explain to my knuckle head friend that cars corner better than motorcycles? he got a r1 and he doesnt even have his bike license yet (great starter bike right). He understands that cars have better brakes and traction but is still in denial
>>16170356
Bump
>>16170356
Don't bother explaining. Just take a measure of his body witout him noticing, because the body might be too mangled after the imminent crash.
Bikes are lighter and have a shorter wheelbase. You can also lean into a corner on a bike. I find it pretty hard to believe that cars corner better than bikes.

if you're buying a meme, you might as well get the Trueno, it's just a shitbox anyway
>>16170197
Not too bad of a deal if its in good shape and if its a real 86 the the DOHC engine
Sure people overprice stuff, but people on /o/ don't seem to grasp the concept of supply and demand. There's not a lot of 86's left, and a lot of people like them, so there's going to be a premium
>>16170336
Its a shitbox meme ok
only dagumi makes it look good

also its the best car for all your tofu delivery needs
Can someone please explain in the most simple terms what a cam belt and water pump does?
>>16170086
Your cam is connected to your crank so it turns when the crank does.
A belt connected to the cam will turn that in this case a water pump will turn making water circulate throughout the engine and keeping it cool.
>>16170086
Waterpump pumps water
Cambelt belts cam

What the fuck is the point in spending $10,000 USD on a fucking used car?
You're either going to get a piece of shit SUV with around 100,000 miles on it that's 10 years old or a fucking gimp sedan or coupe that's 5 years old and has around 60,000 on it.
You may as well say fuck it and spend $15k and get a decent fucking car that's got decent mileage on it and is only 2 - 5 years old or you either spend 5k and buy a fucking 12 - 15 year old piece of shit with sub 100k on it that will prolly last about 3 years max.
What the fuck. 10k is the wankest of budgets lads.

Hi need help!
What would cause the rear end of a car to wobble when parked?
If I stand in front of rear left wheel and push the car towards the right wheel, the whole rear end will basically shimmy and wobble right very easily.
wtf?
SC400.
>>16169268
Struts.
>>16169281
This, replace your shocks/struts
>>16169281
>>16169290
U think?
Coz I have the japanese sc400 (uzz31) and it has airbag suspension. The two fronts are dumped, and not pumping but compressor works.
I bought 4 new struts (springs) to go on tomorrow.
The back airbag suspension is the only ones staying up though... U sure its struts and not a sway bar or somethin??
What can cause this?
