Sorry you have a small penis, my condolences.

>>16093875
Thank goodness I'd actually be able to check out the car before buying it.

>>16094031
Thank goodness my ass can cover most major faults in a vehicle for up to 100 miles and you'll be none the wiser.
Face it, if you're asking /o/ you don't know jack shit anyway.

>>16093531
Front end looks ugly as fuck. Would not bang/10

>>16093531
other than the Alfa grill, it looks like a Hyundai and will probably be built like shit

>>16093531
Looks great. It's hard to believe that anyone would find a McMustang to be even remotely aesthetically tolerable when we have cars like this in existence.
Makes you think, huh?

we need a sticky so people stop asking this question.

You have the internet at the touch of your fingers yet you come to this vietnamese basket weaving forum for advice on importing a car.

Something tells me you are underage and playing pretend because if you were serious you wouldnt be here

Yeah, a sticky would be helpful.

Also, thanks for actually replying with some helpful links, looks like there is a positive to attentionwhoring tripfags :^)

Thanks m8.

Go for it. It's not my money.

>>16092795
Bet you won't

On a purchase that huge that you are going to have to pick up or arrange your own shipping on anyway it's probably best to contact the seller directly and save both of you the fees. Plus eBay iis kind of hard to negotiate through.

How about you back off on the Micra talk, fella

>>16092607
The knowledgeable trips got tired of 14 year old bus riders and left.
We used to have a lot of skilled builders. I myself rarely post here- such a small percentage care about anything other than "my shitbox my mommy gave me is better than your shitbox" that its a waste of my time.

>>16092607
All the good posters mostly left as the shitposters got more active. I don't know why I'm still here.

Bump

>>16092387
literally why? it's a fancy expedition. shit mpg.

if you need to tow, get a truck, if you need to haul people, get a minivan.

>>16092387
Why do you want one over any other SUV. DO you need a lot of space? Why not save $10k and just get the Expedition?

well they ain't gonna get any easier meanwhile parts will remain plentiful for decades to come so look harder

Flush or replace your radiator, replace the thermostat too while you're at it

Check and see if your fan is coming on too

>>16092044
Check for dead animals and garbage stuck in front of the radiator.

Change thermostat and flush the coolant, do a good long flush. A monkey can do this OP.
Start your car, let it heat up and check if there is smoke when the gauge pegs to high, if there is, turn it off immediately. If not, check to see if Engine fan comes on. If not, replace.
This shouldn't cost more than 100$ if you DIY

Things went right, rather

nothing
it all went according to the master plan
i'd much rather have an xe over a c180 or a base model 3 series

they stopped looking like jaguars and look like everything else

How long's a piece of string?
It's better to have an idea where you want it to end up, and start buying what ever you need to complete the whole build whenever something comes up cheap or on sale.

>>16091874

handling first, 9/10 times.

First be sure your vehicle is in tip top condition. As it will be a 20 year old shitbox, throw in new oil, filters, spark plugs, belts and shit to be sure the engine works as it should.

Then replace suspension as it will be shot, pick a sporty one. Replace tyres as they will be old, pick sticky ones.

Bum, just putting your car in working condition has improved handling. Now consider what >>16091878 said.

It's hard to see real gains in power without bigger engines or forced induction, handling is a whole variety of things to consider at assorted price points.

What you prioritize is honestly dependent on what you want the vehicle to be capable of.

>Korean

Gross.

>>16091803
Chick car, no. Mom-mobile yes.

All korean cars are made for girls. Men usually know enough about cars to stay clear of them.

Buy yourself a manly ass hatchback made by Honda or VW.

>>16091752
Do it. Do it right now.

Have the courage and strength that I never had and buy one of these beauties.

>>16091752
>Try talking me out of it.

Italian reliability.

>>16091769
That's a forced meme. If you ever had an Italian car, you know they're reliable.

>>16091724
like being thrown about by big wave at the beach
in how it is slow then sudden and a little out of control

with the high torque v8 you have to be careful with how the power builds
in low rpm treat the throttle like a sponge on top of a banana peel
then after the power has come on and loaded up the tires and suspension you can push the throttle all the way down

v8 that rev high above 6000 rpm can be a bit like high speed L4 or L6
nothing for ages then a big kick that you have to be ready for

>>16091724
That pic is why we voted out of the EU, they're fucking retarded liberals.
