So I hopped in my car this morning and noticed this small crack on the front windshield. I don't know how it got their but I want to get it fixed before the problem gets worse.

I went to Safelite for a quote and they told me it'd be about $90-$118 to fix it out of pocket. Can I get it done cheaper somewhere else? I want to get it done by my insurance but I'm not sure.

That's too high if they are just repairing the spot and not replacing the windshield. Just go drive around tomorrow afternoon until you find a windshield repair EZ up in a parking lot. Some neckbeard looking dude repaired my shitbox's windshield last week for $40
>>
>>14757684
I called other places and the lowest was $65. I've never seen those windshield kiosks I've heard about.
Should I just do it myself with a $7 kit?

hey guys, potential new car buyer here.

never bought a car on my own before, anybody have suggestions tips or tricks for how to successfully haggle with a new or used car merchant?

I wan to earn the massive nose on my face and jew them hard.

so how do I pinch the pennies till they scream?

what traps should I watch for from the auto salesman?

what normally innocuous behavior should I avoid on the lot?

I'm not a pro but don't be afraid to walk away if they won't negotiate. Also they usually ask how much you wanna pay a month. Don't fall for that. The total price of the car is what you wanna focus on. And any extras they wanna throw in (floor mats, oil changes shit like that)
>>
Just don't fall in love and always be ready willing and able to walk away. Another car will come along.
>>
Text the guy 3 times asking what their lowest price is, offer $2500 less than their asking price, and offer trades of substantially lesser value to feel out how low they'll go

Depends on the car and it's safety features. Also if you're wearing a seat belt. Which if you don't you'll most likely be thrown out the front windshield and hit whatever you ran into.

Looking for a car - had a soarer that was deemed an economic write off.

Budget of around $13,000 AUS.

Wouldnt mind another jap import, looking at s15's but need the autech version as I still have a year left on my green P's.

Wouldnt mind an e46 3 coupe but not sure if I want to deal with the higher maintenance costs and economy of a 6 cyl, my soarer ate through a shit ton of fuel. 1 series perhaps...dont know.

Any ideas for a ausfag like myself?
no fucking holdens or fords pls.

Buy a literal piece of shit and drive it until you're off your Ps and you can buy what you want.

If you've written off one car on your Ps I doubt your next car is gonna last much longer.
>>
>>14755539
it was an economical write off. agreed value of the car was 5.5k, so insurance write off anything that costs 70% of the agreed value to repair. it was just a fender bender that wrecked the bonnet and front bumper.

how do i ask for the fine to be reduced and avoid points and traffic school?
anyone here been to traffic court before? what were your experiences.
Ticket is about 367 bucks + another 50 for traffic school.
Way too much for a uni fag who eats breakfast for 1 dollar a week.

Hello it's guy who wants a Trabant, the most beautiful car in the world. I'm hoping someone can help me acquire one.

Has anyone ever seen one (601) in Australia (other than the documentary)? I haven't been searching the last few months but I'm starting up again. I contacted a Canadian dealer last year but no response. I'm 99.9% sure I'll have to import one, which brings me to my next point.

Even more useful would be any Australian car enthusiasts able to tell me whether it would pass our environmental restrictions. I've taken a cursory look on the government site but that was some months ago.

Here's a nice example.
