Why isn't Canada into making cars for the people like all the other countries do?

I need to sell my car asap. Going to be listing it on craigslist and am kind of scared of the entire process. Never sold a car on there.

Any advice from those who have sold cars on craigslist before? I know I should buy a counterfit pen but what else should I be looking out for?

Google it.

it's common sense to not get scammed on craigslist.

meet in a public place
don't sell your car to someone you've never met in person

that's pretty much it
>>
>>14061931

It is pretty much common sense.

No paypal or international buyers sending cheques.

Deal with bank drafts, cash, and certified cheques only.

Just remember, first one with the cash wins. Don't "hold a car" for someone unless they give a cash deposit and make it very clear that it's non-refundable ($50-$100 is reasonable imo).

Get ready to deal with people emailing offering shitty trades and less than half the value. Don't reply to them at all, just delete them.

Get ready to have 5 people make all sorts of big plans to meet you and then just disappear like ghosts when the time to meet arrives. Craigslist is full of these garbage people.

If you have "obo" in the price, expect people to haggle and not pay full price. It stands for "or best offer". I'm genuinely surprised how many sellers just put this in the ad and are shocked when I offer less than asking price.

You in NJ, OP? My sebring died so ive been shopping. In any case, get a google voice number to minimize spam. Take well lit pictures. Include mileage. If you leave your license plate in the photos I WILL carfax that shit. If it doesnt match i will not even call. Accidents arent the end of the transaction, be honest with honest people. Be polite but firm. Dont let anyone jerk you around. If you arent getting calls its because the price is shit for the car. And never forget, it's just business.

Good luck homie

Yeah he's showing some skill (or dumb luck) the way he baits the cop to ram him and fishtails around him to cross him up. He also knew the bottom of that fence was loose plus the cop was too much of a pussy to go under it after him.

Wrong.
All cars come with a driveshaft but you have to modify the fuses to switch the power input from FWD to RWD

Sup /o/, have a question for any mechanics or otherwise super capable car buffs here.

I have a 2006 Kia Spectra EX. Had an issue with the driver front turn signal socket breaking and not allowing the bulb to make good contact: the light stopped working.

So being the bright guy I am, I decided to get a more generic socket and wire it up.

Now the bulb works when the running lights/head lights are on, but the turn signal/hazards don't work. They don't indicate on the dash and the lights don't blink.

Is it a relay? I looked at the fuse and it looked good, but I'll also try replacing that before I try to replace the relay. The real kicker is that this car doesn't have just a turn signal relay, but I think it has a body control module instead. :-S

Pic semi-related, year model of Spectra after mine.

Solution: sell it and buy a car that isn't Korean.
>>
>>14061558

I'm no electrical wizard but could it be that the aftermarket socket uses more draw than the last one?

I don't know if it's the relay because then wouldn't the signal lights stop working too?

Do you think it might be the switch itself?
>>
>>14061601
That's gonna happen very soon, never fear. Just need to get it to limp along til then.

>>14061619
Maybe it does use more draw. If that's the case I'm gonna have to go to a salvage yard and get another one from a similar car.

Could also be the switch... I'd like to replace cheapest parts first.

Went to a dealer to take care of my ignition system recall on my cobalt 2007. After they did it, the buttons on the steering wheel stopped working.( into and enter) Now they say that what they did is completely unrelated to this new problem, and that they will gladly take a look at it, but they will have to charge me if the problem proves to be unrelated. 110$/h... I don't trust them. I'm not an expert on cars, so how can I prove that it's related?

Offer to call GM corporate for them.

Well it was working before you took it to them right? Just tell them it's bullshit and that you either want your money back or that they are going to fix it.

If they continue to be shady, cut your losses and do the shit yourself. It's just an ignition switch.
>>
By calling their bullshit. You have documents proving that work was performed, in the same area where stuff is now going wrong

OH WOW THERE'S A CAR ACCIDENT ON THE SIDE OF ROAD LETS ALL SLOW DOWN FOR NO REASON AND LOOK AT IT PLEASE DON'T GO TOO FAST OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT HIT THE CARS ON THE S I D E O F T H E R O A D GOD FORBID YOU DON'T SLOW DOWN FOR NO FUCKING REASON BECAUSE IT'S NO LIKE EVERYBODY HAS SOMEWHERE TO GO YEAH SURE LOOK FLASHING LIGHTS OH WOW A COP CAR JESUS FUCK JUST SLOOOOOOW DOWN FOR NOOOOOO REASON WHY ARE YOU EVEN FUCKING ALIVE HOW ABOUT YOU GO THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT YOU FUCK WHY ARE YOU SLOOOWING DOOOOWN FUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

It's for the workers. It can be dangerous for them to be working on the side of the road with cars flying by at full speed very close to them. In my state there's actually a law requiring you to slow down if there is an emergency vehicle stopped with its lights on.

Stop being such an autistic faget

The irony here is whoever took that picture contributed to the problem. Also, that's why in Jersey when I'm not driving my truck I still go to the truck lanes because those guys are all working and have somewhere to be, so you always see the truck lanes minimally slowing down to look at accidents, while the car lanes are dead fucking stopped because a trooper has someone pulled over.

pump the accelerator a few times or hold it down for a few seconds? I have an old classic car that is non-fuel injected so each morning I have to primp the engine with fuel to start the car. I have a Q-Jet Carb. I always pump it a few times and then start the car and it starts up fine but I also heard that if you hold the pedal down all the way for about 3-5 seconds and release and then do it again for another 3-5 seconds then start the car that works too? Also. after the car sits for a while, lets sat an hour the gas in the carb goes back to the tank and you have to hold the pedal to the floor and crank the starter to force start it and rev it once? How do you cold start your classic?

I turn the key.
>>
>>14061163
So, that means your is fuel-injected?
>>
>>14061118

I press the pedal to the floor and let it up, then start the truck. It sits for weeks at a time in the garage and never really acts up, but it does crank for a few seconds if its the first start in a while.

Pressing the pedal down with a qjet will force the booser pump to squirt out its fuel into the intake, but once the carb is drained from doing that you need the fuel pump to be running to refill it.

What's the problem with this? Ranger does it, it's a way to determine if a wrx 5 speed is still on good condition.
