Ok /o/. Let's see if anyone has some /biz/ experience.
I have three options/potential investment careers. Two friends of mine said they wish to start a mechanic shop. We would focus on general repairs and services. I've looked at a few business plans, ran some numbers and although I have enough money to start it, I'm not sure I have enough money to stay afloat for more than 6 months in the event we are unsuccessful. I could always take out a business loan to ease the burden on my own finances. But I would still be in debt at that point and am always concerned about that route. There is more to option one, here, but I'm going to tell you about option 2 first.
The second idea was actually mine. I've been wanting to import cars from other countries and sell them here for two years now. There are some laws but I’ve read up on it and know what I can and can't import. We would focus on European and Japanese imports. A later goal would also to focus on importing Domestic muscle out of the US as I've found a market for this, too. Importing to the US, I would bring them in, stick a price tag on them, and flip them in as-is condition. I have found a few reputable dealers across the waters to start with, but eventually the goal would be for me to station myself or a couple guys in each country and save myself some additional fees by doing the initial finding work myself. I've crunched the numbers and incorporated a huge loss margin in case I missed something (which I may have since I've not done this before, only extensively read up on it). I would still be making a huge profit on each sell, even if I missed some major fees or got my cars held up in customs.

The third option. It is basically a combination of the two. We would open up an import dealership, starting small at first. Website, social media, videos to draw in a crowd, and SEO the shit out of everything (I’d do this for each option above, too). We would sell additional warranties in-house and help people work on their cars as they break them, showing more interest in repairing and turning track/show oriented cars. This could help drive repeat service and not have us rely so heavily on either side of the business to make money. The problem with this is, I'd only have the money for maybe 2-4 months pending on the cars we buy. The good news on this, though, because we are relying on selling cars rather than selling maintenance, it is likely we would sell the vehicles for profit faster than we would have to wait until we built up a crowd of customers. My buddies like this idea and want to build fast track cars and go all-out on some of them and possibly sell them for much more race-ready profits.
I would focus on the west coast, but would still ship to anywhere in the US.
So my question to /o/ is, have you ever done this before, what's your experience, advice, should I go for it? I think each idea has potential if we start small, but personally, I like the importing vehicles method much more than relying on a repeat customer base from a mechanic shop. I know starting a business is more complicated than this and I’m only discussing the tip of the iceberg so feel free to ask questions and I’ll respond.

Ok, so...
tl:dr: Should I start a mechanic shop, start importing cars, or a combination of both for a career change/better investment? Give advice and experience please.

Let's say that I created an engines that does not run on gasoline and requires no refueling or recharging. However the car is modeled after the land yacht in pic related, but it does have basic modern features like gps, Bluetooth etc. would it sell?

Bought a crown vic interceptor from Canada Post by auction. It was sold to me at 150,000 but had 190,000. I am awaiting their answer on what they can do to compensate me. If they refuse to help I will likely take them to small claims court. How much is an extra 40k worth in maintenance? Oil, transmission flush, filters, bearings, engine wear, callipers, etc?

Your going to lose that lawsuit unless you bought it from a dealer. Either way the seller can claim that they weren't aware.
>>
>>17285305
I have a screenshot and physical copy of the bill of sale and original page so their is evidence of the original number.

>>17285306
Was it from a dealer or a private seller? Does it claim "being sold as is?"
If so, you might be fucked.

Looking to buy/lease a brand new car.
Things I'm looking for in the car are:
Sedan, rear wheel drive or all wheel drive, petrol engine, a nice interior, ventilated seats if not for all passengers at least for the front row.
This is for Europe.
At the moment I'm stuck looking at a Mercedes-Benz C300 sedan but I read that they depreciate really hard.

This is a beautiful car, but is it worth the $95,000 price tag? The F-Type Jag seems like a better option for the price. What's your opinion?

I personally think the design of the Lexus is better, but the F-Type is definitely better performance wise from what I can tell.

Need new tires for my S2000. I'm highly considering Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I can get them in the stock staggered fitment for $795 shipped which is actually less than what I paid for my last set of ADVAN Neovas. I've used Bridgestone, Kumho, and ADVAN before but never Michelin. What is /o/'s impression of Michelin in general and the PSS specifically for those who have driven a car with them? I'm looking for something that's racy, but won't make me shit my pants every time I see a puddle (like my AD08Rs).

PSS is known to be a pretty good tire (though is being replaced by Pilot Sport 4). However, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 is a re-branded Bridgestone that is roughly 8/10 of a PSS at two thirds the price. I've heard great things about wet grip as well.

> bought my first manual a year ago after owning 4 automatics since 17 (Car now is 02 Subaru Legacy L Wagon)
> manual has taken control of my life
> want to find a chevy k1500 pickup with 5.7 v8 and 5 speed manual transmission
> almost non existent or high miles or out of my 5k budget
This is my end game of all future vehicle purchases, something I want to call my baby and keep for a long time and drive for as long as I can.
I test drove my co-worker's k1500, but it had a v6. Compared to my Subaru, i found it better to drive than my Subaru. I cant imagine what a v8 would do better than the v6 did.
If I bought a high mileage k1500 with high speed, would an engine rebuild help sustain performance and reliability? Otherwise, I'll have to be patient.
> tl:dr
Buy Chevy k1500 pickup with high milles then rebuild an engine, or wait for a low mileage one to pop up?
