I have never once seen a car that is owned exclusively by a female that wasn't trashed constantly.
Even cars that they borrow get trashed by them. My best bro let his gf use his car while we were in college and she constantly trashed it. He would clean it out once or twice a week and ask her each time to stop leaving food trash and Starbucks cups and every time she said she would keep it clean. He eventually stopped letting her use his car and called her parents to get them to bring her car to the school.
She trashed her car in less than 3 days then begs him to clean it out for her.

Boomers are just completely worthless in general.
They think everything they own is worth what it cost when they bought it new ifor n their 30's, and they think their dollars should have the buying power that they did when they were in their 30's.

Absolute trashheap and has never had an oil change unless she's particularly wealthy and can afford to pay someone else to do it and not feel like that was $40 better spent on a drink at Starbucks. Guaranteed to put stickers and pictures over the maintenance lights because she views them as mere suggestions and the red blinky lights annoy her. Probably also takes the batteries out of carbon monoxide detectors because the beeping gives her a headache and makes her drowsy.

Something broke in what was probably an accident or improper maintenance and the aftermarket part was cheaper and easier to get than the OEM one.

Not necessarily a red flag but I fuckin can't stand when people put "adult owned" or "adult driven" in the description. That literally means nothing, people are going to assume a car that is being sold for more than 10k is adult owned or driven. Also I know plenty of adults, including myself, that beat the shit out of their cars. Fuck off with that nonsense.

Did you drive it into your house? What is wrong with you?

Never buy a car from a mexicant. Never. I've seen these subhuman morons use old drive belts to hold up exhaust, zip ties as hose clamps, chicken wire as hose clamps, solid copper 14/2 wiring as vehicle wiring, water for coolant, hubcaps over wheels to hide broken wheel studs, clogged cooling systems from a dozen eggs. I've seen many beaner mobiles catch fire, control arms fall off, shocks hanging by one bolt. They drive their cars into the ground and they never perform any maintenance. Every fluid will leak. They won't pass any safety or emissions inspection but somehow they are still on the road (stolen plates/stickers). They roll back odometers. Avoid mexicant sellers at all costs.

Flim-flam artists and scammers try to use other details or fast talking to distract you. Or if you have a difficult question, they pretend to have to go to their cellphone. That stops your question and then they end their fake call and return to their sales pitch or start on some other topic.

>aftermarket cold air intake
The OEM air intake is usually cold air to begin with. But those aftermarket air intake mods don't want to be labeled as "less filtration air intakes" which is the accurate labeling. Instead, they hide behind "cold air intake" instead.

>>17563263
>Why do mods lower the value of a car?
Because most mods were put there out of ego or personal style of the previous owner. The new owner probably doesn't have that style. Another problem is that mods and anything they modify become uninsured parts of the car and need a modified insurance policy to add on those mods. In some cases, the insurance company refuses to add those mods for coverage without a large fee increase. Some mods are uninsurable such as fuel system mods of NOS, autocross (and other racing mods).

What's the context behind this picture?

>>17563385
>I actually saw an ad exactly like this
There are occasionally craigslist ads where the picture is of a very similar car but is not of the actual car. It's also why the license plate is sometimes covered over or edited out. Other reasons is that the car's plate might be listed or mentioned in some places as an asshole driver so they want to hide that.

See http://http://rate-driver.com/ for examples why some people want to hide their license plate. They don't want you looking up the car on any database.

Dude, for 100 bucks just rip out the seats...

>>17566695
that's so sad why did you make me imagine that anon

>>17566739
I wasn't going to bother with that. If you've ever tried to clean up the remains of a rotted animal, you would know it sticks to fucking everything. I later found a 5 speed 1997 Honda Civic for $650. After buying new spark plugs, spark plug wires, air filter, distributor cap, distributor rotor, timing belt, and an oil change it's still going strong 2 years later at 300,000 miles. Only other problem I had was the EVAP purge solenoid went bad and caused the car to stall because it was letting unmetered air into the engine. $15 part and it was a as good as new. Even decided to clean the EGR valve and it's associated parts for preventative maintenance, even though they worked fine. All and all, around $1,100 into the car (cost of car included) and it's been the best bang for my buck.

>>17566739
does not matter, you would have rip out everyting and scape the paint, then paint anew and install new interior.

We are just so sensitive to the smell of rotting meat.

>>17566695
It can be cleaned out, and you'll get new seats from somewhere, but you definitely need to remove everything. That means the dash too because it will need cleaning of biofilm behind it and off all the metal struts and support pieces behind your dash bezels.

>>17558577
that could be a good thing.

>>17558608
>tfw probably gonna write that when I sell my Civic

>>17566695
>>17566895
and for the love of god change the cabin air filter and clean the air vents all the way through

>>17566895
>It can be cleaned out
Not always. Unlike the bottom of a car, the interior has crannies that end in dead end pockets. Since it is all metal, you cannot simply get to those places and clean them. If the dog juices have gone into those crannies, you'll have a tough time pressure washing it out. You could set up a shield to stop the dirty juice spray coming out on everything as you pressure clean it, but it really is a lot of trouble.

Get a NECROPHILIAC to do the cleaning for you.

>>17566962
Well that car is long gone (hopefully to a junkyard in the middle of no where), this all happened about 2 years ago.
I found a different car not too long afterwards >>17566864
