Has anyone here sold a car online recently? It's always been a shitty experience even when times were good but now it's just a fucking nightmare. People are just flat out broke with no cash at all, yet tirekickers still want to waste your time and fish you along, it's frustrating!
>>27664903You could also buy a 500sqft flat for ~15K if you don't mind the risk of the housing company going bankrupt and losing your apartment.
>>27664441if your car is still technically worth over 10k then yeah it's gonna be tough, keep driving your car for longer until it's a beater, saves you more money in the endsold shtity 2013 hyunda elantra with over 150k km mileage on facebook market place for like 5.5k cad buyer came with cash, tried to haggle but there was literally someone else right there who was also itnerested so he fomo'd and frankly it was cheap enough sicne comps were like 7kjust wanted to get rid of the garbagethe elantra was like 15k CAD new back then, it's such a weird environment now that buying new was a better deal and probably still is even nowhaving to pay "high" interest rates on financing of 4% or whatever doesnt really matter when you can get like savings rate of 5% sometimes even 6% off a bank
>>27664911If you need a car right now and have no cash the lease deals on EVs are crazy because they're not moving. Can get a Model 3 for $249/month delivered to your door. I'm not the resident /o/ EVtroon but a cheap car is a cheap car if you're that hard up.
Okay so I'm sure many of you have done the Tacoma math and said that ain't worth it. Maybe you said I'll get a Ford Maverick or you know the Nissan Frontiers are going for under sticker. I analyzed it all. One thing I've noticed lately is that you got to look at the numbers. The numbers are right now favoring buying a used Honda CRV or similar. Ones with 50k to 80k miles are going for under 15k. If you wrench and can change a belt and plugs then this is the way to go. What does this have to do with a truck? So you put a hitch on that Honda and you buy a cheap harbor freight folding 4x8 utility trailer. That gives you a lot of capability at a good price. Best I can come up with. Or just continue to play the pic related game.
>>27664449yeah good luck with that one bud
Bought a vehicle recently. It's been sitting in storage for about a year and I'm it has some kind of growth in it. Places like under the driver seat and a few of the seat belts have these brown and white circular patches of varying levels of fuzziness.I went through this morning with a vacuum, wiped down all the spots I could find, and sprayed lysol throughout it. But I fear that's probably not going to be enough so I was wondering what else I should be doing. There's also a couple of other things like a bunch of dead bugs in the back windscreen that are behind something so the vacuum can't reach them and a smell that had gotten into the upholstery
>>27664781
>>27664760>moldshits fucked. Both of these >>27664767 >>27664773 are right. You wanna remove everything and wet vac all the fabric parts. Use Gyeon Fabriccleaner on all textile surfaces and scrub that shit in with a coarse brush. After that you just wipe it with rags and repeat the Fabriccleaner process as many times as you need. For leather pieces same shit but you want to get something that specializes in leather care and brush much lighter than with textiles. For plastics/trims you can find any interior cleaning stuff, lightly brush that shit in and then wipe it with dry rags.
>>27664760Watch out for dead bodies underneath everything >>27664781>time capsule from the land before aids.Based and comfy
>>27664760I'd remove the seats and battery and pressure wash everything.

Why would I buy anything but a Toyota? Americuck car owners need not reply
>>27663286>BMW 3rd>Mercedes lastGeez, I knew Mercedes reliability shit the bed in recent years but being so far behind their n°1 rival is impressive
>>27663286I'll never buy a soulless appliance no matter how reliable it is.
>>27663286Toyotas are boring. They don't make a single interesting car. The supra is a bmw. The GR86 is a subaru. The GR corolla is a $40,000 (plus markup) hot hatch (overpriced, therefore not interesting)

>elon commands you to do some wild publicity stunt like showing how cybertruck is faster while towing a porsche than a porsche>you pick the slowest porsche possible>you modify the trailer>tesla loses anyway so you don't show the actual race, still claim tesla won>youtubers run the experiment proper and prove tesla can't wingreat video exposing tesla lies
why isn't this getting more attention? is everybody so used to tesla lying that nobody even bats an eye anymore?
>>27663654Cybertruck is faster and less expensive than Porsche
>>27664772Porsche has longer range so check and mate
>>27663874The fact that it was close and won a few of the races really doesn’t excuse Porsche IMo. And I’m a lifelong Porsche fag. First, the 911 isn’t necessarily designed to go fast in a straight line and drag races are lame anyway. But the 911 >$110k for a base model with nothing >mcdonalds >no lsd >brake vectoring is an up charge >rouglybas fast as an M340i >C8 Z51 is going to be ~80k for a super nice one with track ready options and GTS level performanceIt’s really not acceptable and a big fucking cyber truck towing one and the race being close enough that some debate is active about wether it really did it says all you need to know about the state of Porsche. It’s a cash grab operation

>With a hint of exaggeration we can say that cars today are made to completely disintegrate the moment the warranty expires. The car producers don’t even want to make good cars; they just want to make money, so they make absolute crap that looks very nice and is very comfortable, and is very “environmentally friendly”, and then when a few years have gone by they want you to buy a new one (and the “environmentally friendly” car that they spent a lot of polluting energy to produce becomes polluting garbage). There is more money for them to do it this way than it is for them to make good cars.>Another problem with modern cars is the one you as a consumer have when it breaks down (and it will, at least when the warranty expires). It is close to impossible to fix anything in a modern car. You can barely change tyres yourself, and you can certainly not change a broken light bulb; you need a professional car mechanic for such a task – and the money to pay for this complex operation.>To sum it up: modern cars are designed to break down after a short while and you can not fix them yourself when they do. They are mere consumer goods.>The Soviet Union was a Communist regime, with very little talent for making money or for having the type of Capitalist ideas that car producers have today. The Soviet Union was also famous for caring more about the military than for anything else, so whilst people in general apparently had very little, the military cruised around in high quality vehicles (well, at least in vehicles made from high quality materials). Further, they made these cars for soldiers, in other words; they made these cars pretty idiot-proof! Even the average conscript was supposed to be able to fix things that broke.

>>27664649I get that he's a Europoor, but really all of his complaints can be addressed by just buying a well built car from the 80s or 90s like a Crown Victoria or an old Buick Park Avenue or something. Even old cars from the 70s can be pretty easy to repair with widespread parts availability due to standardization. I'd include 80s cars too, but some of them have some wonky electronic systems. In my crown vic if a headlight bulb burns out I can go to autozone and get a replacement bulb for 5 or 10 bucks and I can change that in the parking lot in 10 minutes. I also get a decent suspension system and air conditioning and mostly modern comforts. I can't help but think that Varg is just going for an aesthetic here. And there's nothing wrong with that. But surely there were reliable European cars from the 90s that he could have bought instead, no? Even if he went Japanese...a 90s honda civic or accord will last a long time with proper maintenance
>>27664649I don't live near Europe so a Soviet car isn't really practical. Living near Asia it's better to run a car that's popular in my third world neighborhood. They'll be fixing old Suzukis until there's no more gas.
throwing aside the troll nature of OPWell the sentiment is right and wrong, for many reasons and many aspects on both sides.I hope he doesn't get in a mid speed accident with his kids in that vehicle. Much rather get hit by a truck at 30MPH in my modern-ish shitbox with side airbags than a full steel military not-a-jeep.A plug job on my engine takes 4 hours or so, but that's 4 hours for 8-12 years depending on yearly driving. Far from a bad tradeoff considering modern engines have modern spark plugs that last 120-150k miles, his russian military special was designed for 30k plug life.Headlamps (the entire unit) aren't too bad either, bumper has to come off but that takes less than 15 minutes including jacking the car up and taking the wheels off. Half hour total, 8 screws for both light housings. Not bad.I do believe cars should be simplified, easier to work on, and intentionally designed to be longer lasting. At the same time nothing is perfect, everything wears out and needs to be replaced on a long enough time. Kinda big doubt a russian military not-a-jeep can hold up to everyday regular use without it's own set of necessary fixes.

Are Land Cruisers a meme?

>>27664464In the same way Camry or Corollas are a meme. They're so ubiquitous here, I don't even notice.

car is 2020 acura ilx. the dashboard feels like a hard firm foam. i had a fluid drift bottle taped to where the foam got damaged. basically this thing https://a.co/d/7tdgOSc its filled with water and oil. the damn thing leaked half of it and caused the damaged. the foam is depressed and pulled up like hills. i was told to soak some rags in boiling water and let it sit on top of it to make it flat like they do with leather but it didnt work.

>>27665303I owned a 2008 yaris 3 cylinder back in the day. Best car I ever owned. Small outside. huge inside. 20km/l
had a honda fit which is one of the greatest cars ever created. the manual transmission made it feel like a gokart and took multiweek camping/hiking/climbing trips in it without any issue of storage. sure it could have been faster but that is not the point of the fit. honestly all it really needed was the honda element interior/butterfly doors and it would have been perfect.
i love my 08 yaris

Been seeing Scions go for sale around my area lately but ive never even seen em on the street. is this a psyop? have you ever seen a scion on the road? Should i cop one?
>>27664822can expect similar problems then, ive been kinda on the toyota hunt so maybe i should make the move. research seems to say theyre reliable enough
>>27664806The tC is not bad for a small econobox. 2.5L engine from the Camry and 6 speed manual option, so it’s not as anemic as a Corolla.
>>27664806It's the "cool" brand by Toyota to attract younger people. It worked. So they dropped it after it served its purpose.
>>27664806Very good cars as long as you avoid the ones with the 2AZ. That engine drinks oil.
stock 2az in a tC can handle a full bar from a ko3, and will make like 250+ wheel. they can be fun and if you lower them, and get better sway bars they are feel like a ep3 civic. they also come stock with a supercharger if you can find them. parts are very cheap aswell, and some dudes have awd swapped them. one of my local SCCA guys drives one and he does alright.
