Fermented Tinal posted:Well, if anyone wants any part of my 2005 Mazda 6, now's the time to ask. She's going to the scrapheap tomorrow. How high of priority is space? If I remember correctly, the Versa has space more like a mid-size car instead of a compact car. I had a rental Versa that I liked back in the day. Looks like you were going that way anyway but I would recommend that, especially with the price and mileage difference between the Versa and Sentra.

Man, it didn't click earlier, $5950 is £4800. You guys get hosed on used car prices. That's literally double what those kinds of cars are here. Given how cheap new stuff is in the USA, it's nuts.

In short, gently caress Barrett Jackson. Also, it doesn't cost money to scrap cars here (usually the opposite, even if it's only $200), and land is cheap. You can hoard all the shitboxes you want, and BJ has you convinced they're all treasure. Look up what happened to air-cooled 911s or nearly any shitbox ACVW.

If we hadn't been in a crunch for time we'd have gotten the SO's car for as much as a grand less than what we actually paid for it.

InitialDave posted:Man, it didn't click earlier, $5950 is £4800. Well, yes, but, unless you're up north, our cars aren't a loose collection of rust and parts in 5 years, and are therefore worth more. Anything running and moving under it's own power is generally worth $1000 here. Particularly since most states only require "safety" inspections, and those inspections are a joke. We don't have to worry about spending $TEXAS to fix stuff to pass MOT, which in itself is $TEXAS. State safety in Texas is $7 without emissions, $25.50 for the ODBII test, and $31.50 for the treadmill test, plus a smaller fee on registration (must pass inspection before getting reg.) edit: it varies a lot state to state, but I don't think any of our inspections even approach MOT. I'm only experienced with Texas. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Honestly, I can live with the small cargo compartment because the rear seats fold down and Versas have shitloads of room in the passenger space. Dad and I used my Mazda (he's the PO) to commute before he got his Versa and it was way more comfortable for that purpose.

I paid £29.99 for this weekend's MOT and if you go to a council test site they have no incentive to falsely fail you. I prefer the existence of our system vs some of the systems you have in the US. I also got an advisory, they won't check a seat belt if there's a child seat there, which I can sort of understand but it's also dumb.

InitialDave posted:Man, it didn't click earlier, $5950 is £4800. What? KBB said I should be paying closer to $5k USD for a 2007 Versa loaded up like this one and that it should have 70,000 more km on it. I figured at under $4k for the sticker price I'm doing okay since there's a 2010 nearby that's $900 cheaper, has a hosed trans, and 100,000 more km. There's also another in Kitchener, 2009, 150,000km, $3000, but has a quote for $700 in necessary repair work before it'll pass a safety. Also, I paid $350 for my 1988 Toyota Pickup, running and driving. Now it doesn't do either because I literally cut the suspension off and then got lazy about finishing the job.

CharlesM posted:There is no oil level warning light on the Mazda 6. Wouldn't there have been a CEL for low oil pressure though? The car literally had not a single drop left in it when my mom pulled over and I pulled the drain plug because the dipstick was bone dry, nothing came out. The really unfortunate thing was that we had to drive it another 150km, with the rod knock, and no oil. It made it somehow. Before the engine got rebuiltn as a result, it had a slow leak around the oil pan because some lube shop hosed it up and it never sealed right again (why they dropped the pan is beyond my comprehension). Mom treats cars like driving appliances and doesn't even check the oil on her Porsche Boxster S.

Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to a nationwide MOT type inspection. I lived in NY and VA for most of my life, moving to Indiana where there are no inspections was a huge shock. A good third or so of cars on the road would fail, hard. We really need something to keep people honest.

InitialDave posted:It's not worth paying four figures more just to enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of buying from a dealer. It's a dealership I'm buying the car from, but the price matches what I've seen on kijiji for similiar, uncertified, and it is certified and pretty low mileage. Yeah, it's still more than I wanted to pay for a car, but I didn't want to pay anything for a new car right now anyways because I should be saving for cruiser parts. If I could take $4k in flesh from my Mazda, I would. E: No car will ever hold value better than my 1988 Toyota Pickup, because I literally paid scrap value for it and iron prices historically go up.

InitialDave posted:Most cars here last pretty well, and I can get through two or three of them before I'm hitting US pricing. I bought my 1965 Impala for $2k from a guy down the street. That seems pretty fair to me?  The engine wound up being pretty tired, but I got a good couple years out of it before I swapped it, and SBC parts are cheap

I prefer the existence of our system vs some of the systems you have in the US. Huh. Thought it was more than that. And yeah, I much prefer going to a place that just does inspections. There are some that will not charge if you don't pass, even. Used car prices are a function of supply and demand - I guess the market is there vs. new cars in the US. I know I prefer used over new. The dealer experience coupled with the massive depreciation of driving off the lot cinched it for me. edit: also, a car payment can go piss up a rope.

Yanno, this is actually the first time I'll be getting rid of a vehicle instead of just shoving it into a corner of my dad's barn to languish while I faf about being too poor to fix it. I feel like I should keep something from it, but what? My plates will be transfering to the new car, so something else. I'm open to suggestions.

^^^ Either my engine is losing power on hills or the torque converter/trans is hosed, might not get up the ramp because I'll be hitting 5000rpm in 1st just trying to crawl at 10km/h.InitialDave posted:Hahahaha... Yeah, I need to get at least some money for the car, I don't want to put less than $1k of my own money down on the Versa if I can avoid it. Financing isn't gonna be an issue but goddamn I wish I could just pay for this car outright like I've done the last three times, but if I had $4500, the cruiser would have paint, and a dash, and also some assembly.

Stupid question: Do you have enough ATF in there? That's what it acts like when the TC can't transfer enough torque through it because there's not enough fluid to do it with, in my experience. That same Impala leaves a piddle if I leave it sitting for more than a bit, and it's mostly ATF.

That same Impala leaves a piddle if I leave it sitting for more than a bit, and it's mostly ATF. I had the transmission serviced about a month and a half ago because of a hosed hardline, I've been checking the dipstick religiously and I thought a couple weeks ago it had pissed out all the ATF but the level came right back up to full after I dumped maybe 100mL in. Still at the full mark. Also, when reversing for the first 30 seconds the whole car vibrates, rpms drop to about 400 even with skinny pedal action. If I stop the car while its vibrating like this and put it in drive it'll stop vibrating, rpms will go back up to 1100, and it drives fine until I get to one of this city's many steep hills. Also, after 30 seconds of being in reverse, it'll stop vibrating and drive fine. However, last night on the way to the poker game I didn't smell any coolant burning, and it powered up 10th Street hill no problem, nor did it vibrate in reverse.

No, because I really needed this car to survive at least 6 more months. I've been babying it since the last thermostat quit even though I shouldn't need to, just did all four brakes, had the transmission serviced, flushed the power steering... Mechanically speaking, I've tried to take care of this car, even ate ramen for two weeks so I could afford the exhaust work I had done a couple years ago, only for the same loving seal to fail half a year later, so yeah, it's had an exhaust leak since then because why even bother, it's blown through four of those seals. Since I started noticing burning coolant and the power loss I've been checking the oil and coolant multiple times a day for any sign of mixing because that would confirm a failed headgasket, but there isn't any mixing so I don't even know where the hell the coolant is going or coming from.

I'm $10k into this car already, and I haven't bothered getting a repair quote from a mechanic because I can't even get a month of problem-free operation out of it anymore. Mazda charges a shitload for parts, think 2x dealership parts prices in the US and you'll be close to what we're paying. I'm sure I could probably get it fixed for $4500, maybe even have some body work done, but why should I keep investing in a vehicle I hate? Now, mechanically I've taken care of this car to the best of my ability and affordability, but admittedly, I did treat the interior like a garbage dump:  That's 2 years ago, I drive one of my coworkers to work so now I keep it clean(er).
