funny Star Wars parody posted:it depends on how much it's worth and how much money it'd cost to fix up. I reckon it's worth $30k but I'd also guess he has around $5-10k in cosmetic damage on it How bad is the cosmetic damage? I can't really tell from the photos.

Every corner is of the car has bumps, the rear bumper is bent downards and has a big ding on the left, there are scratches in the paint on the driver side from the door to the bed, the front is missing some trim that goes above the bumper, a few other things angryrobots posted:Based on the options apparent I guessed it is probably an SLE which kbb gives a median value of over $40k. That's about what he said he paid for it in 2014 so I have no idea

Okay, I gotta figure out how to tow this 200 back, I can tow it with the 5000 Quattro Turbo wagon I'm picking up as well, but I think I'll have to dolly it. But I don't know if U-Haul will sign off of me renting a dolly to tow with the 5000 Avant.

Goddamn, that's a nice truck, cosmetic damage or not. The damage just means you won't give a poo poo about a door ding. Seminal Flu posted:Almost every panel of your Saturn is a different color. Mine looks like that too with a camera, but in person the panels look fine.  (except for the front left fender, but that's been repainted twice now).I'm guessing the panels were painted off the car, so who knows what direction the flake is laid down on each panel. It's something I've noticed on a lot of Ions.

I've been trying to replace the cat pipe on my falcon. no chance of getting the bolts off, and australia doesn't sell pb blaster, liquid wrench, or kroil retail, stuck with wd40 and selleys rp7 which do jack. Can't get a 4-5" grinder in there on one side - too close to the tunnel/floorpan. Using an old dremel cutting disc I got halfway through, and that was the last of them. I went to the hardware to buy more and they all are made to fit the new ezyfit twist and turn now. gently caress that system is rubbish, they're all falling apart much quicker than the old screw on ones, even the collet is falling apart already. Getting loving nowhere with this poo poo and can't find my chisels. E: I've only got a lovely jack and axle stands that don't lift very high, so not much room. Anyway that's my story about why today sucks.

I managed to shove the downpipe past the steering arm enough so it's low enough to use a proper grinder now. E: note to everyone, don't bother with the "EZ lock" system and the new wheels if you need to use a dremel, get the old discs instead. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 07:51 on May 29, 2017 |

funny Star Wars parody posted:I checked out the truck today, turns out it has 28k miles and he's selling it cheap because he's an old man who can't drive and there are some dings, scratches, and missing parts from various run ins with trees that he's had Those wheels get stolen in Houston all the time. Thieves love those and the big factory wheels that come on late model Accord sports. There were frequent news stories about whole rows of them sitting on blocks at dealerships a while back.

After 5 years of busting my knuckles and bathing in oil im out. I started hating cars. I hated raping people in the wallet and flat out lying to them at request of my managers.. Working at a shop is the most toxic thing i have ever been apart of especially with little return. Starting in a new trade I know little about home renovation. Hopefully it's a more fulfilling career.

I've begun offloading all my stupid comics and toys, between that and the low end value of the 6 and the Miata I figure I can easily pull together enough enough funding in the time frame I'm talking about.

People will stump up that sort of money for a Celica Supra that (1) has been hosed about with, and (2) has a borked engine?
