StormDrain posted:I don't think its wrong to try and haggle, if its respectful. If someone doesn't want to give you $5 though thats fine. That's literally the negotiation. You have to be prepared for that outcome. Unreasonable results should certainly be accounted for in the plan.

I'd be pretty annoyed in the situation presented. I rarely carry cash, so splitting an ATM bill means I have to make yet another stop at a store or something. If I'm standing there with 120 in my hand and the guy is refusing over a 5, it needs to be something I really want. And yes, that's entirely his right to do that if he wants.

Krakkles posted:Would you rather the seller price it at $140? What kind of bullshit response is this? The seller can price it how he wants. If he wants to make it inconvenient for the customer, that might work against him. I guess it's up to him to either think it through or not. quote:It's never occurred to me to be annoyed at someone else for not having exact change for something that I want to buy, and expecting them to alter their price on that basis strikes me as pretty audacious. Certainly, if I'm selling something, I will strongly prefer prices that won't require anything outside a stop at the ATM, but if you genuinely think your item is worth $125 (and the market - i.e. the buyer) agrees, it's much more reasonable to a seller to round up than round down. Cool. As a seller I would agree. As a buyer...you know, the perspective we're discussing...I would disagree but understand the seller's motivation. quote:Personally I'd much rather buy a Redbull and pay $125 than pay $140 for the same item. Or poo poo, I dunno, use apple pay/venmo/google pay. That's also up to the seller to determine. Coredump posted:I'm annoyed the guy wouldn't come down $5 on a $125 item. In other words, he wouldn't take 96% of his asking price. That is all. I genuinely don't understand how this is a difficult concept to grasp.

Krakkles posted:You cited having to break a readily available via ATM $20 as (at least part of) your justification on why the seller should accept the negotiation, as did Coredump. I did not. I cited it as why I would be annoyed. Not that the seller is under any obligation to accept it. You're just arguing in bad faith now.

kastein posted:I really only give a poo poo if it's being used to illicitly sell a stolen vehicle. If you wanna spend 3x what the car cost new to build a tri 5 and hang an old vin tag on it so you can register it, knock yourself out, I didn't see poo poo. Yeah and then it gets sold at "all original, restored" prices. This poo poo happens all the loving time. People are constantly getting new VIN plates made, restamping engines to hide that this original 327 is actually a loving crate 350, etc. The running joke is that there are more original-motor big block Chevelles/Corvettes on the market than the factory ever built. It's a complicated issue that nobody really wants to deal with. The government doesn't want to get any more involved, and most of the hobby community doesn't really want the government getting more involved. It just makes everything more expensive for everyone.

Darchangel posted:Looks like a typical FB Marketplace ad to me. :P It used to be a thing on a lot of underpowered cars...I'm surprised it was still true as late as that. It stopped being a thing as vehicles disabled the AC compressor based on throttle input, so the car was basically pushing the button for you. The Tempo/Topaz is just a handsome vehicle. I've never wanted to own one, but I like seeing them. It's been a while.

For FCA that was acceptable for new engines, at least a few years ago. I assume it still is, because quality control isn't exactly a priority.

i own every Bionicle posted:Lots of new engines have very high oil consumption. Thin oils and loose ring fits reduce friction which helps with fuel consumption. Subaru says 1 quart per 1,000 miles is acceptable. I think some Audi and BMW engines are said to burn a quart per 700 miles. The old 3.8 and early 3.6s are not in that category.

The SHO V8 was introduced with the third gen (oval monstrosity) for '96. The 92-95 second gen carried over the V6s, with no manual option after 92 or 93.

Q_res posted:This part isn't actually true. They introduced the automatic for 93 (with a 3.2L version of the V6) but they were sold alongside each other for the remainder of that gen. Interesting...did they actually sell any? I don't think I've actually ever seen one newer than like 89.

The only time I've had a buyer contact me later was about 8 months after I sold my JK Wrangler. I was concerned when I saw I had a voicemail from the guy. Turns out I'm an rear end in a top hat and when I cleaned out the glovebox and console I didn't realize I took the lugnut key. Poor old man had a flat that needed to be repaired but...well...

Imperador do Brasil posted:This makes no sense to me. They just bought my ‘12 Abarth for $11,620, and I paid $10,500 for it earlier this summer. I’d think a Golf R would be worth more even with the mileage… Dealers buy cheap and sell expensive, and the market has been climbing fast. It makes perfect sense. A couple of years ago a dealer offered me 8 grand for a 7 year old 2-door Wrangler, while they had it's near-identical (different color) twin on the lot for 19k.
