Would an 02 Accord with the V6 have the exploding transmission syndrome? Helping a coworker buy a car and I've found a clean, one owner Accord with maintenance records.

Yeah I've done some digging and it seems like it wouldn't be a great choice considering her last car was in the shop for transmission work for ages. No manual on the V6 IIRC, which is unfortunate.

Am I overthinking seeing paper tags on a car that is for sale from a private seller in Texas? You only get the paper tags when you're waiting on a permanent plate, so it just seems odd that if you're selling the car, you don't have a real plate.

Go to check out a car today and just like magic the cosmetic damage turns into the reinforcement bar being bent to poo poo and the SRS airbag light on. loving CL sellers.

punk rebel ecks posted:So is buying used car from a city a big no no even if it has low miles? Like 40,000? What color is it? Serious response though - why would it matter where you bought it from? Look for he same thing you would anywhere - service records, carfax/autocheck and a PPI.

PaintVagrant posted:I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but it's the best used car buying advice. You're conducting an interview with the owner of the car. It's often very clear when you're dealing with someone who takes care of their poo poo, or someone who treated it as a disposable appliance. One of my favorite used card buying experiences is the guy who said a car had cosmetic damage only. Get there - the front reinforcement bar is entirely crushed in, the frame horns are bent inward and the SRS light is on. He seemed to think these items were only cosmetic issues. I told him that if he was to get into an accident the safety of that vehicle is severely compromised but he didn't seem to mind at all.

scuz posted:How do I shop for new wheels and tires? At what point does the diameter of the wheels start affecting things like ABS sensors and speedo readings? I want wider wheels that will fit my Golf but haven't a clue where to start This is a good site. Pop in your current tire size and you can see what some other options would do with your speedo. At the bottom you can change the wheel size. https://tiresize.com/calculator/ https://tiresize.com/speedometer-calibration/

I'd do exactly that. You're going to rack up some serious mileage and the roads aren't going to be kind, so might as well go for something with a reliable engine and trans and let everything else fall apart.

Yes. Often times there is an impact absorber made of styrofoam that can crack. Even if the plastic doesn't appear to be damaged, it often has small spiderweb cracks on it. If there is any textured plastic, it isn't repairable and has to be replaced to bring it back to pre loss condition.

I'd start with the terminal replacement. Electrical issues can take on a host of issues and if you have an electrical power steering unit, entirely possible.

It's probably about right. Hour or so repair but you have to take off the bumper cover, refinish it, reprint it, reinstall it. A non dealer shop may be a little less but probably not too much different. You can report it to your insurance but it'll be at fault and probably raise your premiums more in the long run.

Did you let it dry? You'd want to remove it immediately after painting. Multiple coats would be a problem.

CornHolio posted:Since cyclists don't have insurance, how does that work? Your insurance just contacts him and says "hey, pay up?" Almost exactly this. In some states they can suspend driver licenses, credit hits, etc. In smaller debt situations like this usually they'll sell the debt to a collector for a percentage.

Even then, insurance companies are lucky to make 4 or 5 cents on a dollar. Many of them don't actually turn a profit on car insurance, making it up on home insurance or investments.

Geoj posted:I'd check with a paintless dent repair guy first, it's not too big and the paint wasn't damaged from what's visible in the picture. PDR right on the edge of the metal is going to be tough. I'd agree that would be the first route to check into, but don't be surprised if they all turn you away. The edge of a metal body panel is seriously tough to work on and recreate the line without breaking the paint from a PDR perspective. If you can't PDR it, probably 3 hours repair. $800ish all in I would wager. Siffl posted:Hi everyone, Structural damage doesn't have anything to do with your title. If the cars damage wasn't deemed enough to total it, then the repairs are done and the clean title is still in effect. This is really a case of buyer beware. If you had a document saying the car had no damage, then you might have a case, but I can't see how buying a presumably as is car has any recourse to pursue for damages. At the end of the day it's on the buyer to confirm the vehicle is in a satisfactory enough condition for them to purchase.

I mean, the value of your car is the value of your car. It should be adequate to buy a 2000 Honda Civic based on what comparable vehicles are selling for. Probably not a huge market out there for them, so it may be hard to find a comparable car.

Google Butt posted:Are pilot super sports by far the best summer performance tire and is there a close second? I ask because they don't make them in my oem size (215/45r18). I can potentially move to 224/40r18, but I'd prefer to stay oem sizing for comfort and the ability to use the spare without loving my poo poo up. 2008 speed 3, oem wheels, 18x7. What are you intending to do with them? PSS are great tires, but if you're just running them on the road, you probably don't need anything that aggressive, and you'll chew through them quick. If you want a solid summer tire, I've run the Conti ExtremeContact DW on several cars and been very happy.
