#

Cheap cars are cheap for a reason

queen wren
#

Is it no cheap cars with looks - reability - cheap?

dull cedar
#

Other than collector stuff or whatever stuff, cars are generally priced based on how they function as a car, regardless of age, hence an old Toyota costing as much as some newer garbage

white heart
dull cedar
#

It's best if it doesn't die, because then you can sell it onto some other person wanting a first car

#

And then you'll have a few thousand to spend

queen wren
#

because you dont have to spend as much maintaining it?

dull cedar
#

upgrade through Toyotas until you're driving something stupid like A lexus IS F or GR Yaris

ngl ill prolly try negociating to lower the price of the toyota at around 5.5k or sum

f this shit, ill buy the honda accord, and save up for a more expensive car later

dull cedar

if i manage to negociate with the dude to knock off a bit of the price

ill go with a corolla

and shit this one aint even too ugly for once

and a low mileage too

None of what's currently for sale will be for sale when you plan to buy it anyway

Diesels are less when driven short distances (so are all diesels, but especially for smaller cars with diesels)

#

Turboless petrols aren't amazingly fast but reliable

#

Turbo version's are quite decent

#

Main thing to look out for is just to keep the oil level at MAX all the time.

#

People run them on low oil and then they're surprised the timing chain stretches 🥹

civic spoke
#

As much as I would like a diesel for the better fuel milage. I drive too short distances for it to make sense.

stoic ledge
#

I'll just kill a diesel

civic spoke
#

But also. Hate how diesels sound compared to petrol.

#

With trucks, then it's fine. Because you don't have many alternatives.

#

An EV would really be ideal for me.
Since I only drive <15 km to work. Same distance back. And it's many times traffic on the way back.

#

Other than that, I drive a few km's to the store and back.

#

It's maybe 4 km's to the store.

Working in rental cars for 6 years thru '21 and having rented several since then, they look and feel awesome for about 2 years or 30k miles, and then they disintegrate

Does anyone know how to make it so I can use cruise control in this stupid rental car?

full prism

if it doesnt have it, theres no safe way to add it

i can think of a "throttle control" system but it includes sticking a stick onto the gas pedal and adjusting it till youre on the speeds you want lol

so its dangerous af, can easily get stuck on full throttle

thats lowkey worse

u can atleast pull the stick out since one side of it will always be somewhat close to you

Couldn't tell you.
You would need a shop to look her over. I don't know how the rock was like, but at best you need to replace the radiators and stuff in the front.
At worst you would be looking at a cracked engine block.

A bunch of suspension is damaged, too. Man. That's rough.
I hope that you all came out Ok.

I think throttle house managed to do it, they drove too fast over the sand dune, jumped and broke the radiator.

#

The biggest problem for me with Toyota is that lack of spark for going fast, being drivers car. Honda have that according to it's funder. I mean if Toyota wants to make car for petrol heads that drives good they proved they can do it. They just don't add that mojo to every car they make in comparison to Honda or Mazda.

What about

#

Or does it absolutely have to be auto

lone bane
#

I can drive stick fr

halcyon grotto

That has lower tax by 100 quids, 8.6s 0-60 and better economy

lone bane
halcyon grotto
#

Yeah

lone bane
#

Daaaaaang

#

Daaamn that's a good one right there

halcyon grotto
#

There's loads of those at that price, though perhaps there might be some issue with them I'm unaware of?

lone bane
#

2000 Quids with a 100 quids lower taxes and a better fuel economy, Hell yeaaa that one matches just for me fr

#

But I gotta check the MOT Reports for this fr

halcyon grotto
#

Fair few advisories on that one

#

But as I say there are 10 of that car around for the same/similar money

#

Also not all garages log advisories the same which is a bit annoying

#

It in fact is better than that Corolla fr

@dull cedar the volvo s80 is pretty reliable right ?

#

just to see if i add it to the list of potential cars

narrow ridge
#

But it's 2014 model

#

My grandpa didn't see a tractor tyre on the road while driving 120km/h and crashed into it. Frame wasn't bent, but front bumper, headlights and fenders got mangled.

#

So my guess is, that the front end got swapped. Like i said, my first car, i'm young, it's a miracle that i even have a car at my age.

narrow ridge
#

So probably a little downhill, no clue

#

My Poojie 305 has a roughly 6 second 0-60 I think it could still be a little faster.

#

Main thing I see with Volvo's of that period is bloody airbag faults

From my p2 v70 I would recommend checking the underside for rust (dependent on region ofc). Mine is/was quite bad around the area below the rear boot

worldly oasis
halcyon grotto
#

Yeah mine broke under the top plastic cover and dumped a fair bit of oil into the spark plugs which didn't have great results

#

I replaced it but the PCV (working good now) seems to leak a tiny bit of oil somehow

I'm late to the game I guess but the C63 has a 4 CYLINDER!?

#

What is Europe doing right now

merry mason
#

americans when a fancy car doesnt have an 8+l fuel guzzler

winged raft
#

A 4L would do like they have in the SL63

#

They could at least be honest and call it the C20 AMG and get a deserved laughing at

#

Even BMW is still on 6 cyls for compact models

#

Mercedes is supposed to be the V8 plug

#

No wonder nobody cares for new Merc models

#

I didn't even want a Mercedes V8 when I was looking at GLEs they were 53s

#

But I need me an E63 someday

Eh you can still buy an F150 with a V8, you get a full spec one and its basically an SUV with a big ass

Gets less off road features than the Raptor and yet is more expensive

Nobody should be paying 6 figures for a V6 powered truck

It’s kind of silly they got rid of the v8 as an option on the raptor bc like half the people buying raptors want one lol

As much as Chrysler has their own reliability issues, atleast getting bought out has introduced more foreign design choices to keep them competive

I'm guessing by euro y'all mean bmw Audi and mercedes cause so far Peugeot, ds, Citroën and Renault ain't improving in term of reliability
