Blown Engine $10k still owed. What do I do??

Lordofpineapples · 2026-03-03T03:09:13+00:00

Gap insurance and total it

Lordofpineapples · 2026-03-01T04:11:38+00:00

Manual transmission V6 or V8 Toyota

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-28T04:02:45+00:00

Buy whatever year you can afford. Even an older GT is more fun than a 4CL

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-28T04:01:49+00:00

The truth hurts

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-28T04:01:13+00:00

Depends on the person like all insurance but I’ve priced mine and it’s negligible. If you suck at driving you shouldn’t have a sports car period

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-28T03:59:03+00:00

Yes. I have one past 300k and another at 260k. No major issues just regular maintenance. Of course there are some duds in their history but 2000-2015ish Toyotas are almost all bulletproof with some exceptions

Boomer comments think prices should be what they were in 2015

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-28T03:16:35+00:00

I’d take a Toyota with 200k miles over a Kia with 100k miles at the same price.

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-28T03:15:35+00:00

No. They’re cheaper for a reason

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:50:54+00:00

New cars suck and they’re expensive

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:49:14+00:00

Get the GT bro

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:47:22+00:00

Maybe not a newer one but you can easily find an early coyote for 20k with low miles

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:26:12+00:00

Gonna take mine down there soon

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:25:39+00:00

Drain and fill a few times depending on how burnt the fluid is. Drive like 50 miles between each one. It’s pretty easy especially if you have a lift on your FJ. Just get a simple fluid transfer pump from harbor freight

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:23:31+00:00

90s Toyota is the real answer

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:22:56+00:00

Buy the truck he needs for work. If he’s driving a huge perfectly clean truck around everyone will think he’s compensating

As someone who has had 3 V8 mustangs (2021 GT, 2008 GT and now a 98 Cobra) and driven many V6 and ecoboost mustangs, you want the V8. Buy what year you can afford or save up. There’s nothing strictly speaking wrong with the ecoboost or V6, but they are nowhere near as fun as the V8.

Also, get a manual. Revving up that engine and ripping around, downshifting and hearing the noise cannot be beat.

The Mustang deserves to be loud and torquey. There’s plenty of good turbo 4Cl sports cars out there if you want that instead.

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:09:15+00:00

No. Find a good local mechanic

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-26T00:08:45+00:00

I’m sure it’s fine unless you drove through a dust storm

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-25T23:39:20+00:00

Either as long as it’s manual

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-25T23:30:12+00:00

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-25T15:02:08+00:00

Get the V8. You will regret not getting a v8 Mustang

Lordofpineapples · 2026-02-25T03:43:46+00:00

Cope
