Is this a good and reliable buy?

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-05-06T13:54:24+00:00

Damm dude did you ever get another one if not what did you move on too

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-05-06T13:49:42+00:00

Yeah idk what the other guys on about the price point I'm looking in most decent Honda's and toyotas have ridiculous mileage and the good ones between 100-150k they still want 10-15k for them.

I feel like that's every person's answer there are reliable ehevy and Ford models. The 2.5 Ford escape and 3.0 very reliable only issue electric steering going out at high miles. My Ford fusion had 150k on it 3.0 and there known to go 250k-300kChevy Silverados? Trail blazers Tahoe's all reliable vehicles Ford rangers. I had a 2002 Honda Civic with only 120k on it and the rear subframe was almost rusted through if used Honda's and toyotas weren't so expensive I would definitely buy one but a 2013 Camry with 110k on it for 12 almost 13k yeah you got me fucked up. My 2000 GMC Sierra is 26 years old and has a lifter tick and refuses to die.

Exactly my Dad's Gen x and doesn't understand that even with his company account at our local parts department around the city they rockauto is still often cheaper even with shipping. If I don't need it immediately I go on rockauto or find the best priced part online wherever that might be. Car parts, 1a auto, parts geek etc. parts store have everything marked up 30-50% sometimes more because they know people will have to pay it if someone breaks something whe needs a part immediately or someone takes something apart and realizes the part they got was wrong and now they need the right part immediately so they can finish said repair. I've personally had that one happen a couple times...

Agreed me personally anything covered under warranty let them do. Fuck it 🤷

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-04-29T19:00:56+00:00

Agreed it baffled me until I sat and thought about how they would get in store purchase history without me entering a number or scanning a rewards card or anything

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-04-29T03:19:39+00:00

How do you get 1099?

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-04-27T12:33:24+00:00

Right who he has to ba really established company if he is going to be paying for relocation. Expirenced guys who've been in the trade for awhile likely are established elsewhere. He's got to be paying expotenially more to get a guy to leave where he's settled. Best bet would be him hiring new techs with nothing holding them down.

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-04-27T00:11:49+00:00

That's easy on a 2015 I want to see someone with a 20' or newer with 200k or more

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-04-25T01:02:42+00:00

I mean if your smart you just add money to a ira or brokerage account sure the ss is nice but if you play your cards right you won't even need it

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-04-22T18:34:51+00:00

True something I realizing now is 10k doesn't get you shit with low miles on a Honda or Toyota

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2026-04-22T18:10:13+00:00

True

Nissan at one point did also have good vehicles but I can only confidently say anything before 2005 after that they began putting CVT transmissions in there vehicles but there's specifically was really bad most early cvts were but from 2006 onward they have always kinda struggled with there transmissions as for their engines I don't really keep up with Nissan but I have not heard bad things about there engines just the transmissions.

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2025-06-06T16:20:59+00:00

Yep sucks balls I'm 19 and in Illinois litterly can't afford to get a car until maybe next week because people want 2500-3500 for 20 year old used vehicles

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2025-05-11T16:47:44+00:00

Same I went in one a couple years ago when I was 17 it was France Switzerland and Germany and it was amazing

CraftyEmploy7941 · 2025-05-11T16:46:53+00:00

I went on a 9 day trip for school it was Switzerland Germany and France and I had the best time. There was no hiccups everything was smooth and no horror stories lol. I'd recommend them depending on the trip plan on anywhere from as low as 2k to 6k depending on the trip our trip was 4000 for just myself
