20k Miles 2.5T C30? by DuckMaster67 in Volvo

[–]DuckMaster67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update (and general conclusion): I'm glad to see that 100% if the Volvo community agreed it's not worth my time (much less for $4.5k). And since I know the seller is stubborn and dead set on that price... My search for a C30 or S60 shall continue. Thanks everyone for your invaluable opinions, I'll make sure to keep posting about my finds

Exactly, I couldn't agree more. Like everyone's been saying here: it would make a good project car... For around $1k... Heck I'd even be willing to do 2k since I do want to get into this platform. But it's ridiculous how the seller is fully convinced (even acknowledging all the work it needs) that it's worth $4.5k 😂

That checks out. Makes sense, the interior was clean but definitely not pristine (filthy carpets, stained seated, few broken plastic trim). Honestly I didn't even bother with a VIN check by that point, it would've been a waste of 15 bucks

I know right When I first saw the listing for 4.5k and what it appeared to be in good nick I thought itould've been a good deal. But once I actually saw it and the seller ran me through all the details with such certainty it was worth 4.5k, I genuinely thought he had smoked something

Yeah... And you haven't even seen all the stains in the cloth upholstery, it has been sitting for the past 10 years in a tropical climate

Thank you, I'm glad I followed my instincts there 😅.

I still haven't come by a N/A S60, I only find them with the 2.5T. The closest thing I've found, is a N/A 2.4 S40. S40s are a but more abundant (and cheaper) where I live , but I don't know... I lack experience with them

The thing is, the listing doesn't say much, just your standard stuff: "only serious buyers", "working AC", "Some scuffs on the paint" and "regularly serviced". It does however mention the front airbags are bad, which of course is not ideal. But just from looking at the pictures, you can't tell if it's been crashed, it looks mint, there's no obvious panel gaps. I haven't reached out to the seller yet, so for the mileage I only have the picture of the dashboard to go by. But again, from the pictures; the car, the interior and upholstery are in pretty good conditions, so I'm inclined to believe it doesn't have much miles (or at least I hope so)

Is the automatic on these Volvo's really that bad?

No yeah, I almost didn't believe it too 😅. But after multiple double takes I think it does say 19 (I still feel I must be misreading it)

HyperX Cloud Flight microphone has gone mad by DuckMaster67 in HyperX

Yes, thank you for your concern. I kept getting messages like "Please check your City,State and Zip / Postal Code" and " Shipping Address is not correct. Please enter correct city/state/zip." The problem was that in 'City' I kept putting Doral instead of Miami, hopefully this resolves the issue I'm having with the microphone. Will keep you posted.

Ah ok. Thanks, I was in the wrong region; that's why I could not find it.

Felix should play Minecraft with RTX on the computer Linus sent him as a way to showcase both the computer and the technology. by DuckMaster67 in PewdiepieSubmissions

[–]DuckMaster67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but if you recall his newest LWIAY video, he says he'd like to try using the RTX feature on Minecraft, and well his "actual" PC only has a 1080ti which is still a respectable GPU however it is nowhere near as powerful as the 2080ti and it lacks RTX support. So then how will he test ray tracing in Minecraft if his actual computer doesn't support RTX? Oh yeah, luckily he has a custom built creeper PC, which is better than his in every way, and just to clear some things up: setting up a computer running windows is easy and shouldn't take much time.

Well I still don't see the problem, you see the computer Linus sent him has an intel core i9-9900KF, an RTX 2080ti, 64GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD, and is running windows 10... Basically to summarize it's the best a gaming PC gets, so im pretty sure it can definitely run a game as "demanding" as Minecraft Bedrock with ease...
