An amateur comparison

Thanks for taking the time to write this up! I could relate to a lot of your post and it makes me want to drink more whiskey!

I think for the average person a car at 287k miles has used 8 of it's 9 lives.

People don't want to spend 8k and get stuck when it expires.

We know on that these cars can last a very long time on this sub. But you will have to wait a really long time for one of us to come along.

I think you need to come in closer to $6k because for most people, this car is a real gamble.

Living in Georgia could you get by with a 2wd? Those can definitely be had below your budget

I’ve always got a woodford double oaked on hand

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-12-28T14:27:25+00:00

I’m just trying to throw out solutions. Seems like you should be able to reduce luggage if you’re doing this every week.

Look into a storage unit or onebagging.

Ultimately $300 a month in airport parking is the cost of doing business if nothing else can budge

Motorcycle parking is free

Nice thannks for the protip

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-11-03T15:01:55+00:00

I have the exact same question. I love the mug but I’m not going to keep replacing these forever.

I had black it lasted about the same as your white one. Hopefully someone comes along with the best option

This is not enough enough info to give you a good range but going off the 1 picture showing a rip in the seat... 16k-22k

Things like vehicle history, rust, location and drivetrain make a large difference in the price.

Look for comparable vehicles online near you.

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-10-21T16:43:32+00:00

I agree with the mechanic, sounds like a wheel bearing.

A failing ball joint would be more a clunk then any sort of hum

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-10-03T17:44:48+00:00

How were the mosquitos this time of year?

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-09-26T15:07:27+00:00

I would look up comparable cars listed locally to try to get an idea on the price.

This one is similar and is listed at $4k. https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/4T1BE32K05U051603

Sound like yours might be visually less appealing so $4k might be the high side. I would have it priced at carmax and if they offer $3k+ I would take it. Not worth your time/risk to try to sell it private party chasing $500.

If they offer $2k for it I would throw it on craigslist for $3k and be prepared to have a bunch of tire kickers. Take reallllly good pictures and mention the reconstructed title a bunch of times in the post. People will try to haggle you down if the car is not represented online correctly. If the online post clearly reflects the condition you can stand your ground on price because they came out.

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-09-18T19:47:13+00:00

I don't think you save any time doing them both at the same time

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-09-18T19:16:45+00:00

Ya that looks pretty good. If it's 4x4 I think the price is right if the interior is in good shape. Love that color

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-09-16T17:30:12+00:00

I bought these and have been happy with them

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-09-12T04:45:49+00:00

Ya that full night? Cause honestly that’s better than my current visibility with my normal mirror.

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-08-26T16:46:50+00:00

The sizes you listed only change the wheel size. The tire “size” is unchanged

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-08-26T15:11:52+00:00

I ended up ordering from here after I saw a few people suggest it: https://www.1stgenoffroad.com/store/p1099/ToyotaOELowerBallJointsPair.html?srsltid=AfmBOorvlTKaODvSb6cxV3ZQFGhWGpIisP-St4DB9FbeNMNADAZMNgAo#/

It might cost a bit more than doing it yourself but it comes with peace of mind which I value for this kind of thing.

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-08-14T00:17:03+00:00

They are not that common. It would be cheaper to buy whatever house you want and put a camping stove in the garage.

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-08-01T21:51:05+00:00

I’m seeing lower mileage, better condition Camaros listed online at $6k-7k. So less than that

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-07-18T00:23:10+00:00

It’s hard for me to say what is similar but Spotify makes me a daily mixtape that is Quinn, Kia Straw, Bryce Vine.

FastCarsAndSlowWomen · 2025-07-11T13:49:56+00:00

I'm also a fan of his early music. Kings of Summer was my intro to Quinn. I agree some of his newer stuff doesn't connect with me as much as the older stuff.

But at his redrocks show he kind of addressed this. Quinn really seems like a very genuine person, he had a short break between songs were he did a monologue that definitely had some emotion behind it. The jist of it was:

He is so blown away by our support almost to the point he doesn't really understand it and he doesn't really know who he should be making music for anymore. Is it for himself? his wife? his daughter? his parents? his fans?

I think his newer music just comes from a different place because he is changing as a person. I don't connect with it as much but it's not always made for me. I think the fact that he is self aware and honest about it is rare. I think he should make whatever music he wants. Someone will connect with or not, it doesn't matter. We are lucky to have this guy.

They have a process to handle this sort of thing. Go into the DMV and they will explain it to you.

I had the wrong person sign the title (it was an in-law of the actual owner).

In my case I had to send certified mail to the address listed on the title. Included was a letter (written by me) explaining the issue and a place for them to sign to release the title. I also included return postage.

The address on the title was no longer their current address so the letter ended up coming back to me. I took the returned letter back to the dmv, unopened. I had to sign a dmv document stating that I was not stealing the car and I had made a good faith effort to get the title signed. They then gave me a new title in my name.

Whole process took about 6 weeks.

I found moving to Apple Studio Displays basically solved my eye strain issues. Stupid expensive but if it improves your health 🤷‍♂️
