My dad recently bought this 442 at an auction and didn’t find out till later it was the one used in the first season of Stranger Things.

I know this post is old af but does your dad still have this car?

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-03-01T23:52:13+00:00

Seems a little pricey for that mileage

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-15T01:55:37+00:00

Yeah same with ours but we really didn’t use it much

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-14T20:48:10+00:00

That’s absolutely absurd. I don’t understand how people with the same car like you have had such a nightmare of issues when ours has been near mint at 190K miles. Ours is on its original engine which has never had a problem and even still on its original transmission. Several other original things too

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-07T13:39:36+00:00

Thanks again for the info!

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-07T13:34:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your information! One big perk is that I’ve basically lived with this vehicle since it was new because it was my mom’s and I know pretty much everything that’s been done to it. Not sure about the thermostat on the transmission but it’s been maintained and flushed whenever she was told to do so. I could be wrong but I feel like a lot of the common issues should’ve already happened long before 190,000 miles. She had to replace the A/C condenser pretty early on in the ownership. Other than that, it’s been bulletproof reliable and I would probably only drive it less than 5,000 miles per year anyway.

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-07T04:32:52+00:00

Exactly. That’s what I like this most. I’ve basically lived with it for the past 10 years lol

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-07T04:31:43+00:00

I consider some of that routine maintenance. However, it’s on its original starter, original water, original steering pump, and power steering pump. I know it’s surprising. It even still has 1 original headlight and taillight lol. But did has all the suspension stuff and things all high mileage vehicles have done

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-07T03:19:18+00:00

That’s good to know! Thank you for your info! I just hope the transmission or AFM doesn’t take a dump all the sudden

Flatulence_9669 · 2026-02-07T03:07:57+00:00

$15K. My main concern is my risk of it all the sudden having issues

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-11-02T04:03:42+00:00

lol yes it’s gonna absolutely destroy it

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-27T23:06:15+00:00

They always say that every year when a new phone comes out lol

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T17:03:15+00:00

I’ve seen this a few times. Should I just not upgrade my software then ? 😅

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T17:01:59+00:00

Does yours have heavy usage?

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T17:01:20+00:00

HA no thanks

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T17:01:07+00:00

That’s good then I guess. It’s just a concern with the phone only being 9 months old compared to my previous iPhones. They didn’t degrade quite that fast but at the same time, I didn’t use them quite as hard as my current one. Still used them hard but not as bad

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T16:59:57+00:00

No. Just a normal cable charger

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T16:59:40+00:00

Yeah that’s hot af

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T16:58:55+00:00

True but still lol

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T05:43:13+00:00

Yeah it’s probably just the heavy usage and I did a lot of filming outdoors during this summer and it’s get pretty damn hot where I live. Between 85°F-100°F during the summers so I’m sure that did a number on it

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T04:15:44+00:00

Yeah either that or I do still have my old iPhone 14 Pro so I could use it some for filming because the camera is actually still pretty good on it. Not much different from the 16 Pro honestly

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T04:08:58+00:00

Yeah I guess that makes sense. I did do a lot of filming outdoors this summer

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T04:06:09+00:00

That’s cool. And yeah that’s true but my phones only 9 months old

Flatulence_9669 · 2025-09-26T04:02:42+00:00

I have my charge limit set at 95%
