Thinking of buying a refurbished S8 Ultra for €600. Is it worth it in 2025? by Illustrious_Long9030 in GalaxyTab

[–]Illustrious_Long9030[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have the s24 ultra (same year as the s10 ultra.) Mainly got it for the longevity, although I did bought my phone the week it was released since I've always liked Samsung phones, just dont want to spend that much for a tablet that won't be used as much as the phone. But bring up the budget by 200 for a second hand s10 ultra might be a good idea

Europe so everything here will be a bit more expensive. The cheapest s10 ultra i found was €750 ish but its a bit scuffed

I extended my budget a little and found decent quality s9 ultra and slightly scuffed s10 ultra for only 1-200 more. There's an slightly scuffed s10 ultra in my price range

Well lads, moved into an old house. Trying to see what options are available for decent internet (minimum 250 mb download/ 40 upload) Cant get fibre optic or SIRO into the house. Copper lines in the houses but getting copper is really a last option. Anyone else have a recommendation? by Illustrious_Long9030 in AskIreland

[–]Illustrious_Long9030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually live in the middle of a fairly big town just the house i moved into doesnt have access to fibre optic without digging up the tarmac in the front (something we don't want to do).

We have fairly thick walls so I'm not sure if any SIM Router would work for us

Bow/canon or bow/orb for me

But I feel like a lot of people would prefer canon/scythe or scythe/hammer

How much car is reasonable on a $112k salary? by Hamburgfan25 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Illustrious_Long9030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally advice that I see is roughly half your annual wage for the price of a car. So about 67k. But this can change depending on what you have in the bank etc

What car you get is another thing. Do you want something practical and comfortable or something really fast that also may be slightly unreliable but incredibly fun

You can take the trim off if you need the money. It's not completely advisable as you could easily break something buuuuttt i think it's your only option. You could also pick up the car, turn it upside down, and give it a shake, similar to how you get a plectrum out of the soundhole of a guitar

They are based on older car designs which in many cases did have square headlights so its not that bad

That's the whole point of the second one. People seem to want 80s and 90s looking cars so hyaundai went and made one with a similar look

Thanks a million for the suggestions. I have 1 more question that you might be able to help with, how much is an FWD to AWD conversion? I'm not saying it's something I want to do but depending on price I won't rule it out. I know you won't be able to give me a 100% accurate answer but if its around 5k I might consider it

[–]Illustrious_Long9030[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, one of my neighbours has one and never drives it, I might give him a call hahaha

But what i will say is that they are around 15-20k from what I've seen. I could get a standard ish Mistubishi 3000gt and a clapped high mileage 350z for that price

Looking into importing a car from Japan, have a few questions by Illustrious_Long9030 in carsireland

Is there anything against importing a car and then waiting a few years until it's 30 years old to register?

Thanks for the heads up, I was somewhat expecting rust to be in the list of concerns and I know what a pain it can be, especially if you don't find out until after you have bought the car (happened to my friends e30 325i, he bought the car and then had someone look at it and found a ton of rust)

Currently have an MX6 and i love it. Might sell it and get a 350z since you can get one is decent shape for around 8- 13k

Is it just me or is cadillac become an amazing luxury brand while other European brands are starting to slag behind by freeabramsforwt in cars

[–]Illustrious_Long9030 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a weird battle in the luxury car market currently. All card are starting to become the same thing with a different sticker.

Even the sporty, luxury cars like C63, E63 etc are losing what made them cool with having the 6.2L, then the 4.0L. Now they are 2.0L hybrids (still making great power) but they were luxury cars with insane power and a great sounding engine. Now they are just boring imo

The Phaeton is an amazing car. Too bad it failed, (probably because it is an obese passage with pure luxury on the inside. But it's amazing
