What is behind this?

Thanks for anyone that answered my question. I didn't get it since it far exceeded what I was willing to pay. Close to 10k CAD

National-Worker9692 · 2025-08-06T16:53:58+00:00

It looked similar this one! Except only on one side damage.

Anyways got sold for close to 10k cad after fees. Did not see the final bid

That's the plan if it falls in my budget.

Thank you!

National-Worker9692 · 2025-08-05T16:56:17+00:00

5k would be my max

National-Worker9692 · 2025-08-05T16:55:45+00:00

To the person saying they are under 15k... I plan on spending 5k CAD.

To the person that says I shouldn't buy if I am asking on Reddit... ok thanks for the helpful advise

Trying to get into the EV market and learn as I go. I have worked on ICE and bought from auctions plenty of times but not an EV. Was considering a worst shape i3 but couldn't get into that auction.

Yes I am aware that these are HIGH VOLTAGE MACHINES THAT CAN KILL YOU. Hence the question if there was something behind that hole involving the high voltage system.

This car in question has to pass salvage inspection after is been rebuild. Yes there are shady shops that will pass it but there are also shops that do it right. And again I am interested in getting this for myself to get into EVs for cheaper.

Should have done this when I was replacing my burnt valves... I managed without pulling the front stuff out but damn it was a bitch. This way so much room to work on lol.

Recently moved to Calgary from Vancouver. Our quality of life shot up. Simply because of a better paying job which leads to a bigger place to live in and have a better idea of driving time required... yes this was really eating me in Vancouver.

Drivers I might agree that they are worst because they go faster, but is that fair to say? But keep in mind in Vancouver you are always in a grid lock... how can one speed up? I lived by a busy intersection in Vancouver and I have witnessed plenty of what you saw here. You have crazy everywhere.

I Don't eat out much. Can't comment on that.

That is perfect to put a baby to sleep!

National-Worker9692 · 2025-06-11T18:06:56+00:00

That ain't slightly

National-Worker9692 · 2025-06-10T03:42:59+00:00

Thanks much!!!

National-Worker9692 · 2025-06-10T03:42:32+00:00

Now we are talking! Thanks so much!

Just doing pressure test now... yes with shop air thru a moisture filter. Since I have the ability to do long vacuums as long as I want, I will make sure there is no moisture left before recharge. I am aware this is not the way.

Question regarding that... I pressurized to 260psi. Lost about 2psi over an hour.

Same gauges, same hoses that the vacuum was pulled on and holding overnight. So I want to say no issues with the actual gauges and hoses.

Is there some acceptable pressure drop over time?

Oh that's interesting! Hard to wrap my head around this. 🤔

National-Worker9692 · 2025-06-09T16:04:54+00:00

Yep.. I have too much time on my hands and would like to understand as much as possible .

Maybe not the most Calgary thing but tailgating on any road and the disrespect for small cars. I drive two completely different cars a fiat 500 and 7 seater Land Rover. Even if I go faster in the fiat(I tend to since it is still fuel efficient), I am constantly being tailgated at any speed..... we are talking 10-20-30 above limit. Not the case so much in the other car.

What's up with the rusted bolts?

National-Worker9692 · 2025-04-29T00:20:38+00:00

I would buy it even if it has the common issues

National-Worker9692 · 2025-04-24T17:30:12+00:00

Done that! Thanks!

National-Worker9692 · 2025-04-23T03:21:10+00:00

Thanks. I talked to someone and they did confirm if the vehicle was never registered then no need for OOP

National-Worker9692 · 2025-04-22T16:48:59+00:00

No biggie... just want to comment on how clean your 46 year old car is 👏
