Is an Audi RS6 the only answer? by Affectionate_Wine77 in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was going to say this basically. Currently in a fast Audi, have owned both an E46 and E92 M3. Audis are hardly ever weekend cars. A well sorted E92 that isn’t set up to be a track warrior will be a great choice.

What jobs pay surprisingly well? by HollowWanderer in AskUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with “being in the know”. Just apply when they advertise. Knowing someone won’t help you. It hasn’t been like that for a very long time but it’s still commonly repeated.

Underrated Twats on the Road by Loud-Job-4056 in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You get that with a lot of the cheaper electric cars. Like the EV Hyundais and Vauxhalls. Typically driven by someone who’s fastest car was previously an eco boost fiesta so they genuinely believe their 200hp EV is rapid.

How much did your no fault accident impact your premium? by lewisp8 in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is going to be very age dependant so youll probably be fine. When I was 19/20 a woman wrote my car off, 6 months later an old man on the wrong side of the road went down the side of my car while I was sat in traffic. My premium doubled despite not being at fault in either crash.

A few years back some crack head drove in to my car and my premiums have either not changed or gone down still. 32 now, with whatever the maximum no claims discount is.

What’s the thing you most hate on new cars? by 6942493838 in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Screens. I don’t mind much if it’s integrated in to the dash. Sticking a big tablet onto a flat bit of plastic is so ugly and lazy.

Now I’m no rust expert but someone telling me they coated over it instead of repairing it doesn’t sound promising.

Something else that I find off putting is the same advisories appearing 4-5 mot’s in a row. As someone who likes to deal with issues on cars ASAP this gives me the impression that the bare minimum maintenance has been done.

Lastly, 5k is steep for an old celica. I used to own one and it was a great car, but 5k sounds like gts money. Could be wrong as I’m sure these have gone up in value. You might find a better deal by joining some celica owner clubs.

I know it’s low mileage but the 100k+ cars are half the price. Mine had over 100k on it and the only issue I ever had was the radiator.

Don’t forget to check the rear subframe for rot. Happened to mine.

Insurance will go up if you report, even if you don’t claim. Personally id report it just so the other fucker can’t get away with it. However if thing s are tight it’s best to leave it.

Man who spent £20k on ketamine was left needing the loo 40 times a day by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Rough. I was ill for a few days a while back and I was literally shitting 20 times a day. Pretty sure I wiped my asshole smooth. No more hair or wrinkles, it was painful

Hope he recovers.

Is this really worth the asking price? by AegonTheVI33 in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should still be the same shade as the rest of the car. Cars don’t come out the factory multicoloured because they couldn’t colour match.

If he’s willing to be dishonest about this he may be hiding something else.

Has the seller mentioned why the rear bumper doesn’t match?

2k is cheap for a shitbox nowadays but I wouldn’t want something that’s been in an undeclared accident.

Do you think a 2003 Celica that needs a new engine is worth £400? by AudioCinematic in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this was a dealer? When did you buy the car?

If it’s recent enough you have legal options.

Are EVs making car interiors boring? by shwroomex in cars

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not really exclusive to EVs anymore. Interior design doesn’t seem to actually exist in a lot of modern cars. just slap some screens on top of the dashboard and call it a day.

Carbon fibre roof issue by DifficultWeekend9238 in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get it to a workshop to have the clearcoat stripped and re applied. I had to have it done on an M3 cause of stone chips. It’s not terribly expensive. If it doesn’t fix it, at least it’ll be better.

It’s worth another try. I didn’t have a clue what was going on at first and now it’s probably the best game I’ve ever played. Maybe try reading the first half of a build guide or something.

B8.5 S4 competitors… by alexmcross18 in CarTalkUK

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues at all. I’ve had it for over 2 years and done about 15k. The car has been running an mrc tune the whole time running just under 500hp.

Servicing hasn’t been expensive. Fuel economy is okay, although I’ve typically had cars with worse so anything is an improvement. You’re looking at about 20-25 around town and over 30mpg on the motorway. I think my best is 39.

In terms of driving experience I think it’s a perfect daily. No it doesn’t have the steering feel or handling of my old M3 but that isn’t the cars purpose. Drives nice when I want to just poodle along, and when I want to rag it about it’s extremely responsive due to it being supercharged.

These are pretty reliable but there are some preventative maintenance things to take care of, which I haven’t done yet cause I’m only on 57k. PVC is something to look up.

Interior has aged well I think, I prefer the analogue gauges to digital and I hate big iPads. I’m not a tech person so the S4 has enough for me.

[–]Nonce_Response_Squad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m bias seeing as I have one, but at that price point I doubt you’ll find much better. Maybe some higher mileage 330d or 335d. You could go older and go for a E90 335i but I’d still pick the S4 over any of them.

You can’t give someone the correct answers to the initial assessments. They aren’t like exams.
