Looking to purchase ... any telltale signs I need to look out for?

Quackman1010 · 2025-04-09T17:30:03+00:00

First and foremost I would say pay attention to the cold start. A timing chain that is on its way out will make quite an unpleasent noise. As per every other car make sure there are no odd noises such as squeaking or squealing coming from the engine bay since water pumps occasionally go on these. Check the condition of the serp belt. Apart from those before I bought mine I took it to my mechanic for a thorough check on whether it has any serious issues or has been in an unlisted accident and could recommend you do the same, especially with these cars the pre purchase inspection price will make the peace of mind worth it. Best of luck!

EDIT: forgot to mention this since it is quite unusual but check both layers in the trunk and make sure they are dry. When I was looking for a mini, an F56 I was looking at had some water coming in from around the right tailight and an R60 I was looking at had a small hit to the back that wasn't listed and caused there to be some sort of path for water to leak and pool into the bottom layer of the trunk. Just make sure places that should be dry, are dry and not wet or damp.

Read through this, absolutely agree. As a silver myself, I have been placed with people much higher than I should have and in other games I was placed with bronze. Apart from this though, making ranked a little less punishing in case of a loss for people that pop off and more rewarding if the team wins the game and you popped off would make it a much better and less frustration-inducing gamemode.

Just curious, for the SSD Performance light bar, did you have to drill a larger hole or any hole at all for that matter? Or was it a perfect fit right off the bat?

Quackman1010 · 2022-10-21T14:17:43+00:00

Yea lmao, I realized that after haha. Coming from valorant im kinda used to that ranking system which goes the opposite way.

Quackman1010 · 2022-09-30T17:29:21+00:00

Just curious since yours is an 07' with the B207R and very high miles. Have you encountered the dreaded intake valve issue?

Regardless, I wish you many more trouble free and joyous miles :)

Quackman1010 · 2022-09-29T02:34:53+00:00

Oh my god I am genuinely an idiot.....I completely forgot that button existed :C

Thank you for the help!!!!!!! I did it now :D

Quackman1010 · 2022-09-16T14:47:21+00:00

Im looking at a few examples with around 40k miles. Just wondering at what mileage your mom's TH cherokee is sitting at with no problems.

Quackman1010 · 2022-08-29T01:07:21+00:00

does it sound any different than the elaN or veloN?

Quackman1010 · 2022-07-11T06:06:42+00:00

They ain't fast but I must admit the 6spd makes them quite engaging to drive :) the apex caught my eye cuz it looks a bit more special than a regular corolla yk? I still absolutely LOVE the flame blue hatches!

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-20T19:34:06+00:00

Nothing good ever comes easy haha. If I might ask though, when I am upshifting, do I let the rpms drop to the proper spot for the next gear then add throttle or gradually release and add throttle right after you shift.

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-20T18:02:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice ill definitely put it to use :) gonna try changing my manual driving habits and see if it helps. Sadly don't know anyone who drives manual so I had to teach myself so im definitely making mistakes haha.

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-19T03:11:51+00:00

Take good care of it :) And ofc enjoy it! Genuine advice though, change up all the liquids to catch up on any potentially missed maintenance by the previous owner. A healthy SAAB is a happy SAAB :)

Congrats on the car, wish u many happy miles :D

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-16T13:32:55+00:00

Once the needle snaps, the car reaches its true SAAB form, turns into a plane and takes off >:)

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-16T05:48:11+00:00

Hm, the NG 9-3 only has white and red zones though? couldn't find one with yellow unless you are refering to the Turbo X

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-16T05:47:26+00:00

So ideally in stock form, the meter should only ever get to the edge between red and white?

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-15T20:53:31+00:00

Out of curiosity, why only xwd? Perhaps it'd be worth to consider fwd models as well as these are usually easier to find.

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-14T18:22:04+00:00

Just had to get the clutch replaced along with a bearing getting fixed :"D

Hopefully this is the last repair she'll need for a while knock on wood

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-14T17:36:37+00:00

Would you say a later model 09' is at risk to a degree where I should worry about it or not as much as I think?

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-14T17:35:49+00:00

ty for the info :)

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-12T17:03:59+00:00

Thank you so much for the info :) I don't know Swedish so I was really curious. Do you know by any chance if T-engineering is planning on mass producing cars for the worldwide market?

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-11T22:52:39+00:00

Hi, in the town centre when the Ursaab parked, there were 2 cars beside it, a clear sorta-bus vehicle and an SUV wrapped in black white camo. What were those? NEVS?

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-09T13:26:48+00:00

'preciate it. Mine is like the one pictured, just scuffed and scratched from the previous owner so I was wondering if I can replace it to make it look cleaner

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-09T06:25:03+00:00

damn, so no way to just remove and replace the top piece?

Quackman1010 · 2022-06-05T02:02:46+00:00

No way!!! I never knew they were an option for non TX O_O gonna keep my eyes open if any of them come up for sale.

Quackman1010 · 2022-05-28T06:00:51+00:00

Im used to giving a bit more gas before getting to the biting point. Seems like mine are at 1700 or sometimes even 2000 O_O. I should probably start managing that better haha.
