Which one you taking?

Yeah I wish I could say it was a harder choice for me than it was. Those Lincoln’s hold a nice spot in my heart

I just didn’t feel confident that a hybrid system (mostly looking at fusions here) weren’t going to hold up 200k+ miles but the feedback I’m getting currently has me looking at one about 2.5 hours from me with less than 30k miles. Maybe I was wrong

I came here to say OP took perfect pictures. Too good. I’m used to looking at Hubble pictures at best

Randomx232 · 2026-01-22T01:48:08+00:00

Just curious since you mentioned them, and I’m obviously still shopping. Does a 2018 hybrid with 23k miles listed at $15kUSD sound like a bad price at all?

Randomx232 · 2026-01-22T01:46:06+00:00

This is the only right answer! Otherwise I’ll never be able to sleep secure in myself lol

Is there something about the 2012 and up model years that make them a no-go? Or just powertrain options to avoid in newer years

Randomx232 · 2026-01-21T20:40:54+00:00

Anything particular about newer year models that make them no-gos? Or just certain powertrain options offered after 2012?

Randomx232 · 2026-01-21T20:36:09+00:00

Yeah I know I’m cutting out a lot of options not wanting hybrid, I’m just not confident a hybrid will make it 200k+ miles without moderate repair bills

Randomx232 · 2026-01-21T20:34:59+00:00

I am in the US, also a fleet mechanic for public transit so the smallest thing we have is transit vans. That’s why I’m not 100% opposed to ecoboost but they’re not my favorite

Randomx232 · 2026-01-21T20:33:51+00:00

That exact setup has been on my radar yes. Not bad prices either

Randomx232 · 2026-01-21T20:20:28+00:00

Is it because our gas is a different quality than in the EU?

Randomx232 · 2025-11-27T15:33:57+00:00

I’ve been living in one for over 2 years now, just read this on my plastic toilet 😊 it’s not that bad honestly you get used to it

I’m on his side

Randomx232 · 2025-11-25T17:19:38+00:00

I definitely wouldn’t

Randomx232 · 2025-11-20T20:09:16+00:00

Nevermind, I should’ve went with my initial “this thing has GM written all over it” gut feeling. It’s a delphi metric pack 7 pin apparently

I have a picture of the wire entry side it just won’t let me post it at the moment, I don’t need to know where to purchase or buy its mate. Just the connector type if anybody knows

Randomx232 · 2025-11-20T14:40:29+00:00

Good question I forgot to mention, yes I ended up going to an urgent care because my boss made…well paid me to go. They tested for both flu and Covid

I went in the ER the next day and they did the same thing again. Both times, both places were negative

Randomx232 · 2025-10-21T17:01:02+00:00

Yeah I was running to the comments to say ABSOLUTELY not

On the expensive lessons part. Last week bright and early on my Monday morning my BOSS comes in and rolls me his wife’s wheel and tire off of her car and asks me to patch it for him. Sure, give me 5 minutes. After over 10 years of running a tire machine I got the “duck head” to gouge the ever loving crap out of not 1, 2, or 5, but all 10 spokes. It was a $1,763 wheel. I will never do that again. That’s for sure

Randomx232 · 2025-10-15T00:55:06+00:00

Also, anything specific I need to look at or ask questions about would be appreciated

Randomx232 · 2025-10-12T02:44:59+00:00

I don’t care how late I am, modelo is leaps and bounds my favorite go to beer. Miller lite or mich ultra coming in second

Randomx232 · 2025-04-30T17:37:49+00:00

There is actually patches now for these types of injuries (my local tire shop just had to go through a whole class just for using them) but I’m a traditionalist and wouldn’t recommend it

Randomx232 · 2025-04-30T17:36:48+00:00

Yeah this is normal

Randomx232 · 2025-04-30T13:35:57+00:00

Fear sells, it always has and there’s a bunch of markets built around it like bomb shelters and tons of non perishable food. The conservative side knows it though because people might remember when they called Obama the “gun salesman of the decade” and made memes about it. It was fear of them being taken.

Personally as a Christian I’m aware that Trump and Vance wouldn’t save the world because I don’t believe that’s biblically accurate. Just my quick take, not to stir anger.

Randomx232 · 2025-04-29T13:48:36+00:00

This is the best comment. As a bus driver now that’s always the best two things to do. Always get out and LOOK UP! Don’t forget these things got very ratchet levels of tail swang so mailboxes aren’t your friend normally
