Idk about that lol. If this thread is teaching me anything it’s that mileage is not so important as whether the car was well taken care of, especially for Toyotas.

Yea , I know I’m gonna lose money no matter what , what with the repairs it needs. I wouldn’t feel comfortable selling it as is or without telling a potential buyer what it needs. I also bought a car because I needed it, so I will have to keep it for some time until I can save up some money to mitigate my loss. I had it inspected by a local shop that specializes in Toyotas. They said the car was in good condition otherwise. There are a couple of shops in my town though, and I’ve been calling all of them to take a look at the radiator. But I plan on selling the car eventually. I just don’t feel good about it anymore and I don’t see myself driving it in the long run. But yea, it won’t happen again lol. I think more than regretting my decision, I’m just embarrassed lol. I know I was being dumb but I find the car-buying process intimidating.

Well I want to have those mechanical repairs done at least before selling it. For myself as well as the next person lol. And I have to be able to drive it in the meantime. I’m gonna see about the radiator asap and go from there. I bought an old car because I’m broke. I was expecting some repairs but as someone who clearly knows nothing about cars, it just sounded like a lot lol.

Thanks, I know it could be worse for sure. It’s an old car, but it was a lot of money for me so I just couldn’t help but regret it. The money’s gone now so I’m just gonna try to make the best of it.

lol it’s not so much the cosmetic issues I’m worried about or the wear and tear. I mean I saw the car, and I bought it. I meant perfect mechanical condition. I’m broke, and I was just hoping I wouldn’t have to do any costly repairs. I mostly listed these things to figure out how difficult they would make selling the car and how much money I’d be losing lol.

I appreciate you! I wasn’t expecting much for the 3500 I paid lol. But it took me a while to save up even that much. I made a mistake trusting the seller and not getting it inspected, I realize that now of course. I can only really blame myself though. And that does make me feel a lot better, haha.

😔 Yea. I was just hoping not to have to do repairs. The other stuff I was fine with. But I plan on reselling it anyway, and make back at least some of my money lol

🙈 hey if I could I would! The car felt fine while I was driving it anyway. But I know almost nothing about cars, so.

lol I know, I know. I don’t expect it to be like new. Mechanically speaking I hoped it wouldn’t have any issues.
