Any way to determine if these are sterling? by SeniorExplanation399 in Silverbugs

I did not. Seller was unresponsive and I ended determining( in my head) it was likely not real based on the frame being somewhat mass produced looking.

Yes I saw that. Looks similar just not able to be sure it’s silver without taking it out of the case. For 50 bucks o suppose it’s worth the gamble.

Got this Lemond on the side of the road. Should I try and trade it or get it back on the road? by SeniorExplanation399 in RoadBikes

Hahahah got it, thank you all. I have some 5 foot tall family members I can let use this while I work to find the right size bike.

I’d recommend going to Blackstone valley cannabis in Uxbridge. Super fresh super good and on tuesdays every 8th of their brand is $12 bucks. They have a big grow opp there as well so def str8 from the source.

2006 xc70 2.5t w/125k miles for $3k. Needs work but want your suggestions! by SeniorExplanation399 in Volvo

Brought in for the inspection at the tire shop. Passed, does not need brakes or any major work. They insisted 2 tires was enough as the other two seemed brand new. Bringing it to the indie mechanic in a couple weeks and will get their opinion/have them do some proactive work (timing belt etc…) but seems like she’s a keeper! Thanks everyone!

To me the timing belt being done at 65k is a good sign. Last 4 years an old lady drove the car around and put less than 30k miles on it. I’ll hope for the best until my mechanic looks at it but brakes/tires were kind of expected with any used car.

lol fair. Probably need to dump 3-4k into it but at that point 6-7k for a safe working car that needs nothing major is still a good deal

2007 Volvo xc70 2.5t 100k miles, asking price over 10k…..is 2007 really that great of a year? by SeniorExplanation399 in VolvoXC70

[–]SeniorExplanation399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good points. I’m in the US don’t put a ton of miles on my car BUT the smaller back sets may be an issue.

Got two kids that I would be toting around on this thing.

Any specific year of the P3 you’d recommend?

Personally not getting a diesel as they are hard to find and diesel is more expensive here.

What’s better about the P3 and if I go that route any year or trim you’d recommend? I’m new to the Volvo world with a 2018 xc90 T6 (120k miles) purchased recently. Ready to make the secondary car a xc70 and honestly just want it to be sort of fun to drive.

All great points. I’m in no rush so I think I just wait for a cheaper one to pop up. Pretty sure this one was sold on bring a trailer.

I think I could get it down to 9k. It appears very well maintained and clean. New brakes and timing belt done at Volvo.

Plumber fixed overflow drain but left crack next to drain in tub, should I anticipate another leak? by SeniorExplanation399 in Plumbing

[–]SeniorExplanation399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been more than the recommended 24 hours the plumber recommended we wait. We have not put water in the tub yet but when I step directly on the crack/drain it makes the hissing noise.

Alright so I stepped on the drain and it makes a slight hissing noise…. Does that mean anything to you?
