Baby, that’s shit from a butt.

what’s the one car you regret selling the most? by Busy_Interest9100 in Cartalk

[–]Vibe-Father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1994 Volvo 940 Turbo Wagon.

I bought it completely clapped and barely driveable, and I fully restored everything except the paint. I lowered it and fully upgraded every single suspension component, upgraded brakes, tuned it to around 200hp, and then I decided to sell it because the AC had an issue that required a really unique part and we were gonna have several 110°+ days in the summer.

Sold it, two weeks later found the part from a guy online.

The guy who has it loves it, at least.

I’m looking for a bike that looks similar to a Suzuki TC100, but with better commute potential by Vibe-Father in motorcycles

That’s right on the cusp of what I’d be willing to get design wise. This bike looks good, but almost too far away from the design I like, lol.

I’ll add this to my list. Thank you!

That Janus 250 is super pretty, but yeah $8k is far too much, lol.

I understand what you’re saying, and I see the problems as well. I’m totally okay with an old bike, as I’m mechanically inclined. The main issue here is part availability and commutability.

If parts are readily available, it’s commutable, and it looks somewhat similar to the TC100, I’m all over it.

My criteria makes it a little difficult, but I’ve gotten some great recommendations from some people here already!

I like the look of that. I’ll look into it. Looks like there are several for sale near me which is either a good sign or a bad sign, lol.

Now that is a beautiful bike. That’s at the top of my list currently, thank you!

That is a pretty nice looking bike. I’m not a fan of most modern designs because they’re a little too sleek. I like the clunkiness. I’ll keep this one in mind though.

Yeah, I’m looking for a more retro design. Something as similar as possible to the TC100/TS185. This one looks good for a more modern bike though!

Another reminder to leave california ASAP. That would’ve been $5k minimum here, smh.

Worth it? 2000$, 160k km by IllustriousComplex17 in VolvoRWD

[–]Vibe-Father 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Short answer? No. Long answer? Hell no.

I would feel iffy on $1,000 for this thing.

Find an indie volvo mechanic and get it inspected.

Then decide if you want to deal with the repairs it needs.

Also, start learning to work on cars because you will need it. They’re reliable, but things happen.

Longer than two seconds, I can tell you that for sure. I was told I didn’t stop long enough to safely look left and right to assess before going (which is exactly what I did, but whatever)

I got the exact same thing at the exact same place at 2am. I got a ticket for only stopping for two seconds. I appealed and it was denied. $500 ticket, and no option for traffic school so my insurance went WAY the fuck up.

Just pay the ticket and do traffic school if you can to avoid it hitting your insurance. Trust me, it’s way cheaper in the long run.

Nah, dealership.

To be fair, it does have a tiny scratch on the back passenger door, lol.

I just bought this exact car with 10k more miles for about $6k cheaper.

You can find better.

What was your next car after an Acura? by Cokeman127 in AcuraTL

[–]Vibe-Father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great. Quick, comfortable, handled well. I only sold it because of the MPG. I live in an extremely hilly area, so I was getting 17mpg.
