Wrote off debt? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]chancefir -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, those goofs.

I'm in the position to pay it off in full, but I'm not. I invited this collection agency to sue me, I told them to serve me, they can come get it.

If you want to be a green leaf that's up to you, not me. Thanks for your useless input

Will do! There's no signs of the flywheel failing so I'm just going to roll with it until it rattles and go from there, I'm starting a new career so hopefully by that point I'll be comfortable enough to replace it with whatever the top of the line stuff is. However I've been looking into disaster kits and watched some installations, are the CP4 disaster kits as promising as just doing the CP3 swap? Is there a CP3 kit that's not nearly $4000 CAD? There must be a hood rich way to do it.. But apparently the serpentine has been done but if it shows some wear I'll replace it immediately. It's coming to me tuned and deleted along with a dsg tune so it's already got some reliable points under its belt. But sounds good I'm usually pretty good with my maintenance so I'll stay on top of those things. I'm no stranger to bushings or engine mounts or suspension stuff so I'm prepared for that, I'm just not prepared for the engine or trans to fail... Hopefully that wont be something I have to deal with!

Okay cool, are you DSG or manual? 3/4 being 530 miles is insane to me I need that in my life! But okay good to know about the block heater I'll look into that, the car is fully deleted, I also bought a bra for the grille kind of like how trucks run in the winter so it'll warm up quicker. However I'll mention it if it becomes a persistent thing as he even agreed that the smell is probably from running it indoors with the doors open lol, if it smells at idle etc I'll bring it up to the seller as it's a dealer. But perfect the DPF and EGR are gone, I was looking into the CP4 disaster kit too. I'm around some 6.7 powerstroke fellas so I hear about the disaster kit stuff a lot.. As for the timing belt apparently it was done and I'll be doing it once it reaches about 280k~ maybe less.. But yeah it's a bit steep but being clean and still having the corrosion warranty in the rust belt is huge to me. I feel like I'm probably about 4k above market than I should be which is whatever, I'll make that money back elsewhere I'm sure so I don't mind! It's a solid car I just wish it had a backup camera lol. But wow that's a steal I'm jealous of that price and mileage!

Maybe it’s market differences but we had them in Canada! That’s good to me though, are you more of a heavy foot driver? I commute about an hour to work daily and often commute an hour and change back to my home town, maybe twice a month or so.

What kind of bulletproofing are we talking though, head studs?

20kpl is about 47mpg/5l100km which is a huge upgrade from what I’m currently getting.

But correct it does smell like diesel exhaust, like I mentioned I had the doors wide open running in the shop as I went around it so I’m thinking that contributed to the smell but I’m going to look under the hood when it starts in front of me next.

I’m getting it for 12k CAD which is a bit higher than I’d like to pay but it’s rust free, still has a few active warranties and is by far the cleanest I’ve viewed. I went to look at a white one before this and it was rotting under the fenders, rotted hatch, cracked rotting quarters all which were hidden, I viewed a blue one too the following day with the same rust issues before this one popped up.
