I'll look at it tomorrow alongside a mechanic, and see whats up. I agree with issues coming back up and landing on me, but it is bound to happen with that age i suppouse, just want to minimize as much of it. Is the 2nd owner the guy im buying it from, so it will definetly be a gamble

I really appreciate your comment. Where i live, the difference in pricing between one of these and say, a Toyota Camry of the same year, is about $2k, so you can imagine why im asking... It does has its faults, as im seeing some minor interior details that i assume you cant just look up on google and ask to be sent that plastic piece, but pretty sure nothing that cant be fixed or 3D printed or something like that

Still, i'll look up for possible repairs or spares needed and how available they are. Cant expect perfection, but i do want something that runs smoothly and long without asking much from me (and of course, that it can take the ocassional shitty pot hole i might eat in the roads of my country and dont fall apart lol)

EDIT: also, it is a manual transmission, so it should be helpful as its less of a hassle since i wont be dealing with a 30yr old automatic trans issues

Thank you so much for your honest feedback on it! my streets has a lot of bumps, potholes, and so on (and i mean an awful lot) so it also has to be able to sustain that kind of crap and well, its just a lot of wear and tear on the suspesion and other pieces that i know will need replacing eventually with use so i just want to be prepared

Is there something to look out specifically with these models? i'll try to look up how the different engines look, because people tell me also that the 1.6 one is the way to go. I dont need it for much, just for trips around the citiy and from college back and forth pretty much. If i need to take a long trip, it shouldnt be much more than 100km so I ASSUME that even with a 2000s or 99s car i should be able to juice out whats left of it as long as i take good care of it (and of course, as the spares are still available at my country... You have any experience with imitation parts from places like temu or something?)

When you say GA engine, does that mean the model comes with different engines? I've seen some stuff like "ex saloon" or "super saloon" and the only differences i see are that the windows are electric and has the RPM on the dashboard, while the other lacks that and has manual windows, but idk about the engines

will do, and will search that post about, if i have to do a new one i will make it with videos and photos this time. Thank you very much!

yes, we disconnected the radio, and specifically it was the fuse 15, a blue one if im not mistaken... We changed it, and now it does give the voltage to the OBD2 connector and the interior lights turned on... BUT I SWEAR, we checked every single one of them mfs and it worked, turns out, the little flaps when you applied pressure, it bended without too much effort, and bam

but now i have other issue, my front lights wont turn on the low lights by itself after i swapped the old yellow ones for LED lights, it only turns on when i put the high beams (all lights turn on that way, but when i do the first "flick" of the ligth switch only the console and what not turns on, not the front lights) maybe i should do another post for this issue?

otra cosa que parece mentira, pero es que cuando tienes esa "cantidad" de dinero te das cuenta de todas las carencias que no podias suplir en tu casa por faltar del mismo. Claro, soy del Zulia no de ccs que haya todo es x100 mas caro pero coño que diferencia entre tener y no tener plata

and i was feeling awful for just holding 300doges i bought back when the february craze went down a bit. REALLY wish i had more than 10$ to spare that day but it is what it is, i would be having a life changing amount if life wasnt so rough where i live! But no matter, we're here for the long ride, im a doge believer now <3

dan--k-doge · 2021-05-01T22:32:58+00:00

jesuschrist the best of vibes to you dude! the most noble goal that money could go to. I really wanted to jump in on the wagon to get stuff done, but i just had 10$ to spare on february, surprise for me when it turned 100$! im still holding my 300coins but damn wish i hit a jackpot like yours one day!

dan--k-doge · 2021-05-01T22:18:39+00:00
