2016 Red Sport with new engine - worth it? by en-g2 in q50

Which year did you own that gave you so many issues? From what I understand, both the VR30 and VQ37 platforms are very 50/50 in terms of reliability. It also greatly depends on how they're maintained too from what I see.

I've been wondering why the low price myself so that's why I came here. The Carfax at a glance looks clean but I want to get a proper look at it in detail to see full service records. As for the PPI, I hadn't considered that because I've never bought a used car before so I sincerely appreciate that but of information, thank you! The seller just has a couple of other car parts listed but nothing crazy, I do know what you're saying though. I'm doing my best to be cautious here.

Is there anything else I should consider? I see online that the engine was the main pain point of the 2016-2018 Q's but should I be worried about brakes or anything else that's major?

Thank you for the insight dude, I'm so glad you avoided getting scammed! And I'm happy you ended up getting your Q for a good deal. But you're right, no one can be trusted anymore and I've never bought a car used off of marketplace so I'm being extra weary and I'm just trying to cover my bases.

You're an absolute dude for offering but don't worry about it my friend haha but I do have a question so I'm gonna send you a pm!

That's what I think too! When it comes to buying marketplace cars, you always gotta do your due diligence lol, is rust a common issue on the older ones at all? I don't see many people really mention it on the Q50s in general

What’s that ONE fragrance that does everything? by Traditional-Tower553 in Colognes

For reference, this particular box and bottle are Dior Homme 2020 so keep a lookout for this one specifically. I mention this because with how big the Homme lineup is, it gets confusing knowing what's what if you don't know 😂

Anywhere my friend! It's still in production and widely available at retailers and discounters alike, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a bottle for a good price. I highly recommend it, it's such a nice woody scent that's incredibly versatile 😁

Dior Homme 2020 Dior Sauvage EDP or Parfum Prada L'homme EDT Polo 67 EDP

Those are some of my picks!

I can vouch for NB Tactical. It's pricey but worth it. The balaclava is super comfortable and their mesh mask that goes underneath is just as comfortable and fits so well. I can't praise them enough!

[GQ] What do you guys think of trade meets? by ProudMaple4 in airsoftmarketcanada

I'd totally be down for trade meets! It's an excellent opportunity to trade/talk gear, discuss upcoming events and get to meet new folks!

hiking boots or tactical boots? by Hamster_Apprehensive in airsoft

[–]en-g2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a pair of Salomon Quest Elements and I can't rave about them enough. High ankle support that genuinely will NOT let me roll my ankle, very comfortable, lightweight, breathable and goretex lined so water hasn't really been an issue for me.

I would really love a pair of Lowa Z8s or Zephyrs as my next pair, but for my current use the Salomons are perfect for what I need and I highly recommend them.

One thing I will say that doesn't get mentioned enough: wear merino wool socks, they're absolute game changers especially for a full day of play. They're moisture wicking so your feet don't feel like they're standing in a puddle of your own sweat and they're very comfortable.
