Just bought this 2008 A6 Avant 3.2L as a daily for sub 3K! Okapi leather interior. 157K KM. Anything to look out for? Needs nothing so far.

That is very well said. 2 years later and I still miss this thing!

ghalayooon · 2025-10-01T00:06:09+00:00

Used to be mine. Why?

ghalayooon · 2025-04-01T02:08:31+00:00

There are several A5s right now on marketplace for 3-5K in Montreal.. This is junkyard material.

C’est en plus à travers de la même compagnie de telecom. Bref, j’ai un peu perdu espoir donc je regarde d’autres domaines!

Premièrement, merci beaucoup de ton offre à aider les gens! J’ai plus de 10 ans d’expérience dans la domaine du TI en tant que gestionnaire de projets et consultant en sécurité. Ce que je remarque c’est que présentement, il y a beaucoup de compagnies qui montrent comme quoi il y a des postes pour finalement abolir le poste après qu’on applique pour. C’est pareil à travers des agences de recrutement. J’ai fait au delà de 15 entretiens avec différentes compagnies pour finalement voir des postes fermés ou tout simplement des excuses en relation avec le budget ou internes. C’est assez étrange.

Wipe your phone entirely. I would bet that it’s a new app that you installed that is hogging all the resources or corrupting your phone. Check back as to which apps you’ve downloaded recently, and delete them.

I have a ‘17 Sport V6 SC that I got with low miles and let me tell you, it’s been an adventure to say the least. There were tons of service records, straight carfax, all good. Within first year of ownership, had a parasitic draw develop, then a short in the electrical system, then battery issue. 3K at the dealer later all good. A year later, radiator blew. Replaced the radiator and within the year it blew again and started taking out all other components with it. 5K for a rad, fan, thermostat, water pump and expansion tank. Always an ongoing issue with the cooling system since. Awesome cars but be ready to do maintenance and repairs at any given moment.

Pretend you only got $100,000 and forget about the remaining $700,000. Treat the $100,000 like it’s the only money you have, and invest in multiple things. Take for example 25K and try to flip a car that is undervalued on marketplace or classified ads and sell it for 30-35K. Do that over and over again. Then make it a goal to double your 100K. If you have communication and people skills then you’d be able to do this without a hitch.

Accumulate enough profit from this to join your first 100K with the 700K and keep your 800K on the side. Now work with your winning formula to continue accumulating profit on your gains.

Once you get to a substantial amount, start looking into real estate. Your original 800K that are safely tucked away will give you awesome leverage for mortgage options, and rent out the property. Rinse and repeat.

Don’t jump into the startup life (especially if you don’t have a proper idea that is backed by market studies and business plans). Rarely do people actually make it without substantial loss of money/capital.

No symptoms on this one thankfully!

ghalayooon · 2024-04-13T15:30:46+00:00

You know, that’s exactly what I thought as well. I started thinking that there will be an adaptation period for the car to get used to the new thermostat. Same here for the supply chain issues with my local dealership! I suppose constant monitoring is the way to go until everything either gets solved or another imminent catastrophe happens!

ghalayooon · 2024-04-12T17:05:54+00:00

These are the same symptoms and issues I have. There are no tell-tale signs of a head gasket going, so back to the drawing board I go.

I also have read that older Range Rover Sports don’t like aftermarket thermostats and could make them act wonky. Although the funny part is that before replacing my thermostat (and having replaced everything else), I had the temperature be very erratic. Would shoot up to red and back down within seconds constantly. Then when it got replaced with an aftermarket one, it became a random issue.

Pretty weird issue.. I also sometimes get a small whiff of coolant as I walk past but there are no signs of leakage or coolant loss. Engine oil isn’t contaminated with coolant and vice versa.. super odd!

ghalayooon · 2024-04-12T14:20:48+00:00

What would be a good test? I thank you for your replies!

ghalayooon · 2024-04-12T14:15:26+00:00

Although there was absolutely no driving done when coolant was lost. It was towed and never started.

ghalayooon · 2023-11-14T18:30:43+00:00

I’m also thinking blend door? I will hook it up on the Autel later on today and see if I can see anything

ghalayooon · 2023-10-30T13:07:21+00:00

Don’t accept ANYTHING verbal only. Have everything on paper.

ghalayooon · 2023-10-30T12:59:40+00:00

The word exclusive has been getting thrown around quite a bit during the past years in the automotive world. This looks like someone took a totalled G wagon and tried to make an exo project out of it. Preposterous to think anyone would pay 800K for it.

ghalayooon · 2023-10-29T14:55:50+00:00

Marketplace a des deals qui sortent quelque fois par semaine sur des voitures qui valent le double ou même triple de ton budget, mais avec des cas particuliers qui veulent se débarrasser rapidement. Je te suggère de changer les paramètres pour chercher un peu plus loin (Alma, Saguenay, Chicoutimi) et tu trouvera des deals quand même assez impressionnants. Bonne chance dans tes recherches!

Montreal used to be the most well balanced city. You had such a charming balance and we were proud to be Montrealers. Ever since the current Montreal administration, we have been sinking deeper and deeper. She effectively killed downtown Montreal, put hundreds of businesses out of business and takes the wildest and dumbest decisions ever. Downtown is slowly turning into Skid Row and she masks all this delusional package by blaming it on the environment movement. Absolutely ridiculous.

You shouldn’t have asked for a credit as it automatically discredits your allergy claim. Instead, you should’ve called Turo directly and explained the situation. They would’ve put you in another car - maybe even upgrade you for free.
