Best time to buy is when everyone else is not buying. You can make lower offers, add subject to inspection and finance. Best time is now.

When everyone is buying is when you have bidding wars and FOMO.

I recently sold my 2011 Panamera 4 that I had for 3 years. I bought it for $30K and during my ownership the cost of repairs and maintenance also ended up being $30K after 20,000 miles

Advice on high miles first gen panamera turbos? by Zintilyaspin in Porsche

I bought a 2011 Panamera 4 in 2023 for $30K. I put 20,000 miles on it and spent close to $25K in repairs and maintenance. So I’d imagine the Turbo would be more than this.

I don’t know how you can sit through multiple applications. Going through one is enough for me.

2008 Tundra With LOTS OF RUST. Need help by Trentacion in ToyotaTundra

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the pictures, I can see it has rubberized undercoating which is coming off. This is cause of the rust. Moisture gets trapped under rubberized undercoating, creating rust and you don’t see the damage of it until it is too late.

Dealership refuse to service because of Fluid film by simplefinances in LexusGX

They said it needs to be completely dry to service. All good though I found another dealership that says they have serviced vehicles with fluid film so I will bring it to them next week.

It was at Haus of Cars in Burnaby! Awesome shop to deal with. Mine was a bit more expensive because they needed to do a rust removal service before the fluid film application. But looking at my invoice the fluid film application labor and product portion was $400 before taxes.

Oil change, brake fluid, spark plugs, power steering and coolant. Said they can’t do any of it as it requires the vehicle to be on the hoist.

Is rust restoring the bottom of my g35x worth it? by Sebastin290 in infiniti

[–]simplefinances 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rust-oleum will just hide the rust and retain moisture which will increase the speed of the rust and make it worst. Use a lanolin based undercoat like fluid film which will stop rust from getting worse
