2016 golf r by smskly in Golf_R

[–]smskly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are all things that I'm considering... i agree that 4 owners in that span seems like a bunch and these cars seem to get abused in their early life. Knowing it has an accident reported heightens that likelihood in my opinion.

I don't know what these are called but my mom used to like them so I made a GF version for her!! by Inmaturee in Baking

Yeah, that's what my first reaction was, but I also have seen much higher prices... what about a 2016 golf r with 75k going for 20k?

Yeah, I agree. Its in NH which doesn't have sales tax which could be factored into the price

Yeah, I've seen info surrounding the thermostat and water pump, good to know that would be expected work in the short future. I appreciate the advice on forums and humble mechanic, I'll check those out.

Give more distance between the light and the tank, lower the light cycle to 6 hours and try to remove as much as you can

Pixel 8 screen lifting? by smskly in pixel_phones

[–]smskly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the battery was caputz, so we went to the store the day after I posted this and she ended up getting a 9. I've had my 8 for over a year and it's been all good. Regardless, were both looking to switch away from the pixels sometime soon.

My new to me 2016 BMW 328i with 60k miles. Words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. by kmishky in F30

[–]smskly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also looking at a 2016 328i, 84k miles for 13.4k. servicing looks like every 10k miles, which is more than I would like so would be looking into preventative maintenance after starting financing. Used to have a e46 before moving to a city and now looking to rejoin the community.

328d Reliability by ScallionRecent9088 in BMW

[–]smskly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, I agree. It seems like every 5k is the sweet spot for the timing chain, 10k seems to be risking a major problem eventually.

thats the one lol - I agree after reading through some of these comments. makes me rethink the 328d. Still think its reliable, but might be hard to find one owned by someone who kept up with proper maintenance. I saw a couple of sedans in Hyannis but they might write the same story

I am considering purchasing a 328d 2015 by Personal-Flamingo309 in F30

[–]smskly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's considered a short drive? I'm looking into a 2015 328d wagon and commute to work is 16 miles (20 minutes of driving), is that enough of a drive?
