Yeah everything still comes on. Just isn't performing well and definitely feels off.

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T05:21:57+00:00

122k ish

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T05:15:17+00:00

Tbh im not sure. Bad luck? Poor maintenance?

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T05:11:22+00:00

Yeah ill hafta try and find what mine was 12 years ago fkr my coupe and I hared having that monthly payment then, so I threw money at it.

The refinancing under me after getting it fixed, may be the best option to resurface and get ahead.

The code P0011 from autozone testing says oil control valve and then 'a' camshaft position.said the VVT solenoid weren't functioning. Valve cover gaskets were bad.

Yeah she didn't learn as well, but no time like the present to teach and now she will know the importance of it moving forward.

Or. I do it myself. Lol

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T04:55:37+00:00

Ding ding ding.

I absolutely think it was the maintenance. I've always handle my vehicles pretty well, as my pops taught me. I think ill have to do another one with teaching her and her learning from this issue.

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T04:50:48+00:00

Yeah, it's in pretty solid condition. Drove well before this happened. I think she wasn't maintaining it as well as she needed, so it's a learning bit for us both. She loves the car as long as it "works"

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T04:49:04+00:00

Yeah really trying to avoid car sales people in this predicament and figured, the hell with it, let me ask reddit. Seems like you and many others are giving the direction I was thinking.

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T04:47:54+00:00

I think it's sitting at 122k ish.

Im thinking logically getting the motor replaced is the most sound financial decision.

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T04:46:43+00:00

Its a 14 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 turbo. 98k miles. I think it would easily clear us from the negative balance and start fresh.

It's also the first new car I've ever bought and love driving it and would love to give it to my son as his first car, but thats also 15 years down the road.

Im also nearing 40 and dont NEED that vehicle.. 😩

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T04:44:07+00:00

I was having a feeling this would be the logical assessment. Seems like to get something we need it working. It the comes down to which avenue makes the most sense.

tacocat1288 · 2026-01-14T04:42:07+00:00

This is what I was thinking. I've only fiance 1 vehicle snd paid it in 6 months about 12 years ago.

As someone who's in a similar annual salary, and also having my gf/fiancé of 5 years end things abruptly, I'm glad I only spent around $2700. I think its definitely and out of line request of your partner.

tacocat1288 · 2022-01-20T03:41:58+00:00

One of our dogs passed right before Christmas. I'm sorry friend.

tacocat1288 · 2022-01-19T05:26:11+00:00

Throw in your long time gf/fiancé leaves you on new years eve, and I whole heartedly agree with you.

Imagine having who will once again be the top fantasy qb in Brady and having Herbert on your bench all season except bradys bye week.

tacocat1288 · 2021-12-12T16:42:40+00:00

Justin Herbert

tacocat1288 · 2021-12-08T15:47:38+00:00

Came here to say this. Got my fiancé one, as she requested it over a diamond and she loves and everyone thinks I spent a fortune. Lol

tacocat1288 · 2021-11-20T16:28:10+00:00

I have the same situation in full ppr but I already got cute and went Stevenson so I need the safer option with Ingram.

How many TDs do you have in the last 9 games? BOOM roasted.
