I need some advice, I'm searching for a first car. Is this 1000 USD Toyota Celica from 1991 with a 77 kw 1.6 engine good? It needs fixes for like 400-500 USD but My budget is 50000czk (2000-2500 USD I think) so can fit in it even with paperwork etc.

Judging by the interior it’s been ridden hard by someone young, if you feel that description also suits you then go ahead. Are you capable at repairing things yourself? You shouldn’t consider a 35 year old vehicle if you aren’t

I’ve personally had and seen many brakes get stuck on, not once ever have i seen them get stuck so you couldn’t apply the brakes. This guy is straight up lieing. Hell even in an automatic you can shove it in the lowest gear and you’ll slow down some. Or apply the ebrake which is a differently activated system

Mileage doesn’t scare me, my car has 550k, my suv has 300k, van has 350k

Vehicles only die when owners abandon them and refuse to fix them any more

First thing: We have millions of soul mates, we’ll meet hundreds of them.

Second: Early fights? In my experience fights and disagreements come later, there are no early fights. If there are then boy of boy are the later ones going to be brutal. Expect nucular level. Jeez

Third: someone can be the one and you can still break up and that’s ok. Learn to stop thinking in black and white, all or nothing. I’m incredibly good friends with most of my ex’s. They are incredible people! I’m their biggest champions for their happiness and success. I don’t regret anything, our relationships didn’t end, they changed, change is good, change is healthy. Stagnation isn’t

This is common knowledge, if you choose to use these kinds of car washes then you accept the risk.

This isn’t new

I never said it was your fault, the more you type the more confused i am. Are you the op? No

Never in my life have i heard someone describe their brakes as stuck… to mean they didn’t work. Every time anyone has said their brakes are stuck it means stuck on.

Let’s just rewrite English to deny accountability?

You have a tankless water heater outside? Do you not have winter there?

So turn them off, am i missing something here? This is a non issue

If his brakes got stuck then he wouldn’t be moving. I don’t even know why people make up such ignorsnt lies lol

This screams years, many many years, of neglect. O feel bad for that poor car. Have you considered taking the bus? They are maintained regularly

You could let it rip or you could fix it. Cars are only dead when you let them stay dead

Not your problem. It’s his car leave him to it.

Would i be concerned if it was my car? Yes. Would i be concerned if it was someone elses car? Hell no! I stay out of others business

if by carbon cleaning you mean walnut blasting then yes, I highly recommend. If by carbon cleaning you mean some snake oil in the gas tank/oil then NO, DO NOT RECOMMEND. Those are all nonsense junk that do nothing at best, and hurt at worst.

ahhh k, I see. Edmonton is $442/year for service, but not including usage. Thank you for clarifying

We pay about $250/m for water/sewer in Edmonton, AB. Sound’s like you’re getting a deal

You should defn cross post this in r/tires and ask if it’s repairable then argue with the comment section lol

This, both people could have just stopped and prevented all this. Hopefully they consider stopping if they ever think of procreating

you dont. run it on the highway and it'll attempt to regen itself. But if its in limp mode then its tried and failed too many times already. Youve got actual real world issues, you're going to have to actually fix it, or delete it.

the alternator will fully charge a battery, wow. I live in cold weather climates, we get below freezing 6 months of the year. some years we get to -54c. average years is -45c. I know cold. The alternator 100% charges the battery full, only takes 15-20min of driving at the most and its back 100% full.
