>replace engine
scrap
Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me
I'm not sure but I think so
@Millwood Don't be hasty, wait until you happen upon a car that fits your needs
Don't be afraid to say no, don't take retarded friends because their nickname in high school was "Mechanic"
Any does as long as it's cheap and not a total pos
Everyone will be trying to scam you
Cars don't have to look like a pos to be a pos
I know
I started going with friends who wanted to buy cars
Engine bay flooded with oil
"Oh it's normal, you'll have to pour half a liter every 1000 kilometers"
Kek wtf
Also look deep for past gas installations
My old employer bought a car that had a gas installation, didn't notice since the gas receptacle was on the bottom of the rear bumper
Be aware of stray wires going fuckwhere, easy sign of a hackjob and problems to come
@sum my favourite is "The seller calls me from time to time to listen to the engine"
@Millwood get dirty and look under the car for a cut-out catalytic converter, fucked axles, hanging parts
Smoky
I'm noting this shit, thanks
No problem
Check if the AC selector knob is working
Friend broke mine by being a big nibba and kneeing it by accident
ask for test drive and drive it to mechanic
Preferrably come to the location yourself, lots of problems don't show up on a warm engine
That's what I was thinking about
Well, if you're buying a 1000 car and a mechanic visit costs 200
>200 where the fuck you live
It sucks, but is a pretty surefire way
Example numbers my dude
Do Gonbodan
i can get quick lookout for 40-60 euros from just walking to desk and the clerk takes 5-10 mins to check
Do Gonbadan*
no lifts needed
50 euro is 200 pln
200 pln is 2.5 days of lowest wage work
tho in poland you get such services probly for 5~10 euros
