Ya I'm the same way lol, at the end of the day as long as it gets good mileage and has Bluetooth I think she'll be happy enough

 

Is 600 a month for 3 years a really crazy car payment or something? She did pay $18,900 which was probably an overpay, but it was April 2022 at the height of the car market.

 

Nice car, that’s an ES300 with the 1MZ.

 

@treyus30 the oil could sometimes sludge up on those when they were driven for short trips and/or they skimped on the oil changes. The only other issues I know of are knock sensors and maybe occasional coolant leaks in the valley? Idk, the typical 5VZ stuff applies AFAIK but I could be wrong.

18,900 for an Avalon that was nearly a decade old is a lot, I'm going to guess she had crap credit or no down payment with that monthly. That's the monthly I'd expect for a 3-4 year old Mercedes CLK300

 

For 3 years, nah
I was at $450 for 5 years on my Golf (financed about $25k of it)

 

That thing brings back some late 90s/early 00s memories. Especially with the tint.

 

Yea it did have full service records and fairly low miles. Pretty sure it was grandma owned or something. But yea I think she’d take a loss selling it now that the market has gone down. It was also from a Toyota dealer, so it is what it is I guess.

 

Props to her for at least taking the shorter term at least, it'll be all yours before long, regardless of how upside down it is.

 

@treyus30 Higher percentage tint and they instantly look better IMO. A little less, "How much for an ounce?"

 

I think it’ll last. We’re just debating whether to do a trans flush at 75k, maybe the diffs too.

 

@Tour991 Did you watch until last two minutes of that ice karting video? I just finished it..he starts doing 360 wheelies, as if he needed to sell it any more.

Don't tempt fate, follow the procedure to drain and fill, a well maintained trans never needs a flush

 

Speaking of used cars, this is extremely similar to the RR I just picked up for my wife. I'll be curious how well it does in NR auction. Will tell me if I over paid...

Isn't there some sort of forum for small time inner city drug dealers you could post this on.

 

One bad dry season and it’s back to square one.

 

lol, idk, I kinda like the darker

 

@Speedytech7 has been roasting people lately lol.

 

I might have held back if it wasn't Ben, I know he can take my joking around.
