But i could put you in a barely used Toyota Camry for as little as $198 per month. Automatic transmission. Climate control. Traction control. Power windows. The works basically. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it would be the bulbs because they both failed at the same time, but it was. Happens more than you think, idk what you drive but I believe Toyota’s are notorious for both high beams going out at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Anyone ever sold a junk/project car? I’ve got a 99 Subaru with a blown engine, I don’t need the car and have little interest in undertaking a project this large. The tires are brand new with factory alloy wheels, probably worth a few hundred bucks. The body is in good shape, interior is 6/10. 160k miles on it when it blew. Part it out, or partially part it out and sell the rest for scrap? Get some cheap rollers and sell the tires and car separate? Just sell it as is? Whats the best way to get rid of this thing?

Depends how much your time is worth. Parting it out would likely net the most money, but it will cost some time. Sell as is would be the quickest and easiest. Is there a market for a 20 year old Subaru that doesn’t run? If not, sell the wheels and tires and scrap the rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my 99 Mercury Sable last year for a few gallons of Tide detergent. Just try and beat that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49ersfan Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) My current car is an 04 Honda, 300,000 KM on it. Its been a good reliable car but its just too old and breaking down, time to move on. I'm looking for a used car, my budget with all taxes and fees is about $20K, i'm financing the car. I'm willing to go a little over if i love the car cuz hopefully this will last me at least 5 years, ideally 7-10. The features i would like most are bluetooth, sunroof, backup camera, and blind spot sensor. Navigation is w/e, i don't like the cars navigation system usually, i prefer to use waze. Heated steering wheel for the winter (i'm canadian) is also a plus but most cars i'm looking at don't have it. I would prefer the car to have around 50,000 KM or less. I've been looking at all types of cars, right now i'm deciding between a 2017 Corolla, 2015 Sonata (with all the features i want), 2016 Mazda 6, a 2017 Acura TLX. All are around the budget, maybe $1K over but not too big a deal. The Sonata is the cheapest at about $17K pre-tax, has the most features, and only 35,000 KM. That's what i'm leaning towards now. But i've heard Hyundai isn't the best automaker. I'm just looking mainly for a commuter car to and from work, and the occasional drive to some friends who live 45 minutes away from me (suburb to suburb). Any recommendations or insight i should know about any of the process? I've never bought a car before (my current car was passed down to me from my parents) so i've never negotiated a deal, etc. Edited March 20, 2019 by 49ersfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 @49ersfan, have you looked at Subaru at all? This is pretty close to what you’re describing and Subaru’s are beasts in the snow as they’re all AWD. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/762815014/overview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a 2017 Corolla with 42K KM for $17K, considering that. On 3/20/2019 at 6:33 AM, LETSGOBROWNIES said: @49ersfan, have you looked at Subaru at all?

However i read that the acceleration isn't the best? I might go for a test drive tomorrow. If i can't find anything i really like, i might just go Civic. Thats my backup car- i know it'll be reliable for another 10-15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want something sporty, look at the WRX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a good car, a little out of my price range however I've kind of determined that this current car i'm purchasing, i don't need it to be one i love, just like. The next car i purchase, if im able to purchase one in the next 5-7 years, would be one i love, one that i don't have to compromise on.

Make sure you’re looking at the “base” and not the STI, those are more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
