October '24 Chat -- Ghosts, Ghouls and Goblins Galore!

Dropped off Pontiac engine at machine shop on Monday, waiting for them to call me back to say it is done and then I will rebuild it in the garage.

Looking at a new car for girlfriend. She currently has a 2017 Toyota Corolla. I am thinking about a TDI Passat or Jetta, 2010-2014 probably. I need something cheap, ~$10k.

I could get this masterpiece: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inven...ity=&zip=76116#listing=398524611/NONE/DEFAULT

What is the bet on how long that would last? lol

If they cared that little about the outside, I'm sure it's a maintenance nightmare as well. Probably blow up in a year

Picking up my truck this weekend. Had the head gaskets and studs done.

Payments at $200 a month for another vehicle, it only needs to last 5 months for it to be worth it lol. Then get $200 sending it to the scrapper.
I agree though.

There are a few cash cars, roughly $2000, that might be okay but I have no experience with them.

Extreme over in Cambridge had a good selection. Polaris had 3k off their 4 seat rzr line last month, and this color isn't available for 2025 so we jumped on it. Only thing I don't like about it is the clutching and engine noise. The Gen 2 Prostar is loud

I’m trying to hold out for a 2025 Northstar Ranger crew. They currently have 1k off but I think it will get better as time goes on.

Getting an estimate on paint/body. Found a shop to do small dents and single stage Onyx black for $12K. also got a quote from a "Custom shop" for $35K. This ain't no show truck.

I was quoted $11k ~3 years ago on my 99 ECSB that needed some decent bodywork.

Most shops won't touch a vehicle unless it's an insurance job

Soon as my truck gets back together, it will be going to paint and body. Quoted 13.6k it's an insurance job though lol.
