Re: Car buying
Meant to bump this thread the other day. Dude texted me about a 10% off thing they have going through January regarding vehicles in stock.
So my first thought wasn't "Oooh. Let me see if the price went down and this sweetens the deal." It was "Mother fucker, are you serious? You don't tell me this ahead of time and perhaps give me a heads up...last month?"
The car is still 25k, suddenly has 200 more miles on it, and is still readily available. Used car dealers are scumbags. I'm going to humor myself and lowball him with a 15k offer.

He'll probably be replacing both the muffler and midpipe. The cost is mostly parts, and that quote should be using aftermarkets. American exhausts are still welded together, so they take a little more work than imports.
Re: Car buying
I have a question for devilfluff, if he's willing to share his professional opinion.
I have a 2002 Honda Civic EX with 134k miles. It's a manual transmission car. A couple of times this winter, my car won't start. More specifically, it won't crank at all. I insert my key and when I turn it forward, and all of the lights show up on the dashboard but it doesn't crank.
In each instance, my car has sat outside in cold weather for at least four days without being turned on. I was in San Antonio last week and came back Saturday afternoon. When I tried to start my car Saturday evening, nothing. I tried about 7-8 times that evening and not a thing happened. On Sunday, I tried a couple more times and still nothing. This morning, I was about to call the tow truck to take it to my local garage, but I decided to try one more time. And of course, it fired right up this morning.
When this happened several weeks ago, I took it to my garage and they looked at it but couldn't find a specific problem since it would start right up for them. One thing they did do was reposition the ignition switch on the clutch, and the car had been fine until this past week.
My question is do you think it's a faulty ignition switch on the clutch, or is the starter going bad? The only consistent thing I can find about this problem is it won't start after sitting in cold weather for more than a handful of days, but I can't think of specific reasons why the cold would cause those two items to not function properly. One other possible clue, although it could be a red herring, is that it took a lot of power to depress the brake before I could get it started. But once it started, the brake worked easy.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Re: Car buying
When my mom's car wouldn't start after a few days/weeks, it was the fault of the battery losing it's charge. The battery was fine but needed to be recharged. After I figured that out I made sure to start it and let it run for a few minutes every few days.

Re: Car buying
I've seen what you describe before, but it seems it would be asymptomatic in that case for the car to just all of the sudden start after not starting. That kind of randomness would lead me as a complete non-expert in cars to think it is something with the starter also.AB_skin_test wrote:When my mom's car wouldn't start after a few days/weeks, it was the fault of the battery losing it's charge.

Re: Car buying
As strange as it sounds, my first suspect would be the battery.
A battery loses power as temperatures rise or lower from a normal range(50-75ish). So if the ambient temp had risen when it finally started, that could explain the later start. People are often thrown when lights or a battery operate but a car won't start. The power required to start the vehicle is significantly higher than the draw of the accessories.
You can get a electrical/charging system test done at most shops for cheap(like less than $50), and it will test the battery, alternator, and starter.
The clutch depression switch is probably just an extension of the neutral safety switch. It basically lets the car know the vehicle is ok to start. If it is failing, it could be the cause. Does your vehicle start in neutral without the clutch depressed normally?

Re: Car buying
I thought about jump starting my car on Saturday night when it was around 20 just to see if that would help, but I gave up when I discovered the jumper cables were about three feet too short. When I tried starting it on Sunday, it was probably about 30 degrees. And when it finally did start this morning, I think it was maybe 25 degrees. I've been able to start it in much colder temperatures before, but not after having it sit unused for several days.devilfluff wrote:As strange as it sounds, my first suspect would be the battery.

I can't remember when I've replaced the battery. I might just go ahead and try that step first.
I'm not sure I've ever tried starting it in neutral without the clutch down. I've always started it in neutral with the clutch depressed.

Re: Car buying
Here's the latest:
- The car starts fine and dandy now, but I used it several times in the last couple of days.
- I confirmed it will not start if in neutral and the clutch is not depressed. It doesn't attempt to turn over.
- I took it to an AutoZone yesterday to have the battery and such tested, but they said their testing equipment was down at the time. Since it's been running OK I'm going to let it go for now. But I'll check the battery first if it happens again.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Re: Car buying
Depending on how old the battery is and how long you're planning on keeping the car, might not be the worst idea in the world to just buy a new battery and have it around ready to install one day when it's a little warmer outside and you have some time. It's a pretty easy job in most cars and if you think the battery is ready to replaced anyway, it'll save you some potential hassle at an inopportune time. I had to replace the wife's battery one time in the middle of a parking lot when it was 110 degrees out and I wish I had taken the above advice from myself.Sabo wrote:Here's the latest:

This is what I would do. I had the same problem once. In cold weather, the battery wasn't juiced enough to turn the car over. I'd have to get a jump every time I started the car in cold weather. Warmer days it was fine. As I was in college and too cheap to buy a battery, I lived like this for a month or so until the Buffalo winters forced me to buy a new battery as I got sick of standing out in the cold waiting for someone to let me use their car for a jump.

Re: Car buying
Well, so much for the battery being the culprit. I bought a new battery at AutoZone and installed it Sunday afternoon, and it started without any problems on Sunday. Yesterday, it started fine around 8 a.m. and then around 3 p.m. When I left my house around 5:30 p.m., the car wouldn't start again.

Re: Car buying
Well, that was the plan at one point. But I'm starting to have serious doubts about the longevity of my current car. I had a new starter installed to fix the problem I wrote about earlier in the thread, but now the check engine light has been on for the last few months (my mechanic says the error codes report an issue with the evaporative system, but it doesn't highlight the exact cause) and I'm starting to notice strong vibrations in the steering wheel if I go faster than 70 mph.Sabo wrote:I plan on driving this car into the ground.
I'm starting to think I'm better served buying a new car sooner than later to maximize the value of trading in my Civic. It has 140k miles now, and Kelley Blue Book says I can get about $2,500 in trade value for this area. The longer I wait, the less I'm going to get, and the greater my exposure to a more expensive repair. And since I currently don't have a mortgage payment (one of the benefits of living with my mother-in-law to take care of her), I figure it's better for me to have a car payment now than later when we buy the house from her.
So, I'm in the market for a car. I'm leaning toward a small SUV for multiple reasons. First, both of our cars are two-door Civics, and that's been a problem whenever we need to take the mother-in-law somewhere. And while Civics are great for mileage and such, they suck if you need to haul something larger than two suitcases. I'm basically looking for good, functional transportation that has greater carrying capacity than I currently have but still gets decent-to-good mileage.
Does anyone have suggestions? I've been reading good things about the Subaru Forester, and a good friend of mine has had one seemingly forever and he still loves it. He's put a ton of miles on it as well, so that bodes well. My wife and I have had good luck with the Hondas we've owned, so I'm considering the Honda CR-V, too. If anyone has any experiences with these or similar models, I'd appreciate hearing any anecdotes. I've already ruled out all German cars, as I don't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on 93 octane gas and semi-monthly repair bills.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Car buying
I have a 2004 Forester with 140K+ on it that I love. Reasonable gas mileage for the size/4WD, and aside from the standard maintenance the only things I've had to do was replace part of the exhaust due to rust and get a valve fixed, this was do to a design defect that isn't present in the current models.
My parents have had Subarus since the 80s and aside from the first that had a really badly designed turbo they've been pleased with all of them.

I am a fan of Subaru's. I loved my WRX. For almost the same money, test drive the Outback, too.
In the class you are looking at, take a peek at the Mazda CX5(known for a little more sporty driving experience), Toyota RAV4(it's a benchmark, at least), and Hyundai Sante Fe(what a warranty).
Depending on how stuck you are on a mini-ute, you may find some of the 5-door hatches as useful. Don't rule them out without at least a look. My wife is very happy with her Mazda 3.

Re: Car buying
Thanks, guys. I appreciate the advice. Going to talk to Mrs. Sabo about this some more this week and we'll decide what to do. I will say I've noticed quite a few older Subarus on the road and in parking lots. I can't say I see a lot of older Chevys, Pontiacs and such unless they are classic cars.

Re: Car buying
Need to do the same thing but the price of new cars seem outrageous. Wife's been looking at a Kia Sorrento but base is $28k and $40k + for fully loaded. No way am I going to pay $40k for a car. Maybe im just living in the past but $15-20k still seems like the right cost for a car. Of course, I drive a old buick so maybe my standards aren't that high. Just give me something that stays running and wont kill me at the pump.

Bought a 2014 Honda CR-V today. Went with the EX trim line, which had most of the features we wanted. We test drove the CR-V and the Forester but preferred the CR-V because it had a smoother ride. We also preferred the controls on the CR-V. Also, the Honda sales guy was actually very reasonable and informative, unlike the Subaru guy who might've been stoned when we went for the test drive.
All in all, today was a good day.
