If it had different wheels/tires, this actually wouldn't be a bad looking truck. But that "bro'd" setup just kills it, and makes meMexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 10:04 amThe ultimate NJ and Philly burbs car[user not found] wrote:

I think [user not found]’s dillerman will offer it for $13,500-14,000 online.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 10:01 amSpeaking of which, how much does your mk6 goes on sale for? Assuming $15k max
I would also bet its on one of its best conditions in the area, given its an FL car most of its life, so no rust

A few products are in reduced capacity, but no major products, thankfully.

Hello everyone.
Sorry I've been away for a while. Busy with work and just whatever.
It is time to get rid of my car. I don't know what else to say.
The car DID make it to Delaware and back when I went there for a weekend with my girlfriend.
At some point, my girlfriend was driving my car (I was tired and in the passenger seat), and hit a crazy pothole, taking out a brand new tire, and destroying a wheel bearing. Believe it not, it was cheaper for me to bring it to my dealership for the wheel bearing (tire was replaced for free), than any other local place. I did call KMD tuning, it would have been a bit cheaper, but I would've had to rent a car for a few days, so the price was negligible. The wheel bearing was just replaced at my dealership. While I was there, I wanted them to check out why I smelled gas or oil, and sometimes saw some small amount of smoke coming from the hood of my car when idle.
Turns out I have some small/slow oil leaks. One coming from the rear main seal, another coming from oil line connected to the turbo, and possibly from the chain cover or something.
They quoted $4,000 for the repairs. I will not be repairing it. I will be looking for a cheap car, possibly used. Can't really afford a new car. I don't want to drive it too much, so need to figure this out sooner than later.
Thanks for the help everyone. She will be missed.
I also have bad luck driving cars. I was borrowing my mom's Corolla for a period when I didn't have a loaner, going to a client's site, and a tractor trailer kicked back a decently sized pebble and cracked the windshield. Then it got worse the next day and spread, the entire windshield needs to be replaced.
Whatever, hope everyone is well. Going to miss my baby.
Also, at some point I test drove the Sonata. Sketchy dealership, but got $40 Amazon gift card, lol. Anyways, they originally offered me $8500 for the car, then offered me 10 if I took the deal right then and there. We'll see.
I can't really do a private sale since it will be taken to a mechanic.

Sorry to hear about the shit luck man. Like you said, get something cheap that you can beat on ZFG, and rebuild your cash fund after this nightmare.
