I drove it to carmax and back for the first time since like 7 months, she was getting worse, the car just shakes if i dont apply moderate trottle. The engine temp light comes on when it sits in traffic for too long, so i had to stategize routes to prevent overheating, basically the fan belt needs to be replaced and the dct gets jerkier. So yeah, she's doneJohnny_P wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 10:22 amI mean it’s the cheapest model of a cheap brand.

The dual clutch for ford aka the one ford lost in law suit, is well, a shitty transmission. She decided to off the car so we're going to appraise it this weekend. We are moving in together and she will be really close to her work and her barre studio, and as you know I give her the passenger princess treatment whenever we go somewhere.

My Focus fell apart like that when it got old. It was such a piece. Funny enough my VW was even worse though lol.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 7:31 pmThats kinda expected, that dct is pretty much on its last legs

Sorry man. those things are epic pieces of shit because of the transmission. 500 is scrap value.
List it for 1900 on FB marketplace, be honest about condition, be happy if someone offers you 4 figures and wash hands of that thing.

selling privately is truly the best way to get your moneys worth.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 2:01 pmYES. Carmax etc. may give you too much money for your late model whatever but they don't market old cars or shit cars. Those you gotta take care of yourself.

So basically told whats up to his parents. Her dad was happy to willingly offer $2,500, so that her younger sister whose finishing high school now can use it/learn to drive/use it for grocery errands. He loves doing projects to pass time, so he'll probably enjoy it. So we're dropping it to her parents house at some weekend near the end of this month.

I know and fixing the other issues is not even worth when you compare to the price others may be willing to buy.golftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 9:18 amSorry man. those things are epic pieces of shit because of the transmission. 500 is scrap value.
