Used cars, i hate looking

[ML-TOYS]

Trying to find something suitable for me. Trailblazer, explorer, blazer, something like that. Was also lookin at a couple of Kia mini vans.

Any opinion on the kia makes.

Ha! Same thing I'm going through right now, pulling my hair out looking for a decent cheap extended cab truck.

Blazers are good, but if it's over 130k on it make sure the lower intake gaskets been replaced before it goes.

Explorers...the only good thing I have to say about them is that they have some of the easiest ball joints to replace lol.

Trailblazers, my boss had one, had it up to almost 400k before she totaled it...and she knew almost nothing about cars besides "gas goes here, oil goes here"

kia...no clue.

why not 2nd Gen MR2? 1960s Porsche 911? Opel GT?.. no?

I'd stay away from a KIA. Thats my 2 cents. My grandparents had a blazer/jimmy and they loved it.

Kia is not too bad

Found one ! second owner car, first owner was his father in law that bought it new. He had no idea what happened to it just that he hit brake and it made a horrific sound. Turns out that i listened to it when my bro in law moved it and it was the rear brake. Stuck my hand in the rim and grabbed the rotor, it actually flexed with 3 fingers pulling on it.
Somits a 98 with 150,000 miles, v6 4wd and everything works perfectly.
Do a brake job and good to go.
Grabbed it for $500 wooooo hooooo

Well a porsche does nothing for me, never understood the big hype about them.

Tough call but i think it may have a bad rotor in the rear

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Naw, just a scratch. Roll with it and see what happens.

 

[ML-TOYS]

I drove it home loke that. Real loud ride.

 

[KartFab]

at least automotive parts are cheap!

 

[Poboy kartman]

I'd take that sumgun back and demand my 5 bills back!

I've seen way worse than that, I worked at a dealership.

YA THINK?

You may as well replace both while you're at it, & the pads...

So, after you spend the time & money doing the rear brakes, you'll have about $650 in it? Great deal

Yup, and i just sold my crushed jeep for $550 so that paid for the blazer.

 

[OzFab]

Even better...

 

[crazykart]
