47k mile car, bought it 2 months ago and put 3k miles on it
Repairs: - All 4 tires (sold bold) - Rear driver side brake line fluid leak repair/replacement of line - Transmission line replacement (no warranty) - Rear differential leak repair (new gasket, warranty) - Tire pressure sensor replacement - Front brakes replacement - Rear stabilizer bar replacement
FUCK. If it's too cheap and too good to be true, it probably is.

>buys car with bold tires and complains about having to buy new ones >okay >shit luck >warranty, who cares >minor shit, what nu-male sports cuckmobile comes with tire pressure sensors anyway? >wear and tear item, should've seen it come >whatever tl;dr stop whining
Jose Kelly
Well, you ignored the red flag of someone selling a car with bald tires
Adam Ramirez
>buying a car without knowing about that shit beforehand

A 2013 mustang GT
Sold for 19,000. Repairs quickly caught up with/exceeded average sale price. FUck
Oliver Baker
A mustang GT is not a sports car, nor is it anything particularly special. I see several GTs every time I go driving. For most people, they are very reliable cars.
The previous owner clearly fucked it up - I mean, why would you need to replace the rear sway bar? That kind of thing doesn't go bad even if you takumi down a mountain every night.
Logan Jenkins
you are a dumb shit OP >buys a used car expects to replace nothing on it. used cars dont work like that you have to expect wear and tear.
Owen Parker
It fucking squeeks over bumps. I don't know if it necessarily needed to be replaced, but the stealership said so. Mom/pop mechanics couldn't diagnose the problem.
"Hurr durr everythings tight"
Jackson Robinson
I've had two previous used cars. It wasn't anything like this...
Alexander Myers

Nathan Robinson
It's classified as a sports car.
It's faster than 99% of the shit on the road bone stock.
Xavier Morales
too good to be true? your dopey ass bought bald tires.
Andrew Lewis
They weren't completely bald. Dealership homos made the look presentable to the naked eye. I noticed they has uneven after it went on a lift and after I couldn't get any fucking traction whatsoever on dry road.
Colton Wright
Okay, so, a "sports car" is actually not what most people think and is a very narrow definition. Sports cars are, by definition, lightweight RWD 2-seaters focused on handling performance - often convertible. Nowhere in the definition is acceleration or top speed mentioned. Think Triumph TR5, Miata, or Honda S800.
A mustang GT is a Pony Car. If you really wanted to stretch it, you could call it a small muscle car too. But it isn't a sports car. It certainly is quicker than most sports cars though.
Parker Jenkins
So a brz is not a sports car?
These autistic definitions only exist for guys like you to stroke your cock to the feeling of being in a special club

Blake Robinson
Hey man, I'm just telling it like it is. I do drive a miata but I'm not going to pretend it's fast.
A BRZ is a sport coupe. You know what, I've been awake for ~50 hours on speed so just ignore my detail-focused bullshit.
Jason Cruz
Why did this happen
Lucas Williams
That's all minor repairs your a cuck for going to a shop
Lucas Howard
Hey at least you're a nice guy about it and still provided a detailed and thoughtful post.
Levi Smith
To be fair the Stang is a gt car. Meant for spirited driving but can be a daily.

How will I know when to air up my tires? I can't figure out how to use this $1 thing available literally anywhere. >- Front brakes replacement At that mileage, they were probably still factory. >- Rear stabilizer bar replacement The whole thing? Why? Sounds like the shop fucked you.
These just seem like the typical shit you find on previously owned car. If you overpayed that's on you.
Luke Torres
Holy shit, the meme of miata drivers being convinced they have the absolute best car in world is true. Cite for me the definitive outline of a sports car. The source for your bullshit you of course couldn't have just conjured up. Oh and when you're done snorting children's adhd meds and telling us its speed, remember that any form of sports surrounding automobiles, a fucking V8 mustang would beat your NA miata except perhaps an indoor go kart track. If you're car fails to succeed at any "sport," than its hardly a sports car. Btw, JDM FD RX7's that had the factory option for rear seats are not sports cars according to your autism. Lastly, you're correct in that mustangs are not special, but either you're being a hypocrit or a retard considering that you drive an NA miata. This is all coming from someone who drives an aw11.
Landon Carter
Aww poor baby. Learn to wrench fgt
Angel Hall
You're a cool guy, and that was a top-notch post.
But consider taht at no point did I say my car is special or fast, nor did I imply that something is inherently great just because it can be classified as a sports car. Also, if straight amphetamine isn't "speed" then I think you'rethe one trying to be category-elitist here. But again, you're one cool dude.
Eli Rodriguez
>>- Rear stabilizer bar replacement >The whole thing? Why? Sounds like the shop fucked you.
The car made an awful creeking sound over bumps. I don't even fucking know why honestly. They don't call them stealerships for nothing.
What can possibly warrant a complete replacement of it?
Sebastian Wright
Rust or bent, otherwise they took you for your money because your a moron.
Jeremiah Peterson
Well for one, I'm a medical professional. Me not giving enough of a shit to roll my sleeves up like a blue collar knuckle-dragger doesn't make me a moron.
Michael Scott
Still think you're too smart to pay the deprecation on a new car?
Cameron Rodriguez
sorry mang but you have no idea what you are doing.
would have been the end links or bushings. could have easily done your research and figured that out and spent fuck all replacing those 2 wear items.
if you are buying a second hand car that is anything but a shitbox you should probably do research and learn to wrench yourself. otherwwise you have no reason to come on here and bitch that you were uninformed and had to pay someone else to do simple jobs
stop being lazy
Parker Thomas
I told them specifically to look at the bushings. They tell me the whole fucking thing needs replacement.
Luke Baker
>hurr durr I bought a shitty example and it caught up with me Any reputable dealer would've put new tires on it. You brought this on yourself for looking for a deal. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Kill yourself
Kayden Wright
If you're so high and mighty then you should stop complaining that you had to pay money to gets things fixed.
either learn to do stuff yourself and pay very little for shit that goes wrong or pay the stealership to fix (and fuck you in the arse) your shit and don't complain
Chase Fisher
did you at least ask them to show you the damage?
Colton Morgan
They called me over the phone. I have no way of getting to them until the weekend.
Joseph Jones
So I basically said "fuck it".
Charles Green
>complains about being bent over because they don't know what they are doing >proceeds acting high and mighty on a Vietnamese car roasting forum
Lmao no one cares about your profession. You're retarded either way
Christopher Morris
Guy who owned my 2010 SS Camaro with 39k miles on it dogged the shit out of it. Was driving and a light rattle started 100 miles into owning it, got louder louder. Pinion was fucked. Bought it from a Rick Hendricks dealership and they refused to fix it, acted like complete assholes and treated me like shit. They wanted $6000 to replace the whole rear diff and install it. Got the broken parts myself and fixed it for $600, drives like a dream.
Kayden James
>those repairs exceeded 19k
Oh let me guess, you bought it from a dealer, and had the dealer do ALL of the work, probably at the same time as the one warranty repair, because they convinced you that they could hold it until all needed repairs were completed?
Liam Lopez
That's definitely not good for your body
Daniel Davis
Bought what? I assume you bought some shit tier unreliable sports car and didn't have it properly checked out so it's your own fault.
Owen Myers
>bought a salvage title evo x >guy had a story about how it was a bullshit total over some front end damage >carfax backed it up >got it for 17k at 40k miles >no real problems a year later
