Red pill me on the 07 Escalade ext, there’s a super clean low miles one for sale locally. I’m thinking of buying it. 89,000 miles, one owner, 16.5k
>>28805780Good cars (as are most non-North star caddys)You can get them for even less, they have bling factor and delightful gimmicks while still retaining simplistic design for the drive train. You'll feel like you're floating on a cloud but you won't win races (stock) you won't sip fuel either not that you care. If you plan to do any truck stuff beyond hauling hoes in the bed then you'll be in for a rude awakening because that won't be a builders rig. One thing to note about owning a cadillac is people WILL treat/interpret you differently. It's real, even the enthusiasts who talk down on cadillacs alter how they approach conversing with you be it of falsely premised envy or try to play you for laughs you'll be suprised either way. Be prepared to be referred to as "Boss" or "chief" frequently, I didnt believe it at all until I rode around my mid 90s' Fleetwood and observed the image change. And while they're not the best escalade thr very first wave of escalades are appreciating in value due to their impact on the American car market, American culture, and how they altered the perception of wealth (Being associated with an SUV rather than a Full sized luxury sedan)
>>28805780The previous gen is the one you want preferably. More iconic looks (subjective), 4L65 problems instead of 6L80 problems, but you get a bulletproof 6.0 LQ9 instead of an L97 6.2L that's known for eating lifters. '07 predates the AFM shit being active that would have to be disabled, but the mechanical bits are just the same and have the same risk of failure, although it's reduced somewhat by AFM not being active. There's been lawsuits about it over the years, even.There's also reason that when you see a line of GMT800 and GMT900 Escalades in the junkyard, the LQ9 6.0 is the one that everybody rips out to use for swaps, while the L97 6.2L has virtually none of that reputation despite having a bit more power out of the box (easily nullified as the Vortec engines are heavily restricted from factory).Even with one owner and 0 rust I see that as rather pricy, although if you're set on a GMT900 it at least means you have a better chance at having a reliable car with that low mileage since you'll be able to do things like oil changes on time. I've owned plenty of "notoriously unreliable" cars and never had issues just by keeping a regular maintenance schedule FWIW.

>>28803969I'm driving a 25 year old shitbox van, I can park anywhere I want. If I break the car I just give it to scrap metal so they can make Pepsi cans from it. This much snow doesn't even look unparkable. I'd be most worried about my handbrake freezing over.
>>28804937Sanderro is just Logan. Way lower in class. Basically it's one platform with current Lada.

How do I upgrade from this? It's my first car, year 2000, V6, but a bit clapped out. Changing it for a 4cylinders sounds gay. Thoughts?

I always get sedans because I prefer the body and look, but want a car that's more practical and spacious for when I go backcountry camping and road trips and something that can actually handle shitty roads/borderline offroadingI've been really considering the 2010-2012 RAV4 with 4WD (or at least AWD), but I'm finding it hard to justify paying $12-14K for a nearly 15 year old car. Toyota tax and all that, and at least it's reliable and can last a long time and shit, but still. But they have the tire on the back which rocks and makes it stand out. All other modern SUVs/crossovers including post-3rd gen RAV4s look like shit. Foresters get mogged by RAV4s and CR-Vs are for women and look like shit post-1st gen. I prefer the boxy-ness of older SUVs/crossovers vs how every modern SUV looks the same.Is there any other good and reliable crossover or SUV that actually looks good?t. poorfag with budget of 16K CAD else I'd get a 4Runner or some shit

Replaced the rotted plastic rod guides on my extended cab with aluminum ones to fix my doors. What did you improve on your fleet lately?

Still trying to get my motor unstuck (sat for 40 years). Already soaked the cylinders, now I’ve taken to using a wood block to hit the tops of the pistons with a hammer. Still no movement. Do I just need to stop being a pussy and hit it harder? Surely rust couldn’t stick it that bad, and the cylinders seem to be in fine shape, at least the parts I can see.
>>2880545940 years means more damage if you try to "spin it".Just take it apart.Drop the crank, hammer out the pistons.See whats salvagable and go from there.

Have a rocking horse ass flywheel and some of the teeth have sheered. Can't find any for sale anywhere without buying a whole engine aswell.Could i get away with tacking on a weld where the missing teeth are and filing down some new teeth? I figured wouldn't last long but at least it would be a fix til i find a new flywheel.
>>28805609Yes, however getting the correct geometry would probably require a gear hobbing machine or lots of patience and a mill with a 4th rotary axis.Getting a template and filling/scraping until it's nearly perfect >0.002"It's totally doable, but would require bringing it to a machine shop and would probably cost less than a new engine
Four months ago I paid $7500 for a 2013 4-door hatchback Impreza. It's got aids or something because the oil light was on, I changed to 10w30 and it stopped. The check engine light came on, my mechanic says it's a timing code and cleared it. Didn't come back on for months. I got a flat tire, replaced all tires, check engine and dynamic traction control light come on together. I took it to a Subaru dealership and the guy noticed a rapid ticking sound. Instead of fixing anything he just added a quart of oil and told me to drive it to see if the lights would turn off on their own. And he said the motor was going to go at some point and leave me stranded okay bye have a nice day. Tomorrow I'm taking it back to tell them adding oil didn't magically fix my shitbox.I need a new car. This thread is for everyone who wants advice on choosing.I have wanted a WRX for a long time. I just got a good job for the first time in my life and will be able to afford it. But I just found out the STI was discontinued and looking at all the recent models is just painful. I live in Massachusetts so I really want AWD. I want something that will make 18 year old girls wanna fuck me. And I want something that is mechanically reliable as fuck. I'm not concerned with high end performance. Some modern conveniences like remote start and heated steering wheel would be nice. I quit driving in 2009 and just started again so these goddamn ipads and rear cameras and in-dash navigation systems seem like stupid annoyances. I could come around to a navigation system. But I saw people getting ads on their screens and said fuck that. I want buttons and knobs goddamn it.What do you guys recommend? In the parking lot where I work there is a gorgeous WRX in pearlescent white with a big wing on the back. But I'm fucking sick of buying used and getting surprises. I just bought this shitbox and 6 months of use will have cost me 7.5k. It's stupid to gamble like that and pay so much more for a worse car.
>>28804216>fag-wheel drive
>>28801220Meh.. if you buy used you need to be smart, do research on the model youre interested in and know what to look for/look out for when you inspect a specific car.This being a 4chan user, none of that is even a remote possibility so 'yeah' these "people" should only buy new cars. Preferably not subarus and other meme shit but definitely not while thinking "i have no personality or desirable traits, i'll buy a car so girls will be interested".Ergo this is a larp.
>>28801151I got a base wrx and am pretty happy with it. But I don't think they even make the base anymore, plus all the new fangled bullshit they force now.For 30k it's a good deal. For 60k to get all the feeeeeaaatures it's not.Gr corolla is mechanically better I think.Girls don't like wagons FYI. So it needs to be a sedan or suv if you don't want to be an incel. So the wrx wins there even though it's ugly as shit and wagons are cooler.
