coming from someone whose dad has worked in cars his whole life, sometimes you gotta take a step back and think about is it worth putting the money into a car that keeps breaking down? Currently in that situation myself and I’m trying my damndest to just get a different car. Definitely easier said than done, but that’s advice my dad has engrained into my brain since I was a kid. I hope things get better for you soon <3

Hey anon! I'm so sorry you're going through this situation as well! It really sucks, car troubles that is! I do hope things get better for you and you're able to get a different car!

I do want to be very clear about my car, this is the first time something beyond what I have capabilities to repair has happened. Anything else? I've been able to fix myself. I just don't have the know how or tools to install a new steering gear, hence, having to take it to a shop for diagnosis + having to shop around for a cheaper options. Hell until recently, I didn't even know what an EPS was or that my car didn't have a power steering pump.

Now, re the advice: yes, this is definitely very good advice and advice I used to help me make a decision to actually purchase the car I'm having issues with now! My last car: I paid $600 for it and the repair costs to fix it so it wouldn't leave me stranded far exceeded that amount. So, new car.

Unfortunately, this situation is a little bit different on the current car. I'm still paying it off. I have about $1200 left on it before I even get the title to it. My final car payment should be sometime at the end of January according to math.

Now, this was something I thought about when I got the total from Ford for the repair. All said and done, I've only paid about $6000 for the car and a repair cost of half that seems excessive when I could just get a new car. But again, I haven't paid it off and there's not many options for me with the lien on my title.

I briefly talked about it with the Ford guy, he mentioned that I could possibly sell it to them, and they would just add that $1200 onto the total of a new car. Read: New car.

I bought this one used, because I don't have money to make a "New Car" payment. The Ford here, doesn't do used cars in their car lot, so everything is straight from the factory and costs about $18000 to $23000.

And none of the used car lots here will do a "trade in" on a car with a lien. I've already called a few places.

Now, let's get to the numbers of everything here. So, to repair the car it's gonna cost me $2466. This comes with a warranty and a guarantee that if my power steering goes out again, they'll fix it for free.

If I were able to get a new car, I would have to make two car payments, plus two insurance payments, because the state I live in, requires you to have insurance on your car, even if it's disabled, and especially so if the car has a lien on the title, you have to pay for full coverage until the lien is satisfied.

A peek behind the curtain, every 6 months, my insurance premium is $1900. So, just having this car sitting in my complex's parking lot until it's paid off would cost me about $2800 on top of the cost for a new car payment, which may or may not be more than what I'm already paying a week. Plus the cost of new insurance which is about the same on most 4-door cars for me specifically.

So, at the end of the day, its a lot of money, but $2466 is the cheaper option of my options right now, just because it's more doable than having to pay for two cars, one of which I can't actually drive anywhere beyond pulling in and pulling out of a parking spot.

None of this is meant in a mean way towards you anon, I just wanna lay out my thought process for this, because you're not to first person to ask me have I considered if it's worth fixing my car when the repair costs so much.

But I digress. I hope your car troubles are able to be resolved! I hope that you're able to get something dependable to drive! <3

[ralfmaximus]

Yes! This! An important point.

It's been mentioned here (many times) that other EVs brick themselves and yes indeed, virtually all of them have had teething pains.

But here's the thing: other automakers honor their warranties.

For many reasons.

Firstly, because (unlike Tesla) other automakers use the franchise model of sales, wherein dealers purchase the right to sell a company's vehicles in an exclusively protected region. You won't see, for example, two Ford dealerships next door to each other. This is because regions are jealously guarded and franchisees will sue the living shit out of their franchisers for breach of contract.

Yes. I know. It is extremely weird thinking of automobile dealerships as the good guys. But in this case? It works.

Because, unlike Tesla, where every Tesla dealership is owned by Tesla, and run 100% by Tesla employees, those evil bastards will fight tooth & nail to protect their franchise. It's a profit motive.

So when your Chevy self-immolates or bricks itself or the paint falls off under warranty YOU CAN REST FUCKING ASSURED that the dealer you bought it from will fix it as fast as humanly possible because:

it doesn't cost them a dime (Chevy reimburses)

they actually profit off warranty repairs (Chevy pays their labor)

they have the chance to upsell you on other stuff

they want to cement themselves as Your Best Friend Forever™ so you will give them repeat business

Another reason is that US car makers learned some valuable lessons (had their asses kicked) during the 1960s/70s at a time when workmanship was in the toilet.

GM, for example, was famous for their 1970s cars rusting through their paint on the dealership lots.

Ford made some supremely dangerous vehicles in the 1960s and got called out on it (re: Ford Falcon).

Chevy's Corvair was the topic of Ralph Nader's book Unsafe At Any Speed, an explosive 1965 exposé of grift in the auto industry. Nader's book & subsequent congressional hearings were instrumental in making cars safer. We have Nader to thank for airbags, crumple zones, and 5-mph bumpers.

Then in 1975 the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act got passed (otherwise known as the Lemon Law) that demanded product warranties MUST be honored, with horrific penalties if they weren't.

All of these factors combined to make US car companies liable for their fuckups, and to at least try and address customer grievances sincerely. It was a come-to-Jesus moment that has lasted ever since.

And because all auto makers work on that same level playing field, and birddog each other neurotically for violations, and have robust mechanisms in place to honor warranties... we've had relative peace in the automotive sector.

Yeah, sure, occasionally somebody gets burned. But usually the [evil, capitalist] system kicks in to correct the issue.

But not Tesla.

Tesla has been discovered to be actively hiding their transgressions. Making shit. Blaming the customer. Lying about warranty coverages.

And powerful people have finally noticed.

All of this, obviously, is from a very US-centric perspective. I cannot wait to see how the EU tunes Tesla up for their many transgressions.

Yee fucking haw.

A Tesla driver has brought his wife's Model 3 in for servicing because the power steering ceased operating after the car went over a normal speed bump. The service manager (note that Tesla, unlike other car manufacturers, owns and operates all of its dealerships, so the workers there are Tesla employees) identifies the culprit: A system component has become corroded—probably, he says, because the car went through a car wash. The repairs will cost $4,400. The driver observes, reasonably, that he has never heard of a car's wiring being damaged by simply taking it through a car wash.

Reuters did a huge receipts-padded article on the grifting operation that is Tesla, that they have been knowingly selling shoddy, defective, dangerous cars. Then, when those shitty cars break within the first few hundred miles, Tesla blames the owner for "abuse" and won't honor the warranty.

Inspect and Test Drive

Always inspect the vehicle thoroughly and take it for a test drive. This allows you to check for any potential issues and ensure the car meets your expectations in terms of comfort and performance.

Check Vehicle History

For used cars, obtain a detailed vehicle history report. This report provides crucial information about the car's past, including any accidents, repairs, and previous ownership.

Negotiate

Lower Purchase Price

Used cars are generally more affordable than new ones, allowing you to get a better-equipped vehicle for the same budget.

Reduced Depreciation

New cars depreciate quickly, losing a significant portion of their value within the first few years. Used cars have already undergone this initial depreciation, so their value remains more stable.

Lower Insurance Costs

Insurance premiums for used cars are often lower than for new cars, helping you save on your overall expenses.

Car Wrapping Costs in 2024: A Comprehensive Guide

Car wrapping has become increasingly popular in the UK, offering a fantastic way to personalise and protect your vehicle. But how much does it actually cost? Here's a breakdown of the factors that influence car wrap prices and what you can expect to pay in 2024:

Factors Affecting Car Wrap Costs

Size of the Vehicle: Larger vehicles like SUVs and vans will naturally cost more to wrap than smaller cars due to the increased material and labour required.

Type of Vinyl: Vinyl wraps come in a wide variety of colours, finishes (gloss, matte, satin, etc.), and brands, each with varying price points. Premium vinyls tend to be more expensive but offer better durability and longevity.

Complexity of Design: A simple colour change wrap will be less expensive than a complex design with intricate patterns or custom graphics.

Wrap Coverage: A full wrap covering the entire vehicle will cost more than a partial wrap covering only certain sections.

Preparation Work: If your car's paintwork requires repairs or extensive cleaning before the wrap is applied, this can add to the overall cost.

Experience and Reputation of the Installer: Highly skilled and reputable installers may charge more, but their expertise ensures a high-quality, long-lasting result.

Average Car Wrap Prices in 2024 (UK)

Small Cars (e.g., Mini Cooper, Fiat 500): £1,800 - £2,500

Medium Cars (e.g., VW Golf, Ford Focus): £2,300 - £3,000

Large Cars/SUVs (e.g., Audi Q5, BMW X5): £2,800 - £4,000

Vans (e.g., VW Transporter, Ford Transit): £2,300 - £3,500+

Additional Costs to Consider

Removal of Old Wrap: If your car already has a wrap, you'll need to factor in the cost of removing it before applying a new one.

Design Costs: If you opt for a custom design, you'll need to pay for the design work in addition to the wrapping itself.

Tips for Saving on Car Wrapping Costs

Shop Around: Get quotes from multiple reputable installers to compare prices and services.

Consider a Partial Wrap: If a full wrap is out of your budget, a partial wrap can still give your car a fresh look at a lower cost.

Choose a Simpler Design: Complex designs require more time and labour, so opting for a simpler design can save you money.

Ask About Discounts: Some installers offer discounts for multiple vehicles or referrals.

Finding a Reputable Car Wrapper

It's crucial to choose a reputable and experienced installer to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting wrap. Look for installers who:

Have a portfolio of previous work

Use high-quality vinyl brands

Offer warranties on their work

Have positive customer reviews

Is Car Wrapping Worth It?

Car wrapping offers a fantastic way to personalise and protect your vehicle, making it a worthwhile investment for many car owners. While the initial cost may seem high, it's important to consider the long-term benefits in terms of paint protection, increased resale value, and the ability to express your unique style.

I hope this guide helps you navigate the world of car wrapping costs in 2024!

Ford wreckers play a significant role in the automotive industry by salvaging, recycling, and selling used Ford parts. Essentially, they are specialised businesses that dismantle end-of-life Ford vehicles, salvaging usable components and recycling the rest. 

This process not only helps in the sustainable disposal of old vehicles but also provides an eco-friendly source of affordable parts for Ford vehicle owners.

Choosing Trustworthy Wreckers

Reliable wreckers will have a systematic process for salvaging and selling parts, ensuring that you receive genuine Ford components that meet your vehicle's requirements.

Chapter 3: Selling Your Used Ford to Wreckers

If you have a used or damaged Ford vehicle that you no longer wish to keep, selling it to wreckers can be a convenient and environmentally friendly option. The process typically involves contacting the wreckers, providing details about your vehicle, and arranging for its pickup. Before selling, it's advisable to prepare the vehicle by removing personal belongings and obtaining any necessary paperwork.

Maximising Your Vehicle's Value

To maximise the value of your used Ford vehicle, ensure that it is presented in the best possible condition for assessment by the wreckers. This may involve cleaning the vehicle, detailing its features, and providing an accurate description of its condition. By doing so, you can potentially increase the salvage value offered by the wreckers.

Chapter 4: Buying Parts from Ford Wreckers

Purchasing used parts from reputable Ford wreckers presents an array of advantages, including cost savings, access to genuine Ford components, and the opportunity to source rare or discontinued parts for older Ford models. When buying parts, it's essential to identify the compatibility of the components with your vehicle and verify their quality to ensure optimal performance.

Identifying Compatible and Quality Parts

Before making a purchase, research the specific parts you require for your Ford vehicle and verify their compatibility with your model and year. Reputable Ford wreckers will provide detailed information about the parts, including their condition, mileage, and any relevant warranty coverage. By choosing quality parts, you can enhance the reliability and longevity of your vehicle.

Chapter 5: Eco-Friendly Practices of Ford Wreckers

Supporting Ford wreckers contributes to eco-friendly practices within the automotive industry. By recycling usable components and responsibly disposing of end-of-life vehicles, wreckers play a vital role in reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, by purchasing used parts from wreckers, you actively participate in sustainable practices by giving a new life to pre-owned components.

Environmental Benefits of Supporting Sustainable Automotive Practices

Engaging with Ford wreckers aligns with environmentally conscious choices, promoting the reuse and recycling of automotive parts. This not only reduces the demand for new manufacturing but also minimises the accumulation of discarded vehicle materials in landfills. By embracing eco-friendly practices, you contribute to a greener and more sustainable future for the automotive industry.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid When Buying a Rebuilt Ford Engine

Introduction: Purchasing a rebuilt 352 Ford engine for sale can be an excellent way to restore or replace your vehicle's engine while saving money. However, it's important to be cautious and avoid common pitfalls that can lead to disappointment and costly mistakes. In this article, we will highlight some common pitfalls to avoid when buying a rebuilt Ford engine, empowering you to make an informed decision and find a reliable engine that meets your needs.

Not Researching the Rebuilder: Before purchasing a rebuilt Ford engine, thoroughly research the rebuilder's reputation and experience. Look for customer reviews, testimonials, and certifications to ensure they have a track record of delivering quality workmanship. Choosing a reputable rebuilder with expertise in Ford engines increases the likelihood of obtaining a reliable product.

Ignoring Documentation and Warranty: Always request documentation for the rebuilt engine, including details of the parts used, machining work performed, and any testing conducted. Review the warranty provided by the rebuilder and understand its terms and coverage. A reputable rebuilder should offer a reasonable warranty that instills confidence in the quality of their work.

Neglecting Inspection and Testing: When considering a rebuilt Ford engine, insist on a comprehensive inspection and testing process. Ask the rebuilder about their procedures, such as checking for cracks, measuring tolerances, and verifying critical clearances. Testing should include a compression test, oil pressure check, and leak testing. Avoid purchasing engines that haven't undergone thorough inspection and testing.

Overlooking Rebuilder's Credentials: Ensure the rebuilder has the necessary expertise and knowledge to work specifically on Ford engines. Rebuilding engines requires precision and understanding of the engine's unique characteristics. Verify if the rebuilder has specific Ford engine certifications or affiliations to ensure they possess the necessary skills and knowledge.

Not Verifying Replacement Parts Quality: Inquire about the quality of the replacement parts used during the rebuilding process. Reputable rebuilders use genuine Ford parts or high-quality aftermarket components. Verify the source and quality of these parts to ensure they meet or exceed OEM specifications. Substandard parts can lead to premature failures and reduced engine performance.

Failing to Verify Compatibility: Ensure that the rebuilt Ford engine is compatible with your specific vehicle model and year. Consider factors such as engine size, configuration, and electronic compatibility. Verify that the rebuilder has accurately identified and matched the engine to your vehicle to avoid installation issues and compatibility conflicts.

Disregarding Professional Installation: While you may have the skills to install the rebuilt engine yourself, it's recommended to seek professional installation services. An experienced mechanic familiar with Ford engines will have the expertise to ensure proper installation, including torque specifications and following manufacturer guidelines. Improper installation can lead to engine damage and void any warranty.

Conclusion: Buying a rebuilt 352 Ford engine for sale can be a cost-effective solution, but it requires careful consideration and avoidance of common pitfalls. Research the rebuilder's reputation, review documentation and warranties, and insist on comprehensive inspection and testing. Verify the quality of replacement parts, confirm compatibility with your vehicle, and opt for professional installation if possible. By avoiding these pitfalls and being diligent in your selection process, you can find a reliable rebuilt Ford engine that delivers optimal performance and peace of mind for years to come.

Car Rentals in UAE: How to Choose the Right One?

Choosing the right car is challenging no matter where you travel or plan to visit. Many avid travelers demand the most reliable option available. Dollar Car Rental is preferable as you can change if you don’t like it. Dubai has a wide range of rental options, so you won’t feel discouraged. Some points can be crucial when finding the most suitable option. Some of them are mentioned.

>> Money Matters The primary aspect before purchasing anything is the cost of the product. You need to set a budget before heading to a showroom. This will help you to escape the dilemma of having to choose between buying or renting. You can rent a top car if you intend to travel for a short period. The price difference is vast between various kinds of rides.

>> Vehicle Category The user’s requirements are not always the same. It is essential to know the needs of the customer. It is essential for you to understand the key features of the vehicle you will be purchasing. If you have a lot of luggage, an SUV is the right choice for you. Sedans and hatchbacks are suited to those with comparatively less gear.

>> Comfort or Celerity It is unlikely that you will find comfort, speed, and affordability in one. So you need to be specific with your preference, whether you desire to travel in the luxury of 99 serenity or the thrill of pace. If you have a large family going on an extended tour, you must choose a spacious car. You can also opt for a sporty vehicle if you plan to go on a weekend trip with your partner. Getting both comfort and luxury is important, but the price may be out of reach.

>> Check for Discounts Many rental companies offer discounts to customers who book in advance or who rent for a certain number of days. Be sure to check for any discounts that may be available to you.

>> Terrain of Travel Make sure that you choose a vehicle that is appropriate for the conditions and type of road you will be on. A 4×4 like the Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Nissan Patrol is good enough for dirt roads and canyons. In contrast, luxury convertibles from Audi, BMW, Bugatti, and Mercedes can be effortlessly driven on smooth paths. You simply cannot drive a sedan or convertible in the desert. You should consult with your dealer and brief him/her about your route and road conditions.

>> Characteristics to consider This category plays a significant role in the overall experience. People need different features depending on their needs, so this aspect is highly variable. Some features are essential when you set out on a journey, like a superior sound stereo system to enjoy music and heated seats for optimal comfort. Roads with rough conditions require extra features such as premium suspension and differential locks. It is wise to choose one with the desired in-car attributes. Color also exerts a major impact on the choice of car.

>> Additional costs People are unaware of the hidden costs associated with buying a new car. This cost increases even more if you rent. Keeping track of that added expense in your budget is in your long-term interest, and negotiating accordingly. Typically, leased vehicles come with some deals and complimentary fuel.

>> Insurance Cover Unfortunate events are inevitable at times so it is wise to take all precautionary measures beforehand. Find out if the parts are covered under warranty and if there is an insurance policy. Take comprehensive cover to avoid paying a hefty amount in case of any unfortunate event, such as being involved in a car accident. Regardless of whether you decide to buy or rent, insurance coverage is mandatory.
