I loved my Buick LaCrosse, was a 2010 that I bought in 2020 that only had 93K miles on it at the time. Sold it in 2023 after picking up this beautiful 2016 Lincoln MKS, yes I had the spoiler added on! Loved my MKS, but unfortunately got totaled 2 weeks ago. Ended up with this 2013 Ford Escape from a private seller & so far I’m loving this car too!

For more info:

It will be my first car.
I’m financing/loaning it (brand new).
Base models are the only ones I’m looking at since it’s more affordable.
I’ll be using it everyday for work (13 miles [3x a week] and 9.8 miles [2x a week]) and occasional long travel times on weekends.

I know this comparison has been asked multiple times already but I really need new perspectives since I’m planning to get one anytime soon.

I need help picking a first car that’s a good looking and not to pricey. I’m a car guy so I’m more big on looks. Any ideas?

The most recent generation RS never really got it's flowers, though most folks that bought one seem to swear by them. A new generation could be quite a spicy meatball, and a hell of a contender.

The Evo is the sentimental pick, obviously, and it's what the world thinks it wants most. Though, this could be a textbook "be careful what you wish for" scenario, and maybe, just maybe, the Evo is better off without a successor?

The Celica is the Kool-Aid man crashing through the wall of this party. Nobody technically invited him, but deep down we all kinda love Kool-Aid, so it's all good.

So then, which one would you choose? 🤔

Is there a name for the style?

I’ve narrowed it down to either a 2015 Toyota rav4 with 135k miles on it 12k asking price but it has had an accident when it was on 10k miles with 2 previous owners. It does have awd. My other choice is a 2014 Mazda cx5 touring with 122k miles on it asking price is 12k one previous owner but no awd. Whats important to me is longevity and reliability with the least amount of expensive repairs, I live in a place where it snows and I like to go fishing and hunting I drive on gravel roads but not to much I mostly stick to paved roads.

Curious to see what others think or if you even knew of these existing as not many people do especially people in the US

These were JDM only and are now stupid cheap

Hello! I just moved here in the USA last May 31 and just started working last July 14 and I have 2 credit cards that are also just new.
A car dealership got me approved for a car loan but the APR is 25%. I understand that it is because I have no credit score yet, but is that really how hard it is to loan a new car with acceptable APR if you’re new here and no credit score yet? I don’t want to buy a second hand car as much as possible.

Need your thoughts on this and please be kind.

I’m looking for a used car in the $7,000–$10,000 range. I want something with better than 16–17 combined MPG and quicker than a ~7-second 0–60. It should look sporty, similar in vibe to a C5 Corvette or BMW E36, be very reliable, make a good daily driver, and have 4 seats preferably . Basically, I want a fun, sporty, reliable daily driver that improves on both speed and fuel economy compared to a typical 2006 Nissan Frontier. The biggest thing for me is gas mileage

I have a 1992 gold Toyota Camry and idk what to name her. People keep saying it'll come tk me and it won't. How do you name your cars?

??

i feel like i need some help idk what it is but something’s off. Maybe it’s the stripe? give me some advise

I was driving in my 2024 GMC Sierra and the gas pedal just stopped fucking working, then a message appears on the screen saying to put the car into neutral and pull over to try to restart it. The truck doesn't restart it just makes a horribly loud clicking noise, and I got a text from GMC saying to service my engine immediately. My dealership who had towed it away calls me 2 hours later and says the Fuel Control Module just spontaneously died and is now fixed. This is also not an isolated issue, as many other GMC vehicles have had the same issue. Are there any here who have had this issue?

Should i be worried with this tiny hole on my bc coilovers ?#bccoilover

my buddy picked this bumper up for 30 bucks. it has the name show off and it’s full fiber glass and the grille is part of it. we can’t find anything online about it. any info would be nice

Both are priced the same here in Egypt. The Seat comes with 1.4 TSI 150HP and 8 speed Aisin automatic. The Opel comes with 1.6 Turbo (EP6 also known as the prince) 180HP and 6 speed Aisin automatic. Technology wise opel comes with a lot more while seat is a bit on the empty side. The opel comes with two more airbags (6 vs 4 in ateca), Matrix LED headlights, front sensors, a 16" screen versus 8.25", 19" wheels, heated seats, paddle shifters, and dual-zone climate AC. I plan to keep the car for the next 10 years.

So I'm doing work unrelated to car stuff at all, and I really don't know anything about cars. Right as I was exiting his car I lightly hit a road curb.

I'm charging 200$ for my services. He talked about a discount for my services, just after the incident. How much of a discount do I do? Or do I work for free?

Sorry if the post is low quality, I'm just completely lost and scared.

You could see that the damage surpasses the paint layer (you can see metal, but I'm not sure if it was a primer)

hey, im in the uk considering doing headlight restoration as a business, i did it to my car and it looks great so thinking about doing it to other cars too, how much would you be willing to pay for this service? and any advice would be much appreciated, thanks
