Spoiler!

Even when I had my b16a Del Sol in 2001 it was a 1995 with only 70,000kms on it... well it burned oil then so its called the engine gets HOT of course its going to burn the oil...

Do you ever cook? with oil?

well that oil gets burned also...

when your paying for a car around 50k you can go down 10k easily.. its called bargaining and if they dont accept your offer there are plenty more cars and sellers available...

zilley 05-11-2015 12:24 AM

i dont even..

58k with this currency exchange rate.

let me know if you can knock off 10k usd on that gtr.

xXSupa 05-11-2015 12:54 AM

When was the last time you bought a car? Being able to knock even 10% off any asking price is already a huge discount, 17%?! Good luck.

Yes, there may be someone else willing to sell a GTR for 48k, but keep in mind that you get what you pay for. There must be a reason why one car is cheaper than the other.

Ive bought a few cars actually... but yeah it all depends on his situation read between the lines and figure out how to bargain thats all im saying. Always buy from private seller rather than a small dealership. You would be surprised on how much money you can knock off just by being friendly and nice to a person that is selling a car. You never know maybe that reason is because he lost his job or cant afford to keep up the payments happens all the time.

Quite a special S4 - well priced for what it is, imo

damn. a litre of oil every 1000km... is this true that it is normal? it's like a continuous oil change having to top it off constantly...may as well be diesel.

cdizzle_996 05-11-2015 05:54 AM

Man I used to light Zyx up back in the day on Vancouvercivics, always posting nonsense. If VCC had a fail button I swear every post of his would have been failed.

Save the bandwidth bro and go buy a gay Accord

Absolutely true. My friend's low oil light went on and she took it to the dealer(just down the street from her work). They topped it up for free and said she could come back if it happened again. After a half dozen or so times they said she'd have to start buying oil herself cause it was within acceptable range of oil consumption as outlined by the manufacturer.

I wonder if they disclose this when you buy the car? :lol

What does being a diesel have anything to do with drinking a liter or oil every 1000km...?

140k miles = 225k km. Just factor that in. :thumbsup:

if you look just to the left of the 141k it says "km", so you can probably switch the odo from km to miles

Great Canadian Oil Change gives you free top ups for 5000k after a change, when my old Celica had a bad leak it was cheaper to get oil changes from them than to DIY for the free top ups.

I'm assuming he means that when you're burning that much oil the thing is effectively burning diesel fuel.

cause diesel is heavier than gas, diesel fuel is closer to oil than gasoline is.

so he made the observation if the car is burning so much oil they may as well have made it a diesel!

while the speedo is in MPH, the digital odo looks like it says KM. and it also shows the temperature in celsius. maybe there's an option to change to metric?

Looks like a good beater So
Price is obo as well

I'm selling a 1993 Honda Civic Si Hatchback. I bought the car from a friend and I don't know a lot about the car's history prior to my ownership. It's a 5 speed manual, red, 2 door, sun roof, cassette player (with iPod hook up). 300,400 kilometres. [...]

Ah, couldn't see that on my monitor...good catch. Yes I noticed the Celsius readout as well.

Goes to show I've never owned a car that can switch units :derp:

For the sake of argument, let's say this is true.

That still makes it $39k CDN vs. $48k US (approx. $58k CDN) ... That's a $19k difference not including costs associated with getting it imported from San Diego.
