minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down2·8 hours agoBitch bitch, $400, take it or leave it. I really don’t understand why people complain, either fix it up or sell it for scrap metal, why is it so difficult to sell a truck for $400?
minus-squaredazzlingclitgame@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoIt’s not just $400 - you listed out like $1,000 worth of repairs it needs before it can be driven.
minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·8 hours agoI can crank it with tweezers if I needed to. $1000? Where the fuck do you get your parts from? $200 worth of parts would totally fix this thing right up properly.

minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoWhere do you live, and why are they stealing your money like that to even say such things to me? Car battery ≈ $120 Ignition lock+Key ≈ $60 Are you shitting me, or are you really telling me that everyone has accepted getting ripped the fuck off?
minus-squaredazzlingclitgame@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoThose estimate signs are doing a lot of heavy lifting for you and you’re underestimating those costs. Maybe in bumfuck Mississippi those are regular prices, but I doubt it.
minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoI order sensors from California. Sensors there only cost about $15. I rebuild starters and alternators myself. I do most of the work, and it’s not even that difficult.
