thinking about painting the chrome on my grill and window trim instead of wrapping them. anyone ever done that before? is it worth buying a small paint gun? i'd need to spend like $80 on vinyl if i were to go that route, but i figure i can just spend that money on a spray gun and paint instead. i just suck at spraying with the aerosol cans so i was hoping a spray gun would be easier/come out more evenly.

Painting them with Plastidip? You don't need a paint gun, just need to be able to tape off the part you need. You can buy the application in a can.

If you're talking about painting them permanently, bad idea.

I've done both, plastidip and wrapped. I prefer wrapped. Looks so much cleaner.

NT, what's a good commuter to buy in the used market under 5k? Just something reliable and comfy for everyday. I know the choices are huge. Looking at Honda/Toyota/Nissan. Just want to make sure I didn't over look anything.

Get a Carolla

Crown Vic, Town Car, MGM

Comfy as your Grandmas living room, easy to work on and those joints will outlast any other car at that pricepoint.

i hate people who drive crown vic's, specially if the windows tinted.

cracked manifolds 

 $$$$

any v6 will eventually break the trans a la (honda/acura v6)

4 bangers blow head gaskets for fun

2nd hand nissans are always beat to the ground as well. 

they do have some nice trucks, the infinity line is nice, and the SE-R from back in the day was the best thing on the street (B13's), 240sx were cool. 

but ehh no gracias.

crowns and impalas, tinted, either blue or silver... no hub caps just black steel wheels. 

if you drive these you basically have nothing but open road, plus you can drive through the hood and see everyone scatter. 

i had both a crown and an impala like this

Damn. I bought a brand new 2016 Altima 3 months ago. Not much I can do now smh

you should be good, its new. 

just keep up with the maintance and dont fall to far behind on getting anything done. 

its just once they start to break they really get to be a money pit

A lot of their problems were on pre 2010 models, but as we speak my cousin's 2013 with 70k miles needs a new cvt. There's nothing you can really do to service them, and I guess when they fail they just replace them. He's getting a remanufactured joint with a 10k mile/1 year warranty from the dealer for $4700. I know cause I loaned him the money smh... I'd suggest you get that extended warranty if you plan on keeping it.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

My wife was a 15 Altima and the cvt is warrantied for 100K.

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

$4700 homie shoulda just walked away from that car

 

[jewseejay]

$4700 homie shoulda just

This. If somebody told me I needed to drop 5 racks on a vehicle with 70k miles that things getting sold as is and it's on to the next one

all the dudes that argue badge flossing actually have a legitimate case with this car

 

[dinanbmw]

I would have walked away too lol. Dude spent $1500 on a used cvt and $600 to get it installed. So really he's going to be out $5300 when he takes the used one back.

yeah man I really have no problem with a lot of things involved with used luxury cars and high miles and whatnot but THIS GHIBLI NONSENSE? Somehow it being new is worse. all time terrible car and I didn't even have high opinions on it before seeing Doug Demuro's video on it a while back. I'm not sure how it is even in production 

There's so many options at that price point but he said "it sounds nice and it's awd". There's nothing I can do but let him know of alternatives when he runs into problems

Ghiblis lease well and sound great. Not sure where all the flack is coming from. I certainly wouldn't buy one but I wouldn't fault anyone who did. Not everyone wants to drive a dime-a-dozen E-Class/5-Series.
