Looking at used cars at dealer based sites (cargurus or direct dealer sites) vs consumer markets (Facebook marketplace)?
Dealers seem to be stuck in Covid era pricing and consumers seem to be having trouble finding buyers (or more pressured for a quick sale?) and have much lower costs
Dealers markets will always carry a premium sure, I just see a huge price disparity.
2010 Volvo s40 2.4L
I had a large catastrophic sounding clunk from my front end after I replaced the control arms, year before that I replaced both struts and strut mount/bearing, end links, etc. I replaced the control arms bc I had a soft clunking noise driver side. After install and following a drive test the noise got worse and worse.
This new shop wants $150 as a suspension inspection which is totally fine. Now they want $850 to disassemble both the front struts to see what's going on as everything passes visual tests. I'm agreeable to that but they are insisting on maintaining the inspection charge.
I can acknowledge that Im a pain bc I'm not a professional and throw uncertainty into the mix (did this guy do it right and did he even buy the right part etc) but is that not double dipping?
My current clan gets about 30% participation. I'm looking for a clan with full participation expectations. I'm not an Ace by any means but I'm just tired of being one of 15 fighting.
Thanks
Looking for input. I'm playing more offline these days. I have a hardcore paladin I recently got to hell.
I've decided to run Andarial, Beetleburst, and Stony Tombs. Usually play players 1 but will up to players 3 for Andy. I'm in a2 hell.
I keep almost dying and full health potions bail me out
Level 79.
I have 1 point in holy shield and have almost maxed out conc.
I have like 90 in dex and Im not close to maxing block due to lower dex, lower holy shield, and a basic Normal Rondache (had 4os and 30 to resistances so it was a good spirit base).
I do have full resistances.
I have 1300 life (low to mid 300s vit)
Gear:
Spirit sword and shield.
Que Hagans Wisdom.
Lore
Nats boots
Trash belt with fire res and life
Trash gloves with res and mf.
27 res all Ammy
Rings with necessary resistances and maybe some stats
So what should I do?
I plan to keep running Andy and Stony Tombs til I'm higher level so I can out compete monster level and just pray for better gear.
If I have max res what's my biggest disabler?
Thanks
Which build would I enjoy the most? This is hardcore, offline. I don't have an established magic find character to funnel other good gear.
I'm leveling up a paladin, but I have him tuned for hammers. Unfortunately he found a demon machine like 3 days after I specced out of holy fire.
I sense the hammerdin will be the one I run the furthest and would like to maintain that build.
So should I build a new HF pally or try enchantress? Which have you tried and did you enjoy it?
2010 s40 2.4L, 120k miles
I took my s40 into the shop for it's yearly assessment. They stated it has an oil leak at the oil filter housing and recommended a replacement of the fentire housing.
I don't have an issue with the pcv system but I read this is a very common repair.
Should I reseal what I have? Replace with a new Volvo unit (450 kit from fcp) or replace with an aftermarket oil filter (there's a ton of em and i need to find a good option). I'm handy enough and I know I can do this.
I really am adverse to throwing heaps of money at the car as it's just a daily and I'm not sitting on piles of cash.. but she's been a champ so she does deserve appropriate care.
Also, they stated the timing belt looks fine but she's at 120k miles. It's due for replacement due to miles and no service record of the change. So that is something I want to save for and I'm less keen to diy that.
I'm looking for an offline SSF hardcore build to progress through hell and play into the new content. I also want to get to level 99.
I read that hammers aren't great on console due to positioning issues with the controller, is that true?
Otherwise I'm thinking FOH.
Can anyone on console confirm this?
