r/car

I just spotted this in a parking lot, and it hit me, I haven’t seen a brand new Mitsubishi in ages. Honestly, I thought they completely pulled out of the US market and stopped selling cars here altogether. After a quick Google search, turns out they are still actively selling the new Outlander. To be fair, the interior actually looks pretty nice, but the exterior design feels so outdated to me. It looks like a last gen Hyundai.

Can't make a decision. I don't do offroading at all or haul anything except for a bike rack, but I am just a sucker for the 4runner.

The truth is the pilot fits my needs and the family, it is brand new. It has better mileage efficiency than the 4runner and it does look beautiful. Also being brand new I don't need to worry about how the previous owner took care of it.

The 4runner drives like a truck which I don't mind. It is a 2024 limited edition with 42000kms on it.

It has the bullet proof engine 4litres V6. (Last year that they are making that engine).7 seats, heated wheel, heated front seats, hitch receiver already installed.

Clean car fax with no accidents. It does not show any service records...

(It does not mean that the oil was never changed) but with used cars it's impossible to know the history.

Wife wants the pilot just cause is brand new, more family oriented, and you don't have to worry about buying an used car. Better warranty.

Deep inside I know I should get a pilot but I am really sad I can't get a 4 runner.

Maybe I will get over the 4 runner once I have the pilot.

Price: 2026 touring Cad $71000. Us $51613

2026 trailsport CAD 68000. Us $49400

2024 4runner limited CAD 62000. US $45000.

The market for 4 runner is insane. It might be gone tomorrow.

Any input is appreciated.

Just got my 2015 vw beetle back from the shop after receiving a repair. I didn’t notice these identical marks in the front until I was home. I’m assuming maybe this is where they lifted my car. They’re small, but I can’t stop thinking about them. Should I go back to the shop to inquire about them? Or is it too small and should I just let it go? Or, is there a DIY way I could make it look better?

I’ve never painted a vehicle before. What steps should I take to make this look moderately respectful.

I don’t know how to fix the dent. What exactly do I do? How do I suck it out and make it even :( it’s impossible and will look weird to fix I just know it :( and the black honeycomb part is irreparable :(

Hello guys I’m 18 and I know nothing about cars but I need some advice I haven’t gotten my first car yet and I want a reliable car that I can have until I’m 25 and I found this one on Facebook marketplace for 1000 dollars which is really cheap for a car in my opinion but there are some things that are wrong with the car and obviously I’m gonna work hard to fix it before I drive it and I know it’s either a risky decision or the best decision so I need advice do you guys think it’s worth it this is the description of the post

1997 BMW E36 328i (M52B28) Convertible — Clean Title — Non-Op
BMW E36 2.8. Clean title, currently on non-operation registration.

A lot of work has already been done on the car:

– New rear shocks and rear springs
– New crankshaft & camshaft position sensors
– New VANOS / valve solenoid
– New MAF sensor
– New injectors, spark plugs, ignition coils
– New idle control valve
– New PCV / crankcase ventilation

Transmission works perfectly — shifts smooth, no issues.

Things to note:
– Overheating issue (probably head gasket)
– Airbag light is on due to aftermarket seats
– Convertible top works in manual mode only (one of the motors is not functioning

I need input on how much should be expected to repair the damage on my car (2019 Toyota Prius).

I was on the highway a couple of days ago, and the person that was to the left of me swerved out of their lane and bumped my car.
They’ve offered to pay for the repair, but don’t want to go through insurance (apparently they just switched insurances and so there’s some kind of issue, I don’t really know).

I’ve gotten a quote from a repair shop and it was about $3,500 - is this a reasonable price for these dents and scratches to be fixed?

My car’s been hit in a parking lot in the past (this has been fixed long ago). I remember being surprised at the quote the body shop gave my insurance, so I’m aware that the cost for fixing damage on cars can be expensive. But I was kind of surprised that this kind of damage would cost this much, and the person who hit me said that it sounds extreme (I sent them the quote with the breakdown).

I’ve reached out to a couple of other shops for quotes, but while I wait, I was interested in getting some feedback:

Is this a fair price or if it’s just kinda the "we don’t really want to do this, so here’s the fuck you price"? (I’m in Michigan if that helps)

There was a day I saw someone trying to rush out early in the morning for an important appointment when their car suddenly refused to start properly.

At first, it looked like a small issue, but after a few attempts, it became clear it wasn’t something that could be fixed quickly on the spot. The frustrating part was the timing, everything else for the day was already planned around that trip.

People around were suggesting different quick fixes and even trying to find someone nearby with spare parts, but nothing was immediately available.

I'II would like to know, best way to choose trusted online auto parts for vehicle repair and replacement parts?

Update: Someone suggested me Buyparts.online, which is an online store for heavy-duty truck parts where you can search by part number or vehicle make and order OEM or aftermarket replacements. Might be useful when you’re stuck without local repair options. Has anyone here used something like this in similar situations?

Hi I was backing out and my bumper got caught on something and detached. How much would it cost to repair this. I do not want to replace because i am on a budget, is that feasible?
