09’ - 20’ Hyundai Santa Fe, Sonata Hybrid, Tucson, Elantra and Veloster and Kia Forte, Optima Hybrid, Sorento, Soul and Sportage with Theta II 2.4-liter multipoint fuel injection (MPI), 1.6-liter Gamma GDI and 2.0-liter Nu GDI had a class action for engine failures, it’s pretty much a guarantee that the engine will fail. I avoided the 3.6L caravan/t&c because they can have camshaft issues. Mine has the older pushrod v6 3.3.
I see a 12’ for sale near me for $3900 with 181k on it.
I wouldn’t mind a hybrid if it’s possible to replace individual cells like you can with some Prius models or get a range upgrade like you can with earlier Nissan leaf. I also don’t mind doing maintenance. We bought a Dodge Grand caravan with 180k last year and I’ve had to fix quite a bit on it. Fortunately parts are cheap for it and it’s easy to work on. My daily driver is a Crown Victoria police interceptor with 230k on it. I’m spending about $35/week on gas at today’s prices at about 20mi/gal. I’d like to find something that gets at least mid 30’s on the highway.
I actually did just contact the $750 Corolla. It has 221k and needs an engine.
East Central Illinois near UIUC. I’ve done engines and transmissions in my garage but also used to work as a mechanic and have done many more. It’s much easier with a lift though. I’ve been shying away from Hyundai/Kia due to their engine problems. While I don’t mind doing an engine I would still have to find a good used one, which might be difficult if all of them have bad engines.
The problem with that is sellers are asking high prices for high mileage vehicles near me. I might as well double my budget and buy a Prius or Honda insight.
There’s a lot of fakes mixed in with regular inventory because individual sellers can send their products to have Amazon fulfill orders for them and Amazon just mixes inventory all together. This is why I don’t buy a lot of name brand stuff from Amazon, especially things like shampoo as you don’t know what you’re getting.

I switched from fire stick to onn box and it works good enough and can play emulators. I had to “side load” retroarch as the one in the play store didn’t n’t work as it wasn’t the latest version. All I really care about is smart tube though.
How’s that supposed to work with ssh keys?
Not just because of the gendered name but also to remain independent of any other instances.
This is the first time I’ve seen a ferule called an olive.

It’s perfectly fine as long as you’re dull. However I also created !dullsters@dullsters.net as a second channel.
C’s get degrees. The only thing that matters in life is being attractive, and having confidence in yourself.
No and no, I’m thinking about working for myself as an independent automotive diagnostician. That would still be somewhat unethical and hard work, but at least I’d face real challenges and be helping people on an individual level. I can’t just quit my day job right off the bat due to health insurance. I’d have to start doing work on the side, but business insurance plus equipment and subscriptions would make it difficult to break even. Plus I haven’t worked on cars professionally in about 12 years so I’m not up to snuff on working on newer cars.
Same, but I live in a small town with few other options, so I have to weigh the cost of driving 30 minutes one way if I need something immediately.

They did an ecu update for more sensitive knock sensing and extended the engine warranty to 15yr/150k. I heard they replaced a ton of engines under warranty, but I can’t imagine that they changed much in the engine design. The problem is rod bearings failing and the engine seized. Some analysis showed that there could have still been machining debris in the engine from the factory or overall oiling issues. Lack of maintenance probably plays a factor as well. It looks like they were just poorly designed.
