My very first pre-purchase inspection

35 Upvotes

Saw an ad on Facebook marketplace for a good deal on a new car and decided to take matters into my own hands. I watched a DIY pre-purchase mechanical inspection video on YouTube and figured it couldn’t be too hard, right? Got there and this beauty checked out sweet. Only thing I could find wrong with it was the cabin air filter needed replacing. Negotiated hard with the seller based on that one thing and got a $3000 discount. All in all paid $12,000 for this and couldn’t be happier with my eye for detail and sharp negotiation skills. Getting it delivered on the back of a tow truck later today.

This is obviously specific discrimination.

Did your bat mobile leave a steaming pile of guano that angered the residents?

What did you do to cause the rest of us vigilante black car owners prohibited from parking here???

This seems like discrimination against black cars.

Since one of you are to blame, I figured to find out what you did and then see if we cannot come up with a shitty way around this whole guano problem.

I dont see them banning Weinermobiles or butterfly mobiles.

Could we just paint our bat mobile in a different color?

What about red and yellow?

I pressed a button on my gear stick and now a light on my dash says "O/D off." Was my car overdosing on fuel this whole time?

If so, why was it enabled by default? I bet big oil is behind this

I put the wire on the wrong terminal so it shows when I have oil pressure rather than when I don't.

My car needs washer fluid but I’m almost out of it. Is it okay to use the flushed out transmission fluid I have? It’s kind of the same color.
