Don’t go. It’s ok. I take things different at times cus of my disorders. Please stay and help with questions. I’m ok now.
If I could afford a 4th gen would it be ok mostly? I like it much. I fit. Everything is fine for the most part. Can upgrade speakers if I want or the screen. And I do have a friend who’s pretty good at helping with stuff. He helped me put in a new drivers seat in my ford cmax sel 2013 I had. So if needed on stuff he could help.
yes, they are mostly excellent. same issues as most other cars except for the early models with the defective exhaust heat exchangers. but there is risk in everything in life.
Except a low cost "affordable" $350 a month gen4 for $8k is being sold cheap for a reason. Very high miles of 250k or more is actually a best case scenario to drive the price down. A high mile gen4 hybrid would be a far better risk than a wrecked rebuild or a car that had a heat exchanger fail and overheated the engine. Regardless there is no chance of a parts and labor warranty to cover the upcoming hybrid battery or possible hybrid or engine issues. Which is why I always suggest a conventional drivetrain for the low cost high reliability car buyer.
Where do you get a gen4 for 8k? Im aware of possible issues with any car. Get the best car I can that I like. Then hope nothing goes wrong. Same with anyone. Have to deal with whatever pops up. One step at a time.
Old car as of now is my only option. And I am using an 04 mdx that can’t get gas because wa state changed gas station hoses a few years ago. And the only place that works good is far away which uses an older style hose. So I’m screwed. I don’t want to get an old car but not much else to do now. So I need to decide soon if my mom and I can’t figure out getting gas in the Acura. that guy I said wax a sales manager at a place. He hasn’t gotten back to me for 2 and a half to 3 days. So I don’t think he’ll work out. I don’t know. I can’t stand being ignored. There’s absolutely no excuse. I’m furious. anyway I think I’m totally screwed now.
He works at an official ford dealer. He’s been cool when I have seen him but he hasn’t responded to my texts for a couple days. He is busy sure. But every day anyone can spend 30 seconds to one minute to send a text. It’s just a pet peeve of mine. One of my most hated things. To not reply to messages. I’m just scared. Nervous. Concerned etc. I’m trying to be patient. But with something up in the air like unanswered messages I go nuts with anger. My mental disorders. Tourette Sybdrome. ADHD. OCD. Anxiety disorder. Learning disorder slight. Asperger syndrome. Depression. Fear of the unknown. Add to this my brother passed away jan 11-12. And my dad can’t walk for the last month plus. His heart is 10% or so. And is now again in the hospital from being really dizzy. Bp I think mom said was 70/40 but doing better when she left him yesterday. He can’t walk for last month plus. 2 month maybe. And my Acura I’m using can’t get gas at stations. I’m trying to replace and get my own car. I’m lonely as heck. Bla bla bla. just wanted to share a bit what’s going on and might give small idea about my tone in here. I may sound a certain way etc. Thanks to all for chiming in and stuff.
Ya it sucks. So only way to do this now is go far away to a station that might still use old hose. I don’t know where it is but it’s about 2 hrs driving round trip roughly. 50 min one way from my place. And don’t even know if it’ll work till I try it. My mom went there yesterday to see if they’re using the old hose. do not know till we try. So I do not know.
Oh ok. do not know though. so I found a 2020 Prius L Eco. Looks nice. Clean carfax. Clean title. Routine checks. Oil changes etc. looks like a nice car. Called dealer. Going to fill out financing info my mom and I and see what happens.
Not getting it. Banks don’t finance high miles and no down payment. But now I have $1000 cash but still it’s high miles. Stupid. So I guess I can’t get anything ever. So stupid. All I can afford would be high miles probably or old. Ugh. Oh well. I give up I feel like.
