Hahaha ban this fool, then he'll lose his PMs half way through a conversation. Find a more constructive way to gather 10 posts...like say...the wasteland whore thread. Not this useless waste of space...

Its good that they know you want it , makes them more keen to sell it and more sure they will, if they think your not sure they wont waste their time..but ya got haggle..haggle ...haggle.....Get em on a bad/slow day for a start, sundays, rainy days etc, days when they have no traffic or sales...change ya mind heaps yes i want it, no i dont, go away , come back, ...act like you cant really afford it...but maybe u could stretch your budget...yeah i want it but you gotta do me a better deal....but then go back to no i cant afford...just play with them and most of all make em sweat and sweat and sweat like they almost have a sale but then dont...last but not least offer them a stupid price , 10% less than what they are asking or something.. just to see what happens....Practice is good..go to car lots and just haggle with salesman over cars you dont even want just to watch em sweat, its fun believe me.. and you will be surprised and some of the deals you are offered, plus you can have fun test driving different cars......i got my wifes 04 accord from 21,000 to 19,500.. which i didnt think was too bad..i made another guy sweat bad on a kia truck went from 20,990 to almost 16,000.. but i didnt buy it..lol. ..he was working that for half a day cutting deals too...poor bloke.....you can usually get extended warranties and stuff thrown in too , but half of them arent worth the paper they are printed on..and sometimes a few services or something.....problem is with hot imports and the like the demand means they know if you dont buy it some other sucker will so they are hard to budge...Basically dont rush... make them sweat on day when they have made no cash.. nobody likes going to work and not making something for the day....wow...did i just write all that, im outta beer . Hope it makes sense, cya

Dealers are a special breed, their aint tricks jst remember that behind their fake smiles, they are esentially retards who will screw you everytime. They know that if they sell a car, they get money and although you wont be back, they will have another person to trick in a jiffy.

treat the car like a leper, get it inspected fully, then see what its worth....offer that and dont pay anymore, they wanna sell it then good. Make sure you get them to organise paperwork very fast and get the car asap so they cant go for a last thrashing, remove parts etc; even take an odo reading.

Im only 22 but have experienced, 8 or 9 buys of new and used cars; 95% of dealers are all scum!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
