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!

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
