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!

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
