@adonnis - pull up, there's refreshments
Let me know about your experience . .
Bought me an 09 for $1200, 185,000 miles but it has kevlar in the doors
It needs fresh paint, that'll have me in a rental for 3 days
Needs tint . . going to be getting the best tint on the market - 3m Crystalline . . lifetime warranty and it's better than regular tint . . changes the way the interior of the car feels vs. the sun rather than just changing the look - going 100 percent in the back and 70 percent in the front
Then I've just purchased a Kenwood stereo with Garmin built in . . no more fuddling with my GPS while driving. Could've got the Kenwood with Apple carplay for a bit cheaper but I learned that it's basically just a safety feature for your iPhone and it makes your screen blank while plugged in . . Wally don't mess with no safety features
- also putting in 4 Kenwood speakers
Also got a center console with two locking compartments, a back-up camera installed and an alarm with keyless entry
After I get the paint done I will be putting a safe in the trunk to store valuables
All of this and I still haven't cracked $4k . . those 185k miles are high tho . . may be looking at a new transmission soon. The brakes feel good but when they go I will be getting carbon brakes and having them installed somewhere rather than getting whatever cheapo brakes they got on hand
I want to keep the rims low key, right now it just has the stock wheel well which has some premature rusting going on so I will have to replace those. What do you guys think? I want 17 inch black rims or maybe just replace the wheel wells with stock ones. When I get the new tires I can have them balanced with a lifetime alignment then I can get insurance on the tires . . I'll be good for days brehs
The interiro isn't bad but it could use some touch-ups . . thinking of either getting some parts from a Lincoln TownCar to replace the seats or just having the seats re-upholstered with leather . . I have no idea how much that would be but my goal is to fill this car out with amenities and luxuries. Those Highway Patrol dudes probably pushed this thing hard for 160k of those miles so I want to treat this car well, like an abused animal or something that needs rehabilitation
share your recommendations brehs
