Board: /o/
"/o/ - Auto" is 4chan's imageboard for discussing cars and motorcycles.
https://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/TOYOTA/CROWN/700091014330240322001/
The basics:
>Exporter: (someone who will buy & act as a middleman for you)
These guys will typically purchase the car for you and export it (FOB). Their job ends there.
Recommendtions: https://autoaccessjapan.com/ or maybe goo-net exchange. LOTS of Pakistanis in this business who will scam you (they sent me a different car than I ordered). Sometimes you can get direct bidding access to auction sites, but it costs $1,000-$1,500 and it's honestly just easier to let someone else handle it.
>Importer: Once the car arrives, you'll usually want a customs broker to receive the car in, pay any taxes, and ship it to its final destination. Think of it like a power of attorney. Alternatively, you can do this all yourself, but it's worth paying someone $500 for the paperwork + $500+ for shipping so that you don't have to take off work to sit in a hotel room waiting for the boat to arrive (boat schedules aren't exact).
The costs:
>Shipping: $3k+ typically. Potentially less (quotes from websites for RO-RO are fairly accurate)
>On-ward forwarding to its destination: Depend on distance but probably at least $500.
>Tank of gas + battery (car will arrive almost totally empty and potentially with a dead battery)
From here, just do your typical stuff like oil changes, etc. when buying any used car.
Determining if a car is good:
Unfortunately without an exporter inspecting the car, you have to trust the auction sheet (3rd party at least). Go for a 4 or above unless you want a project car where you may have to fix a bunch of little things.

How are you holding up anons?
You are getting 2000 miles per gallon, aren't you?
essentially a 3/4ths car. something that reduces the passenger side by half and uses it more for storage rather than a person sized space.
Still having the back passenger seat if you need it, but you could also collapse it for even more storage room. Keeping the stable dimensions of a normal car, but smaller, while compensating its absolute smaller size with larger interior space on one side for the driver and passenger.

I don't drive that much, I do a 20km drive from home to work and back and twice a month I go on a citybreak to the countryside, no mountains, no rough terrain. What are my options? I had hatchbacks so far, but want something a little bit bigger. As long as it's reliable, I guess I can overlook the previous statement.

I was driving today and an MRS spyder with 1BXT plates went by followed by an mx-5 with 1BXT plates. I don't recall the numbers but they weren't close together. The odds against that must be at least a million to one.
Another time I was shopping on gumtree for a second hand engine crane to put a 3sg engine into a jdm ae86. When I got there I discovered the crane was last used to put a 3sg into a jdm ae86.

I test drove it and it was flawless. The gearshifts from the 6 speed manual transmission were perfect, the clutch was not too light nor too heavy, the steering was also perfectly weighted. The car felt light compared to what I own (an 04' XKR coupe, and an '18 Mini Cooper Countryman). I almost pulled the trigger but I can't afford a third car right now. I considered trading the Mini for the S2k, but then I remembered that I need the practicality of the Mini for driving around my 93 y/o grandfather. It's the perfect height for him to get in and out of when I take him to his medical appointments. He can't get into the Jag, and the S2K is even smaller. I am not selling the Jag for it because it's got sentimental value. It was my late father's pride and joy. I've got two more years of residency training before I graduate and can start earning decent money. What are some other, US market, lightweight, manual transmission, analogue sports cars I could buy in 2 years, other than the S2K and an MX5, that are also driver's cars? Ideally something with at least as much power as the S2k, but no heavier than it. I would love an NA1 or NA2 NSX, but that's probably not going to happen if the prices keep increasing. A Lotus Exige, Elise, or Emira would also be interesting. I'm willing to consider JDM, or Euro. I generally don't like american cars except for the Viper, but those are as rare as hen's teeth where I live.
tl;dr In 2 years, I want to buy a manual transmission lightweight sports car that is as analogue as possible and reasonably affordable. Give suggestions
Ideally something thats going to last me and not something like the kias or hyundais that will get broken into. I've been seeing some Subaru Legacy's and Impreza's that seem nice or Jeeps but have been told to avoid modern Jeep.
Lets put young mechanics in to debt with our shitty taiwanese tools that are the same quality as harbor freight.
Any real mechanic will know that the the tools do not make you its the hands and knowledge that are fundamental to wrenching.
Anyone that disagrees with this is a tech school grad or a fagget that likes to larp as a subaru technician.
And never go to a race track?
Or auto cross?
Or h00n the twisties?
Or drive in a spirited manner?
All you need is a Vespa
You just need a single seater Scooter.

Why would I want to buy anything else?
I'll manage with the technical side of things, but I was wondering how I should approach it socially.

br/o/s it is over. I don't have the motivation to rebuild my car (again) and I don't even have my tools or the space to work (renting an apartment)
Hitting my 30s and I'm seriously considering hanging up my manhood and teenage dreams/aspirations and buying a soulless econobox just to get me to and from work. Manuals are basically non existent nowadays; is this what growing up/maturing feels like?
I've owned several "modern" vehicles over the last 5 years or so with this feature and I honestly hate it.
under perfect conditions MAYBE it would save 1mpg over a days worth of driving which pumps up the manufacturers MPG values but in real world applications I believe it's a null difference or maybe even a net negative when you take into account the extra components and wear and tear on the engine which might actually be worse for the environment overall.
I would be completely fine with this being an optional feature but the fact that you can't permanently disable it sucks (you can disable it every time you start your vehicle but it will automatically come back on the next time you start it).
Thoughts and opinions?
Is there anyone more reliable for SUVs than Toyota? What about Trucks? Muscle Cars?
Need help identifying a chassis?

Last thread: >>27531662
Thats a rhetorical question, I know the answer is because everyone completely overestimates the amount of space you actually need and use.
What I'm trying to say is - why aren't coupes more popular? Unless you have kids, why have backseats?
If you're realistic, the space of an mx-5 is all you need. Are your weekly grocery shoppings so large you need a huge boot, fatty? Exceptions, like when you're moving furniture, are exactly that - exceptions - and prove the existence of an overall rule. You don't need more than 2 seats and a small boot. The american mind may not be able to comprehend this.
>No Direct Injection (Port injection or EV only)
>Adaptive cruise control
>KeyFob that cannot be hacked with key reprogrammer (i.e. either a regular old school key/keyfob, or something akin to Tesla system)
>Rear Wheel Drive
>Over 20mpg city, ideally 30+mpg hwy
For what it's worth I'm not sold on the Direct Injection with Port injection. Are any of those systems actually good? I've heard they still kinda suck and the engines get less carbon buildup than direct injection but still more than traditional port injection
Right now I think there are only 3-4 cars that meet this specification, but for various reasons I'm not crazy about any of them.
V6 Charger/Chally/300
Tesla Model 3
I think those 4 vehicles are the only that match my specifications. Although really I think it might just be the Tesla because of the key fob situation.
I keep coming back to the idea that the Tesla would be my best option, but I actually don't want a Tesla. I like ICE engine cars, I like going on road trips (even though I rarely ever do). Big issue I have is that I live in an apartment in the city with on street parking. Auto theft is not totally uncommon in my area. I don't want something easy to steal. Currently drive an old panther platform, no one wants em so it never gets broken into, but I just want something newer

>have better seats, steering and less road+wind noise on the motorway than a 3 Series
How did BMW fuck up the F30 this badly?
When I drove the ST today I was expecting it to feel cheap and nasty in comparison to the 3er on the motorway but it was absolutely fine. The recaros mog the seats in any other car close to this price bracket into oblivion
I can't see the level. I used to see the point where the oil level is at. But when I check it's just oil color without delimitation. I waited 15 min for the engine to rest and clean the stick and it just return thin oil color. Am I running low on oil?
