Factory engine covers really cut down on dust and grime. He likely took the pic post install with them removed.

Perhaps some GM synchromesh is in your transaxle already. Honda gears love that sauce.
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

Has anyone seen this ad??...last I saw he had it at $8500...according to this guy it's rebuilt and HAS passed inspection, just needs new clutch. If he's down to $8000 that's a pretty good deal, no?
According to previous threads on rebuilt cars, they're "better than new" because of Alberta's "stringent" inspections...
And this one seems priced low enough to make up for the fact of perceived loss in value...I honestly can't see too much that can wrong with it mechanically especially if those km are true.

Buy it if you want to keep it long term. rebuilt cars are a nightmare to sell, no matter what condition they are in.

I saw the original ad(s) for that car. No mention of the rebuilt title at all and the guy kept reposting the ad with different prices.
I think that ad was put up by someone who went to look at the car. The seller has deleted all the ads for it on kijiji Calgary since that warning ad was posted up.

Ya another guy who went to see it posted another ad like that to warn people. Some people are complete morons though. The seller, as shady a fucker as he is, actually priced it way below what others are selling it at, so is he wrong for trying to dupe really dumb people? That's for another thread but I would agree he's a bad bad person and he'll get karma one day...but I think what he's selling is a decent product and it's a pretty decent deal, but I'm not sure whether I'm ready for a sedan.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I been toying with the idea of getting a manual AWD car, and I don't want to deal with German reliability and Subarus are just as bad and unfortunately Nissan doesn't make an AWD sedan with manual, and after reading this thread, it seems like a TL is pretty damn good car.
Well it’s up for $9k on kijiji Edmonton now https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...rce=ios_social
It’s a decent deal as long as you can live with the mismatched front bumper, rims, rebuilt title and it needing a new clutch plus potentially needing a new timing belt/water pump service at that mileage.
Someone had an ad up warning not to waste your time with that car, apparently he saw it in person and it’s a huge turd.
Someone who rebuilds a car and doesn't take care of needed maintenance is not someone I'd buy a vehicle from.

Edit: yea google the vin someone posted 19uua9e51ca801074 , for some reason some of the poctra images weren’t showing up in that link posted in one of the warning ads (pics are available in google images). Looks like it was in a pretty decent accident, both airbags deployed, passenger side completely crumpled.
If the person is cutting corners and not doing to clutch for a sale I’d hate to see what other corners they cut. I’d also venture a guess it hasn’t passed salvage inspection, but I could be wrong.

That part is easy to check. If it's title is branded rebuilt, it's passed. You can check that from the comfort of your computer with a carproof.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think I have a similar taste in age of vehicle as you so trust me I know that haha. But I’m not in the market currently so I don’t have a carproof subscription and can’t check it so was just speculating. Do you have one?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I question even whether a vehicle with a bad clutch can pass a salvage inspection. I’m working on family member’s car right now to pass a salvage and I think that’s on the Powertrain requirements, they are actually supposed to drive the vehicle if I understand it right. Also I haven’t seen anyone posting online actually discuss the report, that’s the first thing I’d want to see
If you mean AWESOME taste, you are correct, but I don't have a subscription, I just pay the $50 or whatever each time. God I haven't bought anything in nearly eight months. It must be about time.

Are you guys addicts too? Lol.. I've had my daily driver which is also my fun vehicle for 1.5 years now, had my winter/practical vehicle for 3.5 months now but it's a boring SUV and I think might end up doing what I did last year, got bored of it half way through winter, sold it and bought a fast AWD car, only this time I think I might end up going fast, FWD, manual with studded winters... Unless I find one of these TLs haha
My big problem is the net change, net change in number of vehicles is always positive for me. I get too attached and right now my gf is annoyed for having to constantly squeeze her car passed the Jetta I haven’t driven in 6 months parked up against the garage on a trickle chargerThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

It’s been almost 8 months since I bought a personal car and that’s a long ass time for me. I love my Z06 and will keep that for years unless I become significantly more wealthy, but my diesel VW is so ungodly uninspiring to drive that I contemplate hawking it daily for something more special.
