has a fetish for terrible cars
I've been meaning to get to this for a few days but lost motivation. I'm hoping that, by creating the thread, I'll be motivated to follow through and get the Failcord appraised.
As most of you know, my Accord ownership experience has been mediocre at best, with the car breaking literally minutes after signing the title at the DMV.
It's been less than a year and after multiple repairs, a flaky transmission and more to come, I'm done. Consider this thread a chronicle of my car replacement journey, so I don't clog up Random Thoughts Automotive Edition with my bullshit. :lol:
I washed the car today in preparation for taking it to the somewhat local CarMax for appraisal first, rather than Craigslist. I'm doing this for 2 reasons:
1. The thought of dealing with Craigslist buyers sends shivers down my spine and irritation into my brain.
2. They give me 7 days to dither and see if I could do better on Craigslist if they do give a super duper low offer.
3. Is someone other than CarMax going to be willing to buy a car this awful? :lol: I mean seriously, it may need a potentially expensive transmission repair, has CEL and SRS lights on, needs axles, 2 tires, etc.
After I get my shit out of it (not much) and vacuum/wipe down the interior, I'll take it in a day or so from now and let you know how much I get. Hopefully it'll be close to what I paid for it (yeah right haha!)
Oh and the EX badge fell off in the carwash... I swear....:lol:
