Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

Question
tila
Hi, this is my first post to the AL forum which I need to get some advice and clarifications from you all experts in the field. Your valuable time spent on this greatly appreciated. I always used to browse this forum and find solutions from the already posted threads and everyday this is my one of favourite place I most prefer to come and read posts.
I recently bought a Toyota Sprinter SE Vintage SE G grade Limited (AE110) 1997 (Auto Transmission) car. I got this from a car sale and the seller had it with open papers. It was not a good bargain I was so impatient and hurry to buy this car. Although this is my third car I didn’t drive my previous cars even ten thousand kilometres. I thought this time I don’t want to change the car frequently as I did earlier and do all the things which are necessary and drive the car for at least 50K miles with smile . I regret about my previous cars because even for the short period of time I had to use, I looked after them very well and sold. Now let’s discuss about my new purchase Sprinter SE Vintage.
Car odometer has 119K kilometres, but according the age of the car I can’t trust that the odo has been altered by the seller which is very commonly known as sale buggers do. Car interior looks very good according to its age and all upholstery, seat covers floor mat dashboard instrumental panel were in very good condition. Exterior also good but has few things to be considered including minor dent on left fender and it seemed that the front windshield has been replaced and the frame edges where windscreen attached started rusting. I didn’t bring any mechanic to show the car when buying and in my test drive I didn’t notice any issue according to my little knowledge. However after driving the car at my convenience, following issues identified,
Except to the above mentioned problems car runs greatly, I don’t know how significant of above causes to be big issues. But I wanted to contact the previous owner and get the genuine comments of the car because it has been already sold by him. I searched all the classified sites and related web pages using web archives about this car and found the previous owners ad on famous classified site. But ad page expired and I got it from google cache. Found his mobile number and called him to build the conversation frankly. After the discussion with him got to know the engine oil he used which the sale guy didn’t know when I asked and few important things about the car.
So far I wanted to know your comments from you all and advices on followings and greatly be appreciated for your valuable time spent on this thread.
Sorry for long thread and if I posted in wrong category . Please help me to prioritize the things to be sorted out. Thanks in advance for your great support
