This thread went exactly as the_doge planned. I'm convinced he's an evil genius.

Yup, Browning was right: the D = 4 hours of service (C = 3, B = 2, A = 1). Anthony, I came across similar pricing for that service at the dealership. Looks like most guys either do the service themselves or take it to a private mechanic, as the work itself takes far less time than the four hours that the dealership charges. I did a quick search and came up with the following prices for stuff: Service D = $500 Clear Bra = $800 New battery = $128 In their favor, the tires I priced at $865. Those particular tires are not meant for use in snow/freezing temps. I think I'll ask the salesman to send me pictures of the scuffs.

Yeah, don't know. Will have to find that out. Not to be argumentative, but why can't I worry about dog hair? I'm uber allergic to dog hair. I asked the salesman if it ever had a dog or cat in it and he said that it didn't. So, of everything, that was what concerned me the most. Also, the inspector got into that level of detail because I told him to specifically check for dog/cat hair in the car. I appreciate the rest of your input - very helpful. Same to other others (e.g., Jones, Juicy). I guess the gist of what I'm getting is that there's nothing that anyone sees as being a deal-breaker. That was my initial take, but I wanted to get a second opinion.

I'm interested in purchasing a 2008 white E63 AMG. (Those of you who have seen my more recent threads may not be surprised by this.) It has 24k miles on it. It's currently located in Georgia. I just received the results from the pre-purchase inspection I had done down there. Here's a summary of what the inspection revealed: - There is evidence of dog hair in the car. No clear smell of animal, but definitely some dog hair. Not a lot. - The car has a clear bra. There are signs of discoloration on the bra. - There is a scuff mark near the driver's door as well as a scuff mark on the front left door handle. - The driver's side visor light does not work. - It is due for a schedule D service. (I'm familiar with A and B service on Mercedes, but not on D?) - It still has the original battery. - It needs a good detail inside and out. - Does not appear to have ever been in an accident. - There are four brand new Toyo Proxies (T1 Sports) on it. The inspector said that, overall, the car looked in good shape and even commented that he would buy it. That being said, how big of a deal are these things? How much should I be using to talk down the price of the car? Thanks in advance for your input. Please know I will be able to safely make this purchase with what I have left over from my student loans.

I already know the answer; I didn't want to announce it because the creator wanted to remain anonymous.

the_doge 10/10 to whoever came up with this gif.

Yikes, sorry to hear this, but glad you're moving on and things will eventually get right. Good luck.

No idea why, but I laughed out loud at this. I think it's probably because I haven't seen the thumb down smilie in so long.

Unused portion of student loan?

I think more than one financial planner would tell you that's likely not the best way to utilize a student loan. However, I'm not a financial planner, you're not asking me for financial advice, and it's your money (kind of).

You'd think with him being that fast he wouldn't have been so far away from the guys he was covering this year. The receivers from Wisconsin must run in the area of 4.1 in the 40.

So, in essence, you've taken out a loan so that you can ride in some fast cars?

Jones, how much would you charge the_buster to drive around 270 for 20 minutes in your GT-R? Serious question, thanks.

Kirk's wife buys him a Z06. The_buster's wife buys him 20 minutes of seat time in a GT-R.

Hair is a mess. -3/10

You know you're moving when the white lines on a runway are passing by as quick as the white lines on a freeway...

No acquisition yet. Working on it.

Clowney ran the 40 in 4.47. I'd say his stock will be returning to meteoric levels. That's faster 40 time than DeAnthony Thomas and Marquis Lee ran. And they are wide receivers that are supposedly fast.

Good idea. Okay to troll when I am on there? Yes or no It's a 2002 Cobra. No. Thanks for this input, and to everyone else who chimed in. Sounds like going with an independent mechanic is the way to go.

I don't know of any mechanics or car guys in that area. Maybe someone here might. If not i was going to just head to the Internet and read reviews and go from there.

No, I won't be going down there to take part in the inspection. This dealership said they don't have a problem with a PPI being done. As for my goals, no, I don't want or need them to pick the car apart. Rather, it's more of the latter: just to verify it's never been wrecked, that it's been well-maintained, and that the price is justified.

I'm interested in a car that's in Georgia (Marietta, specifically). I'd like to have it inspected before I proceed with purchasing it. Does anyone have experience with pre-purchase inspections? What's the process like, what should I expect, etc.? Input appreciated.

I had a similar thought about the generic-ness of the 2010+ models. And I am about 2 trillion dogecoins short of being cool enough for that G wagon.
