Someone tried to rattle can the bumper by the looks of it. The carfax says it's only had two owners.

>>14582792
Basically a GM product. I wouldn't feel bad for 800.

Your grandpa then?

I guess I could look for the original tailgate or I could just paint this one white.

Yeah it's pretty fucking bland, but at least there's nothing that squeaks in here.
>>
>>14582792
Looks like the mumper and wheels have been spray painted. Since it was 800 and is already got a mismatched tailgate and rattle can paint....>dagumi panda when?
>>
>>14582896
fuck the clean factor its a standard atleast, cheers !

$800 ? Not bad. Your first car?

You gonna drive your GF in this or what?

Yeah first car.

Gonna fuck in this. Hot and uncomfortable, that's how I like it.

It's like someone was being a smartass. If it runs decently, you got a good deal. $800 doesn't buy you a helluva lot and it doesn't look beat to shit.

>>14582967
top or bottom? CBT or BBC?
>>
>>14582963
I read somewhere online that these things eat head gaskets. Any truth to that?

>>14582999
Gm for ya

>>14582988
Bottom, don't really watch bbc now that top gear is dead.
>>
>>14583013
total bottom, power bottom, or versatile?
>>
>>14582999
No the 2.2l gm ecotec is reliable if it's that engine in it

Is this like some US version of a TF rodeo? Fuck it's ugly

>>14582819
remove the badges

I would but my fear is that the paint will come off with them.

>>14582999
It's because dexcool "lifetime" coolant, it's pH gets fucked after a decade and it starts corroding everything. Give it a coolant flush. Don't use green coolant in a dexcool system.
>>
>>14583244
That sounds easy enough. I'll do that.

>don't use green coolant in a dexcool system

Cmon dog. Don't spread false info like that. Ran green coolant in a dexcool system for 60k miles and never had any issues.

>>14583278
You'll be fine dude. Get that dexcool shit out of your car. Just make sure you flush out the entire cooling system thoroughly, don't forget the heater core. You don't want to mix green coolant and dexcool.

90% of the GM cars I've seen have had green coolant in it. It's for a good reason too. Once it gets warm out I'm getting the nasty dexcool out of my s10
>>
>>14583267
Dex and yellow are propylene glycol, green is ethylene glycol. They are fundamentally different. Educate yourself.

You can change coolant types after a complete flush.
>>
I would refill with the coolant specified in the manual (dexcool). While you could use green, that and dexcool form pudding when combined, so the system would have to be CLEAN.

Just do a flush and refill with dexcool.

Very good review. Now this is from. 2008 so it could be wrong for newer vehicles because i read that in 2011 valvoline stop making chrysler OAT or Hoat formula. But fuck this confusing ass coolant shit!

There's a reason my cars have 263,000 and 192,000 miles and still operate as if they were new. Research, buy a service manual, follow the recommended service schedule, clean and visually inspect and adjust your vehicle regularly and it will still be reliable for the person you sell it to.

The only time the high mileage cars engine has been opened other than valve adjustments was for a timing chain. Same headgasket it left the factory with in 77

Isuzu Hombres are rare, I think there are less than 10,000 left on the road here in the US.
>>
>>14583224
remove then paint white

>>14583224
It's a different color anyway. You're driving a bipolar truck right now.
