That's pretty cheap for a city beater and Rex too, I'm sure you can plug something in to check the battery health

At this point it's not mileage related, it's time related wear from just being a "battery".
It's like pre 2015 model S, the 85kwh pack and LDU is 100% guaranteed fail.
i3 battery is guarantee failed, dead man walking.

Richrebuilds just bought 2 for cheap. For one of them the lady who owned it lost the charging cable years ago and never plugged it in so she just charged it with the motor.

We had a 2015 i3 for about a year. Range was really bad in the winter time (<90km) and those skinny tires wear out and cost a lot to replace.
I'd spend the extra $ and get the 2017 or newer models.

Did your BMW connection, or whatever it's called still work? I recall early i3 i8 had like 3g sims built in to talk to the car, and now that there's no more 3g you can't communicate with the car, like can't see status, set charging, pre heat etc.

Hey guys I’m curious what your thoughts on value for this Honda S2000. 81000 km, 70k worth of upgrades. Fast and furious body kit, f22c engine, vortech supercharger ( 9 psi) . Clutch and full tune up. https://www.facebook.com/share/1DLmQ...ibextid=wwXIfr |

If he's not posting a price he doesn't actually want to sell, just shooting for the moon hopng someone stupid offers him a high price.
That said there's not enough description, these things eat their differentials for breakfast with any power adder like a SC. Steer clear of someone else's project.

Yikes. Anyone who posts how much their mods cost followed by horrible pictures and saying it was recently “tuned up” is something I don’t want to even open an ad for….and that’s all before seeing he’s also posted bunny manure for sale.

The V60 I posted was an actual Polestar V60, not "Polestar Engineered" - I hate how Volvo watered that down in the generation after. The V60 Polestar was far more rare as well IMO with only 1500 produced per year or so, and no hybrid stuff either!

I agree, all used Volvo wagons are priced a bit high. New ones, with hybrid  are insane, like $90K

Price is alright if the sale also comes with the stock wheels on top of this winter set. https://image123.azureedge.net/infin...tar-Carfax.pdf |

Is the 2.0t the hottest version of the polestar? Or is this some sport pack like BMW m or AMG sport pack?

The V60 Polestar was far more rare as well IMO with only 1500 produced per year or so, and no hybrid stuff either!  | I've seen this one posted before, another real polestar, in blue, truckload of mods & update (which I think owner must regret now), good luck selling this one, I hate what owner did to the wheel wells! Asking $32,500. Black one that roastpuff posted is much better & newer by 2 yrs! So that's 2 of 12 in Canada here in YVR. https://www.facebook.com/share/1D9BBeXRKU/

^ For how much wider it is with the arch extensions, the tires don't seem to be that wide, all he did is probably just space out the wheels so the car drives worse. And a staggered setup on a AWD seems so dumb. All show.

I've always wondered if staggered or spacers fuck up the AWD? Cuz don't modem AWD cars come staggered from factory? X5 etc? I had a e53 x5 back in the day and I put some spacers on, then I got the trifecta lights from the abs module. I've always wondered if it was from the spacers.

i never got the whole point of spacers and lowering your car to fill wheel gap. Yeah it looks better, but then your scraping that shitty thing everywhere you go.

Re: Spacers on AWD - Prolonged use will destroy the drivetrain and axles, including how you drive. If you treat the vehicle like a race-prepped F1 car, be sure to pony up for repairs or off to the scrapyard it goes.
