Would you buy a 200k+ mile first or second gen sequoia for 6-7k that’s been bright up to spec mechanically?

I’m a mechanical engineer and have loved these sequoias for a long time. Especially because the last 500k+ miles.

I was wondering if there was a market for high mileage sequoias that have had all the maintence done to them. I’d like to buy them, fix em up and sell them.

I kinda don’t think there is a market tbh. Buyers would probably be very price sensitive and unwilling to pay for a high mileage unit.

Was curious to see what yall thought!

They're just the most reliable and cost effective vehicles. Much better than the trash GM is putting out over the last 10 years.

Located in Texas. Id like to offer GMT-800 service, parts, and modification as well. What do yall think? Worth it?

I’m a 25 M and haven’t got along with my parents since I was 16.

Every time I see them or interact with them, I feel less than. It’s not a good feeling. They’ve beat me down for many years.

How do I just leave them to the wolves? I don’t think they’re the brightest or most financially literate. They’re critically hard headed and too proud to listen to me.

I want to leave them forever and never have to hear a crass word from them again, but there’s some guilt or responsibility I feel that makes me not want to.

But the stress is ruining my mind and body.

What to do?

Thanks

I have the oven style plug in my garage. I plugged it in with 30 miles left, had it charge fi an hour and a half, and am now only at 70 miles. Is this normal charge speeds?

I’m just exhausted from battling my parents for the last decade.

I’m 25.

Been butting heads with my parents since I was 16.

My lower back and neck have been in pain for years. I attribute it to stress. I told someone the other day, my parents are the bane of my existence. They truly are the biggest stress in my life.

I’m realizing that even if I achieved my dream life. My ABSOLUTE DREAM LIFE. Aka 2k passive income a month allowing me to live almost anywhere, albeit frugally, and retire early; my parents would be critical. I’ve always loved cars my whole life. That’s my main obsession, gods gift to me if you could call it that. My parents, esp my mom, has always been negative about it and discouraged my interest in it.

“Why do you like the old cars?”

I dropped out at 21. Depressed and looking for guidance. I don’t care about my degree plan, I was a junior MECH E. I’m about to turn 26. IM STILL A JUNIOR MECH E. I just don’t give a fuck about it. And my mom’s solution? Just do it.

I started a detailing business. Washing cars for money. My mom was so negative and discouraging I LET HER WIN. I’d rather take the peace than the constant negativity.

But now I’m realizing her negativity is a manipulation. It’s a way she controls me and and tries to get me to do what she wants me to do.

But I have more conviction and resolve now than I did before.

I realize if I’m paying for my own rent, my own food, my own healthcare, car gas insurance and phone bill- I decide who’s call I fucking pick up. I’m the fucking boss.

My parents want to keep me dependent. Keep me as a little boy. Keep me under them. Fuck that.

I currently live with them but don’t really talk to them at all. I feel like I’m on eggshells 24/7. Anxiety to the max. Just finished my junior year semester for the 4th time. Fuck that shit. I’m only in school so my mom can stfu. Bad reason to be in school in my opinion.

I have a plan. Start a service business making 300+ a day and move out and stack money and start more businesses and attain the freedom and finances and lifestyle and peace and community and environment I desire. I care about that. I give a fuck about that.

I’ve go to live for myself. My mom or dad won’t live for me. So why should I live for them? Stop the anxiety. I don’t need to always second guess myself. I have certainty. I know what I think is important. I have clarity.

It sucks because most of my family expects me to follow a path I don’t want to follow. So I can’t expect acceptance from anyone who’s following the path. But that overjoys me. Fuck them anyway. I dread talking to sheep.

Too many people live their lives on other peoples terms and playing by other peoples rules.

I want to focus on and work on what I find truly important and captivating, and achieve and earn what I DESERVE. Going down the other path, I’d never get what I wanted.

I love this Reddit. It’s the only place I feel understood. You strangers have been more like family than my blood. May each of you rise up and claim your rightful throne as dictator of your own life. Best of luck 🤝🔥

I’m a 25 year old male in Houston Texas who loves the Texas metros. I’m looking for work and was wondering what yall thought as far as how hard it’d be to make 60-100k+ my first year as a RE agent.

Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

Joey.
