While you're searching for great deals during the spring car-buying season, be on the lookout for aggressive sales tactics that could wind up costing you a lot more money.
Most car salespeople aren't predatory sharks. They are, however, out to maximize their profit. And they've got a litany of tricks up their sleeve to squeeze more money out of your wallet.

I like the distinct Euro/Asian sound of the Mitsubishi horn. It's pretty loud and the tone is in a different range from motors and other road sounds that surround it. When I have used it ~ it has drawn much attention.

Re: Hermione's Makeover

My feedback is from people in modern 2000+yr vehicles. Can barely hear my L300/400 horns with their windows rolled up.

In an L300 you're sitting on the horn at your feet and not much sound insulation which is why it sounds loud to you Falco but people inside other cars don't seem to hear it so well.

The tone is not unique. It's almost identical to the Mazda B2000 series pickups and the Toyota Camry/Tercel horns. All from the 80-90's and too quiet for virtually sound proofed newer cars.

Unless you're just out to annoy pedestrians or bicyclists, the stock horn is not really effective to others driving.

Turtle has an aftermarket horn and he gets noticed by other drivers. Granola, he was often dismissed as being too quiet.

Came down to a safety thing. Now a horn is even more useful with the amount of txters on the roads. You need to honk to get their attention. The stock horn is futile compared to the sound deadening of a new Cadillac.

maybe from people walking on two legs or peddling a bicycle :wink:

Drive up behind an Escalade and honk your horn. They won't hear you. Good luck trying to get the driver's attention who is texting, can't hear you and is slowly moving into your lane. That's what a horn is for but our JDM's come with little squawking pigeons under the hood that don't quite make it through the panel/glass on new cars.

What’s going on with this ?

Who else has such a big inventory?
I know only CCAutos is a good place for used parts.
We post lots of parts in delicatrader as it is very useful and can accommodate pretty much big stuffs.
Which website has detailed/updated part inventory?
Do you know how much we supplied our mostly genuine parts to CVI and CCAutos last year?
If you want them so badly then import them yourself Mr. 2,000
