can you buy a car off temu

4 Answers

No, you cannot buy a car from Temu. The platform is an online marketplace, often compared to Wish or AliExpress, specializing in extremely low-cost consumer goods like clothing, small electronics, and household items. A car is a major financial and logistical purchase that falls completely outside Temu's operational scope. While you might see listings for elaborate car-shaped toys, detailed model cars, or car accessories, an actual road-worthy vehicle is not something they sell.

Attempting to purchase a car on Temu would expose you to significant risks. The most prominent is the high likelihood of scams. A listing for a full-size car at a seemingly unbelievable price is almost certainly a fraudulent attempt to steal your money or personal information. Even if a transaction were processed, Temu's infrastructure is not designed to handle the titling, registration, and massive shipping logistics required for a vehicle. There are no safeguards, warranties, or legal protections for such a complex purchase.

For a safe and legitimate car purchase, stick to established channels. These include:

  • Authorized Dealerships: New and certified pre-owned cars with full manufacturer warranties.
  • Reputable Used Car Retailers: Companies like CarMax and Carvana that offer no-haggle pricing and quality inspections.
  • Private Party Sales: Through platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, but always involve a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic.
  • Online Auction Sites: eBay Motors has structured processes for vehicle sales, but still requires due diligence.

The idea of buying a car for a few hundred dollars is enticing, but it's a fantasy. Protecting your financial security means using the right tool for the job, and for buying a car, Temu is not that tool.

Absolutely not. I browsed Temu out of curiosity and saw a listing for a "car" at a ridiculously low price. It turned out to be a miniature model car, not even a toy a kid could sit in. The platform is for trinkets and cheap gadgets, not something as serious as a vehicle. You'd be throwing your money away. Stick to real dealerships or reputable online car sellers.

As someone who values a good deal, I researched this thoroughly. Temu's business model is based on high-volume, low-cost items shipped directly from manufacturers. A car involves titling, registration, and massive shipping costs that make their model impossible. Any listing for a real car is a scam. If you're looking for an online bargain, consider certified pre-owned programs from major automakers or used car retailers like Carvana, which offer real protections and legitimate prices.

Think about it logistically. How would a site known for $5 t-shirts handle the delivery of a two-ton vehicle? They wouldn't. It's completely outside their capability. The listings are either for scale models or outright frauds designed to phish for your credit card details. The request for a car on Temu usually comes from a misunderstanding of an ad for a toy or a charger. For your own security, do not attempt to purchase a car there.

can car mechanics replace your driver seat

Yes, a qualified car mechanic can replace your driver's seat. This is a common service for addressing wear and tear, damage, or for upgrading to a more comfortable seat. The process involves disconnecting critical safety components, so it's a job best left to a professional unless you have specific technical expertise. The primary concerns are correctly handling the seat's electrical connections (for power adjustment, heating, and ventilation) and, most importantly, ensuring the airbag system and seatbelt pretensioners are properly disconnected and reconnected. A faulty installation can lead to a non-functional airbag, which is a severe safety risk. Mechanics have the proper tools and diagnostic scanners to deactivate the vehicle's Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before starting work and to check for error codes after the new seat is installed. The complexity and cost depend heavily on your car's make and model. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect: Service Aspect Details & Considerations Labor Time Typically 1-2 hours for a straightforward swap; can be longer for seats with complex wiring or integrated seatbelts. Parts Cost A new OEM seat can cost $800-$2500+; a quality used seat from a salvage yard may be $200-$600. Key Steps Disconnecting the battery, removing trim pieces, unplugging wiring harnesses (airbag, sensors, power), unbolting seat (usually 4 bolts). Safety Check Post-installation, a mechanic will use a scan tool to ensure no SRS fault codes are present. Compatibility Seats are often model-specific. Mounting points and wiring harnesses must match for a direct fit. Beyond basic replacement, a shop can also help with installing aftermarket racing seats or seat covers, though these may require additional brackets and present their own safety certification considerations. Always get a quote upfront that includes both parts and labor.

can car dealer go be low the on sale price

Yes, a car dealer can often go below the advertised "on sale" price. The sticker price is typically the starting point for negotiation, not the final price. Dealerships build in a margin known as the holdback —a percentage of the invoice price (usually 2-3%) that the manufacturer pays back to the dealer after the sale—as well as potential volume-based incentives from the manufacturer. This creates room for negotiation, especially if the car has been on the lot for a while or if the salesperson is trying to meet monthly quotas. Your ability to secure a lower price depends heavily on several factors. The model's popularity is a key determinant; high-demand vehicles with limited supply offer little room for discount, while slow-selling models give you significant leverage. Timing is also critical; shopping at the end of the month, quarter, or calendar year, when dealerships are pushing to hit sales targets, can work in your favor. Your own preparation is equally important. Arriving with pre-approved financing from a bank or credit union and knowledge of competing offers, including the true invoice price (what the dealer paid the manufacturer), empowers you to negotiate from a position of strength. Factor Influencing Negotiation Room High Negotiation Leverage Scenario Low Negotiation Leverage Scenario Vehicle Demand Last year's model, slow-selling sedan Newly redesigned SUV, popular hybrid Time of Month/Year Last weekend of December Early in the month or model year Dealer Inventory High stock of a specific model Limited stock, only one or two on the lot Your Financing Pre-approved loan from your bank Relying on dealer's in-house financing Competing Offers Having a written quote from a rival dealer No research on market prices Ultimately, the deal is about more than just the car's price. Be prepared for the "four-square" worksheet, where the salesperson mixes the vehicle price, trade-in value, down payment, and monthly payment to obscure the final cost. Focus solely on the final out-the-door price before discussing your trade-in or financing. Politely walking away is often the most powerful tactic to trigger a call from the sales manager with a better offer.

can electric cars use hov lanes in arizona

Yes, certain electric vehicles (EVs) can use HOV (High-Occupancy Vehicle) lanes in Arizona, but the program has undergone significant changes and is not a universal perk for all EV owners. The key is obtaining a special license plate. The previous "alternative fuel" plate program, which granted HOV access, ended on January 1, 2022, and is no longer accepting new applications. It has been replaced by the Arizona Clean Air plate. Eligibility for the Clean Air plate is now more specific. It is primarily available for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that produce zero tailpipe emissions. Most plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are no longer eligible for HOV lane access unless they were registered and had the old plate before the 2022 cutoff. Furthermore, HOV lane access with these plates is restricted to certain hours, typically during peak congestion periods, and may not be available on all HOV lanes. Always check for posted signs. The following table outlines the core differences between the old and new programs: Feature Previous "Alternative Fuel" Plate (Expired) Current "Clean Air" Plate (Active) Eligible Vehicles BEVs, PHEVs, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), etc. Primarily Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) only HOV Lane Access Yes, for qualified vehicles Yes, for qualified BEVs Application Deadline Closed as of January 1, 2022 Open for new eligible BEV registrations Grandfathered PHEVs PHEVs with the old plate retain privileges New PHEV applications are not accepted Time Restrictions Access may be limited during peak hours (e.g., 6-9 AM, 3-7 PM) Same time restrictions apply To get the Clean Air plate, you must apply through the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) when you register your new BEV. This privilege is also subject to change based on state legislation and HOV lane congestion studies, so it's wise to confirm the latest rules directly with ADOT before relying on it for your daily commute.

can i buy a manual car without knowing how

Yes, you can absolutely buy a manual transmission car without knowing how to drive one, but it comes with a significant and immediate challenge: getting it home. Dealerships will not provide driving lessons, and you cannot legally learn on public roads without a licensed driver present. The most practical solution is to arrange for a friend who can drive a manual to accompany you for the purchase and drive the car home or to a safe, private practice area. Learning to drive a manual is a skill that requires patience and practice. The core mechanics involve coordinating the clutch pedal, gear shifter, and accelerator. The clutch disengages the engine from the wheels, allowing you to select a gear. The most difficult part is finding the bite point —the moment the clutch plates engage and the car begins to move. Stalling the engine (causing it to shut off) is a normal and expected part of the learning process. Before committing, consider these factors: Practice Location: You will need a large, empty, and private parking lot for your initial practice. Daily Usability: If your daily commute involves heavy stop-and-go traffic, constantly working the clutch can become tiring. Resale & Cost: Manual transmissions are becoming rarer, which can sometimes affect resale value, but they are often less expensive to purchase and maintain than automatic counterparts. If you're passionate about a more engaged driving experience, it's a rewarding skill to learn. However, if your primary need is simple, convenient transportation, an automatic might be the less stressful choice.

can car battery die from leaving door open

Yes, leaving a car door open can absolutely drain and potentially kill the battery. The primary reason is that it keeps the interior dome lights activated. Most modern vehicles are designed to automatically turn these lights off after a delay, but if a door remains ajar, the system assumes you are still entering or exiting the vehicle, and the lights stay on indefinitely. This continuous draw on the battery is a type of parasitic drain . The severity of the drain depends on several factors, including the type of bulbs (energy-efficient LEDs vs. older halogen bulbs) and the battery's age and health. A weak or old battery will succumb much faster. Other electrical systems, like a chime alerting you that the keys are in the ignition or the door is open, also contribute to the drain, albeit to a lesser extent. Factor Impact on Battery Drain Rate Typical Time to Significant Drain (Healthy Battery) Halogen Dome Lights (Multiple) High 4-8 hours LED Dome Lights Low to Moderate 24-48 hours Door-Ajar Chime & ECU Keep-Alive Very Low Several days Battery Age & Health (e.g., 3+ years old) Major Factor Timeframe can be halved Ambient Temperature (Extreme Cold) Increases Drain Speed Reduces effective capacity by 30-50% To prevent this, always perform a visual check to ensure all doors, the trunk, and the hood are fully closed and latched before walking away. If you need to work with the doors open for an extended period, the safest practice is to manually turn off the dome lights using the switch on the overhead console. For older cars, physically removing the bulb is an option. Investing in a portable jump starter is a wise precaution for any driver.

can flowable fill take the weight of a car

Yes, high-strength flowable fill, specifically designed for structural applications, can absolutely support the weight of a car. The key is using the correct mix design with a high enough compressive strength. Standard flowable fill mixes used for simple backfill might not be sufficient, but mixes with a compressive strength of 100 psi or greater are routinely used under pavements and are more than capable of handling car loads. The ability of flowable fill (also known as controlled low-strength material or CLSM) to support weight comes down to its compressive strength , measured in pounds per square inch (psi). For context, a typical passenger car exerts a ground pressure of roughly 30-50 psi through its tires. A properly specified flowable fill mix can be engineered to far exceed this demand. Application Scenario Typical Required Compressive Strength (psi) Suitability for Car Weight Non-structural utility backfill 50 - 100 psi Marginal to adequate for light, stationary loads. Pavement sub-base (common spec) 100 - 150 psi Fully suitable for passenger vehicles and light trucks. Structural slabs-on-grade 150+ psi Excellent suitability , handles repeated traffic. Truck parking areas 200+ psi Designed for heavy commercial vehicles. It's critical to distinguish flowable fill from other materials. It is not the same as sand or soil, which can compact unevenly. Its fluid nature allows it to self-level and create a uniform, void-free base that distributes weight evenly, preventing the settling that can cause pavement cracks. However, the material must be allowed to fully cure, which can take several days, before subjecting it to traffic. For a DIY project like a driveway apron or parking pad, consulting with a ready-mix supplier to specify a 100-150 psi mix is essential for a long-lasting, durable result.
