That is sound advice, but in reality, most folks can't afford to do that, or more to the point, don't have the discipline to do so. To save up and pay cash for a new car is also sound advice, but not possible for the average person.
I just can't stomach an $800-$1,000 monthly payment, regardless of whether I have the $ or not. Mine is $650/mo for 48 months,I put a lot down. and pay extra on it every month. I hate car payments!
Likewise, jimbo. I wanted a '24 from the minute I saw one, but took me a while to come to grips with the pricing. I finally ordered a base GT with 10 speed and spare tire, and my D plan price was $41,050 on a $45,500 sticker. Its a job 1 car. One of the young techs I work with just bought a base...
I had some black wrap material on the declkind to see if I liked it backed out or not. I really did, and looked at the Ford bpanel, but it was expensive and not available at that time. This is an ebay purchase, it hard glossy ABS plastic, and is an exact to the millimeter fit. It was $135, and...
I believe that you are correct on the ESP refund. Some of the aftermarket ones work the same way, but not many. We sell ESP at customer request, but have a company sponsored one that they activly push, its less $$ and is very good coverage. My only complaint with ESP is at the dealer service...
Again, never buy from an entity that solicits YOU. State registration records are open info by law, and the companies go thru them to get the info for their solicitations.
Whan you come to me with an extended warranty for a repair, I do all the dealing with them and receive payment directly from...
Get it but as mentioned above wait until the factory one is about to expire. You will know then if you like the car enough to keep it or not. If you keep it, chances are you'll be glad you got the warranty. The ESPYs have lighting coverage that will take care of the $2,000 tail light that's...
Research buyback laws in your state before you head down that road. Here in Texas, you get sale price less depreciation for mileage. In many cases, that leaves you upside down to where you can't afford it. If you are in a positive equity position, it might work. Years ago at Cadillac, we had a...
That is going to be a hard one. If it only does it on a cold start you got 60 seconds to listen for it. Then you got to shut it down and wait for it to get cold again. I have not heard of or seen this.
Some of the worst ones I've had were in a garage, especially when it got cold outside and the rodents were trying to stay warm. Cats will get under the hood as well, boy do I have stories about that!
I've seen at least one rodent damaged vehicle a week for the last 20 years, seems like that when it got really bad. Lexus used soy based wiring a long time ago. I've found air cleaner boxes full of nuts before as well.
The build start and finish dates are what has me shaking my head. You mean to tell me an assembly line take 6 days to put a car together?
The initial weight I understood because I knew when we opened the order Bank it was going to be till November before they did anything but still we've all...
I've had some Roush components that I was very happy with, the axle back on my '14 GT was possibley the best sounding car I've ever owned, but their vehicles, nah.
We were a roush dealer for about 2 years and I was seriously underwhelmed by their stuff and their lack of support on the service end when we had problems. It seems to me like they don't want to be as big a player as they used to be for whatever reason. Maybe there's more money in parts than...
