Doh! Thanks. I was going bald scratching my head.

Ah, so you bought it in High Point and I guess you live near there. Try some of the Triangle dealers (Capital, Crossroads) as the market is tighter here and you may do better. Assuming that you paid close to MSRP + fees and taxes, losing $12K is nothing on that car, you are actually doing...

LOL, based on Google searches! By that measure, the GM 6.2L is the most desirable engine, if one overlooks their utterly abysmal reliability, tendency to blow up and GM's lack of support. Geez. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like my Mustang and appreciate it for what it is, but clickbait like...

I don't know what this means. :frown:

First of all, sorry for your loss. Second, I wonder why you are selling so soon. Third, as others noted, it's just a bad time to sell a car, especially a "sports car" and especially a Mustang, which unfortunately, do not generally hold their value very well. Fourth, I've BTDT myself, and you...

I am still considering buying one of those little skinny spares (I have one for the BMW) but I thought, you know, the only time I take a long trip is to go to the track, and if I have a flat, that dinky little tire isn't going to cut it as a replacement. I priced a new OE wheel, and they are...

Just the rotor made a difference? I presume that this was from better cooling on the track; I can't imagine much if any difference on the street with those cheese graters.

Not to be snarky, but did you test drive a car before you ordered it? The Mustang is going to be a big change from your WRX in feel, performance and ... well, everything. LOL The steering is not "numb" but it certainly is not at the level of a Porsche. I test drove a WRX Sti once, and I...

Exactly! Although your question seems to have prompted at least two people (so far) to vent and rant about unrelated topics, which were themselves entertaining if not on point.

Probably. Just stick with real (not a blend) synthetic 5W30 and your engine will be fine.

Wow. Good for you, sticking with it! Was it a failed head gasket, or like most events at the dealer, the cause was not shared with you?

Thank you for your time.

Ditto. No stock locally on new cars, and the only used one was overpriced. I bought my car out of Ohio (I'm in NC).

To save the battery. That's misleading.... it doesn't use "no power". As you yourself summarized, it uses very little. However... I don't use the phone much. I can get 4 days from a full charge, if BT is off. I did a brief test, and in 4 hours the phone uses less than 1% of battery...

B-J in AZ has been on my bucket list for a while, but this year when I finally have the time, poor planning left it too late to get a decent flight (very expensive with only middle seats left) and hotels were rather expensive as well. For you locals and others who have been, is it worth the...

It sure seems to. I'll have to do a scientific analysis. Pixel 10. I only spend about 2 hours a week, max, in the car. The other 166 hours, I don't need BT.

I don't want to disable BT. I want to remove the annoying message that shows when it is turned off on my phone (see original post).

I confirmed that this works, and explains why I didn't consistently see the message. Thanks! Of course, I don't usually use BT because few people call me and I don't want to talk to most of them anyway, LOL. And the phone battery lasts longer with it off. I guess no one knows (so far) how...

This is absolutely true. It's called science. Break-in is also a factor. My cars also run better and faster after I wash them. The cynical amongst you will say that it's all in my mind, but the other people that live in there with me agree, although I wish they wouldn't all speak...

That's more of a Florida thing. The only way to avoid it is to have the vehicle shipped home. I don't think it's an issue with Iowa.
