I have 3 SXM subscriptions and none are over $100/yr and each subscription gets me a streaming log in so I can stream on 3 different devices at the same time.
SXM will negotiate on price!
If you spend the $35 to join Mustang Club of America, after 90 days you can get "X Plan" pricing, which is basically 99.4% of MSRP plus a very low doc fee.
It might be worth you joining now and then seeing what sort of a deal the Dealership is offering retail, then spring it on them you have an...
when my neighbor took his 2022 Vette in for an oil change they dropped it off the back of the lift because they did not follow the lifting instructions GM sent to the dealers.
And that is why toolboxes have wheels.....
He did get a nicely optioned 2024 for free for his troubles
Ford has really screwed the pooch as far as being able to complete orders placed months ago for 24 MY Mustangs.
I suspect a bunch of cars are going to be dropped off the order list due to parts availability.
Anyone know when the 2025 order book opens?
to the best of my knowledge, no Mustang had onboard OBDII displays, and certainly not the manufacturer specific codes.
The funny thing is the computer in the car will relay that info to Ford and put a notification on your MyPass app.
OnStar did it, and now with telematics it is not unusual for...
all a scan tool does is give you data
It is up to the tech to read all the codes, figure out which one caused the rest of them.
Sometimes one issue will give you a cascade effect of other codes
A good technician figures it out, a bad tech reads codes and throws parts at it.
Since Snap On has...
since I have a $3000 scan tool and the ability to clear stored and current codes, I chose to do what us professionals do and record the codes, erase, then see if they come back on
And it did come back, but after I had the roof down the code light went off, so if I go back in it is going to show...
key off key on,
I didn't want to have to do a relearn of the computer by pulling the cable, besides I have the scan tool so I can clear any codes that way
Well it seems I owe Roadpilot a couple of beers.
If you want to send me a mailing address or Paypal I'll send you $20 to buy you the beer of your choice.
And this is why our daily drivers and last 6 cars have been Toyotas....
2024 GT Premium ragtop, I have not even put enough miles on it to need a second tank of gas yet, I'm still burning off what was in the car when it was delivered....
Taking Mrs Neg out to lunch Wednesday and the airbag...
Insurance is by definition, transferring any potential liability to another entity.
Yes you are comparing your potential risk money wise to what the premium is.
If the premiums are too high, and you think there is a low risk of exposure, you self insure by not buying a policy knowing that if...
The company out of the Carolinas I referenced above gets a flat fee of like $600 for anything valued under $100K, and he is VERY good.
I tend to only do it in MA and NH where most of my work is, and all the ones I have done this year were from people on another board I spend a lot of time on...
That is the visible damage the appraiser wrote
I guarantee you they did not open the trunk, we don't because if it doesn't close we are on the hook for the tow, etc.
If the parts are not available (code 99 backorder from Ford) in a reasonable length of time (30 days) it can be a constructive...
Your policy is written to pay Actual Cash Value, and if you don't agree with the number there are many companies out there that you can hire to force the Insurance companies appraisers out and make them hire independent appraisers who will reach a binding decision with the one you hire.
I do...
and my dad is a TV repairman and has a really good set of tools.
I have been in the business a long time, and I am a licensed Appraiser who does this stuff on a regular basis, including cars with values well in excess of a million dollars.
No shop wants that job either, they will try to get it...
I beg to disagree
if the salvage value is high enough it is certainly a total
60K ACV car, 25K in damage, salvage value less than 35K, it gets fixed
60K car, 25K in damage, salvage value of 35K or above, the car gets totaled
If it does get fixed, go after the other guys insurance for...
$800 plus they say there are defects that require a respray....
lot damaged parts, or shipping damaged parts.
Anything else Ford would want back on a warranty claim IMHO
Ordered GT Premium 4/17, told by dealer 3 months to get the car.
Got an order confirmation, and 45 days later the no more than 45 days between updates email from Ford saying my status was still the same
No build date, no VIN.
Called the dealer Wednesday and went roundy round with them, I...
there is a company that Ford sends cars to to get them driven for QA reasons, plus there are factory test mules in the hands of executives and managers.
Why they are taking cars from sold retail units and disturbing the engine bay and engine is beyond me.
Personally I'd be trading the car in...
