    The Bolt is in its sixth model year…and will be discontinued next year. They’ve already killed it. 

    The headline may be clickbait, but it’s true. We just sold a leased RAV4 Hybrid LE to Carmax with a year and a half to go. New sticker was $29k. They offered us $28k, two years old with 15k miles on it. Paid off the remaining lease, and gave us a check for $5400.

    Ditto.

    The card is somewhat pointless, as you don’t ever have to show it.

    I have no idea why you would need to replace it, since you never have to use it anyway.

    Seen in Flushing:

    Even better, they only pay taxes on the first $150k per year, taking the rest as “deferred income.”

    COTD!

    TravelPro: The best luggage, the worst customer service. (Just peruse FlyerTalk to see what I mean.)

    Regardless, 10/10 would buy again.

    If you can afford it, buy a TravelPro Platinum bag, lifetime warranty, including wear and tear. I’ve got ten years and about 200,000 miles on mine, looks like new.

    Regardless,…

    It depends entirely on the particular lease, and how the residual value compares to the retail used price of the vehicle.

    For instance, I just picked up a 2015 VW e-Golf SEL for about $17k after federal rebate (which the leasing company received) and cash incentives on the hood. We leased it for $229/mo, nothing down,…

    I saw the gif and instantly knew where this was taken.

    The Silver Lake Sand Dunes are a must on any Oppo’s bucket list. Bring a truck, or rent one nearby...and then take the family on Mac Woods Dune Rides!

    It happened to me! Dealer refused to pass the inspection because the rear brakes were “completely worn out” at 18,000 miles.

    1) The hybrid system was disconnected, so instead of 1200 bhp, they were running with just 500 bhp. The rest of the LMP1 field should watch out next year when they’re using all the ponies.
    2) They were forced to use a narrower front tire than originally designed, and Michelin wasn’t able to develop a tire specific to…

    Good luck.

    Just go to a better dealership. Our local Subaru/Ford/Chevy dealer chain doesn’t require anything to take a test drive.

    Keys are in every vehicle on the lot. Get in, drive it to the front door, ask for a plate. They’ll put one on, ask if you want directions, and tell you to take as long as you want. Come back, park the…

    Do not, under any circumstances, allow a dealer to run your credit for any reason.

    Not even to get you a loan.

    No mention of N’djili airport in Kinshasa, DRC?

    One huge exception is Subaru's Gold Plus Added Security warranty.

    With CPO vehicle purchases, Subaru offers up to 7 year 100,000 bumper to bumper coverage, including wear and tear. It's easier to explain what's not covered: dents, scratches, upholstery damage, brakes, tires, and wiper blades.
