I also recall a few years back rental car companies got in trouble because they were ordering cars WITHOUT standard safety.equipment like no side curtain air bags etc. Buyers then bought assuming it had the std features but did not

Not my story, but that of a tow truck driver giving me and my broken down car a ride, priceless though....
Once had oil done at Toyota dealer on my wife’s venza (cartridge filter, what a F’n mess). Anyways... Get the “you need a new cabin air filter” call and an absurd price, they tell me it’s filthy, I say no thanks. Pick up the car, wife gets 10ft and the glove box falls onto the ground. I go take a look, oily hand…
Thats at least double, in many cases triple the range you’ll get out of the 2013+ Nissan Altima CVT....
Took my 2002 Infiniti G20, Automatic, and attempted a 6speed swap from a 2003 Spec-V. I completed the transition to manual with the pedal swaps/firewall cuts, custom made the two mounts I’d need, and bought the SPEC-V tranny, and a JDM Primera bellhousing for the bolt up, as well as custom JWT parts for…
Crack Pipe - Driver’s side is two different shades of blue, some kind of major repaint/accident in it’s past....
Never - here is why, considered it for all of 5 minutes for wife’s last car, go try to find a windshield for it. No serious, go try... I’ll wait.... So ya, the first time that puppy cracks, you are screwed. From the forums I saw, a few guys were trying to get extras and store them for that fateful day....
Before I learned to drive stick back in HS, I was working at Best Buy installing mobile audio/security stuff. I can’t count how many customer cars I had to get in/out of the bay when no one else was there and I had no clue what I’m doing...
True story, random back road on the way home, guy has a minimum 20 PT cruisers, maybe more, in his yard in various state of disassemble and wreckage... No clue what he does with them but this has gone on for years, steady inventory turn also... Gotta get a pic....
Its a great car for the money. We went cpo and managed under 25k and got .9% financing and a year of complementary maintenance. First oil change they arranged a loaner so i didnt have to wait and were extremely professional throughout the whole transaction. So far very pleased. If you are still looking use the free…
This - just picked up a ‘13 MKZ - OMG it’s awesome. Where else can you get a panaromic sunroof large enough to cannonball into from the deck, heated AND cooled seats, heated steering wheel, self parking, massaging seats, and boost, errr ecoboost. Good times.... Seriously it rides like an old man car, has a “sport”…
Live in KY, have bought cars/trucks in Kansas, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Tennessee Illinois, Michigan. Most recent was a a toyota in kansas 2 years ago. They had 0% in that region, had a crap load of stock to clear, beat local dealers by 2k in price AND 0%, was a no brainer. 1 way cheapy ticket, they met me at airport…
If they can’t make the CVT’s work reliably in the 2013+ Altima, no way am I letting them drive me around town.... (previous owner, thank god for lemon law, sorry for poor bastards still dealing with it on the altima forums)....
Toyota FJ Cruiser. 07s and 8s maybe 9s will be in range.
Crazy - was in a parade in Walton, KY today for the boyscouts, saw a guy driving one of these, noticed the ASC Mclaren in the front/rear bumper and wondered what the hell it was... now I know! guys car was super clean so he must know what he’s got!
That actually saved me recently. The onslaught of cheap, off-lease Lincoln MKZ’s, but ones with pretty much every option, nice wheels, heated/cooled seats, panoramic roof, etc are flying off the dealer lots. Seriously, I’ve looked within 300 miles and there have been 10, most are sold by the time I call (the first day…
I love the picture caption “design looks like it was done by GM or in Italy”.... Ya because a Chevy Sunfire and an Italian sports car damn near confuse me every time.....
I just almost sold them my car. I took their offer, but at a dealer that was closer. It was more than fair. My car was 2 years old, 53k miles but didn’t have a door ding on it, didn’t need tires, brakes etc, and the interior inside/out looked new. Frankly I think they, and the dealer that actually bought it for that…
Yes - I had them make the note that nissan bought mine back, I actually had to send them the paperwork to prove it... They never did note it was a lemon, just a manufacturer buyback...
My 2013 altima was also bought back for tranny problems. They also attempted to fix rust on the trunk, and damaged the whole rear of the car and repainted it without telling me, I noticed because when they reinstalled the super pointy tail lights they chipped the paint on both sides. The car was a POS, they broke more…
