Maybe he should stick to driving a Buick Rendezvous...or whatever other car he’s sponsored by.

This car is probably worth saving, although it does look like it needs a lot of work to make it drivable. Restomod with a more modern Jaguar inline-6 is the way I’d go.

The first DIY maintenance I did was oil changes. It’s worth mentioning you can take used oil back to the auto parts store for recycling, or Walmart will take it as well. I’ve also done spark plugs a couple times, which is fairly easy, although on V6, front wheel drive cars the back 3 plugs are usually blocked by the…

I can think of two reasons not to buy an 11 year old Bentley. Fuel consumption, and insurance costs.

If they fit these with 18" or 20" alloy wheels they would blend in a lot better than the police spec 17" black steelies with chrome center caps.

Interesting article. Makes me wonder why they let people drive it if it was so bad.

Yeah you’re right, the owner definitely isn’t facing bankruptcy, or grave financial hardship.

Early IFS on these trucks wasn’t the greatest. The IFS was a bit of an afterthought for the North American market only, and as a result the frames on IFS trucks are significantly weaker than on live front axle Hiluxes. This truck is not really invincible like a Hilux. I believe 1985 was the only year EFI and a solid…

Their main website says they operate 50 stores in 4 states, so maybe 15 or so in Chicagoland/Illinois.

No, but being a large organization they have the resources to be able to afford highly paid attorneys to spend a long time in court just to prove a point. That point being that dealers, not only car buyers, were also lied to by Volkswagen.

Napleton Group owns a lot more than 3 dealerships. They own dozens of dealerships of all brands, not just VW.

This same idea applies to restored 1970s Toyota FJ40 Land Cruisers. I’ve heard of excellent restored ones selling for $100,000+ at auctions for what is essentially a Japanese copy of a WWII era Jeep. A Coworker of mine has one that was restored and indeed it is so much cooler and more interesting than an old Jeep CJ7.

They make receiver hitches with a D-ring shackle instead of a trailer ball for use as a recovery point, if there aren’t tow hooks already on the vehicle. That way the strap can’t slip off.

Trump is wrong to blast for Ford for moving small car production to Mexico, while keeping higher profit truck and SUV production here. His comments come from an ignorant gut reaction to what he perceives to be a problem, and are nonsensical and impossible to enforce. Small cars have never really been high volume…

Funny thing about this truck being so tall, wide, and obnoxiously colored is it makes a regular G500 seem like a practical and somewhat restrained daily driver by comparison.

An NA Diesel engine pushing around a 5,000 lb SUV shaped like a brick is going to be slow. Like 25 second 0-60 mph slow.

Don't forget, anything with exposed wiring and/or circuitry and/or electric tape = bomb.

The first bathroom he found was out of order.

I know someone who bought a used Ferrari F430 Spider a couple years ago, and he hasn't had any issues so far. If you love the styling of a particular body style, and are willing to wait several years for the car to depreciate, buying a used exotic is a good way to save $80,000-$100,000 off the initial purchase price…

Neutral: Definitely the chicken tax, followed by the 25 year import ban, followed by lighting regulations. This is why we can’t have nice things.
