why do i bother calling a dealer to see if a truck i want is in stock?

except the original golf was a coupe

for all the concerned parties, he did confirm late yesterday. told me I wouldnt get a VIN until 3-4 days before delivery. Hopefully won’t be an issue to secure financing in that short amount of time but we shall see. I pretty much have it worked out verbally with the bank but still a little nervewracking.

the dealer trick I keep coming across is listing a super cheap popular car (the one I always see are work truck trim pickups) at a very low internet price, you call and they say yea sure its available, but when you get to the lot its always sold. I think dealers keep trucks like that listed even though they are long…

Will definitely be interesting to see the test of time on a car driven by PM motors that never require an oil change, vs the potential software issues and battery pack life of electric cars

I’m having the exact same issue with my Tesla delivery advisor. I wouldn’t call it a nightmare, but supposedly my car is being delivered on Sept 29th and 9am to which I said, “ok great” and he has not confirmed this or given me a VIN (which I need to finalize financing).

Dads with boats drive GMC Yukons or Crew Cab F250s

Ask Cadillac if residuals matter. They get outsold by Lexus BMW and Audi, Mercedes, etc on 2 and 3 year leases for that exact reason

count me as a person that couldn’t work (for very long anyway) in a car of any kind staring at a laptop or something like that.

my grandmother, the coolest lady ever, had a red 1988 mazda RX7 with a 5 speed, flip headlights, and a sunroof and very low miles when she passed away. I was exactly 16. She had the car since new and not only was it a cool car but I had many great memories in it. Begged my dad to keep it even if I didn’t drive it…

and now lets pretend you have to buy this puppy to feed your family. and you don’t have $1200 and you can’t miss work for an interview. but you do have $350. thats reality for a lot of people.

also, the 1999 caravan was a stand out van among its contemporaries imo, which can’t be said for the 2016 caravan unless you are strictly talking price.

which is why i recommended it to my friend, who needed a van

my phone looks like that too and it hasn’t yet stopped me from getting a phone. but i’d definitely be keeping a microfiber cloth in the car.

admittedly I was nervous. like, I wouldn’t wish the base model dodge caravan driving experience on my worst enemy. but thank god it has held up and he has 2 small kids and works great for him.

or just adapt apple carplay/android auto

from personal experience I can tell you it is a factor when considering overall monthly spend

air vent control is one tap away. not as good as zero of course.

Jalops: Cars are so boring, give us quirky cars

I ordered my model 3 in the first week of August and its getting delivered September 29th. Anyone complaining about delays at this point is waiting for one that isn’t extended range.
