This is clearly just a dealer tactic to upsell the interior surface protection. If he had the TrueCoat, the blood would’ve beaded and wiped up clean!

Meh, it’s the T, the people crossing the tracks saw the lights but probably figured the train would be 30 minutes late crossing.
How is what they’re doing legal? They’re essentially acting as a curbstoner if they don’t have a dealer license yet they’re having you sign over the title without a buyer. I don’t know how CA works, but in states that require a notary present for car sales this would not fly.
Probably should sue the U.S. DOT too

It would be prudent to mention that Ed Napleton and the Napleton Auto Group have been involved in not one, but 2 other independent lawsuits against major lawmakers, FCA and JLR, at different times. While this is certainly newsworthy and a big deal for VW manufacturer/dealer relations, it’s important to view this issue…
That would be a rather shortsighted move on Tesla’s part. Basically saying “we own the car, not you, and we decide how it gets bought and sold.”
My favorite actual one is “Drive sober or get pulled over” a nice jaunty rhyme for DUIs.
One thing to keep in mind is that Abarth and FIAT are completely different brands. Notice that all European Abarth 124 wears actual Abarth badges front and rear, while the U.S. variant has FIAT badges instead, and the Abarth badges only on the side of the car. Essentially what I’m saying is EMEA is getting an actual…
Considering how front-end design seems to be based on Transformer facial expressions, I would call them “Megatron’s Tears”
But Tom, I’m completely unable to make sense of my financial obligations and wellbeing without a cost of living tied directly to my credit score! I can’t possibly be expected to look at regular repairs and maintenance as a “car payment” and set aside some funds from every paycheck to cover those costs. I thought the…
The Milan is one of my “Go to” recommendations when a friend needs a midsize sedan under $10k. You can (paradoxically) get them cheaper than a less-equipped Fusion of similar miles and age simply because the brand is dead, but all the parts are identical and the motors are solid. Also applies to Mercury Mariner/Escape…
Can we stop saying “on track” for anything Tesla Model 3 related? It’s clear there is absolutely no track and little direction, more or less just a random assortment of ethereal promises culminating in “someday in the near or far future there will be a car that will sell in a certain price range but maybe with nothing…
About a week or before you intend to buy, contact a bunch of dealers in your area. Make it clear that you want to make a purchase within a week or two and have them send you a quote in writing. Make sure that the quotes include all applicable taxes and fees, and reflect the relevant incentives in your area. Watch out…
As a dealer employee, I can say with absolute certainty it’s FAR more common for a car owner to try to trade in a car with deceptive badging than it is for a dealer to try to sell a car as such. In the last couple years I’ve seen:
- A “JCW” Mini with single right-size exhaust and no hood scoop (looked under the hood,…
1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby C/S Turbo II. Bought it for $500 belching black smoke out the ghetto side pipe, discovered someone had blown a rather large hole in piston #4. The hatch was held down with a zip tie, the doors didn’t lock, and everything was broken except for the tach, aftermarket fuel gauge, and driver side…
Why not use the German method; if you’re driving around and get pulled over .08 is the limit. But if you’re involved in an accident of any kind, the limit drops to .02 and you’re immediately assumed at fault if you’re above that. A bit more common sense, although I could see an issue with someone who had one beer at…
In some cases this can be done, but if I’m not mistaken, Subaru is the only Japanese manufacturer that will allow dealers to place a direct factory order. Honda, Toyota, etc make you choose from incoming allocations.
Why is no one talking about this not being the first time that Napleton has sued a manufacturer?
