I would think that given there was FOUR YEARS between the total claim and the initial CarFax report that claim or lawsuit would be possible. Who releases those records on a car that long after it happens? Something is shady there, whether it is a prior owner or CarFax, it isn't right.

I get a feeling that this would work better for a MB or BMW dealer than it would for Toyota and Honda. My hypothesis is that people spending more money will value their time and headaches saved over the savings on a sticker price on the other side of town more than people shopping standard brands. Plus they get to…

Issue #1: With four tires like that it won't lean into a corner.

OnStar?

This! The sound, I bought a turbo car, and don’t get to hear the turbo?

I had it for the promotional period. The best thing is having a hotspot with a stronger antennae than your smartphone that you dont have to be tech savvy to set up. My wife used her laptop to complete work on a long roadtrip, imagine if you had children also, that could save your sanity quickly. You also don’t have to…

Hey Torch, for the results map, go with red and blue. Us colorblind folk have no idea what colors you choose for this, only that you chose the same color for both choices.

Some. A dealer I worked for does a "super sale" twice a year or so. They bring in a ton of new cheaper inventory, several outside salesman to sell the new cheap stuff, and the normal salesman try to use the increased traffic to get them into the good stuff that has always been there.

Your argument of the education being free only if you forget about lost opportunity costs is on point!

The Engine had blown a few months earlier and was replaced under warranty. Aside from the engine I had $3000 more in warranty work that year done on it. With that in mind, I listed it because my warranty expired right after the engine blew. I had learned its a car you want a warranty with.

That image slider is badass!

True. But I think your numbers are exaggerated for most people. I think mine took 5 to 8 hours of work. My time is closer to 35 dollars per hour. Definitely worth it.

That looks amazing. Time to slap on a turbo!

Mine just had engine number 3 installed under an after market warranty. Sold it for 9k. Book was ~6300 at the time.

When I worked at a BMW dealer there was an awful lot of conservative talk radio on the more expensive cars.

Another major consideration is how quickly you need to sell. Selling my last car took 5 weeks of patiently waiting for the right buyer. If you can't wait or you need a new car now, trading would be a better option.

He is. HOV abuse is a big pet peeve of mine. I give those assholes all of my middle finger.

Wow that truck looks big.

The wrap can be had for $2.50 to $3.00 per square foot on Amazon. You really save on the application materials. To do a wrap you need a heat gun, line cut ($10), and a felt tipped squegee ($5). No paint gun, masking materials, paint booth, paint clothing, mask, etc...
