I’m confused why you can’t just leave your phone in your pocket and still have lock/unlock capabilities. I recently bought a Ford Flex where you can control lock and unlock functions on buttons on the door handle. My wife’s FoST has the same feature. Our Juke that the Focus replaced could do the same. Just sayin’ why…

I’m a sub-30 year old male, my insurance on a 2017 focus st and a 2006 LR3, both with $500 deductibles, was only ~$2350 last year.

Big deal. My 1989 Mercedes 560SEL had a nice pedestrian horn, and a louder horn for actual driving. Of course the S-klasse had it first!

Girard vs Reda is a no-contest though. Reda sold that many cars because he offered the new experience where he cares about the customer and genuinely is a nice guy. Girard is kind of just a jerk all around.

AKA “Stop reporting our 4th-amendment violating revenue generation stations!”

I own several handguns, some because they’re old and pretty cool. And a couple for defense. Not for my home, for concealed carry. It’s not that I’m insecure or paranoid, studies back this up. The CDC itself has research saying that firearms are used for defense upwards of 2.2 million times a year. Statistically,…

I was going to say a McLaren MP4-12C with a body kit and tune. Not too far off that price and not a Ferrari (though its faster than most of them).

I think they call that a hybrid bro

If they would sell me this exact car, with flares and tracks, I would consider buying a Nissan again. But only if it had a decent transmission, not a CVT.

This just confirms to me that they could do a well integrated radar unit in the grill. BMW’s engineers just couldn’t let it sneak out looking good though, so they sabotaged it by making the rest of the grill hideously gigantic.

From a former dealer standpoint: Internet leads usually close at 15% on a GREAT month, but that’s factoring in TrueCar, CarGurus, Cars.com, factory website leads, organic website leads, etc.

If we’re headed into the older GT500 territory, it might be worth a look into an older Camaro ZL1. 680hp and under $35k in a lot of cases now for decent ‘12s and ‘13s.

It’s a kickback from the lender. Much fancy accounting in the car sales world. You can pretty much sell a car for a front end loss, but if you hold a couple points of rate it can suddenly be worth $1000+ instead of being a loser. Usually it’s just getting past the point where the deal is funded and the lender can’t…

If I remember right, if our guys did some sort of deal that only made sense if we got the rate from the bank but the customer really wanted to pay off the car right away, they would put it in the contract to say “pay off only after 6 months or you owe us $X”. Usually it was a win-win, they got the car for the deal…

Um what’s up with that charge time? 110 miles of range and 13m/h to charge it? So....it’s a first-gen Nissan LEAF except less practical (and more expensive, given current first-gen LEAF prices)?

For that type of scratch you could go get an XC90 Excellence and a spare to haul all your stuff. And still have the money left over to get a Polestar V60 for the track.

I math-ed this out. She would have had to average nearly 600 miles a day, and assuming a 60 MPH average speed, that brings her to a total average over 9 hours a day of driving, not including gas, food, and rest stops. My LR3 has seen as many miles in 12 years as hers sees EVERY YEAR.

I love my wife’s Focus ST and it’s peppy little engine, so naturally I’ve been highly considering getting an ecoboost Mustang and throwing many parts at it.

Is it related to the highly-upgradeable Mustang ecoboost 4cyl? If that’s the case, I really want this now.
