The MKZ and Taurus TTV6's were “sold” by Jalopnik as S4 chasers, but it’s a heavy boat made for rainy weather. Zero enthusiast interest for a reason.

Had an 08 ISF just catback and tune and now my 12 is catless headers/catback/tune. If I baby it at 50-70 28-29 is doable. 70-80 is closer to 25-27mpg. 80-90 is closer to 22-23 mpg. Fully stock I could still squeeze it to 27-28mpg at 50-70. A lot of flat land around me and I also have wider but lighter wheels, but the…
My ISF has H/E/tune and is about 420whp, close to the 500hp limit. Maybe it’s a touch high but perfectly daily drivable. Run’s high 11's while still getting 28-29 mpg highway, and being Camry easy to maintain. Once you get into the 500hp+ MPG’s are a joke and usually the maintenance costs of superchargers or even…
True, there was definitely markup in the beginning. I recall being 2-3 years out of college and finally thinking I can swing the new car payment at $30k, but they wouldn’t let me drive the BRZ without a deposit. I bought an NA Miata and kept saving.
BRZ was $30k when it first came out in 2012 or so, I highly doubt in 2020 with much higher prices they’d start a 4 cylinder at anywhere under $35..
Exactly. People who buy sport sedans want the looks, performance, and handling of a coupe, but be able to shove their dog or in laws back there if needed. I love my ISF but a GSF for $90k new makes no sense. Give us 400-600hp for under $60k and they’ll sell all day. Could never figure out why Lincoln couldn’t add…
I had a G35 coupe and later G37 coupe and sedans. Each time I looked at the Z’s the plastic interior was horrid. The G35 was barely heavier than the Z so it was a winner, the G37 was much nicer, but also like 300 lbs heavier than the 370z. I can’t imagine the Z will be able to be 3500 lbs light, let alone 3200 like…
Very true, have sold cars on forums/craigslist/FB marketplace for about 15 years and the questions have only gotten dumber. But is what it is, a few dumb emails and tire kickers can be worth the extra thousands. I too put up as much info as possible and pay for the carfax to avoid silly VIN or accident history question…
Not a bad deal! Just check it over. I sold my sisters 11 Clubman S for $8-9k last summer but right before it needed $4k of work that the dealer was kind enough to drop down from $6k at first and match the indy shops quote.
Get trade in offers and then then list it for $2-3k higher on private market. Keep an eye on similarly listed vehicles for sale in that area and adjust price as needed.
What a stupid suggestion. Where did it say that they camp out 1 day a year? Summers it’s nearly every other weekend for many. A truck getting 16mpg getting 14 mpg due to a tent isn’t that big of a deal.
Yep, too mind numbingly slow of a game with no clear direction. Sometimes a sandbox game is great, but this one not so much. Gave it a good 3-4 hours or so and was just frustrated as all hell.
Neutral: Yep. I’m in MD and currently house shopping. While I love my ISF, I can’t make it into 1/3 of the driveways of the homes we look at and I know I’ll need a truck when we find a house because projects! However, I am leaning more towards an older LX470/Land Cruiser and getting a trailer to tow for when I need…
Kia I can believe. Their goal for the past decade has been to improve quality across the board. Dodge’s goal meanwhile, seem to be to stuff big power into as many models as possible.
I stopped reading at Dodge in first place.
Kind of similar to a guy on the ISF pages creating a few obviously fake FB market place listings around the country to lowball actual sellers. He would send them links and tell them their car is obviously $5-7k overpriced. Absolutely slimy that guy..
Repeat business only works if your product is still good/improved and competitive. All those cars you mentioned(except maybe the impala) improved greatly over the previous generation. Infiniti was the Japanese BMW as it focused on enthusiasts, even with their FX and QX. A 5 second google search says their best selling…
TLDR was for my comment, not yours.
This comment doesn’t make sense as the OP said he bought his G37 new.
Agreed. People can debate all day about deaths miscatgorized, or tests being faulty, but look at the hotspots and look at TOTAL deaths, which are much higher than the same time periods in the past 5 years. Clearly this is an issue, but let’s have a country wide debate on masks being gay instead.
