When I got home I check my parking space there were no oil spots on it. I'm going to go to a different place for the repairs, but is there a way to tell if they punched a whole in the engine mouint while they were road testing my car?

The Best Used Sedans would be one place to post.
These two discussions aren't style or model specific and aren't solely focused on price, but may be more active:

What's the best vehicle for my needs?

Edmunds does a great service by allowing questions and answers to attempt to figure out problems and I've used the answers on a T&C van with regards to a faulty starting problem. After researching all 100 responses one guy (the last one said don't waste your money on all the fixes, the problem was in the spedo assembly and I replaced i t from a junk yard and have never had another problem.
Doesn't Chrysler know that we read this stuff and w hen they don't fix their problems - we (me)the public takes all of this too heart and I won't try and get involved in a product with so many problems.
Thanks for your service and forumn.

I am going on a business trip in Florida in the beginning of 2009 and I want to rent an exotic car for me and my partners. Someone referred http://www.xoticdreamcars.com/ for such a thing. Now my questions are :
1 - did you ever use these guys ? If yes, how was your experience ?
2 - if we rent 2 cars, should they give me a discount ?
3 – how do these guys seem to you at a first look ? Trustable or not ?
Their website seems pretty professional and I really like the cars they have, but you may never know who lies behind such a website I really don’t want to get tricked, so any suggestion will be welcomed !
Tks a lot to the ones that will take their precious time to read my questions and answer.

Thanks!
Some paragraph breaks would help a lot.
Try posting in the 2008 Mercedes R-Class discussion and perhaps in one of the Smart Shopper discussions, like My Salesperson Misled Me.
I've been trying to get a quote via e-mail for a car, I requested a quote through many websites that contacted many dealers nearby. However, even though I preferred an e-mail contact, I'm getting a request to call responses and/or visit their location, I reply to them and they ignore my e-mail and send me another message asking me to make a call. What's wrong with this ? Is it not acceptable to receive a quote through e-mail ? Am I missing something here ? :confuse:
Thanks

I want to find out costs of older Mercedes/Volvo wagons- about 1982-1989ish.
I can't seem to find the right places to view prices, and questions about these cars.
I want to know prices, but there are different models.
Please start this for me, and any help in finding a car from someone is appreciated.
May I include my email? [email protected]
I am in northern Wyoming, but will go look quite a ways-
Thank you.
Edmunds has pricing back to 1980.
For help from other forum members, you could start in the Classic Cars forum. Try the USED European Luxury Cars (pre 1990) discussion for example, although the era cars you are looking at may not be "classic" enough yet.
Oh, if you post your email address in any internet forum, you're certain to get spam. The spambots crawl forums and grab emails. It's better to mark your email public in your Profile and that will help limit the spam you get while still allowing other members to reach you.
The "null" thing is probably not new unless you recently cleared the last name field in your profile. It means that field is blank.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. You are correct about the "null". I thought it might be a cookie thing as well. I cleared everything out last night but that didn't help. This morning I discovered something I hadn't found before: a place to add specific trusted addresses....so far it has worked and is "remembering" me. It is still a mystery though as to how or why things got messed up after working so well for so long.
Thanks for your help.

Have you ever got your deal canceled by the dealer and gotten rid of by the dealer in the last minute? Well I got that.
Long story short, the salesperson is really pushy and psycho. I was trying to negotiate with him politely and I've shown him offers from other dealers to convince him that his price is too high. He wasted my time too much by going to his manager and coming back to me. Finally after 5 hours, we finally reached an agreement. Then when we started to do the contract, I picked the car even though I had to pick a car with more options because their inventory is short (more on inventory later). Then I asked the salesperson how many miles you're giving me on this lease, he said 12k. I said oh I thought it was 15k. At that point he went beyond the limits and threw keys at the table and walked away yelling at me "I WASTED TOO MUCH TIME ON YOU", the he took all the papers and left. I was really shocked and everyone in the room was looking at me. I went to manager to complete this deal because it was good. However, I started complaining there about the salesperson. Instead of making me happy, the manager felt that I'm unhappy and I would give him low rating in the survey. He said I'd rather not sell the car instead of getting low rating. I hoped he just yell to the salesperson or making him apologize. Instead, he came up with stupidest excuse to get rid of me. He said the car should be insured by the primary applicant and can't be insured by the co-buyer (even though I did that with a Honda). He just started to give me excuses for every solution I come up with.
Also,they said they will agree on offer I gave them if the co-applicant have score of 700+. I said ok and gave co-applicant SSN. After they ran a credit check,even though the co-applicant had excellent score with more than 700, they gave me totally different numbers for the car I wanted and then said they'll give me the cheaper trim for the price I offered. I had to go with the cheaper trim after they ran credit check.
Inventory was really bad, he told me they have the car with the color I wanted. But after we nearly closed the deal, we found they have only one color available and the color I wanted is available with more options, so I had to pay more to get the color I wanted.
===========================================
My question is, is there anything that I can do to take actions against this dealer ? I sent to Toyota Customer Experience Center but I'm not sure if that will do something. It's really bad business that they wasted 5 hours of my time and canceling my deal because I'm "unhappy". Please help, I'm really frustrated of what they did. They even refused to give me a copy of the voided contract. They just were extremely impolite.

More specifically in Texas (taxes paid up front) and BMW (50k no maint cost should = no risk to the new leasee).
Thanks, jcg

I thought they would get paid cash for the whole car by the financial company
and also get paid commission for the finding someone to finance the vehicle.
I was thinking these leases would be the most profitable, but I dont know why
dealerships are reluctant to discount a leased car.
Any vehicle suggestions are welcomed.
For the record, I looked at Subaru Outback, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, BMW X3, Acura RDX.
Thanks.
