Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Hey- from 1975 to 1978 the State Highway Department was my summer job. Do I have stories. Summer help weren't supposed to even drive the pickups and I ended up driving dump trucks, a water truck, an oil distributor, a grader, and a roller- as well as pickups and mowers. Another college kid and I would drag race the pickups at lunch.Any well optioned new car should be able to sleep one person easily.Q: What's yellow, slow, and sleeps three men?
A: A DOT truck!
Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
I actually liked the L300. Wasn't something you saw that frequently, ran well, was smooth and quiet, pretty feature rich (for the time).That is my thinking, there is a reason they are offering 0% financing. Who knows, they can easily give him $1000 less for his trade-in too. I don't even think he looked at alternatives, that 0% financing was like heroin to a druggy for a bank guy.Free money is how I ended up in my '03 Saturn L300, instead of a Camry, Accord, or Passat.You got it JM. The car itself is just a way to get from A to B. Feel of the road, zoom zoom, lots of horses, means nothing to him. 0% interest was too hard to pass up.————————————————@driver100 - a former bank exec slumming it in a Rogue? Was he an exec at Silicon Valley Bank?!?
My guess is that since he’s a former bank exec, he just wants basic transportation for getting him from point A to point B but he doesn’t want to pay more than next to nothing to borrow money. He’s now on the other side of the fence so he’s watching his money just like he watched the banks money.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Speaking of SHO, I drove up behind what appeared to be an ex police car. It had a dual exhaust and flex fuel and AWD badging. The license plate said “SHO OFF”

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
The older engine- it's a blessing and a curse- the blessing is that the motor is essentially a higher displacement version of the 328i motor with a hotter cam; the curse is that it's not a "real" M motor so the powers is down.@roadburner said:
I posted on C&C that I took the Wrangler to my dealer for an oil change (oil life was down to 5%). I took advantage of a couple of Jeep service coupons and bought two oil changes and received a free tire rotation. Total cost was $140.58, but the next visit will be free.
The CCBA addendum is that the Jeep dealer has a 1998 M Roadster; Imola Red and just 35k miles. Only $17,500. If it drops to $15,000 I may not be able to resist.Does the ‘98 have the older motor or the higher hp motor?
Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
cheap financing (which really just means a somewhat lower monthly nut) is really just saying you are getting paid to drive a car you don't like.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
I looked into CD players at one point, but never got one. I do have 4 large boxes of CDs downstairs. Maybe in retirement I burn them all!
I did do a few hundred many years ago, and built a big itunes library. And at some point during a computer crash/replacement I think, everything I added got lost which was very annoying. I do now have another program I found where I collected a bunch of songs I had from various sources on my computer and got them in one place, and copied onto a thumb drive (about 3,000). eventually I will add to that library!
