    iTunes.

    I don't have iTunes but the deal supposedly is that you download and install the EveryCarListed app and get free Carfax until March 1st.

    Rain-X Latitude 8-In-1 Premium Graphite Coated Wiper Blade at Amazon with a $10 rebate and an umbrella. (pdf file). Current Amazon price is $11.99 each plus shipping.

    Bosch Icon wiper blades are buy one, get one free in store at O'Reilly. I think the same deal is at Schucks.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Costco has some for $7 or $8, I forget exactly. That's an even better deal, plus the free umbrella...
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Costco is about 8 hours away but there is an O'Reilly's nearby. Carquest has a BOGO offer too for the store brand. I usually just get the $4 refills anyway.

    Fatwallet reports $40 to $80 rebates on Goodyear tires (or up to $160 if you have a Goodyear credit card).

    Valvoline is discontinuing Synthetic Blend MaxLife and it's on clearance at Walmart for $13.50. Apparently this isn't a discount but it's still a good price if you are into synthetic oil intended for a high mileage vehicle.

    I use that oil in my Mustang. It's low mileage, but the rear seal doesn't seal like it was when the car was new.

    When you win....

    All-New 2011 Honda Odyssey Sweepstakes (American Honda contest).

    Enter by the end of the month.

    Nice. Personally I'm the camp with those who think it's ugly, but there's nothing that says the winner can't turn around and sell it.

    The back half appears to have fallen off a bit compared to the front, but with a free van you'd have the money to fix it. :P

    Good through the end of May. Have to buy a pair. Ceramics or Dynamics. linky

    Cheap car loans from PenFed when you apply online. You can join the National Military Family Association or Voices for America's Troops if you don't otherwise qualify for membership in the credit union. And you can refinance your existing auto loan from another lender equaling $15,000 or more before April 30, 2011, and they'll take $100 off your loan balance.

    Per the Fatwallet thread, demand is so high that applications are stacking up, so you have to be patient.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Never heard of this one - Auto Restorer. On sale at Amazon for $5. No ads, newsletter format. Cover price is $84.

    Only gotcha is that it automatically renews, so if you spring for it and don't like it, don't forget to cancel it.

    Up to $100 off on your next dealer service. Amounts are random, starting at $25 off.

    Total service must be $100 or more (when was the last time you went to any dealer for less than $100, except an oil change perhaps? - even then you get the upsell).

    Anyway, ymmv, but here's the link.

    Expires 7/20/11.

    btw, Michelins are reportedly going to be $70 off a set at Costco starting around May 9. I guess there's a Firestone discount currently going at there.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Today only, and until 3 PM.

    E85 for .85 cents a gallon. 30 gallon limit.

    Looks like stations are in Chicago south to parts of Tennessee.

    In my neck of the woods, Costco doesn't carry Firestone. Bridgestone is on sale until 5/8.
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Probably a distribution issue - Firestone has been a subsidiary of Bridgestone since 1988. Hesitate to say "same difference" though, since they all have different factories and some seem to make better tires than others.

    OBD2 Reader Car Diagnostic Tool OBD II (Speed Shop via Amazon)

    $15.99 plus $4.99 shipping. Only 2 reviews, but the price is right. Maybe. :-). Supports CAN.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Wow. Mine was $99 or so. Not the same model but that's a steal!
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454

    I'm surprised Amazon didn't raise the price to $99 overnight. :) (Not sold by Amazon; guess that's why).

    I could see people buying this just to try to beat smog tests.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    It's good to have information. The dealers can charge $95 a pop for a code reset, and it could be a loose gas cap.

    It's nice to know....
  • steverstever Guest Posts: 52,454
    Yeah, most auto stores will pull the codes for you but won't reset them. It's getting tough in California to get the stores to even pull the codes.

    I'm holding out for the OBDII readers to be built into the dash though.

  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Hilarious.

    I'm combining discounts. We have a Giant card, which gives us a $0.30 discount right now. Plus a Shell card for another 5% off, but it has to be Shell (at $4 per that's $0.20 and easily makes it the cheapest gas). Then go on Thrifty Thursday for another 5 cents off.

    55 cents off per gallon, so around $3.50 net cost.

    I don't know but I'll bet it's tough to fit in your wallet. ;)
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 265,955
    It's a supermarket...

    Where I live, it's Kroger... Gets me $0.10 gallon off at Shell (price actually changes on the pump).. Then, the Citi Shell MasterCard gives me a 5% rebate (on Shell gas purchases), right off the credit card bill.

    So, if gas is $4.10, I'm really paying $3.80... and, we already shop at Kroger and only use Shell gas, so I didn't even have to change my shopping habits.

    Same here .. Kroger owns King Soopers / City Market in Colorado, so for every $100 spent, you get $.10 off a gallon. Good at both the grocery store stations as well as Shell.

    If you don't have 100 or more points, the grocery store station still gives you $.03 off per gallon, but that doesn't apply to the Shell station.

    Free Case of Valvoline VR1 Racing Synthetic Motor Oil, after mail in rebate. Expires 5/31/2011.

    Back in my day, a case of oil was 12 quarts. This case is 6 quarts. :-)

    Still, free is free. But don't ask me if this is ok for your street use.

    Yep, supermarket, I thought they were nation-wide but not quite I guess.

    Found gas for $3.99, so down to $3.69 with the Giant card, and then 18 cents back from the Shell credit card, or $3.51.
  • robr2robr2 Member Posts: 8,805
    Giant is part of Ahold - the huge Dutch supermarket company. They also own Martins in the mid Atlantic/PA and Stop & Shop in New England. We have the same Shell offer at Stop & Shop - except that in order to save money off gas, I have to spent 20% more on groceries as compared to my regular store.

    Last year when I was in DC, I stopped into a Giant to get something. I gave them my Stop & Shop card and it got me the sale prices!!
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Yeah, Giant ain't cheap, that's for sure.

    The wife uses several stores, so the credit we get accumulates slowly as she tends to get stuff when they're on sale.

    That's why we take 2 cars and a gas can to fill up!

    When we went to Hawaii we used our Dominick's card at Safeway (Dom's parent) and it worked as well. Makes it good for people who travel though if they ever sell off a chain everyone'll have to get new cards.

    It's amazing as to how many of these are in private dwelling garages. I find them when visiting other classic/antique car collectors.

    From San Fran to Atlanta, beginning in SF tomorrow, and ending in Atlanta in November. Fatwallet has a registration code but I don't know where it came from (Motor Trend apparently). So I don't know if it'll work for you. It was targeted at this weekend's event, and it's a bit late to get in on that one. There's a link there to ask for a code.

    Anyway:
