As long as if you get an oil change bill for $200.....don't say I told you so.

No just joking (honest Imid), that Chryco is not very exciting.

I wouldn’t worry about the Hyundai/Kia salespeople. When I was shopping there were two Kia stores. One was owned by driver100’s huge pal Billy. From my experience delivering cars there I knew it was the stereotypical high pressure place with salesmen lurking outside waiting to pounce. The other one was more low pressure with kids and dogs in their commercials. Both had the car I wanted in the right color.
I went to the non pressure place, made my one out the door offer and got the car. No hard sell and only a plea for an aftermarket extended warranty as I was walking out the door. Easy Peasy.
If they hadn’t dealt with me I would have gone to the high pressure place but I’m glad I didn’t have to. It’s amazing how easy it can be if you throw around some sales jargon.

in any case, if they had the car I wanted, I would go in.

365 if I remember correctly. But with AWD and low down turbo torque it’s faster off the line than a Mustang GT (although the GT will eventually catch it).
Saw one of these today. I wouldn’t try to race it with any of my cars.

The Elantra is not bad. Pretty roomy for a small car. My only concern is that lousy Nissan CVT that they all use. I was driving a 2018 Versa through the countryside today for a few hundred miles. At 38k miles the transmission made a loud hum-buzz that sounded like an engine running at high rpm. Very loud, very annoying, very scary. After my experience with a blown CVT in an Altima that left me stranded in the woods I’m wary of any CVT.
On the Cobalt, how many miles and what price are you looking for? My wife would kill me but maybe a road trip to the Midwest would be fun.

And that is an oil change...not an A, B, C Scheduled service.

Yeah, but mine only has 3,000 miles on it.

Of course, everything is relative:
The average cost for a Porsche Cayenne oil change is between $447 and $471. Labor costs are estimated between $35 and $45 while parts are priced between $412 and $426. Estimate does not include taxes and fees.

As for RepairPal, the site quoted $151 to $181 to change the oil on my 2er- only 157%-188% more than my dealer charged before my discounts.
I also entered "Gas Cap Replacement" for my 2er and it "estimated" a cost of $53 to $59. A cap lists for $33, but online BMW dealers offer them for $25 all day long.
That said, I did figure out RepairPal's racket; the site states "RepairPal Certified Shops honor this fair price estimate"- so sheeple get funneled to "Certified" shops that honor the inflated price. A sweet deal for everyone but the hosed customer.

But...not including registration and installation .
The Gecko is cute and is great for GEICO. J K Simmons does a good job for Farmers. Dennis Quaid is refreshing for Esurance. Peyton Manning seems appropriate for Nationwide. But those LiMuEmu commercials cause me to acquire a disdain toward Emus - those ads drive me nuts. 🤪😜🤪😜

a newer 2 series, in nice colors, if you don't mind black interior. CPO. similar price point. Miles are good. LATE EDIT: turns out this one is RWD too. so rare up here I forgot to even check!

nice looking, well equipped Cascada. Would you want to pay the same for 1 year newer, 10k fewer miles?
https://www.princetonbmw.com/used/Buick/2017-Buick-Cascada-4a8137c30a0e0aea37e757929e0faf3f.htm
interesting option. as close to new as you are going to get, for a little less money. I assume this is pretty scantily equipped though. And of course, you have to be good with RWD.

And this is my favorite, you just have to stretch the budget a tad. And might not squeeze an oil change in for $200 on this one.

Now I can't speak for the media types, because there are as many different agendas as there are TV stations in a given market.
And now I have to admit, my RDX is borderline, and that may be keeping me from fully enjoying the great seats. But I think I have the right setup. Maybe.

It seems prices vary quite a bit. Prices are much higher in Canada.....prices are more to begin with, and the dealers aren't very competitive. Indie dealers are cheaper. Your dealership might be giving you a special price.

As I stated above, the prices for service I quoted from my dealer were before any discounts were applied.
Sure, $150 oil changes may be common, but only because customers are too lazy to do a bit of homework.

Up here in Canada, GM dealers were usually multi-brand because sales volumes were typically not enough to support a single make. The typical mix was Chevy-Olds-Chevy truck and Pontiac-Buick-GMC truck. Cadillac was usually a wild card that could be paired with either trio but not all. Pontiac was very strong here as it was priced very close to Chevy and seen in many areas as an alternative to Chevy since for many years GM Canada made Pontiacs on a Chevy chassis with Chevy engines, with differences being only in body style and interior design and trim.

My scheduled maintenance on the RDX is covered at the dealer for my first 2 years with it, will have to report back when that ends and I have to actually pay for it.
My Acura dealer, express service (no appointment needed) and usual price is about $49, and there are always coupons so I have paid under $40 at times. Add $20 for a tire rotation if you want one.

If you’re finding this bifurcated post odd it’s because all my posts this morning have been blocked with “you don’t have permission to do that” huh? I had to log out and then back in to post and for some reason part of my blocked post was inserted in the new one.
Did I forget to send my dues to jmonroe?

I called 911 and the paramedics arrived about 5 minutes later. They tried to sit him up in his kitchen chair but he had a bump on his head and felt pain in his hip. They then transported him to the local hospital.
I just found out from his daughter that he broke his other hip and is being set up for surgery at the hospital. She thanked me for helping this morning.
It’s a good thing I didn’t try to move him as he could have suffered additional injuries.
