One question, what was wrong with the seat frame and how much would that have cost if you didn’t have coverage?

Heck, even low rent hooptie fleet owners like me get a discount on parts at our go to guy shop because of volume.

And I'm not sure what they were saying was wrong. I have a feeling they were just covering their bases and/or padding the bill.

Today we had to deliver cars to another district about 6 hours away. One of the guys decided to go his own way and ended up about a half hour behind us. We tried to give him directions to rejoin the group but he insisted on figuring it out himself.
A few hours later we called him and he told us that his GPS had failed and he was heading to the Canadian border 5 hours away.
Needless to say the boss wasn’t pleased, although he started laughing when I told him.
We all screw up now and then but this was a huge [non-permissible content removed]. Anything like that happen to your crew?

Really, there are only a few vehicles that I ask to drive but most times, I just take whatever as as long as it's got a/c and a decent audio system, I'm cool! I dislike the bigger 13 and 15 packs but have to drive them now that we use them as our chase vehicles. Prefer the Ford Transit ones over the Chevy counterpart as they seem to hold the road much better. Just wish that we'd have those longer trips but not that many lately though we did have to drive up to Sebastian and then down to downtown Miami last Friday. It was the only trip we did that day as we started in West Palm Beach and first went to Vero Beach. Once there, were told the vehicles were up in Sebastian, about 20 miles north. On the way down, had to stop for lunch and then getting to Brickell Ave. in downtown Miami was a real trip. Took the whole day basically.
Now that daylight savings time is over, gets dark about 5:45 which just is a real pain in the butt!!

I started with putting a charger on the battery every Sunday so that it would get a good charge once a week, but, a couple weeks ago, the car started having trouble starting after several days. So, I charged it more frequently... and it got to where it failed to start the day after I charged it. Finally, on Monday morning, it wouldn't start at all, even though the battery was fully charged. Okay, fine... writing on the wall!
I pulled the battery (from under the seat... a real PITA to access, even when it is not -20F outside) and took it to the store where I bought it last year. They tested it as bad (shocker) and replaced it under the free 12-month replacement warranty, so that was good. I put the new one in... and then I noticed that there is this little wire that attaches to some sort of sensor/contraption on the negative battery terminal. I thought maybe this has something to do with the "smart charging" system in the car, so I unplugged it to see what would happen.... The car started and ran just fine, with 13.75 volts to the battery. I then plugged in the wire, and the battery voltage instantly dropped to 13.2V. However, in either arrangement, the current at the hood terminals for the battery read 13.75. Clearly, this system was limiting the charge to the battery. As such, and since such a system is idiotic (batteries last for 10+ years in my other vehicles with no such systems on them at all), I just left the wire unplugged. I shall see how this new battery fares. So far, I'm four days into the new battery's life, and it is functioning beautifully.

'Deleted' means emissions system disabled. It voids the warranty. I know some people who have done this.

Have a deal for an MDX tech at 520/520 DAS
Broker on LH has a 59K ish XC90 (2020) for 617/617 DAS (399 broker fee, so $628 effective). He hasn't given me the colors yet so I'm getting a little agitated.
The dealer I bought my S60 has no 2020's and only one loaner but it's a T5. I'm not so sure I want the XC90 without the T6. Thoughts?

So the plot thickens, the XC from the broker is Ice white over Blonde which is exactly what she wants (more or less a copy of my S60) and he is reducing the broker fee to $349. It's at a dealer about two hours from home
9% discount plus $3250 in rebates. I really feel the T6 MOM is the sweet spot in the XC lineup. You get real leather and a lot of nice upgrades over the T5. Need to talk to the wife, but I know she is going to throw a fit having to drive 2 hours to get it.

Steering wheel is a little tough to keep but not bad if you keep up on it.
Wife is thinking it over. Not sure if she wants the payment leap.

Steep monthly nut, especially on top of the other Volvo. I couldn’t go there on a lease. Maybe a buy for a special car, but my mental cap is $499/month.

By the way, for you experts out there, it is normal for dealerships to "pretend" at the finance office that the price is higher than what you negotiated in sales? Seems like that's happened 3 times in a row.

Yes, in the finance office, on occasion, the OTD price was higher than negotiated. Since I made it clear that the OTD price was my final one, I said the deal was off unless corrected, and it was.

Just waiting on them to add to the "We Owe" sheet, which happens to be the 2nd to last sheet of 30 you have to sign..
The "We Owe" sheet should state "Shipping to San Diego" since they didn't charge me a single buck on the retail sheet/contract. No mention of it; the "We Owe" sheet is appropriate for that.
