Well, good sign... the newest part seems to have fixed the Benz. Started her up and finally had no codes. Could only run it for a minute because I need to change the oil, tighten the water pump (probably replace the gasket), and get all the hoses and wires tucked away. But all other startups have had immediate rough running, stalling, and multiple codes. Crazy that one little metal ring could cause all those problems. I guess it is possible the whole unit was bad or clogged in some way and the missing ring was just a visual cue and not really the cause, but it is what it is.
Sad that I have so little free time that it took me this long. My weekends will free up a little in a couple of weeks after martial arts training takes a hiatus, so that will be nice. Although my little one is currently playing on 2 baseball teams, as well, so that hasn’t been conducive to getting chores done, either. But I don’t think the season could be much longer for those.

A 2010 Passat, looks very clean in the pictures. I believe that was the last year model which came with the good 2.0T engine, not the newer watered down engine. And the DSG transmission.

@laurasdada - not sure if you already got the info you needed, but if memory serves, you just need to include a copy of the sales order for your PHEV or EV along with the completed IRS form.
Nothing too in depth.

As I posted in RWTIV:
So I went and looked at the M2. The Cadillac store was closed so I just did a walk around. It does look brand new(which it should) More weirdness: it has the $2,500 M Drivers Package which got the PO a day at the BMW PC and a 174 mph top speed(instead of the silly 155 mph limiter). I’m at least going to test drive it, although having to negotiate with that flakey dealer is discouraging.

I wonder where people think they are legally and safely going to be able to break 155. Even the highest top speed at Laguna Seca at this year’s Best Driver’s Car, as set by Randy Pobst in a Ferrari F8 Tributo, was 148 mph.

How long was that straight? Sorry to say, but Maybe broken speedometer. Or that had a crazy long straight that no longer exists anywhere else. Just research some of the tests all over the interwebs. 150 in a production car is not common in the least.

I imagine you could save thousands by going with a gently used 2019 or 2020, but nothing has popped up that strikes your fancy?
In any case, that one is beautiful. I like the LBB, but the Hockenheim is stunning in person.

As I’ve said, In my stock MS3 I easily hit 130 mph on the front straight at Putnam- and I was one of the low key instructors who didn’t shoot for fastest lap in every session.

@breld Yes, it’s not a good deal at $65k, but I believe $61k would be a decent price. As you know, M2 Comp prices are all over the place. The BMW Store in Cincinnati has a 2019 Hockenheim Silver car I may look at for $62.5k. It has 8.5k miles on it. Unfortunately, the BMW Store usually doesn’t deal much on their used cars.

At least something out there is just as stupid as housing prices. Would look good parked in front of a 500K house that was 250K in 2016.
I do intend to go look at the car this evening (if my sick dog doesn't get worse), and I'll know more then. If the car is what it appears to be in the pictures (other than the stance!), I will ask for a look at the title. That will give away all "curbstoners", and those who only obtained the car to try and flip it.

I received an email back requesting my zip code & the VIN on my Pilot. I provide it to him.
Next I get an email asking me if I owe money on the Pilot (not sure what this has to do with anything). I reply yes along with the loan balance, who it is financed through, and that I got an offer from ALGO to buy it for $25K.
I'll let you know how the story unfolds.

I just hope I don’t get a “great news. You have $X equity in your Pilot, so once we use that as a down payment, your payment will be...” email.

My 2008 Passat 2.0t also had the normal 6 speed automatic transmission with torque converter. But Motor Trend says all of the 2010's had the DSG

You'd lease the Explorer for sure, right? So with no tax savings to consider, you'd probably be better off just unloading the Pilot to Carvana, Vroom or Carmax? The Pilot must be high on their list of desired inventory.

I shopped the Maser Ghibli when I was considering the XF. I couldn't get comfy in the Maser, the ergonomics weren't great (well, Italian). Back seat a bit cramped (sounding just like Dad now!). And, could see the ChryCo bits, but they were bits that probably worked a whole lot better than their Italian counterparts!
So, I took the safer, more reliable route and bought British.

I learned something today! It would be nice to know how the DSG performs vs the traditional auto. As you know VW reverted back the traditional auto on the 2.5, 1.8t and 2.0t.

Ford currently has a $2,750 “trade in incentive” rebate if you trade in your vehicle for a new Ford. It’s $1000 higher if you go for a Limited, ST, or Platinum.

Just got an email back saying the General Manager is off today, so I’ll have to get back to you tomorrow about your Honda. Do you want to put all the equity in your Honda towards the lease?
I replied no. I’d like a check back for all of the equity in my Honda. $0 cap cost reduction with only 1st payment due at signing.

or just keep the Honda, pay it off, and run it into the ground. Unless you made the fatal mistake of showing your wife something nicer when you might not be able to deliver it! That is how I ended up with the first RDX.

At some point, a year or two back, before the pandemic, I had a $2,000 "private offer" from Ford. I had heard of such things from GM, but never from Ford, until I received mine in the mail.
Long since expired, of course.
ON EDIT: I see that blockquotes are getting messed up again.
The local dealers who list a discount are at about $1000 of list for and XLT.

I own one car that at least in theory could do 150 but I’d never try that without some aerodynamic modifications. It’s rock solid at 90 but I’d be scared at 150 that it would go airborne.
