Right. None of the fancy plug in stuff, either.

That’s probably what stickguy should buy to hold him over until the market comes back to earth.
BTW, did you mention what year that is?

It’s a 2007 non-Touring model. Appears to have the second highest option package (no leather, but has nav, VSC, JBL audio, xenons, and fogs).

Corvette, does not matter how fast it is to me. Not for a spare car for around town duty. Might never take it anywhere that it needs to break 50 anyway!

It was like this, a GL model, cloth, sunroof. I had forgotten earlier models had the column shift.

GM to restart pickup output; downtime added at crossover, sedan plants
General Motors will resume full-size pickup production Monday, as planned, after cutting output this week due to the global microchip shortage, the automaker said Wednesday. But six other North American plants will take additional downtime, including Fairfax Assembly, which has been idled for nearly six months.
GM's pickup plants -- Flint Assembly in Michigan, Silao Assembly in Mexico and Fort Wayne Assembly in Indiana -- will restart full production Monday. Flint had been operating on only one shift this week, and Fort Wayne and Silao were idled.
The chip shortage has hampered production for GM and other automakers since early this year. GM has prioritized chips for its lucrative full-size pickup and SUV segments over crossovers and sedans. AutoForecast Solutions estimates that the chip crisis has reduced North America vehicle production by 1.8 million vehicles so far. It projects the total impact could reach 2.1 million.
GM scheduled additional downtime at six other plants:
Lansing Delta Township, Spring Hill, Ramos Arizpe assembly plants: Each of the plants will take an additional week of downtime. GM now expects production to restart Aug. 9 after shutting down July 19. Ramos, in Mexico, builds the Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox. Spring Hill, in Tennessee, builds the Cadillac XT5 and XT6 and the GMC Acadia. Lansing Delta Township, in Michigan, builds the Chevy Traverse and the Buick Enclave.
San Luis Potosi Assembly: The plant in Mexico will add three more weeks of downtime and is now scheduled to resume production Aug. 23. The plant has been down since July 19. It builds the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain.
Lansing Grand River Assembly: GM plans to resume production at the Michigan plant Aug. 30, two weeks later than planned. Production of the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans at the plant has been down since May 10. Production of the Chevy Camaro, also built at Lansing Grand River, will not be impacted.
Fairfax Assembly: The Kansas City plant will take an additional four weeks of downtime. It was expected to resume production Aug. 23. Now Cadillac XT4 production is scheduled to restart Sept. 20, but Chevrolet Malibu production will remain idled, GM said. Fairfax has been down since Feb. 8.

If I hadn't turned my lease in early, I would most likely be buying it out.

My guess is still that by December things will be looking at least a bit better. But to get even an okay deal it will probably be important to look for something that's not in high demand. In other words, since almost everyone these days seems to want an suv, a sedan might have more room for negotiation.

Yeah, if you've saved that much then maybe it's reasonable to consider a lease around $450 or so a month? Or what did you have in mind? And since you might be able to get by with a 7500 mile a year lease you should be able to get into a nice vehicle for that—probably even a nice suv.
I thought you got rid of the Acura because you were not fond of it - maybe preferred a V6???
Got one last week which looked good after doing a for sale search on a site that aggregates listings on other sites.
At this point, it's hard to justify 2 daily's when I only need one.
The Explorer seems to be working out well.
Mileage is just a bit lower than the MKZ in local driving and the other night, we filled all 7 seats coming back from a wedding, due to some extra people needing a ride home.
It's also done well on the 2 road trips.
Try to find a 2021 model year, however - the new stuff doesn't have great lease programs (aka 2022 Civic).

the $8k was payments saved, a few bucks on maintenance, insurance, what they paid me and no disposition fee. Though doing it again, might be closer to $9. In any case, a significant amount of money. And if I wasn't going to buy it, would be looking for a replacement soon anyway.
I really got rid of it because of equity, and with the shutdowns I knew it would get very little use. Plus we had a brand new RDX in the house too for taking places. That car is now 16 months old, and just broke 7,500 miles. So trying to keep a 2nd car exercised too was going to be tough.
if I get something new in December, that is when the TLX lease would have run out anyway. And something like a Civic or Elantra (N line) is certainly a possibility, if that is what is available and not crazy prices. But we shall see!

But does it have more power than a Corolla?

Dipstick
still one of the best deals is a 2021 TLX with tech for $442/mo, 1st only DAS. At least that is a nice car, for around pre-pandemic money (I figure anything within about 10% or $50/month more than before the market went nuts is pretty good).

Those Camaros to me seem like something that people get tired of pretty quickly. Hard to see it being a daily for many years. Or a daily period.
I love the color. But my wife really has an aversion to orange.

I don’t get to VIR often but if I did, I’d rather be in an M2 comp
Take it as you will
Weirdly, the cabin air filter is brand new. There was also some work I know was done (catalytic converter and O2 sensors, hybrid battery rebuild) that didn't make it onto the report. I was mainly curious to see whether the ATF in the power split device had been changed. If there had been a history of changing it every 50-75k, I might be inclined to continue, but since there's not, I guess it will be a "lifetime fluid" for me.
Take it as you will
Okay, it's overfilled, but how do you get "1 quart" overfilled with no markers or indicators before/below 1 quart low and after/past/above full.
You drain it and compare the quantity that you get out to the manufacturer oil capacity in the owner’s manual
