I hope the eventual owner of my XC70 T6 that Carmax bought replaced the slipping awd angle gear.
Hat tip to Bobby Stainless for telling me to offload it there.
Extra bonus was that I found my old allroad at the Audi dealer next door 15 minutes later.
Speaking as the former owner of an 03 Suburban, I would most definitely not recommend one unless it was single-owner from someone you knew and trusted. The best thing that happened to mine was a deer running into the side of it and Geico cutting me a check for $2300 for the damage; it just about covered that year's mechanical fixes.Quote:

In my mind, he'd keep his sequoia and get a nice sporty (economical) second vehicle to run around town in and keep miles off his heavy hauler that he'll use exclusively for manly truck jobs.
What's a good, affordable, sporty car that danno could add to the stable? Miata? Solstice? Other???
the geo tracker…
fact.
Well I think we just covered this - obviously it’s a fiat 500.Quote:

Actually a BRZ/FRS/GT86 is a great, fun, efficient and sporty daily ride if you don't HAVE to have AWD and you can fit skis up to about 190 inside (if you're creative).
The bank usually pays the dealer a spiff of between 1% and 3% of the amount financed. That’s a nice little margin for pushing some paper. If there’s no early payoff penalty you might consider just quietly going with their financing and refinancing it with your bank or credit union later. Everything is smoother if everybody is happy. If you do it within 90 days they’ll usually have to give back their fee (dealer reserve), per most indirect financing contracts between financial institutions and dealers.Quote:

Way under budget too.

Yep. Same here as MS knows. We need the old 4R to tow the ski boat and haul and it is nice for deer hunting and gear heavy trips. Mostly, it is a garage queen, while we bang around in our much cheaper to operate Prius and (in theory and so far) Alltrack wagons.Quote:

The disadvantage is we have old Michelins on the 4R that are weather checked and not yet completely worn out, but mostly used up, so we're losing fractionally on not using up our investment and the extra insurance (not much).
I'd keep the 06 and get a brand new hybrid Rav4 to beater around in.
Or get the all new Sequoia, which is actually arguably an upgrade.

Why do people swap in those headlights. They look stupid as fuck, last about a half hour before there's a pint of water in them, and provide as much light output as a birthday candle.Quote:

Great car in its time. But $8k plus?
The turning radius on that thing is half of Boulder.
Holy shit.Quote:

In the comments, the pacman guy admits to being into that truck for over $250k :nonono2:
Also, his middle school aged son is apparently smarter than him.
You're just trying to trigger people this week, aren't you?Quote:

How may would you have to buy to find one in which all the buttons actually.... worked?
Lol. Buddy had one of those in college. Surprisingly good off road.Quote:

I've always been in too much of a hurry to stop and ask how many extra turns they needed on the drivers side front coilover to offset their fat ass.Quote:
