plenty of people are running straight through mufflers (resonators) with the turbo engines. turbos are pretty quiet before you even get to the muffler. there are a couple of extra feet of exhaust on the system and the turbo impellers work the same as baffles in the muffler... turbos are really...
you may elect to pay at the dealership, and they will submit the registration paperwork to the state. OR you can pay the dealership and get a bill of sale and then you go to your local dmv and register it. you are not required to register a vehicle if it is being used as a farm truck, etc., so...
a safety rating is not a requirement for sale in the US. there are some safety requirements, but the safety rating is not a requirement. it is used as much as a sales tool as anything else. i seriously doubt ferrari has provided too many of their cars to be crashed. neither has porsche, but i...
chances are you could fabricate skid plates for much less than purchasing form a dealership (if the parts are even available). unless you are doing serious off roading, bash plates are really not necessary. give it some time, and i am sure some of take-offs will become available on e-bay when...
what are you looking to accomplish with a dual battery installation? also the aux switches are not high enough amperage for anything more than a relay for a battery circuit. i cannot see the aux switches rated above 10 amps...
they usually have display units in store. the most sought after feature is the drawer slides. if you are a mechanic, you may have over a hundred pounds of tools in a single drawer and if the box has cheap slides they are difficult to open and close. if you are working in a shop with multiple...
sorry, but what has your loss been other than a bit of inconvenience? it is not like your dealer forced you to purchase a damaged vehicle, or tried to deceive you by passing off a repaired vehicle. i am sure your hopes were up and now you are sad but what is your real loss? the carrier damaged...
go get your car from carvana or vroom.... those sites are what is driving market prices higher... they are the ones who are charging the exorbitant prices on used cars driving up market prices. so a dealer who also needs to maintain a brick and mortar business is not allowed to take place in the...
the analogy of bicycle and motorcycle were appropriate, because it is about choice. if you are choosing a vehicle for strict utilitarian purpose of going to and from work, get a toyota corolla or tacoma. neither one will fail you. unlike you, i am purchasing my bronco strictly for the fun of...
sometimes you need to choose what makes you happy. i actually prefer to drive a car with a manual transmission. it is a selling point now. there are so few vehicles with available manual transmissions, to many it is a sought after attribute.
your argument is akin to why would someone choose to...
really? we are having this discussion again? "i hate a manual... why should i get a manual?" we are adults, right? if you want an automatic get one! it is ok, we weren't holding a place for you in a man's world anyway. some guys like the big girls others like the skinny girls and the are others...
and if they buy at a inflated price and no one wants to pay the price, then they lose money. but since there are not too many who share your moral outrage, they will pay the inflated price. so, you might not be happy but the dealer and the buyer are happy. don't spend your money with the dealer...
the VIN is a model year exclusive. the VIN once struck is for the specific model year. it is not interchangeable between years. the 10th digit of your VIN is the year of production, and cannot be used on another year's produced vehicle.
your delivery time will vary. most new cars are transported to the local dealer's area by rail and then placed on trucks for delivery from the rail yards. the amount of time on the rail may vary from distance and rail yard transfers while on rail. since there probably are few points farther away...
