This, 100%. If it’s damaged, you’ll see it with this approach and be covered by warranty for engine replacement. If not damaged, you’re covered for 100,000 in general. It’s a win-win for you. READ the fine print though on the warranty before you sign.

Roger, there is a used car lot in Leesburg VA that specializes in buying "totaled" Jeeps from insurance companies, fixes them, and sells them. They are always churning inventory too. Just a corner lot type of place that used to be a gas station. I stopped in there a couple of years ago to ask...

Yeah I had misread his post. No comment on Florida! Folks have lived on what used to be the edge of Naples to the west (not the edge anymore) since 1999. Insane what's going on, but when you're surrounded by the ocean on 3 sides, it's only a matter of time before the hurricane damage becomes too...

How has the Mini treated you? What year? We miss having a “toy” zippy car. Wife always like the Mini. I’m leaning more towards the Mazda Miata stick. We’ve done the GTI for years and VW kinda lost me with this new version. Also love that white BMW 135 (?) thst was posted up too! Nobody can...

....the "wife's crap" corner.

A white 2021 local car, BL, in my area. 14.2k on the odometer, looks loaded, $42.9 asking price. I'm sure you know this already, but if not, during your search, check the carfax listing as Ford puts the original window sticker to the report. You can see all options, blend date, etc...

Roger123, do you have an attorney you can discuss this with? Doesn't seem right that you're not able to be made whole to replace the exact same type, model, and features of the car you had. The burden should be on the driver's insurance company to replace your vehicle with the exact same, market...

Winner... Man, after seeing this thread, I've come to three conclusions. First: What do you guys do for a living? Second: I need to up my game. Third: Next house....a double-wide with a 7 car garage down by the river. Third actually isn't quite a joke. We're planning our escape from...

All I can add is that mine, a 2024 that was ordered Dec 23 and delivered June 24, shows zero recalls. Perhaps I just opened Pandora's box with saying this, but some of these recalls seem to be right in range of when mine was built, yet show no indications of being included. So......who knows. I...

Hi, Grainger, yes my name Tommy. I understand you put the warranty label on the box, correct? I need one of those boxes.

Just curious, what would something like this probably cost without the warranty coverage? Making me think perhaps the extended warranty for powertrain may not be such a bad idea after all. I still have plenty of time (13k, 1 year old), but typically don't buy an extended warranty as I've not yet...

Messing around with the Ford website today (slow day). I don't understand why they've made some of the changes/requirements that they have for a custom order. Where is the "Roast" interior color? Why does the $300 brush guard require the Sas package on the Badlands? You can get the modular...

I agree with this statement. I had 0% issues with mine. I even took it to the dealership afterwards to have them verify I had the fluid levels correct after I did it. They had no issue with me switching the pan. I'm a Costco Cruiser myself, but wanted the ability to do drain & fills along the...

I think most mechanics would agree that 10,000 is a bit of a gamble now for full synthetic. I follow the 3/5/7 rule myself, and may ditch the 7 for 5. If regular oil....3,000 If synthetic blend oil....5,000 If full synthetic.....7,000 But seeing a lot of YouTube mechanics that I follow saying...

I'm curious, when the MIC gets replaced, what is the warranty coverage for replacement top? For those who have a cracked MIC and wait until the last day of their 3/36 warranty to have it replaced, does the new one not have a warranty anymore? Is there a basic 1 year warranty on it (I assume the...

Perhaps we’ve found a good use for those defective batteries that catch fire for no apparent reason at 12:30 in the garage…. Hook’em up, and cook’em down..

I think an absolute bonehead move to mess with the formula now. Square headlights will instantly kill the throwback charm from the Gen1 that has brought a lot of people to Ford from other brands. I also think the sales figures for Q1 (not sure if Q2 is out yet?) shows just how many people were...

yeah, that would not be good! But would also mean the dealership should be ordering the new transmission for him ASAP. At this point, I would have it confirmed by a different shop just what kind of fluid he's got in the transmission here before taking back to the same dealership that did the...

Not knocking the dealership, but I've seen issues with getting a tire balanced correctly before. Told they were, confirmed with the same equipment a few hours later at a different shop they were not. So.... maybe someone is thinking transmission fluid all tastes like hotel chicken? Unless you're...

I’m sure they’ll refresh it and it will begin to evolve away from the Gen 1 throwback charm. Honestly that’s fine with me. Just makes ours that more valuable. I’m sure the focus will now start to shift from “where” it will take you, to “how” it will take you. That will spark the evolution...
