Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Oh and the amazing part is this is cheaper to insure than my Corolla. $780/yr vs $950.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I pick it up tomorrow at 10am. I’ll end up putting a good 3-400 Highway miles on it this weekend and then will drop it off at my clear bra department on Monday for the week. Full front bumper, hood, fenders, mirror caps, leading edge of roof and rear rockers for $800 at the employee rate, where they...

So back to cars... GR86 is released to trucking. Dealer ETA just updated to 2/4-2/7. Nice! Would be great to see it this soon ! Did you end up deciding on the pink jeep ? Money factors and residuals seem to be funky. Current lease payment is $508 on a low 50K MSRP Rubicon. Jumping to a 4xe Rubicon ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I've contacted a couple 'yota dealerships here and both said I could put in an order for one. The second gave me a no-BS, MSRP and no bullshit fees quote for one too, so it isn't every dealership trying to screw over customers, at least not here in flyover country. BRZ orders are indeed closed righ...

Cucktrek: Making Money Never Felt So Good

Can finally close this thread out. After nearly a month from selling it, the Cucktrek hit Carvana... www.carvana.com/vehicle/2185458 $34,990 asking price. They paid me $34,405 for it. So $585 difference. They had to pay someone to pick it up, transport it somewhere, then clean the entire thing (it ...

Just found out the GR86 is being held at port because there are no ALL WEATHER FLOOR LINERS.

Flipped the build over to carpet mats and got the hold released. Should leave port on 2/5.

If he was in the Northeast or the SE regions, there may not have even been a car at all and they’re unable to get an allocation swap done. The SET region only ordered manual/premium trims in black, white, red and silver, while the NE is generally getting shafted on allocations as the original car s...

GR86 pushed out to 2nd week of Feb now. It’s been at the port since 1/13 and is has not been taken off the boat yet. My friend cancelled his Neptune Blue premium order today because of two push backs already. He ordered as soon as the books opened too. Sucks your car is sitting there though If he w...

Fuck, that's frustrating. :rage:
Not too worried. It’s the car I want in the color I want.

I also live in the northeast and it’s the middle of winter.

The real question is what the hell are you going to get that your wife will also be onboard with? She doesn't care if I don't spend more money.

Update the All City with GRX hydro components or get a different rig? I would like stronger brakes. Frame is QR axles, IS tabs for disc mounts, and straight steerer tube. It’s a heavy frame but I love the damn thing. Only replacement I can think of is a Santa Cruz Stigmata. This is basically the on...

MY23 will likely start in November-ish, based off when Toyota typically updates model years. If you’re interested in a GR86 at MSRP with no bullshit, let me know and I’ll put you in touch with the GM at my old stomping grounds. They’re based south of Princeton, NJ. Yikes, so if Subaru is similar th...

Subaru stopped taking sold orders for the BRZ last week for the rest of MY22 to fulfill the remaining initial orders. In the first 3 months they sold a little over 1500 BRZs.

My car has been pushed back to the first week of February. There's a 2-3 week backlog on processing cars. :| It’s January/February in the northeast in winter. It was 28 degrees and snowing out today. I have Michelin AS4’s waiting for it but if I didn’t have to put them on I’d be ok with that.
