:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

I rented a Nissan Armada with 39K miles on it in Hawaii. "Tahoe Class Vehicle." It was.......a pile. Rear suspension sag big time, resulting in near tuck with 4 passengers and luggage. Handled vaguely even accounting for its barge status. Thirsty. Ugly. Some mediocre design components lik...

I really don’t get that trim level. It’s has the m motor … but it’s detuned … m badging all over the place … it’s over 100k msrp … but it’s not an XM5 A horrendous fam car imo from a cost of ownership perspective when you have a great B58 powered X5 for like 65k It's NOT a family car. It's a dicksw...

I could see that for sure. I got that car seat fully installed in here. It just barely fits behind the passenger seat with the passenger seat slid all the way up. Michelle can fit there still, but it’s tight. Luckily we shouldn’t ever need to drive with the three of us in here, but nice to know we ...

Breh notes P2 cars have the silver push button start on the shift knob. Yep, no keyless with start stop no P2. @ Max, my friend Eric in SF got the 2008 w/Pano and no P2. You can get a 2007 Mazda 3 Grand Touring........Bi Xenon. But a 2007 MBZ E Class with Bi-Xenon is unobtanium. In retrospect it ma...

Yea that X5 has got to be the quickest way to burn through 120k in 4 years known to man.
Pretty wild. That is too fast tire wear for a family vehicle… :nope:

What do you guys pay for registration fees in your respective states ? Here in cali it is roughly 1.5% of the car's value per year. Curious what ya'll are seeing. Flat fees here, with a few different qualifiers. We live in Multnomah county, so we have the dumb fucking $112 fee on top of the $136. S...

Yep. Low depreciation, relatively cheap maintenance, pretty decent reliability and cheap consumable parts compared to other SUVs. Now my buddies X5m60i was just at the 10k dealer service and they suggested they do rear tires... they are 335 wide and cost $750+ a PIECE + install. 2k or so all in :hu...

I can't ever get more than 30K out of any tires, which is because I drive like an asshole? Now I hear about all this dry rot, and I'm like :thisisfine: I mean same and I don't even put many miles on. All Terrains seem to be the exception though, 50K on the :jeep: and they're going pretty strong. A ...

That's a really good over rev report, from what I'm seeing?
I tried to google it as I am no P car expert, it seems like level 4 is already bad? but I could be wrong. Also what a weird thing to track.

No clue, I have yet to contact a single dealer.

I'll most likely buy used, so they should be better on the pricing. Less :dillerman: tricks.

I loved the AS3+ tires I had on the MK7. Quiet, good grip for a no-season, and really good steering feel compared to something like a DWS with super squishy sidewalls. The ones on the 86 are meh. They're super loud IMO, and maybe it's more suspension than tires but I still think this car rides like...
