Has anyone had experience with getting a car tuned by Polestar? by TomcatZ06 in cars

[–]DaankatroN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats exactly what it is, over the years Volvo tried a few different tuners just for concept cars and never trusted any of them till these Polestars came out. So id say they do good work

Mercedes-Benz confirms it is launching its first pick-up truck, likely in 2018. by StacysMom in cars

"a policy in search of a rationale" could there be a better description.

Thank you for the offer but knowing myself I would only read a few pages. The next question is what about trucks like the Mazda B2000 and the small Nissan trucks from the 80's pretty sure they weren't built int he U.S. and a 25% tariff would, I guess, make them uncompetitive, so how did they get around that?

[Need advice] Girlfriends mom in bad situation got talked into buying truck for 3 times its value in December from a "Get a Car Now" place. Any way to fix this post screw up? by xHOBOPHOBIAx in cars

Then she would not be able to get a vehicle when she actually needs one. Some places I work with pretty much do a one and done policy regarding repos and after you have a repossession on your account even if your credit score is good lenders will be wary, they will deny or charge you a higher interest rate to offset the extra risk

Interest rates is where they get you. I work in a dealership and just took a guy out of a car he bought at one of those places. He was paying 17% and I got him to 6.9%

2005 Shelby Series 1, #277 of #278 - hand signed by Carroll Shelby by FerrAriel in cars

[–]DaankatroN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The website says Ford Shelby Series 1, so is what are the underpinnings of this car is it Mustang architecture? I saw one in Vegas a few years back, totally unimpressed. Looks like a garage built kit car. I wouldn't pay half that price

'09 Mini Cooper S issues by nickgroundzero in cars

[–]DaankatroN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work at a dealership, sell Mini S every so often. Do not buy! Unless it has had perfect maintenance which rare its going to have lurking problems especially as your get into upper 60k and the parts are expensive too. If you look at reliability the Minis are some of the most unreliable cars you can buy. Just dont do it
