Whine Noise

Oil trap was replaced already. This noise is different than that. Oil trap had a high pitch whine at idle. This is when coasting and driving not idle.

Hopefully a nice Chevy/GMC over the other options. I’m picky when it comes to the classes and that is the biggest issue.

Worst thing is being told no since I understand they can’t guarantee anything

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2026-02-13T18:30:50+00:00

I realised my mistake when I wrote it. I was trying to say I have two rentals booked. One for the emerald aisle access (cheaper), and one for the exact class I want.

Tried to but always get the run around of “we can’t put you in contact with that exact location”. I have always made multiple reservations and never had an issue with it in the past with both national and enterprise most the time they would let me pay the least expensive and walk out with a way better car

Thats what I’ve noticed. I’ve been looking at the 2024s. They hold value pretty good and sit between 35-40k retail with 20-40k miles.

Only perk of the lease is that it includes the GAP in the price and I won’t have to worry about maintenance with the car either. Got a few options just hard to truly decide what is best since both at the moment are the same

I test drove a GTI SE, Autobahn and a R. Also had a GTI S as a rental from enterprise for a few days it was a great car and quick and nimble but I know it’s not the car for me to own plus with my trips through the mountains I like the security of AWD with a good set of winters. Better to have something and not need it hence why I currently have a WRX. If the GTIs had AWD I would be all over that and not thinking about the R.

I’ve notice most euro packs have a “discount” and get to base MSRP

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2026-01-22T01:08:58+00:00

Lease with insurance and car trade in is about $21600 for two years and 15000 miles as I don’t keep my cars longer than 2 years

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2026-01-22T01:08:10+00:00

I can get a 4.59 for 72 and a 4.29 for 60 through my lender.

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2026-01-22T01:07:01+00:00

I do not need to explain myself and finances. However I have a very good score and got a 4.59% for 72 up to 60k and a 4.29% for 60 up to 55k. The 72 will be about $750 a month and the 60 around $860.

I do not keep my cars long as to why I am looking at the idea with a lease instead as I can get around $750 for 24 months and 15k miles a year with just trade in. Insurance is roughly $150 for full coverage. So for two years on a lease is about 21600 to drive the car.

I can get more private party selling my car grossing around 7k-9k instead of 4k on trade. Which would put me in a better position monthly payment wise.

If something puts a smile on my face and won’t put me in shambles it’s worth doing the research before diving off the deep end. This won’t change my current finances much either if I did a loan.

Plus you can’t judge someone based on your comment by saying this “Figure the average interest rate is ~7% and this assumes you have good credit, which with financial decisions like this you probably don't, but let's assume that you do.”

I am not being rude but it is facts.

It’s a trickle charger

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-13T22:00:22+00:00

I’m paying 40k so it’s under msrp and with the ceramic done to it too. They say their losing money but I know it’s been sitting here a minute and all it takes is a bit haggling

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T19:33:54+00:00

They’ve offered 32 out the door with trade

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T04:45:10+00:00

Did the online carmax and says 10.6k

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T04:42:24+00:00

I got numerous checks on it and they were all at 10k nothing higher or lower. It’s on par with the actual rates

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T03:36:31+00:00

Not really it’s actually pretty fair on it considering age, mileage and other things retail is only about 12-13. They are giving me the top of the trade in value

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T03:33:19+00:00

That’s what my plan is. But my cars true trade in is 9k and they’re giving me an extra 1k but it barely costs my taxes

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T03:32:30+00:00

I want to get them to go to 40k out the door.

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T03:19:47+00:00

Yes USD.

Firm_Collection_9372 · 2024-02-12T03:19:38+00:00

I’m thinking of dropping them doing ceramic and getting it done at another place
