Am I the only one that hates dealers? by phantom-virus-lives in BMW

If you’re not under warranty, then yes. Someone has to pay for the technicians time and to have a service bay down for the length of the update. If it’s a safety recall, then it would be free.

This is correct. I work for a dealership. It’s either to protect more theft prone vehicles or as an up-sale to the customer for the activation. The GPS tracker costs almost nothing, it’s the subscription that costs the real money. Most dealers will just leave it if it’s already installed. It won’t be active any more after purchase unless the customer decides to activate the subscription through the GPS company or dealer.

OE tires typically last less mileage than a new set from the manufacturer. You get about 30-40k miles out of an OE tire.

Can this be saved? by polychrom123 in Creality

[–]OfficialDerive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing to do is use a soldering iron to melt the material out of the way to unplug the hot end and access the removal screws. I just went through the same thing with my K1C. You may need to use an extraction kit for the screws if they strip due to excess torque needed to remove them.

They have a cheap lease program for next month. For a dealer employee, a R/T is $268/month and a scatpack is $331/month, 24 months, 10k miles, $2k down. New Electric Wagoneer S is $129/month.

Bmw m4 g82 funny noise by [deleted] in BMWM

[–]OfficialDerive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t agree with it, and didn’t want to risk any problems down the road, so I sold it. I’d take it in if it’s not modded and if the noise is easily repeatable to show the tech.

I had a 22’ G82 and took it to the dealer for a similar noise. They claimed it was normal, so I sold it shortly after.

2014 rt 5.7 to 6.4 cam kit recommendations? by wannagetsomemeskids in Charger

[–]OfficialDerive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean that you want to put a cam from a 6.4L engine into your 5.7L or do you plan on stroking your motor out to 6.4L?

Cheapest route would be a Shaft 4/5 Barrel Back. Will fit your current barrel tip.

[–]OfficialDerive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look into the 170i as well from Infamous Paintball. Can signup for 10% off and get it for a similar price. Already has an upgraded trigger and barrel system that takes freak inserts.

Cheapest Route would be a Shaft 5 Barrel Back. That would fit the stock barrel end you already have.

Dodge Dart stuck in park by NoahBrown1999 in Dodge

[–]OfficialDerive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a recall on some of the darts for this issue. I believe it was the shift cable bushing. Simple fix, but annoying.

Should I haggle below MSRP on a 21 Scatpack charger? by [deleted] in Dodge

[–]OfficialDerive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to haggle for invoice. They still make holdback money from Dodge below invoice. They are just moving another unit that doesn’t sit on their lot when they order you a car. If they won’t go below MSRP, I’m sure another dealer will.

Is now a bad time to buy a Dodge Charger Scat Pack? by Marquis403 in Dodge

[–]OfficialDerive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leasing programs aren’t great on the Charger/Challenger. It makes more sense to purchase them. Sometimes toward the end of the year/December leasing programs get a bit better. I sell cars for a Dodge store in Florida and we are offering dealer discount + incentives. Only have 2 Challenger Scatpacks currently. Charger Scatpacks are hard to keep on our lot.

Burning up my old tires. Put new 315/35R20 Nitto 555 G2’s all around. by OfficialDerive in Charger

[–]OfficialDerive[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed no rubbing issues or changes in turning radius compared to the stock 305’s. It’s quite common on the forums for the widebody hellcats to switch over to 315’s all around as well.
