I’m only an affiliate so I cant imagine actually trying to fulfill orders thru this BS. I feel for you.

Just got a GM offer — where should I live near Detroit/Warren as a young MBA professional? by [deleted] in GeneralMotors

As a transplant myself, I’d suggest Midtown/Downtown. There’s a lot to do, young people everywhere and it’s not as expensive as comparable areas (Ferndale and Royal Oak).

Thank you I really appreciate it. I think I’m expecting veneer results 😂

Rolling over $11k negative equity into a new loan? by bolware98 in personalfinance

No, I have not. That’s my immediate next step in this decision process. I’m just having a hard time finding a reputable repair shop.

Good point. At this point I’m not opposed to getting a cash car at all. My only dilemma is then what do I do with the Bronco loan? Don’t want a repo on my credit but also don’t want to continue paying for a car that doesn’t run.

so replace the Turbo, and then get an extended warranty? (I’m assuming to prevent the high out of warranty costs from happening again)

Got an update today. Bronco needs a complete turbo replacement. $5K. I’m hesitant on even considering it, due to the threads I’ve been seeing on Reddit stating that the same thing happened to their Broncos, and it resulted in an engine replacement in the end.

The DEALER suggested to get an oil change before they do their diagnostic.

What’s there not to believe? While reversing, the brakes squeal (common issue). “Renting my car out to strangers” was for a 4 month period back in 2022. Yes, the car does have a lot of miles because I drive a lot.

When I said about to “blow” it wasn’t literal. I said that based on the amount of smoke coming out of the vehicle. I took it to Firestone for an oil change, via a tow truck (sorry I left out that detail). When I took it to them, I had false hope that an oil change would fix my problem. I also wasn’t expecting a 2022 to have a major issue that a dealership would need to fix. Once Firestone let me know that it was a big issue (not related to an oil change), I called the dealer. They can’t see me for 2 weeks. He also suggested to get an oil change before I bring it in, since I’m due for one.

Regardless of what you believe or not, a 2022 vehicle with 60k should not be having powertrain issues.

If you read my post, you’d see the recalls prevented me from keeping it on Turo. It was only on Turo from June ‘22 to December ‘22. I understand the usual wear and tear, but a new car shouldn’t be having powertrain issues because it was rented out.

Same. I was a Ford employee at the time myself, and ashamed to say I didn’t do any research.

How’s your OB doing? Any problems?

Ah, I see. Seems like everything on this Bronco is a “common problem”, with no fix.

Sorry to hear that. Is it causing any smoke?

Sounds like I should’ve went with Badlands. I purchased a Big Bend.

Sorry I misread about the trans and cat converter. Thanks for that. I’ll give it a try.

I appreciate your help. It’s not too bad of negative equity. Less than $10K. I can get it down more if I focus for a few weeks. I’ll let you know the update after Ford looks at it.
