I rarely come here these days, but every time I do @wemay gets a new car (no joking) :) How do you get those deals? I mean, do they phone you or you're just stopping by whenever they service your car?

Had a 2015 GLA250 in 2017-2020, the transmission was repaired only like 3 times. Good thing I’ve had extended warranty. Merc no more

Lol this is one of the funniest topics I’ve seen in years. The guy asks for an advice, gets M1/Castrol/VAG oils with approvals responses. Goes “Thanks for the advice, I’m going with the royal purple” 🤣🤣🤣 I hope it’s 0w16 RP then, for extra protection

Try another dealer / call their HQ. I've had much success with KIAs warranties in the past. On the other hand, my 17 Sportage clearly had smth wrong with the engine that I couldnt point to - some random things like 19-21 mpg on the highway, struggling to start and so on. Sold it and don't look...

18 Sportage burning oil? These have 10 year of power train warranty right?

2021 Ford Escape Hybrid Out: Syn blend Motorcraft 0w20 + FL910 In: Full synthetic Motorcraft 0w20 + FL910 Paid for 6 oil changes at the time of purchase (like $35 each), ford has given some ford points that I happily used for an upgrade to fully synthetic oil today :)

2012 Ford Mondeo 2003 BMW 530i 2013 Toyota Prius 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 2017 Kia Sportage 2015 Mercedes GLA250 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid 2020 Porsche Macan Technically, the Benz and Macan are my wife's cars but I'm paying and servicing so :)

Carfax Car Care allows you watch any car by VIN or license plate https://www.carfax.com/Service/ Only carfax's service records are available, but it gives you a basic idea of where the car is and what's the mileage Not good for DIY owners obviously

new or used?

She can drive anything manual from old soviet cars to vans like Mercedes Sprinter :LOL:

hey sorry I'm in Seattle, NYC is just too far away but do appreciate the offer

Do you know if smth like this is a good idea? https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/puyallup-2007-ford-focus-se-great/7486167554.html#

This hurts on so many levels!

Thank you all!

My in-law came from Ukraine, while all the docs are pending she needs to get around with her out-of-country license. Adding to my vehicles' insurance will be as expensive as buying a used car. Can you think of any vehicle I can get her for about $5k these days? I know I'm asking for too much...
