You also paid a market adjustment; it just happened to be negative. Dealer charges $6k above sticker, they are called unethical and are accused of gouging people. Buyer pays $6k under MSRP they are called smart and good negotiators. People expect dealers to never charge above MSRP when...

To pick up from my last post. Before I retired a few months ago from my job in plastic molding quality, the facility I worked at made many aftermarket master cylinder reservoirs. We might get an order for several hundred of a particular part once every few years. Not a ton of sales for parts...

Having just retired as a Quality Engineer at an injection molding plant, I can surmise what happened here. (we did not make filters) The mold flash could potentially be caused by a) excess variation in the filter media making it not able to seal off in the mold or b) a mold that needs repair or...

Its a 1957 Pontiac We agree.. You are 100% correct if performing a restoration. The OP is looking for a driver quality car, not a project. That is why I advised that a less popular model would be much more affordable. That 1957 Pontiac will be significantly cheaper than a comparable 1957...

Sure it's feasible. Less popular models and 4 doors Pontiac and Oldsmobile are generally cheaper than the comparable Chevrolet. Same for Mercury.

That is very helpful. Found a couple good choices. Hilariously, one is the OE filter for my car which hasn't had a stock air cleaner in the 21 years I have owned it, so who knew. lol I am very limited on hood clearance; since it is 0.13" taller than the K&N, I just to make sure my air cleaner...

I have a 60° V6, so a 14" just looks kind of ridiculous. Wondering how I could find an 11" paper equivalent to my K&N

Those are all 14" I have an 11" K & N

I just sent some back a few weeks ago for the first time. My Arteon requires 504 Ow-30 and it isn't easy to find locally. I bought VW branded oil that is Mobil 1 ESP in a VW bottle. Oil and filter cost me $58 and the UPS return shipping was $17 making my savings $41. Since I'm recently retired...

I have one in an old car with an 11" open element air cleaner. If I wanted to use paper, how would I find one with the same dimensions?

Or risk one of their competitors taking the deal instead

There will be a recycle code listed on it most likely stating the type of plastic

When I was in my early 20's (nearly 40 years ago), I took a job as an attendant at a self serve gas station. I was only there for a few days when the manager told me "Tell your friends not to buy premium" When I looked at her, she said "It comes from the same tanks as regular. Sometimes someone...

I believe Fram may have been the OE filter. Owners are likely looking for authenticity

How about I65 through Louisville to Nashville, and I40 to Knoxville? Avoid I75 completely ?

I always use Mann, Hengst, or Mahle as well in my VW. I usually add one on at Amazon if I need to reach the $35 free shipping threshold, but my local Advance sells Mann also. On my VW CC, the Purolater Classic is a rebranded Mann, so that can be useful on an Castrol Edge oil change deal...

Kurt has little to few options for 2012.There are literally no openings with any teams this late in the season, and Daytona testing starts next month. Unfortunately for him, he has burned way too many bridges, and the mega sponsors don't want to touch him with a 10 foot pole right now...

Whenever that happens to me, I make sure to let the store manager know & also send a comment on the corporate web site giving the store location and the person's name. I have dealt in customer service most of my life in manufacturing quality assurance, so I am somewhat sensitive to things like...
