Looks like howlin' good stuff.

Depends whether you enjoy a good game of Russian Roulette, or not. If in doubt, swap it out.

If the discount in question is X plan, it really isn't all that big a deal. My limited experience with it was years ago when I was dating someone whose Dad was a line worker in Buffalo and qualified for X plan. She was looking for a new Aerostar van and went out several times looking, and was...

It'll be for the lifetime of the device, which more than likely will be short.

It did what was required. It beat walking.

We rented from them the last time we went to Florida (Tampa.) Ended up with them because that was the best price by far (and actually the only place that had cars available on the date we needed it.) We got there and they told us that the Mercedes we were supposed to have was out, but that they...

This. I'd assume that he would still be coming out way ahead, unless he spent 66K in raffle tickets.

I have a set on the Accord. They certainly aren't any worse than the $50./set Tricos that I had to put on the Pilot in a pinch, when the only thing around was an AAP. I'd even go so far as to say that they are very good, considering the price point. My issue with them is the attachment hardware...

Not sure that I see that as a "Midlife Crisis" vehicle, but everyone runs their own personal circus. However, as someone who has zero kids but has owned three minivans, the versatility of them can't be beat.

Or, a second opinion of the second vendor.

That's why the concept of "Second Opinions" was developed to deal with such situations as this.

I've had several: 1. A 1993 Chrysler Fifth avenue. Used a quart every 1500 miles from new. Get rid of it at 68K when the transmission went out and apparently could not be repaired properly under 7/70 warranty. 2. My first car, a 1968 Mercury Montego convertible. Used about a quart every 1500...

Things usually get real at that point.

The times that I have had that happen resulted in my purchasing a new wiper arm.

I think that I would be making a call to the AG's of your state consumer fraud division and put it on the record.

On that vehicle, absolutely. Make sure that it is a factory warranty and that it is comprehensive. There is a member on here that has had two of those used. He worked the warranty hard on both of the vehicles.

I figure that if I bought a vehicle, I bought it to use and put miles on. Renting a vehicle to keep miles off the one that I own seems illogical to me. Only reason that I could see for renting a vehicle would be for purpose (needing a van to haul a large # of people, for instance) or if the...

As well as Buick. I know of at least four Buick dealers within 50 miles of me that gave up their franchises, including one that is now GMC only.

Congratulations! Many positive benefits to retirement.

I'd say repair it or leave it at home.
