    The dealer auctions are shocking the hell out of me.

    I was offered 30K bucks for my 2016 Tahoe LT [luxury package] with 110K miles. I am the original owner. Tempting but all service is up to date and I will have to lay out another 30K plus bucks to find another one like the one I have now. My Tahoe has been serviced every 5K miles with Mobil 1. It...

    What was your (reasonable) dream car as a teen?

    Cadillac Eldorado. Had a teacher in H.S. who had a 1968 Eldorado. He let me drive it before I had a driver license. Did not hear a thing in it with the windows closed. Ended up buying a used Coupe DeVille after I got my license. Made my long commute to work nice and comfy.

    What's a 2000+ Crown Victoria / Grand Marquis Worth Now?

    You might find a well maintained 1 driver take home CVPI or better yet a administrator CVPI. They are still some in service in my neck of the woods. Sometimes crownvic.net has some listed in their craigslist section. With that said I put 300K miles on a 2005 with no major issues.

    2011 CROWN VIC POLICE PKG. OIL NOT CHANGED IN MONTHS, REPORTED "ENGINE KNOCKING" ??

    Once fixed that would sell fast in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area. They love Black&Whites here. They love both....The CVPI and the PPV Tahoe. Especially if it has cold a/c and dark windows.

    Under The Window Package Terminal Hotel Air Conditioner/ Friedrich/Amana

    Two bedrooms. Still stays to warm with the doors closed. They should have put larger vents in the wall in the bedrooms when they built the place. Yes it is a seer of 10.

    1986 Town Car Cartier

    Had a 88 Town Car. Put 200K miles on it with no major issues. Bought it a year old with 14K miles as it was former 1 year lease car. Could have used more power but I was okay with it. Most owners did not realize it had 2 oil drains. It took the NYC potholes like a champ.

    If you buy a used vehicle and get ALL service records plus have it checked out by a independent or Mobile mechanic you should be okay for the most part. Did that with my sons 2013 PPV Tahoe. All is well at 200K miles. He bought it at 150K miles.

    Found a cream puff grandma's car

    My boss bought a cream puff grandma. Seems grandma never went on the highway and only drove around 25 MPH. First day on the highway he brought it up to 75 MPH on the way to work. The vehicle at the time was a 1994 Caprice. He lived 60 miles away from work. He blew the engine.

    What’s the ultimate road trip car?

    The ultimate road trip vehicle is the Chevrolet Suburban. Plenty of power and SAFE when your out on the highway surrounded by tractor trailers. Plus decent highway mileage on plain old 87 octane.
