I would guess 4 mpg @ 70 mph. That thing is huge and a 440 Mopar engine is not a sipper.

The gas is probably your biggest potential problem. After you get it running fill the tank and see how it drives. Change the oil and filter after about 20 miles and try the AC to make sure it blows cold. Do the transmission and see if everything works. There are lots of vehicles, boats, and...

80 is nothing in South Dakota. I pull my boat frequently with my truck at 80mph and have never had a problem. This is on the interstate only where the speed limit is 80 mph. Around here you get run over if you drive any less than that.

I would go with a Toyota Avalon. Hybrid or gas both would be ok.

I would have the dealer repair the damage before purchasing. You can make sure its done right instead of buying the car first and repairing later. The repair would be a one day job no big deal. Personally, I have never pay for rust prevention and if rust starts it's usually time for me to...

It sounds expensive to repair and a 2013 is not getting any newer. I don't know much about Mercedes however I would go for more of a boring cookie cutter car rather than risk breaking the bank on repairs. It's 9 years old x 15,000 miles per year. I don't like sounding like a Debbie Downer but...

Awesome thanks for reporting results!

2012 Honda Civic sedan 1.8 engine. 3.8 Quarts of Valvoline synthetic oil with a Mobil 1 Extended Performance filter. Car uses no oil in between changes of approximately 5,000 miles. OLM was at 40%. Car has 101,600 miles on it.

Harmonic balancer on a 2005 Corvette. Suspension parts have to come off and re-align the front end. I didn't do the job but I know its a PITA.

My beater is my 2012 Honda Civic. It's still in great shape and takes the everyday beatings that would otherwise be assaulted on my F-150 or my Corvette. I don't get too upset over a ding and have PDR tools in case I do get a ding. I have the unlimited automatic car wash sticker on it and it...

A lot of people would buy that truck if you get it in running condition. An engine would be very easy to install in that truck since there is so much room to work on it. Some people like the simplicity of a slant six and an automatic transmission. I had a slant six in a Dodge Aspen and it had...

I would run it 2000 miles and change it. I believe you will notice the oil is a darker color than it would be with a full synthetic. I had a quick lube place change the oil in a 99 Ford Expedition I owned and I could tell later on the oil was darker than normal. I have to believe they put a...

Looks great. I had an 03 Toyota Corolla many years ago and sold it with 225,000 miles and it ran like new. They were all highway miles. Your days work gave you another 100,000 miles out of that car with regular maintenance. The car looks very nice. I don't think the internals look too bad...

If I could read Chinese or Japanese I could tell you what kind it is.

I like the fact that you are showing pride and taking care of an older higher mileage vehicle. Most people start to short the vehicle on maintenance just because it is getting old and they don't care. It's nice that you are taking good care of it and I believe that is how you get very high...

Wow! Yes, I agree it's not worth going on long OCI's if everything else in the engine is sacrificed. I believe in changing way before the OLM system tells me to. I like to go about 50% if it takes a year to get there. Thanks for sharing the info.

They look for the yellow grease mark that states how much oil to install with filter. LOL! That's what the old folks do and it works quite well.

Looks great! Those PDR guys are really good. I had a new Honda Accord that had serious hail damage on it and after the PDR you could not even notice it had been a previously hailed on.

I purchased a car one time with deep scratches on the windshield and nothing would repair it. I just replaced it. Lesson learned.

All I can say is the new vehicles have lots of electronics and I have seen many times where a simple stop and restart will fix everything. I hope it's ok in the future.
