Without a doubt . As a group , they put this group on the trailer . Its funny , nobodies mentioned a clear and demonstrated winner with large numbers to prove it in the generic sedan class . That of course , would be the Crown Vic , many of whom go past 2x+ this number in really severe...

How 'bout Rear Admiral Paul (with the ) Park Avenue or RAPPA for short ? .... Well .... alright...... whatever . Seriously , glad to here it worked out to your satisfaction . I've been watching some of the anniversary (Katrina) programming ............. I GUESS I better ....... stop...

Deutschland - pretty much covers it .

Yep on the distilled - really on everything with anything that doesn't specifically preclude it . Good shops usually have a maintained deionizer - still not what I want esp. if the OEM calls for distilled . It is a superior coolant - your contact metal surfaces run something like 12 -15 degrees...

SuperEd73 , that sounds like a fun car to have - any more details ? Always thought highly of that year and that engine . Well, I'm digressing . As to the other yes , you are on the right track as is dwendt44's first post - thats definitely part of it - although on this one I think those rules...

You know Paul , while a 'lack of maintenance' , or even 'benign neglect' , ( or a leak for that matter ) , - can be the cause of a 'low bottle' I've been noticing more and more that it can also be a 'sign' of a recently done flush . It just seems that taking the time to bleed out a system...

I do and how close Chrysler came to producing a more conventional 2 stroke and ..... Largely agree with your observations here - esp size and weight and if you will , size and weight choices . However , as unlikely as it sounds in terms of feasibility , if you can make (the big ) pigs fly...

Benzadmiral , Just an FYI almost offtopic at this point , on the vin codes - said I would so I will . Buick (3.8L V6 ) Series III 8TH DIGIT VIN CODES are '2' for RPO CODE L26 ( normally aspirated ) and I think almost for certian , '4' for the supercharged RPO CODE L32 . This means and I...

Critic , I just reread everything on the link you provided . My question to you is 'where is the contradiction' by Toyota ? BTW , For those that are interested and can read , within the link there is a section covering a Toyota provided simple estimate of the cost of a simple battery...

Hello Benzadmiral , My apologies for a very late reply . Not long after I posted last , 'things' in several locations started snowballing the wrong way and I've been 'off bitog' until now . So in no particular order ; 1.) Yes , 'total avoidance' means a Series III ( RPO CODE = L26 - VIN CODE...

Ok Benzadmiral , Just a couple of general observations and some information to support your efforts here . 1.) If you ( doesn't bother me in the least ) want avoid even the possibility of a 'higher than normal' 'xyz gasket problem potential' on a 3800 in the years you are considering then 'one...

Critic , Somehow this discussion is missing some things concerning price . Also , things like looking up data on recalls , tsbs , campaignes , and owner feedback . Of course , there is just the most basic information , ie open information on the 'net . Here is just two things your friend may...

Boy , Is this one I'd really like to know about - in practical terms . Char Baby , thanks for bringing it up . Part of what I do (when able) is work with various volunteer groups . Within that activity , 'we' have the activity of trying to 'square away' or 'make better' not just primary...

Well Benzadmiral , that Katrina thing and your last two posts might explain a few things - I can imagine under any number of scenarios none of that is helping them or you . They maybe doing the best they can , and then again they maybe more than a little 'weak' - don't want to judge - I'm not...

Critic , In the general case this is not true , as there are very differing 'preferences' in different parts of the country for which information providers are preferred and used . In the specific case , it maybe correct or may not , - same with regards to KBB and the others - it 'depends' ...

There are many possibilities , but assuming the best , they ended up however it happened , either with no offers , or none that they would take , - which means its likely they are in it for too much now . Here is some stuff that might help a little indirectly . Currently , there is a...

Benzadmiral , Do not use KBB unless you 'know how to 'adjust ' for your ' right now - local' market conditions - its a 'guide' not an absolute . This is why TMV at Edmunds tends to be lower - its trying to do the 'correcting' for you . Its old data , but it probably hasn't changed that much...

Are you sure that isn't a 3.6L ? I 'think' thats been the only way they come .

Appears that a Buick with a Buick Dealership 'behind it' could be a very good thing , - or really , if you start putting all these surveys together , as good as it can get . ( As always , depends on the specifics , YMMV .) J.D. Power and Associates Reports Jaguar Ranks Highest in Customer...
