I use a combination of whatever is on sale or convenient for me to go buy. If I'm at Costco and remember to buy a case of oil, I'll buy it there. I live 20 minutes from Costco so I won't go there just for oil. But Walmart is 7 minutes down the street and they have oil filters.

Interesting! I might be going to the Purolator for my next change. I live in a hot and dusty climate, typically see over 100 straight days over 90 degrees here in the desert and road trip from El Paso to central Florida once a month.

Yep. Most of the time when you ask people where they fuel up, they'll reply, "whatever's cheapest."

He wanted to keep it secret so we don't buy gas from there as well.

That's my pet peeve with Discount Tire as well.

This debate has turned almost as hot as: 9mm vs .45 ACP Lennon vs McCartney Can I switch between dino and synthetic?

Oh yeah, in addition to the awful Costco gas & Kirkland oil I put in my car and the spoiled meat and vegetables I eat from Costco, my car is also a rebuild. Somehow, since putting on 27,000 miles since August 2021, it hasn't exploded or fallen apart on me and I haven't died of food poisoning...

Last 2 oil changes I've done were at 7,764 and 8,290 miles using Kirkland oil and I use Costco gas. Somehow my car hasn't blown up. I also do my grocery shopping there and somehow I haven't gotten food poisoning or died. I must be a miracle.

We have bought 3 new Hyundai/Kia vehicles: 2011 Kia Forte Koupe 2013 Hyundai Tucson 2014 Kia Sportage Forte was a decent car, got great mileage. Ended up trading it in for the Sportage. Tucson was a decent car, too. Very similar to the Sportage but the Tucson was more refined, IMO. The Tucson...

Wife compared the Limited with the XLE as did I. We do not believe the extra $3,200 is worth it in getting the Limited so we are going with the XLE. Sales manager was very aggressive in trying to get us to buy today. Told us that December is a tough time to buy a car. Yeah right. LOL. More like...

Originally Posted By: JHZR2 On the flip side, back to my original post, for that sort of money, you might look at the Lexus RX. An RX FWD (I note youre in TX, so AWD may not be necessary for you) has an MSRP of $43xxx, so you could likely haggle down a siimilar deal on a more upscale car with a...

Originally Posted By: SatinSilver Yes, price went up 1k and you could realize an additional savings of $1k since the newer year model is out. Which equals about 2k less than a comparable 2017 model. Yes but getting the safety package would probably cost another $1k on the 2016. Plus the 8...

Originally Posted By: SatinSilver I wouldn't rule out the 2016 which could save you an additional $2k or so. Plus they look the same. The front is different so it doesn't look the same. Outside of looks, the '17 is getting more HP/TQ and better mileage along with standard safety features that...

Originally Posted By: rooflessVW Seems like a good deal to me. If you like the car, buy it. I'll never understand traveling to dealers all over or driving hours to save a few hundred bucks. Isn't your time worth something? Mine is. Understand theirs is too. If you're looking for certain options...

Originally Posted By: SatinSilver Also an XLE V6 is a good $3k less expensive and still comes with leather interior. I'm trying to see what big differences there are between the XLE and the Limited. Saving $3k wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

I can't edit the original post but the price that USAA quoted me was plus tax whereas the dealership price was tax included. Originally Posted By: crazyoildude $43,031 for a Toyota? I would shop around. People pay $100k for a Chevy. What's your point?

Before I get into the advice I'm seeking, we are strictly looking at the 2017 because of the new standard safety features, 8 speed (old one was 6 speed) automatic transmission and direct injection motor. The combination of engine and transmission gives it an extra 25 HP and 15 ft. lbs. of torque...

Friend moved back home but left her car here for work when she comes in once a month for 3-4 days. El Paso, TX so that gives you an idea of the weather. Was thinking about about going with Mobil 1 extended performance oil with a M1 filter. Car will sit for days and maybe weeks at a time...

They have always given us problems, especially when the temperature drops suddenly. Plate inside the door says 34 so I check and the tires are at 34. Spare is filled to spec as well. Light comes in, flashes and then stays on after I start the car. From my research that means the sensor is...

I used to use it. Seemed to be a good product to me. But now I do not, it's not worth it. The MLM scheme has turned me away as well. If they took away the multiple commissions, they could drop the price and get themselves out there more. Not really sure why some guy gets a cut from me buying...
