    Needing new shocks/struts for 2014 Yaris

    Haha, could just be Yaris ride quality... but they are pretty rusty, bordering on rot, and they should be replaced.

    Yaris brake shim question

    Should I remove them? Since I put 2 of them top and bottom on all 4 pads? @FowVay yes thanks, they appear to be the noise makers.

    Yaris brake shim question

    I replaced a seized caliper on my Yaris and when installing the new caliper, pads, etc. I had double of all the disc brake hardware. I ended up using 8 of these little clips on top and bottom of all 4 pads. I noted the pads were pretty tight and hard to move within the caliper but everything...

    Needing new shocks/struts for 2014 Yaris

    My 2014 Yaris ride quality is not too good, it's 10 years old with 55k and on the original shocks and struts. I'm in the rust belt and they do not appear to be leaking, but the bracing and some parts of them are getting seriously rusty and need replacement based on that alone. What's out there...

    Anybody know about "Xtended Auto" used car warranty?

    I'm planning on buying a relatively unreliable used car that is in OK condition now but is notorious for developing leaks on a super annoying to replace engine oil related seals/gaskets. The warranty seems to explicitly cover seals and gaskets on the engine. It's $500 with the purchase of the...

    Buying a 2011 Caddy DTS with 19k miles - bad idea?

    That's probably the better value but I'm looking for something I can daily for several years more. I've seen some in the 30-60k mile range that are several G's less than the 17k mile car's price. I've looked at quite a few sub 100k mile DTS models near me for under $10k, and they are all not so...

    Buying a 2011 Caddy DTS with 19k miles - bad idea?

    For real. Dealership would not budge on the price at all, which was unexpected for a used car and the type of dealership. No way am I gonna spend that money on a DTS. They are a commodity, not a collector car.

    Buying a 2011 Caddy DTS with 19k miles - bad idea?

    Beautiful caddy! But they're finnicky enough where I would never buy one sight unseen. I've been burned driving from Mass to Ohio or Deleware on "great condition" cars from Craigslist that I'm keeping it local for now.

    Selling A Car - Carvana Etc.

    You will get way less if you trade it in or sell it to a car buying business/dealer/Carmax/Carvana. Yes, they are very easy and convenient but you will get much less than selling it private party. I doubt these dealers would give you much at all. Sell it on Facebook Marketplace, but you will...

    Buying a 2011 Caddy DTS with 19k miles - bad idea?

    Checked it out today. Meh... horn doesn't work, vibration at highway speeds and seems like there was a minor fender bender where the front quarter panel and door do not meet up right. This was being sold at a major area Lexus dealership for top dollar and they have no flexibility on price. No...

    Buying a 2011 Caddy DTS with 19k miles - bad idea?

    See one for sale near me for $17k in NY. Thing looks like it is from the showroom. I need a new car and have owned Crown Vics and Lincoln Town Cars, and my heart is set on a V8 4 door, large sedan. I really don't like the looks of anything but the Devilles, DTS and Ford Panther Platform. I...

    Cadillac DTS vs Lincoln Town Car

    Hey all. I've had two Panther Platform cars and my most recent one just got totaled with only 90k on it. I've looked at half a dozen very low mileage Town Cars all across the country. I had a week off from work and drove about 3000 miles looking at some from Facebook marketplace. They were...

    Cut open SuperTech, ACDelco, Wix and Purolator for GM 5.3

    NOT my work, but a member on another forum I browse posted this in a oil change threat. Just for reference, I'll share it here. Interesting to note is that the ST is appx $5 cheaper according to the OP, and has a silicone ADBV with similar or identical filter element.

    Fair price for 2015 Tundra with 150k?

    Asking for a family member who's considering buying a 2015 Tundra CrewMax Platinum 5.7L with 150k. Truck was from down south and is spotless underneath. Has 150k miles and is in overall very good condition with new tires and brakes. Personally I would not spend that kind of money on a 150k mi...

    Anyone with thoughts on the FPIS/ Taurus interceptor?

    One thing I noticed looking into a vehicle that was previously a police car, is that sometimes the departments or services that remove the lights, sirens, and other electronics appear to do a sketchy job. Ripping stuff out, simply snipping wires, etc. I've seen a few for sale even from...
