Exactly. It's a great advertisement that they will buy your car although what they give for it is very low. It will be less than wholesale and/or even less than what comparable dealers will give you for the car. There are so many terms to confuse people- Blue Book, Black Book, instant cash...

Where is the sound tube? I'll yank it out, perhaps it's easy to do and solves the problem.

I changed the oil at 3K, now I have 5400 miles on it. I called the dealer and spoke with the service manager. He said 3 other guys complained about the same thing, they listened to their cars and found the noise normal. Said it is valve train noise and is magnified from the sound tube piped...

My 2018 GT is making a clattering noise- which I initially thought was the “piston slap” and it was occurring only when cold, then went away. Now my car is doing it all the time- only it’s very loud when cold and when warmed up you can still hear it clearly but not as loud. The noise sounds...

Brand new car in Massachusetts will have a super high excise tax bill the first year, then it goes down every year. Pluses and minuses to wherever you live. I moved the FL to get away from the cold and snow from Massachusetts and love the weather, there is no excise tax or income tax.......BUT...

Mine rattles all the time now too at the same 2.5K RPM. It's just way louder when the engine is cold. But it runs great so until something more major happens or sounds worse going to assume it's normal.

No for me. I have owned manuals in all my sporty cars except for one- my 2017 Camaro RS. For the very first time I decided to go with the 8 speed automatic. I thought wow, all those gears, performance, fuel economy, no more shifting, what can be or go wrong? Big mistake- I choose probably...

Good post, I was wondering after my first oil change that the reading was in between the 2 marks after installing in 10 quarts, running it for a few minutes and checking the oil. Even after it is hot and I check the level it is in between the 2 marks- no difference.

I have an 18 with 5K miles on it and have both the tick and rattle. No other issues with the car at all other than this. I think it is too early to tell whether or not it is a problem. Some have the tick and rattle some do not. I would ask to test drive the car from a cold start and...

I like Hondas and the Type R is a very nice car- except for yes, that crazy wing. Hondas are bullet proof reliable- I have owned many and never once had they made funny sounds or had any defects. No I would not buy one today- way over priced with ADM. I bought a new base GT instead for over...

Nice! And I thought I had a good collection- yours bests mine!

I so agree that the car needs nothing. Many want to add mods- lowering, super chargers- it's fine, to each his or her own. But to me the car is fine as it is and so not like my Fiestas ST or a 4 cylinder car, which I want to add power with intakes, exhaust, larger intercooler, etc- which adds...

I am with you guys on the shifting, it is very much like my past 2016 Miata ND. Very precise rifle bolt and short throws- love it. It is one of the main reasons I bought the car. Hopefully you do not get the tick/rattle. Mine came even before I changed the oil. I am not even sure when I...

I got the easier solution. I have a very cheap set of plastic drive up ramps- the angle is of course way too steep to drive up on. I simply jack the car up the front high enough to slide the ramps under wheels, then lower it. I even face them back wards towards the front of the car to give me...

I always monitor my tire wear- view the tires every two weeks or so- and especially when I rotate them to make sure the pressure I am running is wearing them evenly. Most people under inflate and you can see the edges wearing more than the center. Tire pressure depends on the tires, wheels...

Yes Florida has no salt but a brutal sun that literally burns paint off of cars. But still I would take Florida over the salt belt and is the reason I moved here as I love cars and the Mustang with RWD is perfect all year round! I paid my dues though and lived most of my life in Massachusetts...

Man that really sucks and not good to hear. I know the frustration of waiting and not having your car you either paid for or are making payments on. I dumped my Camaro, got so frustrated over the transmission issues and the car being at the dealer a month. I'd keep after them or go to the...

What does it actually do to get rid of the tick- provide extra lubrication? Does using it void the warranty? Do you need to add it with every oil change?

Don't ever do a sun roof on a car- even if you can or there is room, etc. Get a car with one installed from the factory if you must have one. Why? I love sunroofs too. I bought a brand new Mazdaspeed 3 back in 2011. The car did not come with a sunroof, so I had one professionally added...

Glad you are OK and the car is getting fixed. RWD, high performance cars and rain, wet roads do not mix well. The back end can become very skittish. Best to take it slow and easy- in any car but especially RWD. I love my high performance cars but drive them slow and easy, very easy on the...
