Conti's will look just a tad bit smaller... ask me how I know. The Conti's were good tires but it bugged me that there was a slight size difference.. I recall there being a thread or two on here somewhere about this topic.

I hear you and like your perspective. Being decent/kind is part of the equation for sure and it works both ways. Personally, I just like clarity each step of the way in these types of transactions. I expect the dealership to make money, just not in a ridiculous way off of me. The best car deal I...

If I were in the market to buy a car from a dealership today, I would negotiate the out the door sale price first without initially disclosing if I was going to do a trade-in or finance with them. If I was generally satisfied with the out the door price (and if I made it that far because dealers...

That's what I do (I'd need to go out and look at exact times) it's like 1159pm to 1158pm programmed to start in quiet mode. Then when out of my neighborhood bump up the exhaust to suit my mood. Sometimes when I'm feeling obnoxious I will take it out of programmed quiet start mode when out and...

Bro, good for you to not taking a bad deal. The dealer loan buy rate was no doubt much lower than 14% which means they were looking to make serious money on your loan. Plus, $45k for your Mach was way low and I surmise that they were banking on the excitement factor of obtaining a 350 to play...

For me and the Mustang, top tier (Chevron/76/Shell/Valero etc.). When travelling in the RV, same but include Mavrick, Phillips, Sinclair. Then, if in the middle of nowhere, more flexible but avoid at all costs the 80 year old mom and pop single pump. Some national parks have their own gas...

If I were in the market to purchase a used Mustang, I would (and have twice before) look for: Body paint condition (signs of undocumented paint/body work) including panel alignment. Careful here for sure. Low mileage, for me that's 6k or less but would consider higher depending on the car...

I think that when Ford designed the current version of Mach 1 they walked right up to the line of too much (decals) then took one small step backwards and decided that was good. And I am inclined to agree. I am not a big decal/graphics guy but for the Mach, it seems to work and Ford did not push...

That's the thing too; one can buy a used 550 for a very reasonable price, add a few goodies, and be happy motoring down the interstate for a fraction of a C8 $. I have not driven a C8 and if I did, I surmise I would like the performance. But not the appearance. It is good to know that I am not...

Previous gen Corvettes get my attention. Like whiplash attention. A few years ago I was at a Ford dealer getting an oil change on my 21 Mach 1 (last car before I "upgraded"). I had just got it and was quite happy. Then I saw a 19 Corvette on the used car portion of the lot. It was low miles...

Thank you for your response! I was looking at a 24 C8 LT2 (or 2LT I can't remember what they call it) it was like a cement grey, super well equipped, around $75k, low miles, relatively nearby, and while I am not in the market per se (I just like to "shop" as in window shop) I just couldn't get...

So here I am on a Saturday evening looking at cars for sale on Carfax. Hard to believe the GT350 ceased being built 6 years ago! GT500 4 years ago. Mach 1, 3 years ago.... I'm still not on board with the Dark Horse. So, I started looking at '24-'26 C8 Corvettes... No doubt the Corvettes perform...

A 70-73 inspired 2027 Camaro might event motivate Dodge to go back to the drawing board....

Oooh, is that a Toyota Tundra in the background? 🤣

Well, I'll say this; the times that I'm pumping gas beside a busy road and off in the distance I hear an approaching GT350 (yes, hear), I start to get all geeked out as it drives past because that car just does it for me! That said; if I was in the market for a GT350 today without concern for...

Yep yep.. I agree with you. Heck, if you are 25 and own a Mach 1 AND are focusing on investing too I would say you are doing it right!

For me, Mach 1 = performance, appearance and Coyote engine reliability. Dark Horse = modern (i.e. updated) tech and mechanical which is good but looks, including dash, not quite so much. GT350, has that "OMG" factor... Still has it 6 years since production stopped. But landing one now with...

Well, this is what I'm finding too, that State Farm is providing the best rate for my circumstances (boatload of vehicles needing coverage). I thought about trying AAA but I surmise they won't be much less and their service levels may not be as good as SF.

This is what I'm thinking is that they (Progressive Drive) are offering a low rate initially then I will be hit with an increase in a year. It is just really weird to me that Progressive (Drive) is so much less than everyone else. I checked with Farmers and they are way more than what I have...

Ok, thank you. New to the broker thing and I kept their fees in the back of my mind re the quotes they offered and company options. Sales is sales and the brokers will make money and I'm feeling like they know what client situations will be profitable for them. It may be they could actually...
