Re: Let's talk about cars

Our Tesla has a "Passenger Warning Module" that's located under the front splitter. It is pretty audible outside the car but from inside it's very hard to notice, not like I've ever actually tried to...

Re: Let's talk about cars

2019's use a belt (found this by looking for the part number although it sadly didn't show a 2020), I'd make an assumption that unless there were any major revisions then it's probably still a belt,...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I recently added a 2020 Subaru WRX STI to the collection, dealerships were absolutely desperate to shift things off the lot so got a killer deal. Still have the Raptor, recently had an A.R.E topper...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I think if it's 18 years or older it is either registration exempt or a one time fee, I can't remember the specifics.

But yeah, registering vehicles here sucks, especially having had a brief stint...

Re: Let's talk about cars

2018 Ford Raptor, they base it on weight, emissions, value all of which suck.

Wife's 4Runner was initially $800 for the first time plates and tag but renewal dropped to $640... Colorado sucks when...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Ha! My eyes are already burning at the thought of it.

Also reminds me I have to pay my delightful $1300 plate renewal before the end of the month. Thanks Colorado.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I do like the Trail Boss', great color choice too. I looked at one for a little before getting the Raptor, dealership couldn't find one in anything other than black so decided to look elsewhere, and...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The prices here seem to wildly from state to state for used cars. My first car here was a 2015 Volkswagen GTI. I knew exactly what spec/options I wanted and searched around Colorado for a good month...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Mostly for camping/hunting trips, I got two quotes for toppers for the Raptor, one from Leer for $3400 and one from ARE and that was $3200. This truck was $1200, I put new plugs, oil, filters,...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Looking to replace my wife's car at some point this year, have only heard good things about the CostCo program so will certainly be worth investing a little bit of time on to see if the price is any...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I can't say I've ever seen 0% on used.

I feel like every now and then they throw the term 0% around on ex-lease vehicles, but not explicitly 'used' ones as such.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Yeah, it definitely crossed my mind but at the end of the day, I could be dead tomorrow and I'm fortunate enough to be in a position to make a purchase along those lines.

I will be slightly...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I put down the maximum I could. Seemed more logical than having a bigger monthly payment.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I should’ve elaborated... I didn’t pay $80,000 for it, I managed to get it for $64,000. But a year ago, it was an $80,000 truck.

Re: Let's talk about cars

It’s funny as we make a $180 payment on a 7 year old Mini (we only have 9 months left on it) and a $460 payment on a $80,000 truck.

Goes to show the difference of credit score, we had pretty poor...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Horses for courses. I spent a lot of time in LA last year for work (not the occasional visit, at minimum a week a month for about 7 months). It’s not a bad place in theory. You couldn’t pay me to...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Move out of Commiefornia, problem solved. :p

That said, I'd imagine the registration costs for either of those vehicles in CA will also be astronomical.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Can confirm my truck is too wide to fit in a car wash... Only time it's actually been an issue. Slightly annoying as I didn't want to do it myself in -9C weather. :lol:

Re: Let's talk about cars

I don’t find mine wide at all when driving. The only time I notice it’s wide is when I parallel park on a slightly narrower than normal street.
