I’m not sure a 0% finance deal can ever be stupid. If someone will give me the cash for free, I will take it and do something else with my own money.

That's a great shame. Saved my ass many a time.
I think I rebuilt my BMW 2002 Tii Touring with the help of his book.

That said, I agree in practice and we found that paying $366/mth for 60 months, with nothing down for a new Accord was too attractive an offer to turn down.

They aren't giving you it for free though, they just jack up the price of the car to compensate. Companies never offer financing that they lose money on.

These Ford specs do not make sense. They state that the short-box F250 is 80" while the long-bed is 96" .

Re: Let's talk about cars
Like all things car buying, it depends on how close to end of the year, etc, you are. On average, no they don’t. What can be achieved individually in order for a dealer to achieve a unit target if you buy on 30th December? That’s another thing.

BTW the apparent reason it hadn't sold was that it has a manual transmission, which is exactly why we wanted it!

Yes , a typo, and as noted that is the bed length, not the width. I also noted that the HD Chevies are now as wide as the F250.

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.
Grand Tour episode on Friday was pretty damn good... I have a slight affection for the Fiat Hammond was driving

How wide is your truck? My F250 fits through a car wash with no problem, though I do fold the door mirrors flat against the doors before entering. …. Maybe you just need to find a wider car wash.

My Colorado went through there fine!

Re: Let's talk about cars
The larger number is usually the width with door mirrors (I think ), so I am going to assume that your Raptor has pretty wide wheel arch flares, meaning that the door mirrors don't add much to the overall width.
My F250 is 79.9" - 95.5", so the same body width as your Raptor, but with mirrors that stick out much further beyond the body/ wheel arches.
