apuszczalowski Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 I agree on the Chrysler/Jeep thing. The Caliber, I think, is the same as the Jeep Patriot... Actually, I like the styling on the Caliber better... Patriot looks to clunky with its trim... And I could NEVER drive a ride with the name of the Bills sworn enemy! ;-) Do Caddy's even come in standard? Huh?? Wouldn't it come in "autostick" or something?? What I am saying... Are there new Caddy's out there with manual clutches and sticks? :-O The Caliber is similar to the Compass (looks kinda like a mini 4-door station wagon). Its what Dodge replaced teh Neon with, and its now been replaced by the new Dart I really love 3 different types of autos. Sports cars- who doesn't love or want one? Full size pickups- love the usage factor in them. They make you feel badass. Sport Sedan- easily able to hide the power and excitement of a sports car with the simple sedan look. Although my car isn't really a sleeper, it is a sports sedan. Eventually, of like to own 3 autos. One of each. Something to play with any time of year for any occasion. In my dream world, if live to keeps car, buy a new F150 FX4 or Ram1500, and a 99-10 convertible Mustang (again).aybe add in an old Ford Bronco for a tailgate and plow vehicle for the winter. So you seem like a Dodge man. Any major issues with any if them that I should look out for if I decide on a Ram at some point? Never had a Ram before so I don't know, but I love the Dakotas, always been reliable for me, they do start to rust on the box side wheel wells and fenders. I use mine all the time for working around the house
MarkyMannn Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Just some information for anyone looking. Basil Chevy in Depew/Cheektowaga will be having a major blowout on all inventory. My cousin who works there informed me up to $10K off on many vehicles. Informed me personally of a 2012 Chevy Silverado LTZ, normally $41k, available for $31k. Basil has low integrity. Here is how they got to that price Vehicle price $41k Discounts 1 thru 5 of $1k each, if you qualify, gets you $5k off Down payment of $5k Final price $31k
mrags Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 Basil has low integrity. Here is how they got to that price Vehicle price $41k Discounts 1 thru 5 of $1k each, if you qualify, gets you $5k off Down payment of $5k Final price $31k well. My cousin works there and I can assure you that they were 10k off sticker. She wouldn't have contacted me about this deal if it meant I would have had to fork over 5k. With that said, Yes, Basil is a bunch of Shady MotherF#%KERS!!! They burned me in a car before. My Alero, used was a POS. I actually ran into the sales guy about 2 years after I bought it at a bar where I worked. He remembered me and remembered the car and had a laugh about it. Said he felt bad after because he knew he sold me a POS that had problems. Then asked what I did with it. I told him I still owned it, he then gave me a card for the place where he worked at that time. Yeah, like I'd ever buy another car from him. !@#$!!!
inkman Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 That's why I never lease. I want to be able to drive my car without worrying I'm going over the limit. My commute to work is 3.5 miles. I live 1 mile from Wegmans, 5 miles from the Mall. All my family and in laws live within 4 miles. I just don't have a lot of miles to drive.
Helpmenow Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Been telling my step daughter about leasing as well. Her drive is like three miles in san diego (school teacher). They went out a bought a toyota fourrunner

Helpmenow Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Eastlake area( chula vista) not really san diego, close enough, i guess. Lived out there for six years. Love to come back Edited December 31, 2012 by roush
Mr_Blizzard Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 I drive an '01 Acura Integra GS-R that has like a kazillion miles on it. Still runs great but it doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles that the newer Acuras have. Thinking TSX for my next vehicle, which will probably be a year or so away.
Helpmenow Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Cant get over the tl front beak. The new one better than the 2009-2011
mrags Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 I just googled the new TL. I like it much more personally. Looks good.
Helpmenow Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 They have changed the size of the beak/chrome section. Take another look at it, the previous models used only a five speed auto as well. The 3.7 SH-AWD uses a manual tranny too

The 3.7 SH-AWD uses a manual tranny too i used to live everything about the old ones except the oversized beak on that thing. It was like a shield it was so big. I just thought it was very big and over done.
Dante Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 2009 Ford Edge. Boring but practical. No problems at 50,000 miles
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 2009 Ford Edge. Boring but practical. No problems at 50,000 miles I drive a 2003 Honda Element so I know well the feeling of driving a babe magnet.
mrags Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 I drive a 2003 Honda Element so I know well the feeling of driving a babe magnet. in all fairness, a Ford Edge is about 1,000x sexier than an Element. Bit then again, you don't have a payment so the expensive dinners, gifts, and personal belongings that you can afford make up for your lack of automobile sexiness.

If there was such a thing as female robots, I'd be a very popular guy.
