  1. That's roughly how much I've saved on 5 vehicles that I kept 2-4 years after the 3/36 warranty expired by not buying an extended warranty. I could replace an engine tomorrow and still be $4K ahead.
  2. Not sure if it's climate or roads or the way we drive but we never get more than 25K out of passenger car tires and 35K from crossover tires. Personally I would not want to drive on tires with rubber so hard they last 60K or 80K.
  3. In my case it feels better to save over $8K by never buying one in the first place. YMMV.
  4. You don't really sync the car, you just sync your phone or mp3 player or usb stick so that it knows what songs you have for voice recognition and to display on the browse menu. This normally only takes a few minutes after you first plug it in.
  5. You don't have to change them, just loosen and retighten.
  6. Like I said, it usually takes them a day or two to put the new rebates on the website after the old ones expire.
  7. It wasn't really feasible at $2K+ but for $600 I think a lot of folks would do it.
  8. It's already included in the X plan price either way so it should never show up on the buyer's order. But in the past it was always shown as a separate line item on the dealer invoice along with the fuel fee. In the past this made it hard to use the internet to get an accurate dealer invoice price and because the FDAF fee varied from vehicle to vehicle, region to region, which is why it wasn't included in online dealer invoice pricing sites. Hopefully they stopped doing it and just included a standard fee on all vehicles as part of the base price.
  9. Grab the left rear cargo panel and pull. From what I remember it just pops off. I didn't have to remove it completely - just enough to access the wire on the back of the outlet. Note this is on a MKX - I'm assuming the Edge is similar.
  10. That feature doesn't even work with iphones, so Siri eyes free (or Carplay) is the only option. Siri Eyes Free works great.
  11. Sometimes it takes a day or so for the new rebates to appear. Check with a dealer to be sure.
  12. Interesting that there is no FDAF (Regional advertising) on that invoice. Have they stopped listing it separately?
  13. That's not a good analogy. You don't load software on a DVD or register it. A better analogy would be a smartphone that someone had taken home, activated and used it.
  14. I think we'll just call this one done before it gets really nasty.
  15. Even without misfires you don't want to leave them in for 100K.
  16. Let's knock off the back and forth. Xtra - the criticism is well warranted. Please post prices and some kind of test results and leave it at that.
  17. Soda pop? Damn yankees.......probably prefer Pepsi to Coke too......silly people...
  18. By hard reset I meant force the phone to reboot, not a complete reload.
