Thank You for taking the time to give me such detailed advice. This has been very stressful and these are all great points. I talked to the bank today and a lawyer. It’ll be interesting to see what happens especially with me being an employee. I’m worried they will retaliate against me. At least...
I was hoping that so I bought new ones and still no action in 7. I love the way this truck looks and keep going back and forth between replacing the engine or buying something else. I’ve just realized I can’t truly afford to own this car. There are so many things that are going bad or are bad...
I bought a 2015 GMC Yukon XL with 207k miles and drove it four times for less than 100 miles and the check engine light started flashing last Tuesday night. It was poring down rain and I was headed up about an incline on i75. The check engine light started flashing and I didn’t notice anything...
Thank You For Your Reply. I bought all the suspension components, Fluids (Diff, Transfer case, coolant, brake fluid), spark plugs and wires. I also bought a parking brake cable. So I had everything ready to go but my friend can’t do all the work I need until next Friday and Saturday. Last night...
Great advice and Thank You everyone. Im planning on going ahead with everything and hoping for the best. I need to remind myself that the vehicle has 200k mikes and I just need to fix the important items and realize how little bit of money this car will be compared to a new or Certified one.
I work as part of a big dealership group and we have a Chevy dealership 500 feet from the dealership I work at. I get 30% off most AC Delco parts so after shopping the pricing I get at work around on the internet I realized it’s a pretty good deal to get the parts through the dealership or at...
Thank You. I think that the truck “standing tall” with no leaks even with the miles might be worth $15,000 but even if I end up with $15,000 I hope I have a pretty solid truck. I can’t afford a $1500 to $2000 payment on a new one so I think this might be as good of a truck I can find for what I...
I wanted to get an suv that was under $ 25,000. I work at a car dealership and see lots of trade ins. I went ahead and bought Billstein 5100 struts and shocks today. I got AC decking for the strut mounts, insulators, boots, bumpers, and cups. I also ordered new sway bar links for front and rear...
Thank You for the reply. Carfax looked okay and I knew going in I’d have to spend 3 grand or more mechanically to make it right. Since I do have my other car I’m not going to rush into splurging money on it. If I be smart I’ll find a way to get that $3000 worth of items fixed for $1500. I just...
Thank You. I think I’m going to just take it to a Chevy or GMC dealer and have them quote me everything. Do what’s affordable and then for the big labor hour jobs I’ll pay my friend $50 an hour on the side But he’s a master bmw tech not GMC. I’ve realized you get what you pay for so I’m not...
I bought a 2015 Yukon XL SLT with 206k miles last week because I’ve been wanting to buy a cheap suv and this came in on trade at the dealership I work for last Saturday. I thought about it for a while and asked my boss if I could buy it for anywhere near what we paid on trade in. He sold it to...
