    Article: How to prep your used vehicle for maximum value

    I have always spent money on a car I am selling. I bought an 08 Vette a couple years ago for $33500. I sold it for $37900. I put new tires on it.Took it to a dealer and asked them to go bumper to bumper and fix anything wrong. They found the oil pan was "weeping" a bit. I had them replace it...

    Pin Strips UGH

    Yeah. Did not soften the paint. Acetone is good for tough removals on a car. Been using it for years to remove adhesives ala clean up after removal of pin stripes ( As always I did test it on a small area first since this is tri coat paint

    Pin Strips UGH

    What is it with distributors and/or dealers putting on Pin Stripes? $199 LOL That option belongs in the 70s. Even on a new vehicle, it is tough to remove and nearly impossible without buffing machines to remove them after a few years. Taking the Pin Stripes off in the sun was fairly easy...

    I really don't understand the 4Runner's engine/tranmission situation.

    My Stock Limited does not do as well as the SR5 I had. Probably due to the 20" tires. Even hypermiling I get 20 AVG. I bought a Fiat 124 for the milk and bread runs......More fun anyway

    Waze - Sound over bluetooth?

    I like Waze for traffic and police information. Not so much for directions. I find the built in NAV is very usable WITH Waze as well. Sometimes their routes are different though.

    Extended Warranty

    Picking up a 2WD Limited when it arrives on the 20th. What would be the cost of the ESC? Thanks Toyota Care, They don't sell that in the SE. They sell Fidelity which is owned by the Moran family who owns the South East Distributorship. That's why I always bought the Toyota Contract from out of...

    Just traded my 2016 SR5 for 2017 Limited

    After I traded my troubled 16 Tacoma for a 2016 SR5 Premium I decided I liked the 4Runner enough to buy a new Limited, Basically, it cost me $8700 to go from my 16 SR5P to a new Blizzard Pearl Limited. Both 2WD (no need for 4WD here in Myrtle Beach) I had to order one to get what I wanted and...

    Why do threads get closed in the 5th gen section?

    Also when someone does a search and comes up with an old thread, they get chastised for bringing up a necro thread, Cannot win either way. My thoughts are to create a new thread for a new vehicle and not dig up old threads that does not pertain wholly and are full of shit stirring comments...
