I did it through my credit union and it was significantly lower. Dealer was somewhere at 6% and I got it for 1.9% through my CUAnyone finance the car through your own bank instead of the dealer? Did you guys get a good rate in comparison? My dad has never done that before, but he is contemplating it on his next car.

I think Im gonna see if Bank of America can give us a good rate. Our past cars were financed through them (via the dealer) and we have had an account.

Oh damn, that's a really good rate. Right now all I am seeing is 3.25-4% at best.

So I'm gearing up for a new car at the end of next year/ early 2021 and I'm already indecisive. Lol. I really want a Type R but the Golf R with its awd is also in that range. Or i could go cheaper and buy another GTI, currently own a mk6. As much as I enjoy driving stick, I'd probably end up getting the VDubs with DSG. The thing is since I work at a Dealership and the owner also owns a VW dealer and im really good friends with his son, i Can get a sweet deal on either the GTI or Golf R. Lol.

Under 40k. Not the biggest fan of sedans. I'm a hatchback kinda guy but the GLI is really cool finally matching the current GTI.What's your budget? I hear that there are some ridiculous incentives on the new GLI.
Also, rando question, is it a thing to roll with your front radiator exposed now? I've seen a couple older STIs and older Supra
around here driving like that and was unsure it's thats a thing now?
Oof, nice! Haces Uber? 😂

I use Finish Spray Exterior (Fse) from a german brand called Koch chemie. It is slightly acidic QD which removes even dried water spots in a spray on/wipe off manner. It's great for household chores, too.
No Idea if it is available in your area, though.
Edit: Another Idea would be to use a a dedicated paint precleaner after a thorough wash such as Prima Amigo or Lime Prime, but that would be way more effort.
ty gentlemen. will look into these both today.
Well I did it. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, I have passion again.
That seems weird, given they already had introduced V-Sport as a thing, and even the CTS V-Sport actually had more power than these, at 420hp . This whole renaming thing is a mess. Spend 3 generations building up the CTS and CTS-V name to abandon it.From Reddit: Looks like they're replacing the V badge with something else for higher performance models.
CT5-V - 355hp/400lb
C43 - 390hp/394lb
M340 - 382hp/369lb
S4 - 349hp/369lb
CT4-V - 320hp/369lb
A35 - 302hp/295lb
M240 - 335hp/369lb
S3 - 288hp/280lb
I'd even go see what military credit unions are available. Often times with a one time donation to the union you get military pricing on auto loans which can be 3% or lower IME.
What color is yours?
So my G37 was having issues starting last week. Replaced battery and it's as good as new. Until today. Whole car is dead. No lights or electronics what so ever .
Alternator issue?
What color is yours?
I'm getting Record Monza exhaust installed today.
Really wish they had made more 1M series. By the 240i is a great car. CongratsWell, it happened.
Signed a lease for this 2018 M240i
I'm a little crazy, I live in NorCal and this was in Santa Ana. I woke up, rented a Corolla, and drove down at 7am.
Got to SoCal, did the deed, and then left to drive back. So over 13 hours of driving in one day, but man...it's worth it. When driving back up, if you've ever made the drive from northern California to SoCal or vice versa, you've probably driven on the 152 Pacheco Pass. I happened to be on that road at midnight when it was empty...I drove like a bad man, and it felt amazing in this car. This is the most powerful car I've ever owned and driven for an extended period of time. It's pure bliss!
I just got the record Monza exhaust installed today.Red. I've got the Mazda. I posted about it a few pages back.
Bought it in april. Love it!
With that name pretty sure you're required to!
No, it grumbles up to 4K RPM, but it doesn't drone, and it's not obnoxiously loud. It sounds like a Maserati JR.nice, i like the sound of the mazda exhaust but i know the 124 is even better, and that's BEFORE the optional exhaust. Is it like, fuck-you loud?
Really wish they had made more 1M series. By the 240i is a great car. Congrats
Need your guys opinion... which of these two colors do you like better? Keep in mind it would be for RLine edition I cant find anything on the TCross PAle copper RLine edition videos and stuff which I think makes a decent difference on the look of the car (Its the two choices Im deciding between for my new VW T Cross)
Pale Copper
or
Silver Reflex
Heres my opinion, Positives:I think the Pale Copper looks great, its different and not many people will have it. Silver Reflex, also looks great on the car. Itll have good hypothetical resell value because its a neutral color lots of people like.
Negatives:Pale Copper might be a color I might get tired after awhile(not a given, but a possibility) the resell value may not be great because of the niche color? Silver Reflex, its boring and neutral and besides White and Black, its probably going to be the most seen color.

Copper 100% - too many silver cars. Also, how much will silver help with resale? I though it only made a difference in exoticsNeed your guys opinion... which of these two colors do you like better?

Oh damn that's really cleanPardon the dust, but I finally got this roadworthy again - and amazingly everything worked the way it was supposed on the first test drive.

I don't think it's the unanimous greatest car ever made (a loaded title subject to so many different interpretations, even if critics and fans alike fawn over it to this day, even myself), but so much of it is the true engineering achievement of it all in a road car. You had a bit of that next-level engineering on cars like the 959 and others that preceded it, but the F1 took it to a whole other level, and pushed every car that came after it to that level of scrutiny and into competition for the arms race of top speed. The Veyron is undoubtedly an engineering masterpiece, but it's a follower, and forever will be. When you put the F1 in the context of the cars that were out around or before the time it came out, it stood alone, and noticeably so for years to come. It was impressive in itself and by relation to other vehicles.What is the reason why the Mclaren F1 is generally considered "The greatest car ever made"
was it really impactful to the car community when it came out
here is what the wiki says
In 1994, the British car magazine Autocar stated in a road test regarding the F1, "The McLaren F1 is the finest driving machine yet built for the public road." They further stated, "The F1 will be remembered as one of the great events in the history of the car, and it may possibly be the fastest production road car the world will ever see."[5] In 2005, Channel4 placed the car at number one on their list of the 100 greatest cars, calling it "the greatest automotive achievement of all time". In popular culture, the McLaren F1 has earned its spot as 'The greatest automobile ever created' and 'The Most Excellent Sports Car Of All Time' amongst a wide variety of car enthusiasts and lovers.[6] Notable past and present McLaren F1 owners include Elon Musk,[7] Jay Leno,[8] George Harrison,[9] and the Sultan of Brunei.[10] In the April 2017 issue of Top Gear Magazine, the McLaren F1 was listed as one of the fastest naturally aspirated cars currently available in the world, and in the same league as the more modern vehicles such as the Ferrari Enzo and Aston Martin One-77 despite being produced and engineered 10 years prior the Ferrari Enzo and 17 years prior the Aston Martin One-77.[11]
its legacy is greater than the Bugatti Veyron? how?
