I think that’s what she meant, work on it once warrantee expires.
Yeah basically.
I will likely be doing like, oil changes etc myself, (they charge EIGHTY DOLLARS ffs, and I think last time they damaged the sideskirt a bit, I HATE YOU HERB CHAMBERS, you don't even know the oil needs to be changed every 3k not 5!!!) but I got the extended warranty for a reason.
I'd like to be able to at least be able to guess what is wrong though. Like being able to pop the hood and tell if there is an obvious problem sort of thing. Also given the fact they are discontinuing the car and the dealers are removing their fiat signs I worry somewhat that my warranty won't actually be good the full remaining 5 years. There's a reason i had to limp the thing 40 miles to norwood, most of the nearby Chrysler brand dealers won't touch it.

I’m with this guy on that. Last car I had with a 3K oil change interval was my Z and only because the manual specifically called for mineral oil due to the quirks of the engine.Does the manual actually say 3,000 miles? If not, that rule of thumb is really pretty old, and modern oils are far superior. It really is a waste to change it that often if it is not needed.

Do I look like Doug Demuro to you?!Only quirks? Not Quirks and Features?
Depends on the car. In the Jeep it's a very easy replacement; the TL is more complicated; Miata didn't have one!Least favorite filter

We have been kicking around the idea of trading in the wife's 2010 Edge with 163k miles on the odo. I found a 2019 Explorer sport for a pretty good price at a dealer two hours from here so I sent a request on their web page last night. This morning I get a text asking if it is ok for them to text me why not just call....... he also sent an email with the wrong vehicle in it. I reply back to the email specifying which one I was interested and he promptly sends the correct vehicle asking if we wanted to come in for a visit today.
I respond a few hours later informing him live a couple hours away and ask what their out the door price is, he responds with we do not quote out the door prices.
For those that have done this over email/text why didn't he call and discuss this over the phone if you are a salesman that is half decent wouldn't that be the more personal approach to earn someones business? Has it become common to negotiate over text/email now? Is it common for them to not quote out the door pricing? We are in no hurry to trade in but if the deal was attractive enough driving a few hours to get a car is not a big deal.
We were planning on getting the new Aviator but with all the issues between them and the Explorer there is no way we are going to touch one for at least a year which is something we have discussed as well.
Your enquiry is being dealt with by a lazy jack-ass. Phone them and ask for the name of the Sales Manager and to speak with them assuming it's not the same person.
It’s expensive to have humans answer phones, you need many humans to handle many calls. You only need a few humans to handle many emails/chats.I realize companies have also made it a RPITA to get an actual human on the phone that can help trouble shoot an issue.
I can’t have a phone conversation while doing other things aside from driving, but I can text/email.I find it amazing how many people go out of their way to do business by email/text instead of having a 10 minute conversation.
