In Calif registration on new cars is stupid high. I worked years ago at a shop that bought and repaired salvage auction cars. When we sold one we disclosed the damage and gave the buyer the option of buying the car with a prior salvage title or prior junk title. The difference was that...

They make errand vehicles here in the metro Pheonix area. In the summer the hybrid milage may drop due to the A/C being used 120% of the time.

Just remember that the salvage voids the factory warrantee

I'm just under 6' and I Lower my seat. My 5'3 wife Raises her seat.

I believe the O/P had a lazy or clueless dealer. Just before covid my cousins Ford car puked water everywhere. Manufacturer did not have a replacement engine. Dealership searched dealership parts inventory and found a new engine in the southeast and had it flown to the central coast of...

The rabbit ate the Lariat specific loom on my F-150 including a CAN-BUS wire that took out the door locks, front windows, tailgate lock (i could not unlock it to unload), A/C etc. The loom was on the left inner fender between the air cleaner and the master cyl. It also took out the compressor...

Shake Away Fox Urine Granules I buy them at Ace Hardware.

A rabbit did $2500 damage to the wiring on my 16 F150 and $500 wiring damage to my Maverick. I now keep Fox Urine Powder sprinkled under the hoods of the vehicles and on the ground around them.

Thank you for the updates. I am still dragging my feet about getting the recall done. I keep reading about issues and hearing about unskilled workers. Grease and pinched wires.....amature mistakes.

I had the bumper pulled and repaired then painted, I also had the silver grille bar painted Chili Pepper Red at the same time. Here in AZ I see lots of two tone bumpers after a paint blend gone bad and decided to do it right rather than the pizza face look. The color matched grille bar looks...

Thats how I got mine. The 3 potential customers at the dealership were glairing daggers at my wife and I. When I handed my CC to the salesperson as I walked in (refundable deposit) I could feel eyes burning into my back. Drove the fully optioned HPR Hybrid home the next day. One of...

There are parts of the US where AM is still popular despite the tunnel vision number crunchers. There is a small AM station in Calif that has a standby generator and when there is a disaster they broadcast 24-7 with current FACTS to help residents keep safe. Other news sources use them for...

Some dealers plug a device (such as a GPS locator or a hokey anti-theft device ) into the OBD port and upcharge the buyer for it. If you are not sure what your looking for, it could make it hard to spot.

Europe has mandated that all charging ports are to be "C" type. That may be influencing Fords choices.

I remember the early 70s Chevy and GMC pickup hoods that would bend just in front of the hinge bracket. This was happening on pickups less than 2 years old. Makes me not want to install the aftermarket support.

Welcome. You will learn that it takes some skill here in the valley to achieve both fantastic fuel economy and keep cool in the summer! My 22 Chili Pepper Red is always the first choice to take downtown and the other cars sit.

Just in case you want to increase your milage, my neighbor lowered his Hybrid Maverick and gained 6 MPG for doing so.

I had a left front marker light that didn't light. I took it to the dealer and the wires were found to have been eaten by a rodent!

7k miles on my hybrid. Only issue that I have is that its never parked at home. Wife keeps using it!

If my Hybrid was running poorly and if the dealer told me to keep driving it til the parts came in I would be doing homework on the Lemon Laws. A vehicle with a miss in it is a gross polluter in many parts of the nation and not safe to drive. My niece had a 8 month old fiesta? that was not...
