How long does the extended maint you were offered last? I decided to go for it so i'm covered up to 100,000 miles. I'm a bit ticked cause I paid a few $$$ more than the $1395 your quoting!

 

I am strongly considering it, as it covers all oil/air filter changes during that period along with Brake Work. Even if the cost of those tasks isn't QUITE equal to the $1500 that I was quoted, the extra elements that the $1500 will cover will more than make up the difference.

We will be adding the extended maintenance package to the car within the first year.

 

Very soon you will be in one too...

Anyone considering getting the mud flaps? They give it that distinctive rally car look besides keeping the car clean. Outmotoring has them for lesser than the dealership excluding installation. I was wondering if anyone has heard if it's easy to install it.

Maddie finally arrived at the dealer a few moments ago. Delivery is set for 1:30 Wednesday. Finally!!!!!!!

 

Congratulations!! Let us all know when you pick her up.

 

Travis arrived in Portland today. My MA says they'll need about a week to get him prepped and vinyled up. Looks like I'll be taking the train down next weekend to fetch him. Tho, my MA won't be there. She's moving to Cali and will be gone before Travis is ready. Awwwwww.

 

You can believe I will post a pic or two.

 

We shall breath deep as we wait

 

Drats!

998 miles down... Planned a road trip for tomorrow... Went to dinner and came back out to find the Tire Pressure lamp lit. Drove home, just two blocks and found a screw in my tire...

BTW, I didn't get the tire/wheel insurance...

Has anyone purchased the tire/wheel insurance for the run-flat set up?

 

They said 6yrs./100,000 miles.

I am still considering it. My problem is that I only drive about 12,000 miles a year (@70K in six years) so I'd most likely hit the six years well before the 100K. From what I've read I probably won't need clutch replaced till around 90-95K.

Brake service using high end aftermarket pads is very reasonably priced here in Charleston as well. Had my wifes volvo S-40 with new(not turned) rotors on two wheels and aftermarket pads (better than OEM) done for around $375.00.

If I had caught it before rotors wore out it would be even less.

Having said that it is very enticing to consider no maint. for 6yrs/100k.

Had all the windows tinted today with 30% Johnson all ceramic tint (including sunroof) Blocks 85% of the heat generating UV. I noticed the temperature differance right away. The tint goes perfect with SS and black trim as well.

I'll post pics after Iput the JCW grill on this weekend.

what did the sunroof tint cost?

 

Can run flats be repaired for such damage?

 

I was told when they offered the insurance that the tire cannot be repaired. Confirmed this on pirelli site. But it is because they don't know how long the tire was driven on after being deflated.

 

15 1/5 hours and counting!!!!!
i hope i can sleep tonight.
i am not going to work before, i have to try to talk to my insurance guy in the morning to clear up a few issues.

 

I'm excited for you

 

i finally ordered my detailing supplies. so i guess i am really doing this thing.
i guess it won't be for sure until tomorrow afternoon, tho. i am getting sooooo excited!!!!!!!!

 

Just sunroof in all ceramic tint is about 70 bucks.

????? Hope everything works out for you.

 

WOO HOO, that's great news! There is light at the end of the tunnel

 

thanks

would you mind taking a few photos, like from top looking at it and from inside looking through

 

I so definitely need to do that, my MINI is getting filthy

 

I went through Detailer's Paradise. Wonderful products. My wife's Tribeca never looked so good. I am all practiced up and ready for Maddie.

 

i ordered from show car detailing. i was thinking i should get the stuff earlier so i could practice on the saturn and maybe my husband's mazda 3 (he didn't seem too excited about me practicing on his car--but he is leaving friday for a week-- hehehehe if he is not in the state, he can't stop me!!!) but it seemed like a jinx to order too early.
