Replying to: jmonroe (Nov 16, 2007 5:50 am) I deal exclusively with Tire Rack. I use one of their "Recommended Installers" who charges me $10/tire for mounting and balancing- and has the car in and out in less than 45 minutes. Just yesterday my wife picked up a lag bolt one of the X3's tires, and Tire Rack shipped out a replacement before they closed. The dealer installed a temporary plug and the new tire will be fitted tomorrow or Monday. Since Tire Rack has a warehouse in South Bend IN and Louisville is a UPS hub, standard UPS shipping is effectively "Next Day" shipping. I haven't purchased a tire from a local shop since 1992.

Or more specifically the relative merits of Buicks.... My experience with them and with many of the larger GM cars are that they are fine cars to be a passenger in. Comfortable and roomy. I'd let anyone in the family have one except me. That's because I really like cars that have some fun to drive in them. Of course at the moment family size has restricted things and I'm in an Ody (as much fun as you can have with a minivan except maybe the Entourage which is notably quicker off the line). Give me time. I'm aiming at joining roadburner with the Mazdaspeed 3. Of course a friend with a Mazda S plan tells me it's the only MAzda you can't get with one. |

Replying to: jipster (Nov 16, 2007 7:50 am) Could someone with computer skills go the the Le Sabre T-Type forum and post a photo of my "old man's" car? It's white by the way and the paint on the hood is SHOT. Giving it to my son today. He was 10 the day I brought it home and loved it from the time he saw it. |

Replying to: isellhondas (Nov 16, 2007 8:20 am) Yeah, I'd like to check out a pic of isells wheels. Never heard of the "T-Type"... if it is anything similar to the Buick Grand National, well I guess we'll have to bump your age estimate down a couple decades.

Replying to: epiney (Nov 16, 2007 7:52 am) As for the Range Rovers there are either 4,000 or 5,000 dollars back on them depending on the trim level. On vehicles that start at 77,000 dollars and top out at nearly 100,000 dollars that really isn't a whole lot of money when compared to the R-Class that started in the low 50s and had over 10,000 dollars back on them at the height of incentives. There aren't many 2007 Range Rovers left either. We sold our last one at the end of August. |

Replying to: jipster (Nov 16, 2007 8:32 am) They took a Le Sabre coupe, lowered it, put in different suspension and a lower axle ratio, exhaust etc. Different interior etc. Mine has leather with power on both sides. It will cruise at 100 MPH without making a sound. Certainly not a Grand National but a very nice car.

Replying to: fezo (Nov 16, 2007 8:34 am) I was going to say something like that but I'm a nice guy plus I knew 'isell' would never speak to me again.  jmonroe
