If you search the archives you can read about my terrible experiences with driveoff.com(out of buisiness now) and carsdirect.com. The biggest thing i can caution you on is to be very very clear on where/how the car is going to be delivered. I have to drive 175 miles to go pick up my new truck...

Well of course I pamper it. . its only got 800 miles on it! ------------------ Big Fish-2001. 5 2500 QuadLWB 4x4 SLT Black/silver ETH/DEE SnowPlow/Camper/3. 55

I lost a lot of sleep pondering an Ebrake. Since 90% of my driving is empty and around town, i chose against it. After trying to do 'multi-gear' engine braking coming up to stoplights, i find the extremely close ratio of the DEE makes this next to impossible at the typical 45-0 (5th to 2nd) city...

My new truck is far and again the heaviest thing I have ever driven. My truck only has 800 miles on it, and already i have a thick coat of brake dust on the front wheels. My question is, for stop and go city driving empty, what is the better way to apply the brakes? I generally am gentle with...

My 2001. 5 with a whopping 530 miles on it has this same phenomenon. When she is cold, 3rd will 'grind' quite audibly every time. I know its not operator error, cuz after 15 minutes or so of running, it won't do it anymore. 4th has happened a couple times, but not as regular as 3rd. I have the...

The new truck is finally here and as I pull up to my house, i realized the only way i was going to get it in the garage is by folding both sides of the mirrors in. I have those big black 'towing' mirrors that rotate 90degrees with the little fisheye thing. The mechanism that they fold in has...

I feel your pain. My truck was built on 2/15 and its been doing the 12 state tour, too. At the rate its going, its going to be at least another 2 weeks. Im dying! ------------------ Old Smokey-2001. 5 2500 QuadLWB 4x4 SLT Black/silver ETH/DEE SnowPlow/Camper/3. 55

the windshield on the wife's car has decided to go hazy during rainstorms at night. The wipers are working, but after a wiper pass, there is a haze, that reminds me of a RainX'd windshield in fog. Oncoming traffic, and streetlights are basically whiteing out the road. Its getting very dangerous...

Well, The nicest thing is that the online places are all 'full disclosure-no haggle'. You just click on the options to build your truck, and it tells you what the price is. the two local dealers here in Charlotte,NC are not interested in selling anywhere near invoice, even when presented with...

Well, after a gruelling 2 MONTHS of pounding on various on-line car companies, I finally got my trucked ordered. Trying to order one of these thru these online dealers is NOT for the faint of heart, but i was determined to do it, just for the sake of the experience. carsdirect.com no longer...
