We are 3 00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:11.720 once again very. 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.359 Lucky to have with us tonight the WBZ car guys. 5 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.399 We are about to leave the well, we've left the 6 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.440 winter driving season. The summer driving season is upon us. 7 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.519 So any questions you have about your car, you don't 8 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.199 want to break down. You want to make sure that 9 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:29.199 the tires are properly inflated. We've gone over some of that. 10 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.039 If you missed it, feel free to join the conversation. 11 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.240 Ask whatever question you want. As I often have said 12 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.359 to people, the only dumb question of the questions you 13 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.039 don't have the courage to ask, because that's always the 14 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.679 question that's going to cause your problem somewhere down the line. 15 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.640 So with that said, we're going to get right back 16 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.920 to the phone calls, and we're going to go to Chuck, 17 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.200 who's down in Georgia. Hey Chuck, welcome, How are you tonight? 18 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.119 Good? How you doing? 19 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:55.439 Dan? 20 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.200 And Larry and Scott. 21 00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:58.119 We're doing great. 22 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.600 Hi Jack, good evening. 23 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.640 I have good good, I'm doing well. I have a 24 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.680 question for you about a particular vehicle. It's the newly 25 00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.640 styled Hyundai Santa Fe with a two and a half 26 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.959 Leader four cylinder turbo. 27 00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.840 Go right ahead. Did we lose. 28 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.519 I have a question on a particular vehicle. 29 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.120 We hear yeah, we could hear you perfectly. Is but 30 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.519 if if that's almost sounds like a replay, yes, what 31 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.200 is your question? 32 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:34.920 Go right ahead? 33 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.640 Well, I want their opinion on it, whether it's a 34 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.400 good motor, good car. What? 35 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.239 Okay, run the vehicle bias one more time because it 36 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.280 was a little bit of talk over. Please, and you 37 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.480 want your opinion. This is when you're going to buy 38 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:49.799 or one you currently own. 39 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.400 Uh I didn't buy it yet, but I want to. 40 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.640 It's the newly restyled Hyundai Santa Fe with a two 41 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.560 and a half Leader turbo. 42 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.599 All right, well my first question to you, Chuck, Chuck, 43 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.560 My first question is how long do you want to 44 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.480 keep this car. 45 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.360 I'll keep it for a while. I'm getting older. 46 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.439 Now tell me what that means. Does that mean seven years, 47 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.879 ten years, fifteen years, a year and. 48 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.360 A half, probably keep it. I'll probably keep it eight 49 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:21.800 or ten years. 50 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.919 Okay, that's not the car for you. There have been 51 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.319 numerous Hayndai engine failures at relatively low mileage. Kir and 52 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:33.960 Hyundai are. 53 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.439 Not the cars you want to own. 54 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.080 In my opinion, you could certainly lease one and turn 55 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.639 it back in after two years, three years, whatever the 56 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.319 mileage gateway happens to be. But they historically have terrible 57 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.439 tow engines. 58 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.520 Well, you know, Larry, they have a ten year warranty 59 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.080 on the transmission and engine. 60 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.319 That you you need to look at it. You need 61 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:08.199 to look that warranty over very carefully, Chuck. 62 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.639 I think you get I think you're getting some good 63 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.240 advice here. But and and I very rarely hear Larry 64 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.759 as definitive on a specific vehicle. He's he tends to 65 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:26.199 when you hear him this definitively. Uh, it's it's it's 66 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.000 more than a yellow caution flag. 67 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.960 It's what we're saying. Go ahead, Larry, mean to interrupt, Go. 68 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.560 Ahead, Chuck, Chuck. I I visited and I do consultation 69 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.919 at a number of of professional shops. You would not 70 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.840 believe the number of Kia and Hyundai engines I see 71 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.439 replaced they Like I said, if you like the kind now, 72 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:51.879 I think the car looks great. It's a it's a 73 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:58.240 nicely restyled h vehicle. The front end almost looks like 74 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.800 a newer Jeep. I think that it's it's kind of 75 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.240 different looking, but it's fire as far as their power 76 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.560 train goes. No, No, If you love the car, I 77 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.039 would lease it for us, and maybe if you're really 78 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.759 happy with it, you can buy it after the least expires. 79 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.000 But no, sir, as far as my personal opinion goes, 80 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:22.439 that's a definite no. 81 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.040 Well I'll continue looking then, thank you very much. 82 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.399 Uh, Larry, let me ask a question Chuck hasn't asked, 83 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.319 and that is, is there another vehicle close to that 84 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.839 that you feel differently about that you might recommend to 85 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:41.079 Chuck to take a look at. 86 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.160 I would rather, for the sake of longevity, seem see 87 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.680 him purchase a use Honda perhaps of the same class. 88 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.199 I Use Honda would be a much better bed for the. 89 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.439 Same money, something like a Pilot. 90 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.800 Absolutely, that's a that's an excellent choice. You buy one 91 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.079 a few years old and still has a very good 92 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.439 warranty on it, You're going to have a lot less problems, 93 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.680 and I believe that you're going to be able to 94 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.639 get a much better resale value on it when you're 95 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.639 ready to turn it in Versus this. 96 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.079 I understand completely and thank you for your opinion. I 97 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:31.439 really I'll really be looking elsewhere than probably at the Honda. 98 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.439 But by the way, Scott, I think he's trying to 99 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:34.680 jump in for a second glass. 100 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.040 Just I am shocked. Dad and I, I mean, for 101 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.480 anybody that wasn't nuts for more than you know, a 102 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.759 few years, know that him and I are a huge 103 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:49.000 proponent for Toyota, both big fans. Dad drives Tekoya. I 104 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.120 do not own a Toyota, but I love them because 105 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.000 I think they're a great vehicle. Why would we not 106 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.279 look at a round for here? 107 00:05:58.439 --> 00:05:59.439 Another choice too? 108 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.639 What's that If you can afford it, that's all. If 109 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.319 Chuck can afford it, that's also a good way to 110 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.360 go do. But the rab fours and anything in the 111 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.600 Toyo lineup retained such a high resale price correct, and 112 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.000 I don't know if that goes the reason that Honda does, right, 113 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.519 Honda drops a little bit more. I think that it 114 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:23.600 may be a better choice. But if you can afford 115 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.639 a RAB four, that's an awesome choice as well. I 116 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.959 know a lot of there's want to talk about Honda 117 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.959 attention on the outskirts right now. 118 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.480 Okay, Well, I was thinking about thirty five to forty thousand, 119 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.480 so I think they're in that range. 120 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:49.199 I think New rap Force is just about thirty thousand dollars. 121 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.600 Yeah, okay, Jack, I think you got some great advice. 122 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:52.959 Thank you. 123 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.439 My friend Chuck's a good friend. That's why I kept 124 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.279 him on as long as we did. Thanks, Juck, talked 125 00:06:58.279 --> 00:06:58.720 to you soon. 126 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:00.000 Bye bye. 127 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.040 I have a great nime. Gentlemen. You talk about a Toyota. 128 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.600 I looked at a Toyota the other day, and I 129 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.839 want I want the cold hard facts. 130 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:08.199 Okay. 131 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.839 I went to a Toyota dealership. You know, I've got 132 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.040 my old Vovo that maybe getting close to being retired. 133 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.480 So I looked at a twenty twenty five Toyota Crown 134 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:20.800 Signia s. 135 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:21.879 I g N I A. 136 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:27.040 It's called the Toyota Crown Signia Limited. What's your take. 137 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:27.720 On that vehicle. 138 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.240 I have not seen it yet, but I am looking 139 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:38.240 at it as we speak. But you know, Dan, well, 140 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.480 first of all, before I answer that, I want to 141 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.519 say congratulations. I'm becoming a new grandpart just a couple 142 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.279 of days ago. I make that's awesome, thank you very much. 143 00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:52.399 I'm thinking of that that Caroline Ruth Ray my granddaughter, 144 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.120 our granddaughter. I want to drive her around in style, 145 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.079 and I kind of like the looks of it. And 146 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.560 it's a bit more than I want to pay, but 147 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.560 you know, I have some flexibility. 148 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.959 It's it's it's a car that I looked at. 149 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.360 It's it fits in terms of it's not substantially bigger. 150 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.839 Than the the the the X seventy that I have now. 151 00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:20.879 But I know you guys love Toyotas, so that's why 152 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:22.879 I follow your advice. 153 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.560 That's why I've looked at a Toyota. 154 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.680 I am looking at pictures of it now. It's a 155 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:32.679 beautiful car, it really is. I would call it almost 156 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:38.519 almost a crossover for the for the people that can recall, 157 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.679 let's just call it a station wagon because that's what 158 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.639 it looks like. Well, did you get a chance to 159 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.000 road test it, Dan, Nope, Nope, heaven't. 160 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.039 I just wanted to give a look. And the funny 161 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.320 thing about it was I'm old school. So I said 162 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.840 to the guy who I was dealing with, who's a 163 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.639 really nice guy, I said, can you give me, you know, 164 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.879 a brochure so I can take They don't make pro 165 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.840 sue anymore, so you gotta kinda go in and find it. 166 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.960 He he sent me the PDF and I looked at it. 167 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.200 It's just funny. But these these cars go up and 168 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.360 price it. They're going to save a couple of bucks 169 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.919 on printing brochures, which I just don't understand. 170 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.840 But that's I'm a little old school, as you guys know. 171 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:27.879 Well, look, I literally had a maybe who said they 172 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.120 didn't get a manual. 173 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.000 Car, and they took went the old school school route. 174 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:37.279 They printed out the manual two hundred and twenty five pages. Yeah, 175 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.519 I'm not printed out because they wanted I did. I 176 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.759 did want to say something before we either move on 177 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.279 or go on to next. I actually misspoke before and 178 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.120 I said something about Honda on the outskirts and I misspoke. 179 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.039 That was Nissan who I was referring to, and I 180 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.200 just had a little, uh uh, a little memoaps I 181 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.320 think there for a moment, but I did want to 182 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.440 comment that insignia. It reminds me so much of your 183 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.200 ball though looking at the nose of it, it's a 184 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:08.879 pick carpet you cross over to. 185 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.559 So that's what I'm thinking. 186 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.960 So I'll probably call you at some point when I 187 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.480 when I get closer I'm I'm kind of in the 188 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.720 dating phase so far, you know, I've it's like I'm 189 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:24.600 considering it.

First, I want to thank Larry and Scott for 203 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.399 all the years they took care of my car when 204 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.000 I was living in Lexington up until five years ago, 205 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.919 and thanked them and tell them how much I enjoyed 206 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.320 seeing me honor veteran to Larry's father in World War 207 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.240 Two who was the World War Two veteran, and looking 208 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:25.360 at that in their case there, honor, thank you. I 209 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.440 want to thank them for that Doug Bidwell here in ipswitch. Okay, 210 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:36.960 My problem is I got a seventy twenty fourteen Volkswagen 211 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:43.279 Jetta at seventy five thousand miles twenty fourteen VW Jetta. 212 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:50.480 And my auto guy, who is at Topsfield Fairgrounds now 213 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.799 for five years, he's been telling me the last five 214 00:11:55.879 --> 00:12:03.919 years engine oil pan, rusty six hundred and eighty dollars 215 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:11.039 including oil change to fix a rusty engine oilpan for 216 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.039 six hundred and eighty dollars to include oil change. And 217 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:20.399 I don't know how serious this rusty oilpan is on 218 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.919 my car, or how bad it is, or whether or 219 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:27.240 not it's going to go out. And then there are 220 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:31.879 two more problems which he lists. He says also slight 221 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:38.639 oil leak at right front axle, slight oil leak at 222 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:44.799 right front axle. And then he says oil seeping from 223 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:51.679 intake in front of throttle body. So I got those 224 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:56.080 three problems. The major one is the oil pan. And 225 00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.000 I want to ask Scott and Larry how serious is 226 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.600 this oil pan leak when I don't ever see anything 227 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.480 on the ground when I parked the car. 228 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.960 Okay, gentlemen, let me get let me, let me get 229 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.399 Larry in here first, go ahead, Larry. 230 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.840 Well, first of all, are you going through oil between 231 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:26.440 oil changes? No? Okay, So now, Doug one more time, 232 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.200 because I was writing things down. What's the year of 233 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.279 it again? How many miles? 234 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:41.960 Twenty fourteen f W chatter at seventy five thousand miles? 235 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.679 Okay. Have you actually looked at the oil leak yourself 236 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.879 as he called you out to the. 237 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:55.159 Shop, Yes, a few years ago that I looked at it. 238 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.080 It just looks like all of the paint that might 239 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.720 have been on that bottom of that pan, that all 240 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:07.879 the paint is like cracked off. And I didn't but 241 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.799 I didn't see too much oil, but there's certainly evidence 242 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:17.360 of rest on the bottom of that oil pan. It's 243 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:21.960 a standard known problem with VW autom deals because there's 244 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:22.720 no shield. 245 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:32.879 Of course. Well, i'll tell you what, if you want 246 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.720 seeing oil, if you wren't using oil between oil changes 247 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.240 and it's not considered a fire hazard, yeah, then I 248 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.519 don't think I would invest that kind of that kind 249 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.720 of money. I mean, that's a lot of money for 250 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.600 an oil pan. Now, if you were telling me that 251 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.679 when you popped your car in the morning, when you're 252 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.159 backed out, you saw spots of oil on the ground, 253 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.960 I'd say, yeah, okay, so this is something you have 254 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.559 to do. Your car needs flopper amount oil for lubrication 255 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.879 in cooling the engine. Without oil, your engine are going 256 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.440 to overheat. But you aren't seeing anything on the ground. 257 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.159 And I'll tell you he's telling you a bunch. 258 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:16.120 Of different weeks. 259 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.600 I would suggest you get a second opinion. I really do, Doug. 260 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.080 I've known you for a number of years and I 261 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.799 know you take good care of your cars. But I hate, 262 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.200 like heck to see you waste money also, so I. 263 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.879 Think no, I really look, I really do know all 264 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.440 these guys at Topsiel fair Grounds. They've done a good 265 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.360 job for me. He's saying, slight oil leak at right 266 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:44.519 front axle. Does that mean an oil leak at the 267 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:49.120 transaxle that the boot has to be replaced? Is that 268 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.279 a lot of money to deal with and a serious 269 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.360 slight oil leak at right front axle? 270 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.159 Okay, now the oil leak at the axle, is you 271 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.279 talking about the inboard seal coming from the transaxle with 272 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:05.720 the actual plugs into it? 273 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.799 Hey, transaxl. He just wrote on this sheet here, on 274 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:16.840 the recommendation sheet, slight oil leak at right front. 275 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.559 Actually, Doug, Doug, I think we've gone over this a 276 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.120 bunch of times, and I want to be respectful to 277 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.519 the other callers.

But the 319 00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:29.079 new traverse or like ten thousand more dollars than the 320 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.559 last reverse I bought, plus it now has a two 321 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.079 point zero two point five engine with the CBP transmission, 322 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.599 and it seems like a lot of vehicle for for 323 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.920 that engine. Am I Am I wrong? 324 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.519 Or what that? You think that the the engine is 325 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.400 underside and the size of the vehicle. 326 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:54.000 Yeah, because I've loaded that thing right up, and you know, okay, 327 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:55.279 that just seems. 328 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.519 So we've gone from a three point six feet to 329 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:00.519 be sick, what is it now? Like? Plus owner, it 330 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:00.799 was a. 331 00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.839 Yeah, it was a three point eight six older. Now 332 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.759 it's going to a two point I don't know if 333 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.559 it's two point zero two point five. And they have 334 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.400 it regular and they have it turbo either way on 335 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:13.119 a reverse. 336 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:20.000 So I can tell you that recently, uh Stilantis or 337 00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:24.319 Deep Dodge Ram, he dropped the classic five point seven 338 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.200 liter Hemi engine which hoped to be making tea come back, 339 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.160 and they replace him in the Rams. They went from 340 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:35.839 a big eight cylinder to an inline six turbo. And 341 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.720 the owner of the company that I worked for happened 342 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:44.000 to drive one of these with these with this inline 343 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:49.039 six turbo and it has got monster talk great horsepower. 344 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.079 I wouldn't necessarily I'd like to know what the what 345 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.559 the toe ratings are. And you said you loaded up, 346 00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:58.079 do you actually toe with the vehicle? 347 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.400 No, tome just loaded up with kids. Well that's why 348 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.039 she wants to traverse, because it's big. We started looking 349 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:09.400 at the other models, you know, the Toyota, you know, 350 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.799 unless you get into the bigger cars. Now you're talking 351 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.200 sixty seventy grand Uh, we're trying to stay around at 352 00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.359 forty grand Mark and you know, we're looking at the 353 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:26.240 the Kia, the Bitsubishi, and uh, actually the Hondi, which 354 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.039 is just bad mouth. So now I'm kind of sad 355 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.200 because we ended up getting the Palace Bade because of 356 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.160 the sixth year older you know, eight speed transmission instead 357 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.559 of the little go kart transmission. 358 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.160 You know. So this is gonna tell you a little something. 359 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.160 Back in twenty twenty, that three point six literer produced 360 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.279 three hundred and ten horse power, and then out of 361 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:57.799 that B six this a new twenty twenty five turbo 362 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:02.279 four cylinder is three hundred and twenty eight horse power, 363 00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.519 smaller engine, pron fuel economy, more horsepower. 364 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.559 But then I looked at the fuel economy and it's 365 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.000 not any better, especially like the Key. It was like 366 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.519 ridiculous with a smaller engine. 367 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.400 One on the traverse. 368 00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:24.680 The true traverse, same thing. It wasn't that much much 369 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:29.079 better with a smaller engine, the same What was they won? 370 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.759 What is your what is your your current you're twenty 371 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.240 twenty What does that get for fuel? 372 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:40.920 Bullich, I'm getting about twenty twenty one, right, and. 373 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.440 This one that's twenty five four so on the turbot 374 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:50.440 was rated for twenty seven on the highway. Yeah, that's 375 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.759 seven miles to the gallon, more six miles to the 376 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.160 gallon more than what you're getting now, which is that's 377 00:21:55.200 --> 00:22:00.200 pretty damn good.
