A New Car

Mar

We swap out the 2014 Mercedes Benz a got a new lease on Jaguar XF. There is a lease special from Jaguar for 39 month lease. It has small 2.0L Turbo engine with 250 HP. It's not a screamer but good enough.

I am still driving my Honda Pilot. BTW, Can you see Pompom in one of these pictures?

Honda Pilot

My Honda Pilot's navigation screen went crazy this morning and I had to restart the car to get it back. I think this was the second time it happened. Do I need to take it to the dealership???

End of The Lease

My two year lease on Mercedes E350 Diesel will be up on March 2, 2015. I have no decided on the replacement. I cannot find any good deal. The car I leased just turn 12,000 miles. I may just buy out this car.

BTW, I went to couple of dealers ... they want to play the war sales game starting with what are you looking for in a car ... I hate those dealers. Why should I pay 35% more for AUDI A6 Diesel than my MB E350 Diesel. AUDI is a better car, they say ...

Honda Hybrid SUV

I saw this car today ... It's like a Hybrid CRV. It is not available in the US.
I guess most of the Japanese card sold in the US are made in the US.
With this weaker Japanese Yen, more cars should be exported to the US from Japan.

Cheap to Operate

We have our EV Leaf for few years now.
There is no oil change. There is no gas to buy. There has been no additional cost since we bought it.

Paid EV Charging Station

I always wonder how much it costs to charge Electric Vehicle. Well, I had change to go to Bellevue Square and saw those EV charging stations. It said $1.00 minimum and $2.00 per hour. It usually take 3 to 4 hours for NISSAN LEAF to fully charged. That means $6.00 to $8.00 to fully charge the EV. That is a lot cheaper than gas at the pump.

Free Carwash

One benefit from buying a car from Barrier Motors is free car wash. Car washings are not a biggest thing in the world but if you are buying a car, this benefit puts Barrier on top.

Did not quite make a turn

This true was trying to get into a Walgreens parking lot but did not make it. He had t stop the traffic and back out of the drive way. I am still impressed with the truck drivers' skills to maneuver such a big truck and trails.
