What year HR-V did you get? I kind of want a previous gen model (not the new 2023 model).We were looking for a second car for a few months, almost every dealership had protection packages added to sticker, and we walked out of every one. Finally found the Classic Auto Group in Galveston, they advertise as no dealer add-ons. I talked with salesman, picked out the Honda HR-V we wanted, waited about 6 weeks for it to get built and shipped from Mexico, and paid MSRP. Right now that's a good deal.
Our Toyota dealer wants to buy back my wife’s 2016 Tundra just above the same price we paid for it new.
It’s quite an attractive offer, but how are we to replace it with a new one when their new vehicle lot is empty?
Hondas were pretty much MSRP before the shortages weren’t they? Looking through that optic, you paid about what you would have three years ago.

Not even an F150 with a 700lb lighter body, and a 5L Coyote engine?!I'll stick with my older pickups.
Nothing new that makes me want a newer one anyway.
Quit saying that because I also have a 2wd pickup. LMAOBe careful, most men that drive 2wd trucks would like that.
The newer ones are burning oil. There’s a class action filed for 2018-2020 models of the 5.0 for excessive oil consumption. No idea if that will carry over to ‘21/’22 models. If I chose to get an oil burner, it would be a full on diesel, lol. I’ve got a truck with 5.0 coyote, but it’s an older one. Damn thing does get up and go..Not even an F150 with a 700lb lighter body, and a 5L Coyote engine?!
The get-up, and NAV/Pandora (in rentals for work) sold me!
Nope. I need 3/4 ton minimum.Not even an F150 with a 700lb lighter body, and a 5L Coyote engine?!

1 quart every 3k milesGood god, what does Ford consider excessive oil consumption? Every Ford I've driven with more than 40k on the odom uses a quart every oil change. I'm really curious to know how much they're burning.
Those early 5.3 are the best in my eye. I’ve had four of them ranging between 2001 and 2005 over the years,I'm sure glad I bought my year old Silverado in 2002.
Because less driving due to high fuel costs?Less new means more repairs on old? Not really. It's slower than it should be right now in this heat.
1 quart every 3k miles
Mine is an 8qt sump. I change oil in all my cars 1k miles per qt, so truck gets it at 8k miles. The oil life indicator is generally ~15-18% at that time. People are getting in trouble because they run it down to near zero at which point they starve the engine of oil. Ferd has a software update to recalc the oil life monitor but then why have such a large capacity sump if you can’t take advantage of it?Heh, that's every Ford I've had or driven for work. My old service truck, an 07 F150 6 cylinder, used a quart every 3000. The 99 and 02 F250's we used to have were the same, they had the V8's. Shit, even my 98 Taurus I had for a while used a quart every 3K miles. I'm genuinely shocked Ford actually gives a shit about that now - maybe because they're advertising 5 or 7K oil changes, vs 3k now?
