But you're in Arizona now, right? Just basically the California Diesel tax difference, correct?

In California, seller is responsible for the first time smog check before he/she can actually sell the car. If car doesn't pass, no title transfer is possible. Seller either fixes the car or no sales. Period

Here in San Diego, best price for Diesel is about $3.85 RUG is $3.29 at Costco. Plus I get 3% cash back with my Costco credit card. Best deal is the night rate on electricity. 9 cents per kw to charge the 2018 Chevy Volt. About 16kw gives me 60miles of electrical range. Even on Gas only, the...

Not to be a Donkey, but suggest if it has not sold, your price is too high. But then again, some things just take time to find the right buyer. Good Luck with the sale.

My own experience with a 2018 Chevy Volt is very close to that of Lug_Nut. At 10 months into a 3 year 36K mile lease, I am paying $254.xx per month and my electric operation cost is well below $0.10 cents per mile. Even in San Diego, which has some of the highest cost Electric rates in the...

Mark, Check your P.M.s Just sent you one.

This is an EXCELLENT shop in North San Diego County. Took my old B4V there from East County for years. TDIBill pointed me to this shop about 4 or 5 years ago.

X2 on CrazyMonkey's post. Walnut Canyon is a jewel. Stop at Williams, AZ (last town bypassed on Route 66). Here is a link: https://www.historic66.com/photo/state/?AZ

My suggestion is to get a mid tune first. Cost, about $300 when I did it 12 years ago. That imediately showed me I needed a new clutch. Got a South Bend stage 2 endurance. At the same time as the clutch, I went to a longer 5th gear. Added about 5 mpg on the high IF I could control my right...

X 2, Buy a 195 degree thermostat.

Yes, you are right. I was using my own limited experience with running the Volt on gas. But that tends to be on longer freeway drives, not local, urban driving. Appreciate the correction.

Just to amplify on the gas vs. diesel costs at current San Diego prices: RUG at Costco is $2.95 At 42 mpg it costs about 7 cents per mile around town. D2 is about $3.65 At 42 mpg it cost about 8.7 cents per mile. With the electric car rate from SDG&E and night charging, my electric costs...

Several years ago I had my B4V steering rack rebuilt by a local San Diego rebuilder with excellent results and a much more reasonable price than I found on the internet. Now, I know you are a long way from San Diego - but check out local rebuilders, you might be surprised to find great results.

The real unicorn is the Volt. I see future service better for the Volt than the Cruze diesel. I looked at a 2018 Cruze diesel, but took home the Volt last August. My main reason was the financial terms. $1800 total down, including the first month payment. And $254 per month for 12K...

Take a good look at the Chevrolet Volt - 56 miles battery range and about 350 miles on the gas engine generator. Price $35K or less. Excellent lease terms available.

Mid 80's both Cherokee and Comanche were offered in the U.S. with factory 2.1 TurboDiesel (1985-1987). Nothing in the U.S. after that. I searched for a number of years to find my 1986 Jeep Comanche factory diesel so I could do my TDI conversion project.

Just my recent experience as a ex B4V owner: Just spent a 4 day weekend in Palm Springs, CA. Used my 2018 Volt for the trip. My first 50 miles were all electric. The balance of the trip was all gasoline. Total gas only miles, 316.2. Gas filled when I got home was 7.891 gallons for 40.07 mpg...

Got the TDI Comanche back on Friday night. Wildernest camper is gone, Tailgate was painted black, plates were changed, registration documents are gone. But it is home now. Thieves are dumb. And this one was really stupid DUMB. He drove the stolen truck back to the same...
