You won't be disappointed..

Climbing to 160k figured I'd share some pictures of what to expect at this mileage.

At a glance my car has appeared to be near mint, well truth be told it's not lol. So here are some pics to show what 160k miles looks like on my RL.

My glove box is doing the same thing, sucks. Now I need to replace it since it gets beat up pretty easily. Your car still looks pretty fresh, I had to replace one of the front bumper trim since mine fell off.

It all adds character..

At least that's what I tell myself..

JJones91

The hardest part is getting my seats cleaned. They become hard over the years so I've been trying to soften them up and it's just not working out

RL09

Sure.. my glove-box has little grainy bumps on it. I tell myself it's signature RL Ostrich leather.

I still…don't get it

JJones91

Serviced - Deoxidized - Cleaned

iTrader: (1)

Interesting. What they charge for that?

JJones91

Errr I can't remember I spent a total of $150 there at the dealer, that's including the oil service, maybe like $70-80

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

That's respectable I guess considering it's the dealer.


Gotta redo mine when I do the car in a few weeks.

JJones91

I'm not sure if you remember but I used the Rain X kit on mine, turned out horrible, and oxidized a month later. Dealership did an amazing job!

Yea that shit is garbage.

I wet sand & hit it with a 3 stage polish

JJones91

Well car is still in my possession... Knocked my price all the way down to $6500 and still no bites on it. Got it posted everywhere from Craigslist to OfferUp, AutoTrader, CarGurus, and Facebook groups. Had a couple people offer $5000 and turned them away immediately. One guy tried to act like a know it all because he claimed to have sold cars before in the past and shut him up real quick. Hate people who try to act like a know it all when they don't know jack shit.

Those guys are the best

JJones91

Right?! He tried to tell me my car was only worth trade in value. The moment he told me that I was like "Bruh".

So in a couple months I'll be looking at picking up a new Chevy Cruze either the 2LT or the LTZ. Decided to put the truck on hold until I have more credit built and I can afford to buy a brand new truck.

iTrader: (1)

So why get rid of the RL?

JJones91

Because it's not exactly helping my credit and it has 162k miles as compared to the Cruze which has 25k miles. I'm also considering a 2015 Chevy Impala 2LT

Nexx

chevy cruz?!?

JJones91

My buddy has one, and I've driven them, they are pretty nice. His Cruze is putting down 300hp to the wheels on the 1.4L ecotec motor.
But like I said I'm keeping an open mind, if I could find a 2015 Charger SXT for my price range I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Interesting..

They come stick?

Echoe53

Just keep the RL, add A-Spec kit and you'll like it again. I was thinking about getting rid of it but I changed my mine once someone locally was selling a kit, now I want to do more to it.

JJones91

Or not... Mine has 162k miles. It's time I buy a new car. Like new new.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

You can just say your over the RL.. :wink:

TacoBello

you're 24. why do you need a new car? I know you won't listen to any of us, and that's cool, but buying a new car at your age is a bad financial decision. It'll make sense to you in a few years.

JJones91

Because I'm in the position now where I can make that decision and be comfortable about it. I may be 24 but I'm ahead of most 24 year old's. Already in management at Hertz rent a car.

Also now looking at a 2013 VW CC :P My other half likes it and it puts me right back into my GTI days.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

My dad has a 2011 CC, nice cars just don't do it for me but he loves it though..

Vdubs are a love/hate thing I guess

JJones91

I use to have a 2010 GTI and absolutely loved it. Had a stage 2 tune with a transmission tune, full 3 inch straight pipe, CAI, GFB BOV, and Audi R8 ignition coils. Car would outrun the Coyotes no issue at all. Was laying down 350hp to the wheels. Such a badass car. If I get the CC I'll be doing the same thing since it's got the same motor.

oo7spy

The Ford Coyote?

projektvertx

iTrader: (2)

I think he was referencing the 5.0 coyote motors in the Mustang?

JJones91

You're correct
