I forgot about that puck to drive the supercharger because it's a $20 part you can change yourself. Yes if you wait for it to rattle a lot they will just replace the entire supercharger not the coupler on the snout.
Ok, we won't talk about hp with a pulley and E85 like you mentioned before. Or reliability. BTW the 2016 isn't the 5th and I wasn't talking about the lifter problems of the L99 or timing chains on the V6s or 6ths so I understand there are sore spots.
The loss buying a new car sucks. I posted a chart but that doesn't include the 8or9% sales tax we might be paying and expensive license fees OR dealer markup over MSRP which are all totally lost costs so that can add another 5k or much more into the already $10k depreciation costs. Flipping a new car simply sucks financially. They give you less on a trade in but you aren't taxed on the value of your car so can come out ahead with say 2k less outright price but 3k tax savings...


As far as dealers asking inflated prices on everything yes, they do get them. They might play some trade in math to either lower the trade in value or car sale price but mostly they are looking to screw you with maintenance plans and extended warranties and high % loans and everyway they can. I had to go far out of town and a different no-dealer manufacturer to avoid it on my last cars. One out of town dealer I still had to put up with the bs pushing all the way along the sale as they juggle you to this and that special person.
