For you mechanics - Engine Compression Numbers:
I bought this car from a dealership who told me it was not the original engine. I did not verify if that was the case or not - but if it is the original engine she's got great compression numbers and runs very strong. It may have sat for a year or so and was not in the best of condition. The E-brake wasn't working so I took it apart and fixed that. She isn't the strongest e-brake but she does work. The car came lowered and honestly drove horrible. I put stock springs on, got an alignment and four used, but decent treaded tires put on. She drives straight, and nice now. Truly I find myself driving a bit like an a-hole because she's light, small and nimble. The underside of the car was coated in fluid. So I traced the leakage and replaced the valve cover gasket and fixed a power steering reservoir leak. The car's underside, after driving it daily, has been completely dry now. Her AC system was not working when I bought it, the AC condenser was broken. So I replaced that with a new condenser and she blows nice and cold. The O2 sensor was not functioning, so I replaced that as well and now the car drives great and strong with no check engine lights. As far as appearance... I shampooed, and steam cleaned the carpets and the seats. I added smoked tail lights and corner lights. I did this because the tail light assemblies were goofed up and things weren't making proper contact. Also, there is a section between the trunk lid and the rear bumper that had rusted. I bought a new piece to put on there, but it needs to be painted. I have not gotten around to doing that yet but the piece will come with the car. The front bumper didn't have the grill in it and was flaking. So I bought a new one, which will come with the car. It just needs to be painted as well. There was a big dent in the passenger side rear quarter panel (as seen in the pictures). This dent has been pulled, but is not perfect. I figured I'd make it perfect when I had the other pieces painted but haven't gotten to that point yet. The seats are cracked - very common for the dove grey interior - and the stitching on the drives seat bolster has separated. None of the leather is ripped though. As far as condition... If you decide to buy the car, she's ready to drive immediately. Power windows, power door locks, sunroof, heated seats, windshield wipers, turn signals, head lights, high beams, climate control, etc all work. With that said though, she could use a little TLC in the following areas. She could use some updated suspension work. And the exhaust has a very small leak. She could use new fog light bulbs, rear stereo speakers, and the cruise control system doesn't work. The ABS light comes on and I believe that to be because of a faulty wheel speed sensor... or maybe its just dirty. The shifter is a little sloppy. I am unfamiliar with how it works, so I was not able to trace down the failure. I do drive her quite a bit these days. She's got really nice pickup and averages 27 miles per gallon (hwy and city combined). She starts right up and goes without issue, stuttering, etc. Might be running slightly rich for a second on startup but does great. The dealership said their were bigger injectors installed - and I don't believe there are.

These are your top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012
Mon, Jan 7 2013Despite 2012 being the best year of auto sales this country has seen since 2007, not every vehicle got an equally large share of the sales pie. Some barely got a sliver, as evidenced by this year's list of the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. We've dug through sales data from every automaker to come up with this year's list and, like last year, we've set some parameters to ensure it includes legitimately bad-selling vehicles. The first parameter is a starting MSRP under $100,000, which automatically excludes what's parked in most one-percenters' garages. We're also excluding vehicles cancelled in 2012, even if they garnered sales through the end of the year while dealerships sold off remaining inventory. This includes models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and last year's worst-seller, the Acura RL. Next, vehicles are considered as they are reported by the automaker, which means that, while sales of the Murano CrossCabriolet were probably low enough to make the list, because Nissan reports only one number for all Murano sales, it was excluded. Cadillac, however, reports sales of the Escalade EXT separately from the Escalade, hence its repeat appearance. Finally, there was the question of whether or not eligibility should be given to Suzuki vehicles, as the brand announced in November that it would end sales in the US as soon as its current inventory ran out. We decided Suzuki vehicles should be included as the brand was offering 2013 models at the time of the announcement, and as far as we can tell, inventory levels remained high enough to satisfy demand through the end of the year. Without further ado, below are the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles of 2012 10. Volvo C30 MSRP: $25,500 Units Sold: 2,827 Last Year: – 9. BMW Z4 MSRP: $47,350 Units Sold: 2,751 Last Year: – 8. Audi TT MSRP: $39,545 Units Sold: 2,226 Last Year: – 7. Subaru Tribeca MSRP: $32,595 Units Sold: 2,075 Last Year: 10 6. Suzuki Equator MSRP: $19,449 Units Sold: 1,966 Last Year: 7 5. Cadillac Escalade EXT MSRP: $63,060 Units Sold: 1,934 Last Year: 6 4. Nissan GT-R MSRP: $96,820 Units Sold: 1,188 Last Year: – 3. Acura ZDX MSRP: $50,920 Units Sold: 775 Last Year: 4 2. Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback MSRP: $18,495 Units Sold: 702 Last Year: 3 1.

Mercedes fights off late BMW surge to claim 2013 luxury sales crown
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The king is dead - long live the king. Mercedes-Benz is now your new US sales champion in the fiercely competitive luxury market, deposing the champ BMW, which has enjoyed annual supremacy for the past two years.
Thanks in no small part to the dynamite launch of the new, affordable CLA-Class, not to mention a redesigned E-Class and hot-selling S-Class, Mercedes moved 33,007 units in December alone, while sales in 2013 were up 14 percent, to 312,534. BMW, meanwhile, managed to sell 309,280 units in 2013. It was far from a sure thing for the Stuttgart-based brand, though, as BMW managed to nearly halve its rival's sales lead heading into the last month of 2013.
"We saw record sales, flexed our muscles across the entire product line from top to bottom and brought the customer experience to an all-time high," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes USA's CEO. While we don't have individual figures, it seems at first blush that the CLA was really the car that pushed Mercedes over the top.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer getting third row
Sat, 23 Aug 2014In what enthusiasts will likely see as a continued attempt to dilute the BMW brand, the German manufacturer is testing a three-row variant of its already controversial 2 Series Active Tourer. Our trusty spy photographers captured images of the new, front-drive MPV testing on the roads of Europe.
The easiest way to ID this more passenger friendly 2er is its slightly longer length, which will allow it to accommodate seven people in total. As our spies point out, this should make the 2AT an attractive proposition for European taxi companies. Yep, BMW built a car that will be praised by taxi drivers. On top of the extra seats, the rear overhang appears larger as well, which should mean extra cargo space.
This, of course, is not the first time we've captured images of a new 2AT variant undergoing testing. Back in May, we spotted a hybrid-powered variant out for a drive.
