To close the loop, final trade offer I received was $47k for a 4BW 6spd no carbon, sport seats, 37k miles and a minor accident on the record.

Was hoping to poll the group on recent quote for trade in my 23 4BW 6spd no carbon, no sunroof. Just shy of 37k miles and I got dealer up to $46k trade. KBB say $48k-$50k but I had a minor accident which they are deducting value for. Is this a reasonable offer in your opinion?

Just did my first oil change after new tires and alignment (7500mi) and it looks like the issue is still persisting. Based on previous posts it seems this is expected, but still sucks to see so much life left on the rest of the tire.

Those tips are rough! To each their own, but it would kill me to have to look at those every day. Much prefer the stock look.

FWIW, I added a can of VP octane booster and that appears to have fixed the issue. Thank you.

I'm having an identical issue after filling up at an Exxon Mobil yesterday. As soon as I started the car after fueling, the engine tone changed. Sounds more like a boxer motor and feels down on power. On the drive home, it's like it would clear up and then come back. No CELs but doesn't feel...

4BW and I get chatter almost always unless I keep the revs around 1k when slipping the clutch. That seems to smooth it out.

The toe was out on the front drivers side which is the photo i attached, however the passenger side front tire was almost as bad.

I know right? Was hoping I could get some more out of them. I do not track the car and it's my daily for a 60 mile mostly highway commute. Rears look pretty good as well.

I’m in the exact same situation. I put my car up in the air last weekend for an oil change and saw the damage. No idea how long I was driving on it like this, so thanking the man upstairs that I’m still here to talk about it. Tires had 27k miles so I probably pushed them too far. Getting new TPC...

Thank you guys, this one is looking pretty hairy. I will give the funnel a shot

I am about to ride out a major hurricane in the Tampa Bay Area. Does anyone know if it’s possible to siphon gas from our Blackwings? Would be nice to have extra fuel available for a generator during an extended power outage.

Best of luck to you in your future endeavors, Dustin. I have a similar decision to make in my life, and admire the courage it takes to walk away. You made my purchase experience smooth and stress free. The guy even helped me apply XPEL track wrap to the front of my car before driving home to...

Thanks for all of the responses. The more I drive, the more I think the alignment is off. This certainly does suck, but i'm trying to remain positive. It could have been way worse and luckily nobody was hurt.

As my wife says, it’s just a car…
