Missconception thread.


>Brake rotors do not warp.
They build up debris, which causes uneven wear. This can be caused by poorly greased slide pins, jerky pads, bad wheel bearings, or other loose components. They can crack.

>Semi trucks dont throw rocks at your windshield.
While the wheel diameter is larger on a truck, they travel at much slower speed, their rubber compound is harder, and 95% of trucks have mudflaps, while regular cars do not.
Cars travel faster, and have sticker tires which are more prone to catch, and throw rocks. Unless you drive behind a gravel truck

>Rotaries are unreliable
While Wankle engines have their faults, if you properly take care of it, it wont have issues. Wankle engines are great because its almost impossible for them to have a catastrophic failure. Even if all the apex seals go out, the engine will still run, albeit have shit compression. This is why many small aircraft use Wankle.

I have $8k to spend. I want either a clean BMW E39 or some kind of comfy as fuck Mercedes. What is a better option? This would be my daily but I do have a Ford Ranger that I might keep or sell.

Anyways, I don't know if this is blasphemy or not but new jeeps seemed to be WAY overpriced??? At least where I live (socal) they are charging absolutely crazy prices for all the bloated options, for example:

$1,200 - Power windows, door locks, and mirrors aka "Convenience package". What I want to know is why doesn't this come standard like every other vehicle? Personally I'd never consider buying a vehicle that doesn't have power windows and door locks.

$2,000 for a navigation package - Really? My Galaxy S5 Android phone does for free.

$495 for "Deep tint sunscreen windows" - I had all 5 windows on my Tundra professionally tinted for $200.

$800 for a "Mopar appearance package" - some tube steps, tail light guards, and a black gas cap cover. Are these items plated in black gold?

$495 for 3.73 or 4.10 gears - I understand this used to be a $50 option a few years ago, now its ten times more expensive to install gears?

$2,800 - Relating to the sport model, the "Sport package" which comes with air conditioning (what new vehicle doesn't have A/C?) and ugly wheels and tires. This entire package is a complete rip off.

Anyways its getting so that a Rubicon with what should be standard options is MSRPing at $39,000

Sorry for venting but I was getting so pumped learning about jeeps and really excited to get my first jeep, but it seems like Chrysler is way behind the times and has an aweful product pricing model, enough so that its dissuading me from buying. The build quality on these cars is questionable to begin with and 40k for a 2-door jeep is just insane. There are a lot of other vehicle options for that kind of cash. Furthermore I'm only seeing dealer discounts of $1500-3000 on a lot of these vehicles. Are prices high because people are financing 90% of new jeep purchases so they only care about the monthly payment? (I'm paying cash btw).

Are there any methods for getting steeper MSRP discounts on 2014 jeeps?
