Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Utica, South Dakota

Congrats on the "new" 1948 project car. :) One of the first manual trans cars I learned to drive on was a 1950 Chevy Deluxe which had been passed down for years in the family. I remember asking what the heck vacuum wipers were... Found a post for a two-tone Fleetmaster in the Columbus CL and a sharp street rod Fleetmaster in the Utica area. Looks like fun stuff...post some pics after it comes home.

I got a quote on Civic LX coupe. Dealer in Utica, NY MSRP:19155 Selling price: 17982 which included all the paper work fee. RV 11,159 Monthly payment 249 tax included with 1000 down payment. I realize that it is quite expensive lease. What would be the reasonable price, which number should I negotiate with the dealer? Any advice would be appreciated. MF 0.00127 RF 61% I was told that the number 16480 is not realistic, is that true? Thank you in advance.

Well, picked up the vehicle tonight, have 16 miles on it (mpg per computer 25.2) Just joking about the mileage as I have seen so many posts people claiming high, or low mileage based on just a few miles. However, tomorrow, I will take a trip from home (near Providence, RI) to out between Albany & Utica, NY, when I get home tomorrow evening should have added approx 450 miles & will know what mpg I got at least on the first tankfull. I will miss my Altima Hybrid as with the 20 gallon tank could easily go well over 600 miles (once 690) Hoping with this vehicle to average 26 or so, with 17 gallon tank if I run it almost dry expect around 425 miles. Will report back tomorrow. Best thing so far.... The bluetooth works much better on this car than it did in the Altima. I could hear fine both vehicles, but the mike on the Nissan must have been up near the rear view mirror & picked up too much background noise, mike on this mounded right on top of steering wheel. I believe I have earned more Subaru bucks than just about anyone out there. Since I purchased 05 Outback in Dec 04, I have earned over $6000 in Subaru bucks. This is a true story. I travel for work and although get many expenses reimbursed, use the Subaru cards for most other purchases (except for drug stores, supermarkets and gas stations where there are plenty of cards that pay 5%). I have three cards that I rotate during the year and after I max out one card go to another. In fact, in purchasing this car today, gave $1000 deposit on my card, then paid for extended warranty ($1295) with it. That;s $2300 so already earned $69 for the 3% back. I used 12 Subaru bucks for the purchase today so you can see I am well on my way to getting more. I figure major services for this vehicle will be around $600 - $700 for the year (I drive around 30 - 35k per year so one minor service at 15,000 and a major one at 30,000) I will easily earn enough "bucks" to pay for these services when they are due. This way I will have dealer provide all maintenance, thus "tires for life" and double the powertrain warranty. Big deal if I pay a few more dollars for the oil changes.

gooch - Its a Hess station located in Brooklyn on Utica avenue. I guess Hess stations get their gas from the same supplier which would explain your bad mpg.

just joined and love readind the messages here! I am looking to get a 2009 limited 4cylinder with nav and know exactly what i want. I have been doing my homework and know I kinda got screwed when i was younger and bought my first car and want to get the best deal I can now. I see that on edmonds the invoice is at around $24,791. Should my first step to buying the car be trying to contact the fleet manager, do most people agree this is the best way and how did the conversation go down on the phone? Also has anyone ever emailed their dealership and stated what they wanted and were willing to spend, is this a good idea or stick with the phone? I live in upstate NY, utica area, so if anyone has any dealership stories from around me that would be great thanks!
