Hi Everyone,
Just bought a 2017 Cruze on President's Day, with 8 miles on it, with a 542 Equifax/509 Trans Union FICO Beacon 09 Auto and $1220 down factoring trade-in '01 Buck Lesabre. Tool purchase for Uber fares. Had been relegated to Uber Eats due to the age of the Buick. $250 Hard Cash down, $970 '01 Buick Lesabre trade-in, 9.7% APR, $350 / Month, 73 Months, Fixed Interest through GM Financial, First new car. STRING of junkers before this.
Just over 1000 miles now. Followed 200 & 500 break-ins as much as practicable. Running great less the deposited sand from Uber fares (Clearwater Beach.)
Bought the extended Bumper-to-Bumper warranty, 3/36 to 6/72 for $111 x 18 months.
The GM Stage Kit, for $995 + $130/hr Dealership Time, looks attractive (10+ Horsepower, 2.75" Exhaust) as I haven't gone over 4,500 RPM per the manual; and don't plan to but once (racing my best friend's 2015 VW Golf Sport Wagon w/ Turbo from a dead stop.) Looking to NOT do anything that voids the Warranty.
The $375 Sport Suspension Kit also looks attractive. There also seems to be a Brake Kit for around $1,000. Not certain yet whether the Suspension and Brake Kits listed are for the 2016.5 Cruze that I bought,
Any advice from 1,0xx miles?
Cheers.
