This is the home of straight talk and honest answers
01:34
about everything automotive.
01:37
Jerry Reynolds is the CarPro, and he lets you know exactly
01:40
what goes on in the car dealership,
01:42
because he ran his own for 35 years.
01:44
He also test drives about 100 cars a year.
01:48
His partner is Todd Chambliss.
01:50
Rumor has it, he's where the voice got its name.
01:54
So let's get to helping you now on the CarPro show.
01:59
Well, hi there, welcome to the CarPro show.
02:01
Yeah, we're here at the last weekend of the month.
02:05
The incentives are ending on Tuesday.
02:08
The dealers are eager to put some cars in people's driveways
02:13
and that's what we are talking about today.
02:16
I will tell you that the timing is great right now
02:19
to get yourself a bargain.
02:21
The business in the car world has been off
02:25
a little bit the last couple of weeks.
02:27
So the dealers have really gotta hit some numbers,
02:30
especially today and tomorrow for those dealers
02:34
who are open on Sundays in those states
02:38
where that's legal, it's not in a lot of them,
02:40
but for you friends in California, you've got till tomorrow
02:46
and then the incentives run through Monday and Tuesday.
02:49
So the push is on right now.
02:51
And I'm always the guy that will tell you
02:53
when it's a good time to buy
02:55
and I'll tell you when it's not a good time to buy.
02:58
And I will tell you that right now is
03:00
the best time I've seen this year.
03:02
And that's due to increased incentives
03:05
that we saw all week long.
03:07
All the manufacturers upped them
03:08
because business hasn't been off the last couple of weeks.
03:11
So they upped the incentives
03:13
to help the dealers sell more cars
03:14
between now and Tuesday.
03:17
You can take advantage of that.
03:18
It's a buyer's market right now.
03:20
Let's talk, 800-926-7777-800-926, 7777-7777, I don't take
03:31
mechanical questions, but tell me
03:33
what you're thinking about doing.
03:35
I'll tell you if I think that's a good idea,
03:37
I may offer another suggestion,
03:40
or I may just tell you, yeah, that's a great idea.
03:42
Now's the time to pull the trigger.
03:45
We know for sure, and if you're a newsletter subscriber,
03:48
you know for sure that car prices
03:50
are gonna go way up when the 2026s get here.
03:54
I've seen cases already of $5,000 increases
03:58
on vehicles that haven't changed,
04:01
but the tariffs are starting to really take effect.
04:05
You can beat them if you do something now.
04:08
800-926-7777, Todd Jambliss.
04:14
How are we doing, sir?
04:16
And on the earlier show in Dallas, Fort Worth,
04:18
you said something that really got my attention.
04:21
You said you would recommend people getting a car
04:25
right now, especially this weekend,
04:27
rather than waiting till the end of the year.
04:30
Yep, and I've always said December's the time,
04:33
but the auto manufacturers are bleeding right now.
04:40
These tariffs have really hit them,
04:41
and they've done their best to hold the price,
04:43
but as the third quarter financial results come out
04:48
at the end of September,
04:50
it'll actually be early in October,
04:52
but there's gonna be red ink with manufacturers.
04:57
They're taking it hard right now.
05:00
They're gonna have to make that money up
05:02
in the fourth quarter.
05:04
That means reduced incentives, typically.
05:07
That means that dealers are probably gonna pull back
05:13
on what they order, and that's not good,
05:17
because that diminishes the selection that you have,
05:21
and we're used to seeing the dealers loaded up
05:24
in inventory going into December.
05:27
There's a lot of uncertainty right now,
05:29
and we don't know what's gonna happen.
05:32
We've never dealt with this before.
05:34
We've seen some real trying times
05:37
in the auto industry over the past few years,
05:39
but we've never seen tariffs like this before.
05:42
Now, all that could change.
05:44
I mean, we know for a fact that yesterday,
05:47
a federal judge ruled that these tariffs are not legal,
05:53
or some of them are not legal.
05:55
That's gonna go to the Supreme Court.
05:57
I suspect they'll take that on as a topic very quickly,
06:03
whether they'll uphold it or not.
06:05
The president seems to think that they will.
06:08
That he'll be fine there,
06:10
so it'll probably go on,
06:12
and if so, if you're a self-employed or a business owner
06:18
and you wanna take advantage of tax code 179,
06:22
the selection this December may not be what you expect,
06:25
and it might be a good time right now
06:28
to go ahead and pull the trigger,
06:29
especially if you got a trade in,
06:31
because the trade market is really high.
06:33
The auction this week was through the roof again.
06:36
So everything's lined up.
06:38
The incentives, there's 0% out there.
06:40
There's big rebates, everything.
06:42
On the line right now.
06:44
Let's go to the phones, Todd.
06:45
Let's talk to Mike, Redondo Beach, California.
06:49
Welcome to the Car Pro Show.
06:55
I've got a question.
06:56
I'm not a, don't drive a lot,
06:58
but I do take occasional road trips so longer,
07:02
and so I'm looking for a more comfortable ride,
07:05
smoother, quieter ride.
07:07
So I'm looking at Alexis,
07:09
but someone mentioned to me the Toyota Crown Signia
07:13
as an alternative to Alexis.
07:17
I loved it when I reviewed it.
07:19
I thought it was great, you know?
07:20
It was, and you can look at my review,
07:23
go to carpro.com, Mike,
07:25
up in the search box at the top.
07:29
Just put Signia in there.
07:31
It'll pull right up.
07:32
You know, I laughed because the talk
07:38
with everybody was that,
07:41
well, it looks like a station wagon.
07:43
Well, it kinda does,
07:46
but it's not a station wagon.
07:49
It's an SUV, officially,
07:51
and the ride, the drive,
07:54
what I really loved was the way it sets up.
07:59
It sets up, and the Crown sedan's the same way.
08:04
It sets up really high,
08:05
which makes the ease of getting in and out of it
08:11
And the drive was great.
08:14
The interior quietness was great.
08:16
Had plenty of power.
08:19
Got great gas mileage with this thing.
08:22
I think it's a great,
08:23
I think it's certainly something I'd put on your list
08:28
For those people who don't wanna go all the way
08:30
to a real true crossover SUV,
08:34
it's a great alternative,
08:36
because it gives you a little more of the car
08:39
ride and drive than an SUV typically does.
08:44
I do like the fact it has more cargo space
08:46
than several of the Lexus SUVs.
08:49
Which is important down the road.
08:51
Yep, those back seats fold down.
08:53
It's comparable, so the ride is comparable
08:56
to a Lexus, you would say.
08:58
I'd say every bit as good as the Lexus.
09:03
Yeah, I mean, it's really car-like.
09:09
I've been surprised.
09:10
It hasn't been the big seller that I predicted it would be.
09:16
And I don't know why.
09:17
I mean, the one that I reviewed,
09:19
I think was in the low 50s,
09:22
which today for something that's got a lot of room
09:25
and gets great gas mileage is a super goodbye.
09:29
So I've got some good Toyota dealers
09:31
in Southern California.
09:32
If you go to carpro.com again,
09:34
put Cygnia in the search box
09:37
and near the top, click on find a certified
09:39
car pro dealer to me and they'll take good care of you.
09:43
Mike, happy Labor Day.
09:47
It's possible to buy a gray car,
09:49
but it's not great for how you drive.
09:52
Let Jerry Reynolds help you.
09:54
Call the car pro show now at 1-800-926-7777.
10:00
And welcome back to the car pro show.
10:01
Jerry Reynolds is the car pro.
10:03
I'm Ty Chambliss and every single week without fail,
10:06
the newsletter comes out.
10:08
It is chock full of information
10:10
that you're going to want to read.
10:11
A lot of it you might need.
10:13
If you're thinking of making a change in your vehicle,
10:16
there are views on there.
10:17
There's information on there.
10:19
There's a lot of information on there.
10:21
There's a lot of information on there.
10:23
There's a lot of information on there.
10:25
There's a lot of information on there.
10:27
There are views on there.
10:28
There's information about the tariffs.
10:30
And of course, that's an ever-changing thing
10:33
And with all the news out there
10:34
in the automotive world, Jerry spends countless hours,
10:39
probably till late at night,
10:41
probably burning the midnight oil,
10:43
getting this newsletter ready to go.
10:45
And it came out Thursday this week
10:46
because of the holiday.
10:48
So if you are not a subscriber, it's free.
10:51
It's not full of ads.
10:52
You're not going to have your address sold
10:54
to in a big giant list of people.
10:56
You don't have to worry about that.
10:58
If you go to the bottom of that page,
11:00
there's a way for you to sign up and you can do so.
11:03
And you can get the latest newsletter sent to you
11:06
And then every week thereafter, typically Friday,
11:09
you'll get the brand new newsletter.
11:11
So you should join up.
11:13
Todd, this morning, before we started the Dallas show,
11:17
was telling me about a video that he found
11:20
that was going to be his video of the week next week.
11:22
And he was so excited.
11:24
I've already got the next one ready.
11:26
And I said, I've kind of already got that one.
11:30
You already picked that one for next week.
11:33
But yours this week was number three quick.
11:35
Number three, not bad.
11:37
Of course, mine was number one.
11:39
Number one, of course, you're a Hall of Famer.
11:42
Most clicked on thing in the newsletter,
11:44
the review of the Audi SQ8 Prestige.
11:49
Oh, I loved that thing.
11:50
It's a nice vehicle.
11:52
And I had a new survey that shows
11:55
Lexus and Subaru owners are super happy.
12:00
I'm shocked by that.
12:01
I recommend them all the time here on the show.
12:04
I've got a rare line open if you want to grab it right now.
12:07
Here's the number 800-926-7777-800-926-7777.
12:17
We welcome Davis from Temple, Texas to the show.
12:22
How can I help you?
12:25
Hello there, Jerry.
12:26
How are you doing today?
12:28
Holiday weekend, man.
12:32
A few years, but this second time I've talked to you,
12:35
we're looking to trade it.
12:37
2012 Buick Enclave for a new maybe
12:44
same size Chevy Traverse, I think it is.
12:49
Yeah, I just wanted to see what you thought about the engine.
12:54
I love the Traverse.
12:56
I recommend it all the time when people are looking
13:00
for three row SUVs.
13:01
The Traverse, the Explorer, and Highlander are my three
13:06
most recommended SUVs unless people want to go up
13:11
to the luxury lines and then we start talking Lexus
13:14
and Cadillac and the Lincoln and those sort of things.
13:19
But the Traverse, for the money, it's probably one
13:23
of the best buys out there.
13:26
Fuel economy is good.
13:28
The features are outstanding in the thing.
13:31
And it's one of the rare mid-sized three row SUVs,
13:36
Davis, that has not only good third row seat room,
13:41
but it also has good cargo room behind the third row seat.
13:45
So typically you're giving up one of the two.
13:48
I don't know how the designers at General Motors did it,
13:52
but they did a great job with that.
13:55
Quality, top notch, never heard of an issue with them.
13:59
Incentives are good through Tuesday.
14:03
And I can hook you up at Classic Chevy in Dallas
14:06
if you want to get a deal on one.
14:11
Yeah, that was my next question.
14:13
We're in Central Texas, but not too far away
14:16
from Classic Chevy, there in Dallas,
14:20
which is where I'd went before for an SS Chevy in 2017.
14:25
You still got that?
14:30
How'd you get rid of that?
14:39
It's a sad story, I'm sure.
14:42
Anyway, I just wanted to get your take on that
14:46
and who do we talk to at Classic Chevrolet?
14:49
If you go today, talk to Mac Ward,
14:52
he's the general manager.
14:54
Now they're closed Monday.
14:56
Some of our dealers are and they're one of the few
14:58
that are giving their employees off.
15:00
Most everybody else is open
15:02
because they're very eager to sell cars.
15:05
They need to sell cars,
15:07
but Classic's open today and they're open Tuesday
15:11
and incentive run through Tuesday.
15:12
So if you don't go today to talk to Mike,
15:15
talk to Jason Troutman next week.
15:18
He's the general sales manager.
15:20
He's my contact at carpro.com.
15:24
So either one of them.
15:26
But if you can get up there today,
15:27
I'd love for you to meet Mike.
15:29
We've been friends for over 30 years.
15:31
We were competitors much of that time.
15:34
Yet we remained very close friends
15:37
and we're close friends today.
15:39
Talk to him and let him know that I sent you
15:42
and he'll take great care of you.
15:44
Davis, have a happy Labor Day, my friend.
15:47
In every category of car truck,
15:49
there's one that will feel the best for you
15:52
and the car pro Jerry Reynolds will help you find it.
15:54
Call 1-800-926-7777.
15:58
The phone number is 800-926-7777.
16:14
And you can grab one remaining line right now.
16:17
We're on the air for three hours, don't forget.
16:19
So if we're not on in your market for all three hours,
16:22
any time that we sign off, all you gotta do
16:25
is go to carpro.com and click listen live.
16:29
Right now we go to Huntington Beach to talk to Bruce.
16:32
Bruce, welcome, how can I help you?
16:35
Howdy, I purchased a new RAM from McPeaks and Orange.
16:41
March 31st to take advantage of the incentives.
16:46
And the financial guy pushed me
16:48
into a service contract.
16:49
It's about $150 a month and I didn't want.
16:53
Is there any way I can recover that?
16:54
Sure, you can cancel it.
16:56
Now you won't get all the money back
16:59
but you'll get the unused portion,
17:01
which you've used, or you've had benefit of it.
17:06
March, April, May, June, July, August.
17:09
Had benefit but I have not used it yet.
17:11
Yeah, but you've had, if you needed it, you had it.
17:14
So they're gonna pro rate the warranty
17:19
to what you paid minus five months worth of use.
17:25
And then they'll send that money to the lender
17:29
who up to money in the first place,
17:32
they fronted the money, so it's gonna go to them.
17:35
What they're gonna do is put it on the back of the lease
17:39
and that'll let you skip the last four or five payments
17:44
or whatever it works out mathematically to be.
17:47
But yes, you certainly can.
17:49
And if you don't want it
17:50
and you don't think you're gonna buy the truck
17:52
at the end of the lease,
17:54
then I would do that.
17:55
If you think you might buy the truck, I'd think about it.
18:00
I will probably trade this in
18:01
in a couple of years for a newer one.
18:03
Then I would cancel it.
18:09
That help? Thank you.
18:11
Okay, you'll probably have to do it in writing.
18:14
Most dealers require that and send them a note.
18:19
You can do it in an email if you want to
18:22
but make sure that it's acknowledged
18:25
that they've received it just in case
18:27
and tell them you wanna cancel your warranty,
18:30
give them the VIN number, give them your date of purchase,
18:32
give them the current mileage.
18:35
In fact, it's best to take a picture of the mileage
18:37
and send that in with your email if you email.
18:42
And they'll get it processed.
18:43
It usually takes about 10 days.
18:46
I appreciate the call, my friend.

["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
20:09
Welcome back to The Car Pros show
20:11
with Jerry Reynolds, The Car Pro.
20:12
I'm Todd Chambliss, The Newsletter.
20:14
We talked about a little bit of go
20:16
every single week, lots of great information.
20:19
One thing that's very popular, the Quick Shifts,
20:22
which is Jerry's take on some of the top stories
20:24
in the auto industry, always some interesting stuff.
20:28
There's a story about the Volkswagen owners
20:31
of some of the electric cars who were pushing back
20:33
because of all the issues they're having
20:35
with capacitive touch buttons
20:37
and all kinds of mishaps.
20:39
Come on, Rex, one guy got hurt, he's suing.
20:43
These are ID for owners who are having a problem
20:46
with that Volkswagen, I guess they're pledging
20:48
to go back to the regular buttons after all this is said.
20:51
Yeah, and I hope the automakers learn a lesson with that.
20:56
Cause I write it in my reviews a lot.
20:58
Give me a volume button, give me a channel knob
21:04
so I can change the radio station
21:06
without having to go through five screens to get it.
21:10
Yeah, if you're having to fight a computer system
21:12
and figure out the fancy schmancy entertainment system
21:16
just to be able to turn your radio up and down,
21:18
then that's a problem.
21:18
Well, that was one of the things that I wrote about
21:20
in yesterday's newsletter is we got a holiday weekend
21:25
coming up, there's gonna be a bunch of drunk drivers around.
21:28
I talked about in my advice column was a reminder
21:34
that when there's emergency people pulled over
21:38
on the side of the road,
21:39
the law says that you've got either change lanes
21:42
to get away from them or slow down to 20 miles per hour
21:45
under the speed limit.
21:47
And it's just, it's scary.
21:50
And then you get in cars like this Volkswagen thing
21:54
where you've got to take your eyes off the road
21:56
to do anything, to change anything,
21:59
to change the temperature in the car
22:02
and you're not looking at the road.
22:04
An accident's happened in split seconds, split seconds.
22:08
That's the, I mean, textbook definition
22:11
of distracted driving.
22:13
Totally, you know, let's go,
22:16
I know everybody's trying to outdo everybody else
22:18
with the big screens and all the, you know,
22:21
things that you can do in a car,
22:23
but maybe it's time to get back to some basics, you know,
22:27
let's think safety for a minute and save some lives.
22:31
And I don't think that's a bad thing.
22:33
If you want to get yesterday's newsletter,
22:36
subscribe today from the bottom of the page,
22:39
you will get yesterday's,
22:41
which was actually came out on Thursday immediately.
22:44
And you can follow along with our weekly recalls.
22:47
We had a couple of big ones.
22:48
If you got a Ford F-150,
22:50
you better look at the recalls
22:52
because you're gonna need to.
22:53
Luckily, this one was, is an easy one
22:57
because it can be done over the air.
23:00
Oh, that's cool actually.
23:01
Yeah, but get it done.
23:04
I mean, don't mess around with it.
23:07
That's one of the things that people do too often
23:10
is they ignore recalls and these are safety recalls.
23:13
There's a reason that they put them out.
23:17
So take advantage of that.
23:18
You can always check to see if your vehicle has recalls
23:21
at nitsa, n-h-t-s-a, dot g-o-v.
23:26
Put your van in, there's a recall it'll pull up
23:29
or check our newsletter.
23:31
Next week's newsletter, we're gonna find out.
23:34
People are gonna find out that you,
23:37
we've got a little bit of a reprieve
23:40
on the $7,500 federal rebate on electric vehicles.
23:48
Well, if you order one before September 30th,
23:53
you can still get to $7,500 when the car comes in.
23:58
So if you're gonna buy it out of inventory,
24:02
you've gotta do it by September 30th.
24:04
But if you order one and you get a order receipt,
24:08
the dealer can apply at that time for the $7,500
24:13
and you'll get that when the car comes in.
24:16
Even if it's weeks later.
24:17
Yeah, even if it's months later.
24:19
Which it will be, if you order an electric car
24:22
because it's just not producing all that many.
24:25
And I can see this being a good thing
24:26
because dealers have, they're not stocking
24:31
as many electric cars as they once did
24:33
because sales are off.
24:35
Although we're seeing a run right now
24:37
because of that $7,500.
24:40
But some people are gonna wanna order
24:41
exactly what they want and I don't blame them.
24:44
Let's go to Houston, talk to Joe.
24:45
Joe, what is happening my friend?
24:49
Well, I'll tell ya, I had my heart set on a Chevy Tahoe
24:56
and this morning, talking to one of my kids,
24:59
he said, why don't you look at the GMC Yukon?
25:03
So now I'm in a jam thinking which is better
25:07
and you are the guy to talk to.
25:09
So what do you think, Jerry?
25:11
Well, I mean, the majority of them are identical.
25:16
You got the same engines, same transmission,
25:20
They look different.
25:22
GMC's got that professional grade look
25:24
with the big bowl grill in the front.
25:29
So you'll get a little slight difference in the suspension.
25:34
The GMC's gonna come with magnetic ride
25:37
which adjusts the suspension like in milliseconds.
25:43
I gotta be honest, I can't tell the difference between them.
25:47
They both ride great.
25:49
To me, you're gonna spend more money on the Yukon.
25:53
You'll get a little more trim inside.
25:57
You know, the seats themselves, I find to be the same.
26:04
You know, it just depends on which one you like,
26:08
the looks of the best and how important the budget is.
26:14
Because not only is the Tahoe less money upfront,
26:19
but the incentives are better on the Tahoe too.
26:22
Now, advantage to the Yukon is down the road.
26:27
The resale value will be better on the GMC.
26:32
And that's because they cost more upfront
26:34
and it's also because there are fewer on the market
26:38
used on any given day.
26:40
Because Tahoe outsells Yukon eight to 10 to one.
26:44
So, you know, if somebody's looking for a used Yukon,
26:49
then there's not as many out there and they bring more.
26:54
So, you know, now, if you're gonna keep them five years
26:57
or more, take resale out of the picture.
27:03
It probably will be the case.
27:06
At Chevy, what should I be looking for
27:07
as far as incentives on the weekend here?
27:10
You know, if there's still some 2024s left,
27:14
they've got 0% financing on those.
27:19
And I think if there are some 2024s,
27:21
there's probably few and far between.
27:24
But with the 2025s, there's some rebates out there on them
27:30
that will vary by the trim code on the vehicle.
27:34
So, you know, I mean, if I were getting a Tahoe,
27:38
I'd probably want the high country.
27:40
I think they're absolutely gorgeous.
27:42
But some people like the LTZ looks
27:45
because you get a little bigger tire and wheel.
27:47
But the interior of the high country for me
27:52
I mean, it's gorgeous.
27:55
Yeah, I was looking at the Z71 trim.
27:59
Which just had a nice outside look to it.
28:02
The inside seems pretty similar.
28:06
And the Z71 is a nice package.
28:11
That's probably what I would get if I were getting one.
28:13
I would certainly get four-wheel drive.
28:16
And if it were me, are you telling anything?
28:21
If it were me, I would probably suggest
28:25
that you do get the four-wheel drive.
28:29
I think they drive better, certainly better for resale
28:31
even 10 years from now.
28:34
And then when you get that rare,
28:37
inclement weather in Texas, it's nice to have.
28:41
But the main thing is they drive better.
28:43
I got great dealers for both at carpro.com.
28:45
That car that looks so good in the TV commercial,
28:48
may be the worst car for you.

Get free advice from Jerry Reynolds, the car pro
29:00
["Jerry Reynolds The Car Pro"]
29:10
Well, every single week, Jerry gets to a test drive,
29:13
couple of cars, always posts the review
29:15
and the newsletter.
29:16
You can find a couple in this newsletter
29:18
that came out on Thursday.
29:19
But this week, your drive, well, my wife has a Bronco
29:23
and loves her Bronco, but you were driving
29:25
a different kind of Bronco.
29:27
A very different kind of Bronco.
29:29
I have the 2025 Bronco Strobe Edition.
29:35
The Strobe Edition.
29:37
So Strobe is a fella's name.
29:40
Bill Strobe was the king of Baja Racing
29:44
back in the early 70s.
29:46
Didn't I know that?
29:49
he was the Carol Shelby of Off-Road Racing.
29:54
You gotta have somebody like that.
29:55
And he worked with Ford.
29:56
They built a Strobe Edition.
29:59
I think 70 and 71 Bronco looks identical to this,
30:03
although the Broncos at that time were smaller.
30:07
But it's red from about the door handles down.
30:11
It's white above that and it's got a blue top.
30:15
Which sounds crazy.
30:17
But it's not, somehow it works.
30:19
It's really eye-catching.
30:21
It's a serious off-roader.
30:24
Now, the downside to this thing is it's a two door.
30:29
Because the originals were two doors
30:31
and this is paying tribute to the 70 bottle that came out.
30:36
So, you know, getting into the back seat to real issue.
30:41
It's hard to get in back there.
30:43
You lose some of the wheel base that you get
30:46
I asked one of my dealers.
30:48
I wasn't sure because they're only building 1966 of these.
30:53
Oh, interesting, okay.
30:54
And if you wanna see a picture of it,
30:55
you can go to our Facebook page.
30:57
I posted it earlier this week.
30:59
Scroll down a little bit.
31:03
The interesting thing was I asked this dealer of mine
31:06
in Dallas, are these things selling?
31:12
The collectors would jump on.
31:16
So, is it because of the two door?
31:18
Is it because of the color?
31:20
Or is it the price?
31:21
It's likely the price.
31:24
77,000 on the winter sticker.
31:27
And the dealer posed this question to me.
31:31
He said, you've reviewed the Raptor Bronco, right?
31:35
Oh, yeah, holy cow, what a beast.
31:38
I mean, this thing was amazing.
31:40
It's just an unbelievably engineered SUV.
31:44
And he said, well, you can have a Bronco Raptor
31:46
with four doors for 10 grand more.
31:48
What are you gonna do?
31:51
Yeah, I'm buying the Raptor.
31:52
Yeah, of course you are.
31:55
They're available right now.
31:56
The dealers have them.
31:57
Yeah, those are great.
31:59
You can, and if you look,
32:02
I'll tell you this stroke edition
32:03
has made people's heads turn all week long.
32:07
Oh, you'll get attention for it.
32:09
But it probably wouldn't be for me.
32:12
Sarah, Santa Ana, California, welcome.
32:15
Sarah, what is on your mind, kiddo?
32:28
So I drive about 30,000 miles a year on my cars.
32:32
I have four cars I put in the wild mile.
32:34
I don't have enough, I know, it's ridiculous.
32:37
I don't have enough money to buy premium gas,
32:40
which I would like to, but I don't.
32:42
So my question is, I have two questions.
32:45
One is, does it benefit me at all
32:48
to put premium in once in a while,
32:50
like one out of 10 times, one out of 20 times?
32:53
Or is it so rare one out of 20 or 30 times
32:57
does it make a difference?
32:58
And then my second question is,
33:00
I usually get gas at Sam's Club or ARCO
33:02
because it's the cheapest.
33:05
Is that decent gas?
33:07
Is it not helping my car?
33:08
Yeah, I think it's okay.
33:11
I mean, I think Sam's,
33:13
I've heard of some issues with Sam's gas,
33:17
where people have gotten particularly with diesel,
33:22
where they've gotten a bad batch of diesel.
33:24
Kiddo, putting high octane in,
33:27
unless it's a high horsepower car,
33:30
does no good for you.
33:33
And in some cases, it can actually do harm
33:37
to put over octane in a car, not designed for it.
33:41
So yeah, I think you're okay with Sam's,
33:45
No, don't put high octane in.
33:47
You will get no benefit.

34:31
They talked to Tim, the salesperson.
34:33
Jackson also helped them handle financing.
34:37
Tim introduced us to Jerry Patterson.
34:39
We checked back with us two or three times
34:41
during the process to make sure everything went well.
34:43
They leased to Tacoma.
34:45
Really pleased with it.
34:47
Thank you for your help.
34:49
Jerry takes great care of my lit.
34:51
We had him on the Dallas show this morning.

35:05
Jerry's the guy you want to talk to.
35:07

35:09
Robert was interested in a Toyota Prius
35:11
and he went to Cabe Toyota
35:13
in the Los Angeles area.
35:15
He said, after not getting a response
35:17
from another dealership, contacted Cabe.
35:19
Got an almost immediate email response
35:23
Was only going to check prices and car options
35:25
but decided to buy from Evan that day.
35:27
The purchase went smoothly.
35:29
