Well I flew up to Long Island and picked it up Sunday. Got it home around 9 pm and it just turned 15,000 miles. Have to say I love it. Looks great; is in great condition, and has a wrap until August 31, 2021. $5 degrees tonight and I was out testing it out with the top down. Too bad there is so much tech to lesrn on this thing....remember I'm used to driving a 2002 Silverado. Gotta love the bluetooth; the Sirius radio; the power, the look. Thanks for the help and the push, gentlemen.
She's a beauty!! The color is gorgeous!
6MT or 7AT?
She must have been a garage queen with so few miles.
Coming from pretty much any almost-20-yo car will be a huge upgrade in every aspect. While the verts aren't fast, they are definitely quick. Definitely quick enough for some healthy and mostly legal fun.
And BT connection in this car is rather crappy. It works .. eventually .. but slow to connect, can be a pain to pair to, etc.
@OCMD - rent a newer car with BT in it and see the difference. Even in my toyota it's an instant connection and a lot of features/apps come straight from the phone. Go back to the vert is a pain in that aspect.
GET A WARRANTY ON IT NOW!! The verts are expensive to fix!! I've had mine for 2 years and it's been in the shop 3 times. The car itself is great but the top is a pain! Mine has leaked since I bought it and yesterday one of the cords snapped on the headliner. The fabric headliner is $1800 just for the part!! I have a real love/hate relationship with this car!
So why won't my roof retract (go down)???? It worked flawlessly my first week. Could it be because it is below freezing today? Yikes....problem right off the bat? Or operator error? Got the warning "trunk open." So I shut the trunk. Still won't open. Then I did the "re-set" in the owner's manual. Then is started to open, but wouldn't complete the opening. But it did "shut." Guess I'm going to a dealer soon and I don't even have my MD tags on it yet! Unless someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. Again, it worked flawlessly last week.
Sorry to hear of your issues already and too bad on yours too Lashk, hopefully the dealer can get it ironed out or explain the procedure if it's something you're doing.
G/L and keep us posted
Eek. I think something in the manual did say that it won't open below certain temps, but I don't remember what it was exactly.
From other posts I did notice that if you start opening it while something else is preventing it (trunk, windows), then it'll get messed up and will need a reset. Some people were able to fix it with a full cycle, but doesn't seem to always work.
Sorry for the delay in replying, 3 deaths recently in the fam and friend zone. Anyway, I am an idiot. I take the car to the dealer. Treated great "Here is your loaner" and I head back to my office. Leave office in 90 minutes and receive a call "your car is ready and you will slap yourself." WTF? Turns out the wheel lug nut lock fell out of it's storage bag, and found its resting place in some sort of support hole. The sensors would not let rook operate. What a dumbass. Better yet, what a relief. Top has worked flawlessly. I love this car and have already put 1500 miles on it, taking me over the 16000 mile mark. Quick question, is there something I can rub or spray onto the rubber molding that is visible when the top is down? I want to keep it as fresh and water resistant as possible, but don't want to put the wrong type product on it. You know, keep it pliable, etc. Thanks!
