New used owner. Boston MA

Postby oreogaborio » Sun Feb 13, 2011 1:24 pm

What up guys? My name's Pete & I'm from Boston, MA area.

I test drove an '05 SE 4x4 two days ago,
Signed the paperwork yesterday
Drive it home tomorrow. :)

I did a little bit of research on here and it sounds like one of these should fit me nicely.
I'm pumped to drive it home & start puttin some miles on it.

I'll be using is mostly for commuting (borrrring) but also to haul my bikes to & from the race track (boring, but for the purpose of fun 8) ).

Here she is:
05 Silverton Blue SE 4x4
Single owner, female owned & very clean
85k easy miles


Can't wait to bring er home!

Thanks, guys. I brought it home yesterday & I'm lovin it already :)

I was pleasantly surprised when I got to cruising speed on the highway (75... *cough* uh, I mean 65) and hit the reset button on the MPG display. I averaged right around 21mpg on the highway.

When I got off the highway I reset it again & did another 10 miles or so of back roads at 40-45mpg and it read almost 24mpg. I was pretty happy with that! Even if it's a bit optimistic, it's miles above my Lincoln LS which was running TERRIBLY and getting horrible gas mileage. But at 263k miles I wasn't gonna put a dime into it.

Anyway... off to work. I'll post my funny dealership story later. You guys are gonna get a kick outta this one :wink:
