Marylanders R calling You OUT!
Dont mean to sound like a dick but i cant even begin to explain how wrong of a statement that is. Carmax makes a set $1500 profit on all new nissans and $3000 profit on all used vehicles. A good negotiator can get a much better deal at ANY dealership. Just tryin to help carmax just has everyone brainwashed
I have a question for countrySS, since you're a GM mechanic, is the tensioner for our cars a "self adjusting" tensioner? The dealer that has my car told me that I am not supposed to be able to move it by hand and that it is fine. I have never heard of this and how the hell do you get the belt on and off if they are right? When I did all my mods I just angled the supercharger and popped the belt on that way but I know it's not right. Never go to Ken Dixon Chevy in Waldorf, terrible mechanice, they take FOREVER to do anything and they never call you back even after 4 calls into them. They told me one day to do a dipstick tube and that was monday, they are "pretty sure" it will be done today....wtf is that??

The accessory belt. If it doesn't move then how are we supposed to change belts when the time comes? The only way I could get my stage 2 belt on was to pull the supercharger back off, put the belt on then angle it down and bolt it back on. Only takes 5 minutes to get it off but there should be a better way.

ilovecars WTF why would you come here and not ask for me IMO your the tool not the dealer
The only reason I keep going back to them is because they fucked it up before I voided the warranty with my mods and I didn't want to get stuck paying for it. I just wanted to make sure that the tensioner was ok and they weren't blowing smoke up my ass.
What is your car lowered on? Thats exactly how low I want my car to sit!!
