  1. Nice car, Waltk, I have followed you closely, but I kind of understand why you made the move. Trade value is dropping down to nothing, and I wouldn't touch a Spark outside of a 2013. Best of luck with the new Sonic, and to you also.
  2. I really like your setup, I would be interested, as to what your interface was, did you go through the OBD port? What apps did you use? It looks really sharp, and I might give it a shot. Thanks.
  3. I totally understand what you are saying, but my concern is extending the bumper to bumper. When I speak of electronics, I am thinking of the Mylink, power windows, cruise control, power door locks, heated seats, etc. Then we have the a/c, wiper motors, the DIC, and a myriad of problems that can go wrong, and squeeze the wallet until it cries. The factory power train warranty is very basic coverage, and the extended warranty greatly enhances that also. In all my years of driving, I have never even considered extended warranties, but when I see signs hanging in the repair bays, "Labor Rates $10
  4. Having another two years on the powertain 5/100,000 warranty, I am not too concerned with extending the mechanical end of the warranty, it is all the electronics in this car that is worrisome. Especially the 2LT which is loaded with gadgets. Current book is roughly 8K, but over the next few years, a couple of electronic problems, can cost a fortune. If you read what's covered under the p/w warranty, there are quite a few sensors, that would affect the way the car runs, that are also not covered. With luck, there may be no problems, on the flip side, you can run through quite a few bucks, shoul
  5. Looks like around 20K with a sunroof. This is the first Spark with "available items" at an extra charge, of course. 13-15's, came complete, price was fixed by model. No longer a bargain, they will eventually circle the drain, too bad.
  6. Questions answered. Spark is getting health insurance.
  7. I'm about a week away from the end of my 3 yr. bumper to bumper, the car has been relatively trouble free, although I am only at 14,000 mi. I am looking at the GM extended warranty for an extra 3 yr. bumper to bumper, and a two year extension on the drive train at a cost of roughly $1,000. My one problem, is the resale value of these cars are dropping like a lead balloon. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc.?
  8. Can anyone point me to where the emergency brake adjuster is? It seems to be coming up a little on the high side, and I'd like to tighten it up a bit. Thank You
  9. If you're looking for power, why the hell did you buy a Spark?
  10. Has anyone else tried pulling the cabin filter, and running the a/c? If so, have any improvements been noticed? A little leery about running without a filter, but going to try it short term.
  11. I personally am tired of black, paint, wheels, trim, I like color, it is alive. Just my opinion people.
  12. Hi, I would also like to be kept in the loop, as to what you will be making available for the Spark. Welcome, and stay in touch.
  13. I've spent a few days going through a lot of postings here on the forum, and with all due respect, it seems that you do most of the complaining over and over. It seems that you are trying to convince people that if they bought, or are contemplating buying a Spark, it is a major mistake, and it seems to me that you are in the minority. I personally like my Spark, and I don't believe that it is a conspiracy, that the majority here does also. I have read posts here, that people have literally traded their cars in, anticipating problems that will never happen, because they were panicked by posts
  14. How did he pull it up rear first if it was stuck in park? Wouldn't the front wheels drag?
