Is Lincoln Navigator so hot? one of the Best selling cars?

I try to buy a new one. some dealers won't give me discounts or as little as $500 over MSRP. MSRP is $58455!!!
not $3000 or $4000?
Do you think this dealer guy tries to rip me off? Am I a dumb cash machine? I love you man!! I will give you what you want!!

2007 Lincoln Navigator 4X4 L!!!!

I like to buy 2007 Lincoln Navigator 4X4 L with options.

I caculated MSRP at Lincoln home page; $58,455.00

I will pay $53,000.00 cash!! for the car. or maybe $54,450.00

I do not know how much I should spend for it.

I do not give a **** about Market Ajustment or any dealer costs. Is it legal? If it is legal, then what the "F" MSRP stands for? I am sorry using F word. I was kind of upset.

I mean truly Lincoln Navigator is so hot in the market, Ford is doing great in business? I thought Ford is having a hard time to sell cars. a lot of cash backs from Ford to dealers, no?

I was involved in a 3 car pileup on the freeway. I was in the middle. The person who hit me has no insurance. The damage to my car was $1300. The damage to the car in front was $1400.

Now, the person who I hit (the car in front) says shes going to report it to my insurance, but since it wasn't my fault, what will my insurance company most likely do? I have all of the information from the guy behind who caused the accident, but since he is uninsured, will my insurance have to pay for the car in front? Thanks for any advice.

Engine shutdown caused Northwest collision
By David Kaminski-Morrow

US investigators have concluded that a Northwest Airlines crew's decision to shut down the left engine on a taxiing McDonnell Douglas DC-9, leaving it with no hydraulic pressure after the right-side system had failed, resulted in its colliding with an Airbus A319 at Minneapolis.

The DC-9 (N763NC) had suffered a valve fracture that caused the loss of right-side hydraulic pressure, a situation that the crew noticed as the aircraft climbed out of Columbus on a domestic service to Northwest's Minneapolis/St Paul hub on 10 May 2005.

While the pilots carried out in-flight procedures to deal with a loss of right-side pressure, the captain became increasingly convinced, later in the flight, that the apparent pressure loss was a false indication. This view was reinforced by the normal lowering of the landing gear. Emergency teams at Minneapolis were nevertheless put on standby as the aircraft approached.

The Northwest Airlines DC-9 collided with an Airbus A319 on pushback



The DC-9 touched down safely on runway 22 and the landing roll appeared to be normal, with brakes and reverse-thrust operating, and the aircraft exited the runway to taxi to gate G7.

Just over 5min after touchdown the flight recorders detected the shutting down of the aircraft's left-hand Pratt & Whitney JT8D engine - a technique employed to save fuel during ground manoeuvring - although the National Transportation Safety Board says the captain "did not recall" doing so.

The first officer later stated that he did not know that the engine had been stopped and that the captain had not mentioned it.

Upon nearing the gate the crew discovered they were suddenly unable to steer or brake the DC-9, and they activated the thrust reversers, which also stopped functioning within a short time and the aircraft began rolling forward.

The aircraft was travelling at around 14kt (25km/h) when it struck the wing of a Northwest A319 (N368NB) on pushback from gate G10. Both aircraft were subsequently evacuated, with eight occupants injured among the total of 145 on board the two. The DC-9 was transporting 94 passengers, the A319 had 39 on board.

I always feel like I'm in a rush, and get headaches with people tailgating me. Why is eveyone in such a hurry? Do they think being 2 inches from your bumper is going to make the traffic ahead of you move? How do you feel when someone tailgates you - or are you a leisure driver and you aren't bothered by other drivers? Tell me tell me!

I bought 4 new Goodyear Integrity's tires for my 2005 Toyota Highlander. The tire shop balanced the tires twice since I bought the tires 2 months ago, but I still get the vibration. The tire shop says that the rim is to blame, not the tire because the rim is defective and when the problem is from driving aotand hitting pot holes, etc..... My old tires didn't have any steering wheel vibration issues at highway speeds at all though. Should I go back to the tire shop a 3rd time and ask for a manager?

I noticed a local tire shop that is now offering this service, and I just wondered what benefits having nitrogen in my tires would give me....or, is this just a gimick, since our own atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, anyway???

I bumped into a 2000 nissan pathfinder during the weekend and ran to the body shop for an estimate... They gave me an estimate for $1500 because besides the bumper they said the frame was a bit bent and it needed work.

the bumper itself is 265 plus tax and paint would be needed.
is this a fair estimate? or am I being ripped off?
