I passed up on a mint condition 03 M5 w/ 45K miles because the gas mileage wasn't any better than the Pathfinder I was driving (that's how I convinced the wife to let me get the 335).
The problem with the walnut blasting is that I really don't know what the intake valves look like - meaning would I just be throwing money out the window. I have no idea how the previous owner drove the car, so it's really just a gamble. I plan on taking advantage of a group buy at a local dealership.
I see you're from Northern NJ - I lived in Hackensack for 3 years before moving down to NC back in 2005. My wife is from Ridgefield Park and my brother currently lives in Teaneck. I had my Prelude all over the back roads around the Franklin Lakes.  |
I hear that! As far as gas mileage, and I'm speaking for the procede only.. it doesn't affect gas mileage under normal driving conditions.. I average more now than when I first got the car.. so it really is more a matter of driving habits.. and having that extra power there when you want it.. Chances are the previous owner did not get the valves cleaned so if you can get a good deal on it (I paid 500, but there are better deals around) it is definitely worth it!! And I love the back roads around here.. but there are definitely a lot of roads that take a beating.. I have a friend that went to NC state and he said the roads are better down there so ENJOY!
