Get the diesel. End of statement

Haha. I know. It’s been sitting there for a bit and I will need to get it shipped to me in all likelihood. That said, anything I need to make sure dealership does maintenance wise? I know it’s certified but I can’t hang my hat on just that.

The fuel pump and def pump for sure need to be confirmed, make sure they send you off with a full tank of diesel and def, and the warranty.

Ok. Thanks. sales guy tells me checked vin and didn’t require fuel pump recall, I checked the car fax and I see it was done. Is def pump handled under that recall or is that something different I need to ask about?

The fact that he even had to ask is alarming.

See if they will toss in new batteries. My low miles '23 had to have the batteries warrantied right away because it sat so much at the dealer.

It drives so much calmer(and more capable) than the 3.6, if you drive right. I drive barefoot usually, pinky toe on the gas, big toe on the brake.

Appreciate the advice. I never had a diesel and half the crap you read makes you think it’s the worst engine ever, but from the people that actually have one, most love it. After driving it, no comparison to 3.6. I know I’m overtly this.

The torque is awesome. Mine spins the 37s on dry pavement if you get too heavy on the loud pedal.

You can easily do a U-turn slide drifting on 37s too, no hand brake required. Just tap on the brake to shift the weight toward the front end right before making a U, then just lightly hit the skinny pedal when turning, be prepare to counter steering though lol.
