BBJ Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Now that I'm no longer racing motorcycles I really had no need for my '16 XL TC. It was a great vehicle, never gave me any problems, and I'll definitely miss it but it's time for something sporty. I was stunned that Carvana gave me damn near what I paid for it new 6 years ago. This forum has been terrific providing useful information and assorted kindred spirits. Thanks to everyone, good luck and stay safe. windguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I'll keep my eyes out for the van with the racing stripes. Maybe the next owner will turn up on the forum. What's your next car going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Ridley Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Sorry to see you go, but a new vehicle awaits and that's exciting. Nice to know the van held it's value. That van will grab attention on to he CarMax lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am never leaving this forum. Just for this guy harassing other members. Fifty150 and windguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Self inflicted ass rider a lot of your posts are very questionable and subject to a Creditable information check irrespective if one owns a Transit Connect or not.

UTTER NONSENSE By my account, you're the only person on the forum that is "harrased", if you want to call it. I call it debunking nonsense and disinformation.

Baby's home. That's great news MRTN. So glad to hear it! What's that white stuff all over, from blowing snow? Re Toaster, no worries there, for now. The mods apparently scrubbed his existence deleting all posts. Until his next reincarnation, we can peacefully enjoy the forum without the drama and mayhem. In solemn remembrance.... mrtn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Yeah, we have had a proper snow storm for a couple of days, just stopped snowing. Been shoveling for hours.

No. I heard he had issues with the LPG device right away after purchase. I called to apologize and said he can return the van if he likes. So the next day he acceped my offer.

G B L Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The fact that your TC was unusual would make some people not good candidates to own it. Here's a question did the conversion save money for you? How Many K on it and is the body holding up. This may be a good thing as the price to replace is artificially high. Mine is closing in on 145000 (241000) mi and is passing the test. windguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The body is fine, as much as it can be in the rust belt, 148Mm on it (92Kmiles). The LPG device is saving money, yes. Break even point is past. Gasoline costs €1.7/L ($6.89/USgal) after the recent drop due to the world market stabilizing (was €2.1 a few months ago), LPG costs 74 cents/L ($3/USgal). My buddy driving an E-tron said LPG is cheaper than electricity per distance over here. Then again, electricity price is abnormally high at the moment. windguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
