MrGrumpy nearly brought a Green 5.2ltr Dog Durango, it looked OK in the photos, but there was an issue where the drivers seat was not totally secure, it moved about an inch when you applied the brakes, just what you need in an auto, maybe the owner liked to emergency stop all the time. This and the dawning fact that even at US prices for fuel, an average of 11MPG is not good, but it did make a nice noise from the twin drainpipes (especially as MrGrumpy would like to visit various parts of California while he is here). The final straw came with the insurance quote, firstly AAA would not insure MrGrumpy at all (because he is an alien and does not hold a US driving licence), he tried progressive, which allowed him to enter the fact he did not have a US licence, the quote for the Durango came in at over $600 for 6 Months, this seemed a lot.
MrGrumpy decided the Durango was not for him, he checked on-line for the price of a BMW 740i and 540i, they were about $400 for 6 Months.
The search for MrGrumpy's vehicle continues...
