Yeah that's what I'm thinking too.

She'll also get a discount if she goes to her Brother in Law's Ford dealer.. So see how this goes today.

Ok we changed the brakes on our truck about two weeks ago and ever since then there is an occasional squeak. Well the past few days it has gotten a lot worse. Whenever I make left turns it squeaks really loud every time the axel/wheel rotates. HOW CAN I MAKE IT STOP IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE :( not to mention its embarrassing

I'm not a mechanic but I've changed a lot of brakes in my time so take this for what it's worth.

If it's disc brakes and you didn't change the rotor it may be the brakes rubbing on the edge of the rotor. You can take them to Autozone or someplace like that and they can grind them down if there's enough material left on them.

Or it's possible the metal clip on the brake pad is bent and rubbing on the rotor.

Today's trade value for a 2005 Ion with 30k is around $4100. I wonder where the other $1,400 went?

Her family has bought three other cars at the same dealer.. That probably has some to do with it.

Maybe.

its going for more than that on manheim right now

Yer right. Hmmm, but where did it bump?

It has to be the whole back-to-school entry level mark-ups. CNM, perfect timing, because I'll swear, if you waited 3 more months, you would get a lot less.

Mind you, I sold cars 10 years ago. Trends don't change that quick, but in 10 years, you can forget a lot. /rusty

Fixed the problem on my truck, the emergency brake (which the dealer "repaired" about a month ago) was sticking on the back left side and it gradually got worse and worse. It wasnt to bad to fix though. Glad I hear no squeaks anymore :)
