I'd never buy a used Honda or Toyota off the lot, just not worth that much. It's not that much different than our Contique's it's all some sort of marketing hype IMHO. hiding recall's etc. Big business greed/contrieved prices. Paul Paul 98 Mystique LS 2ea (07/97)(08/98)

How do the E/F's compare w/ the C's?. I'm an engineer w/ GE; w/ support for F404's & F414's. Best of luck in 115. Yea not as much fun. I had back seat qual when I was in VFA-94 we had the lot 12 c's, but my ride was in a VFA-125 C that was confugured as a trainer. I'm an AT (aviation electronic tech) I like my job and now with Super Hornets it's still fun. The 414 is a more powerful engine that the 404 but the 414 gives the AD's fits with the stress cracks in the engines. But hay they fly and work good. At least they don't drip as much as the 404's did. Over all they are alot better with some new systems and they are up more than down. The supers hold more internal gas and the drop tanks are bigger, and don't forget the capabilities for carreing the refueling pod is great. ....Brad Your mom thinks I'm hot!!

Paul Yea we bought the 4Runner used off the Toyota lot but atleast it was during a Toyota sell-a-thon. So we payed under blue book. But hay I have had no problems with it. I know what you mean about hiding recalls they are even reluctant to tell me when their is a recall and don't like fixing them. ....Brad Your mom thinks I'm hot!!
