Dealer wants me to trade the '13 for a '14 Got the Early Lease Termination letter where I can be released from the current lease if I lease/ buy any new Buick. The wife says "do it! and maybe try a new color Encore". My problem now is that we would be getting a very late '14 when the 15's...

Tire Pressure Monitoring System This cold weather (deep in the 40's ;)) got me thinking that the tire pressures on the Encore might need some attention, since I don't monitor them regularly. The BMW computer complains if the pressures drop just a little :rolleyes: ... a PITA for sure ...
