Looks like I'm going to be getting assigned a new work vehicle soon... suspect it will be an '07 or '08 Impala (I know the car, just not sure what year it is. I've driven it briefly before and it's WAAAAAY nicer than the previous version.) This time I'm a little more financially well set than I was when I started my current job, so I'd like to take good care of this one so that I can buy it out when the lease is up because I'm sure my old Porsche will be due for an overhaul by the time I get through another company car, then I'll still have something decent to drive while I'm rehabbing the 944.
1st order of business is floor mats... definitely need some heavy rubber mats to keep the carpet from getting all barfed up. I think we had a thread about this a while back and the initiator of that thread settled on Weathertech; is that the best option? I tried looking on the GM web site for official accessories but all I found was carpeted mats. (I know that the VW ones you buy through the VW dealer are the nicest ones available for those cars, hence my question)I'm also thinking a steering wheel leather wrap (the steering wheel on my '05 is literally near disintegration after baking out in the sun for going on four years now) and a cargo net for the trunk as well...
Possibly a CM oil filter if I can convince the shop that maintains it to use that instead of their own filters, and maybe I'll offer to pay the difference between the bulk oil they use and Mobil 1... I can see myself paying for transmission and cooling flushes...
anything else I should purchase "up front" for a car that I'd hope should last forever? I'm just trying to get a list together...
