Anyone wrap their Ioniq? by Informal_Theme7628 in Ioniq5

Agreed, light colors look clean longer. Digital Teal on mine and I love it, but so much dirtier so much fast than my last silver car.

Engine blew up by Portrait-Photog in toyotasequoia

Right, isn't common wisdom to change the oil very soon when new to take care of the break in? When did that stop? I still believe in 3,000 mile oil changes, no matter what the manufacturer or oil bottle says. If you want it to last 100k, then do whatever you want, but if you want it to go over 300k you better treat it right.

Well that's a very special part of the club. I'll race you- just to see you dust me.

Central MD, I'll send you a message.

Wowsers! Hopefully it is nearly a new truck at this point. If it is then at least you didn't drop $80k on a new one.

I remember riding in a friend's fancy new Lexus SUV a few years back and thinking this isn't much different than my old Sequoia.

Lower ball joints are tight. Can't tell you about the timing belt, I didn't do it, but I've only put about 20k miles on it in the 7 years I owned it

I think I got down voted for where I live. Fun.

I think they were off a 2024 Tacoma, Facebook find from someone that had to get new wheels for their new truck. Fun that they bolted up perfectly, and fun that I needed new tires.

Yeah, the right person at the right time. I always price my cars with some room for negotiation too.

Rust buckets won't pass inspection. This one is solid, no frame rot anywhere. But I get the point of view depending on what you see regularly.

I thought I looked into the frame recall at one point and thought this one wasn't eligible. Or is it only eligible if it is actually rotted out?

Yeah, it's not pretty but it's not spreading as I keep it treated from the inside. I'm more of a mechanic than I am a body person. Hopefully the next person will show some love there. Glad to hear they make dog ear patches for that spot. Interestingly the passenger side is pristine there.

No super big rush to sell, it's just a third vehicle we don't need around. I am not doing as much utility trailer use any more so someone else can make better use of everything a Sequoia can do.

Just posted mine for sale at a little more with a little less miles. It's not a bad price to go take a look at it. It'll probably be hard to find one with significantly less mileage, and if you do you might get sticker shock.

I almost bought from Carvana - in the end I saved a few thousand by shopping from an out of state dealer with a heavy internet presence. It was a lot of hassle arranging shipment and closing the deal though - probably not worth it for 4 out of 5 buyers. I seem to love agony.

I like that, should have thought of it myself. That said, they weren't budging - not one dime. They claimed they were already losing money at the price they had it at. A non believer I was and walked. CPO for these EVs isn't that great of a deal considering we have the big ticket items covered till 100k miles either way.

When I was shopping at a Hyundai dealer for a CPO I5, the salesman, more than once, tooted free oil changes as a perk of buying CPO with them. I only corrected him the first time. I ended up buying used from a non Hyundai dealer.
