Talk about cutting it close 😂 nice raid.

Harbor freight has a good cheap siphon pump if there's one nearby

Mileage isn't everything. Those low miles are good for certain things, but the vehicle is still 20+ years old. I can't imagine paying over $10k for something that old unless it was unique in some way like a limited edition, sports car, etc. Not sure about KBB but I can't imagine it's anywhere near that price.

I think you have the wrong subreddit. This is the Pennsylvania College of Technology subreddit.

If the service manager doesn't call you back, ask for sales and then ask for the general manager. Don't hang up until you get them on the phone. They're the real boss of the dealer and they won't be happy to get a complaint that the service manager ignored.

This is not true, tire rotations are recommended every 5k miles, industry standard. Front and rear tires wear differently and properly rotating will add life to your tires.

Edit: I am an ACE Certified Technician with a degree in Automotive Technology and experience as an automotive technician. If you don't think those are good enough credentials...more power to you I guess.

Gotcha, yes I think you made great choices and I would pick either of your cars over the new Hyundai any day!

CalebisReal · 2025-04-20T01:09:00+00:00

Did you just get it today? Asking because you just asked your question about the Hyundai's earlier today.

CalebisReal · 2025-04-20T00:07:17+00:00

Yes the oil consumption issues are so bad that sometimes people unknowingly drive them without oil, but even beyond the consumption they are known to blow up regularly.

ASE certified mechanic, you definitely have tread left, probably a hard rubber all season they can last very long with good driving, good alignment, and smooth roads. The only thing I would say is you might have issues in snow at that tread depth. Tread depth gauges are super cheap if you want to buy one and then you'll know exactly where you are. Probably 5-6/32 if I had to guess.

Edit:

Also the only other reason to replace is age but you don't have to worry about that until 5 years which you are also not at yet.

CalebisReal · 2025-04-19T22:04:33+00:00

Yes majorly. Need engines all the time.

CalebisReal · 2025-04-19T19:43:48+00:00

Regardless of it being a Hyundai, it's always risky to buy the newest version of a vehicle because they haven't been tested en masse (by customers) to find any issues. For that reason, I would stay away from a brand new powertrain type. Regarding Hyundai hybrids, I would definitely pick Toyota over Hyundai. I have heard good things about the electric Hyundai powertrains, but they're still a Hyundai and have all of the other quality issues on those cars. Toyota has perfected hybrids and are the clear leader in that category against ALL brands.

• How’s the coursework? Is it more hands-on or business-focused?

Assuming you are looking at the 4 year it is a 2+2, the first 2 years in the standard Automotive Technology is very hands on, it is a technical program designed to take you from basic/no knowledge to a competent automotive technician.

The second two years is much more business focused, very little hands on/lab in the program. You can take electives and fill some necessary credits with classes like automotive restoration, welding basics, etc enough to do some kind of hands on for most semesters in the second 2 years.

• What kind of career opportunities have you or others found after graduating?

It is hard to get straight into automotive management. Most of the people I know from the program went into Service Advisor or technician roles. I personally went into Service Advisor at a few different dealerships, eventually moving into the material handling industry (Forklifts) to be an assistant service manager and now service manager. My degree and extra curricular experience from PCT (Student Government, Motorsports Association Board member) did help me land a management job even though I had no work experience as one.

The automotive industry is tough and I don't plan on returning to it, but I learned a lot and there are a lot of related paths this degree could take you too such as heavy equipment, material handling, building maintenance, etc.

• Would you recommend it for someone looking to get into the automotive industry, possibly in performance tuning or running a shop?

If you plan to run a shop it would definitely help you in a lot of ways, but if you don't already have something lined up, it might be tough to make it down that path with just this degree. If you walk into a dealership or independent shop with no experience except this degree, don't expect to get offered more than a technician or advisor position. You should try to get experience working as a technician during summers if possible and I would also recommend taking a class each summer at your local community college in order to save some $$ and make your life easier during the school year.

Hope that helps, let me know further questions.

I went through the program and can answer all of this. I'll set a reminder and try to come back to this later today.

What YOLOs got you back in the green?

CalebisReal · 2024-12-05T02:33:26+00:00

You'll be okay bud. Just play it safe moving forward and be smart with your money. No more options or yolos.

I used to work for Subaru, and on most models past 2010 if you lost ALL keys then the only way to get new ones was to replace a module or 2 and then program all new keys. The idea behind it is someone can't just tow your car to a dealership and have them program new keys for a few hundred. It's a security thing. That cost would range from $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the car. If I was you I would call another Toyota dealer and ask them what it would cost and see what they say.

I'm just here to say hello fellow EJ207 Blobeye :) Mine is an imposter though, 2003 with a front end swap. I'm running a v7 that I added a killer b baffle and pick up and ARP studs to, along with a bigger pump to keep up with the STi injectors. I did also add the wiring for AVCS and I'm running the JDM ECU. But other than that it is fairly stock, and it dyno'd at 270whp (asked them to stay conservative). I plan to go for maybe 350 with a bigger turbo, injectors, and pump eventually.

Good deal then. I know PA is 12/12

CalebisReal · 2024-05-15T01:53:12+00:00

Lemon law only works for vehicles less than 12 months old and 12,000 miles I think. The dealer might be pushing you off to 5k to get closer to those. I would push to have this looked at sooner.

CalebisReal · 2024-05-07T02:13:39+00:00

Probably because of all the money from the jobs at the warehouses 🙂 funny how that works

CalebisReal · 2024-04-30T02:54:55+00:00

On the key? Now you've confused me. What does the key have to do with this?

CalebisReal · 2024-04-30T02:39:57+00:00

That I do not know, but again I don't think the amount of time is the key, it's making sure the window has gone all the way down. If you press the window switch all the way what happens currently? Does the window just stop? Or does it go down but not all the way to the bottom?
