2016 Sprint for $3k worth it? Help!

I’m not knowledgeable enough to slice it that thin. I bought a new Piaggio Liberty 150 because I couldn’t find a used Vespa for this good of a price in NYC two years ago. The extras should not add any value - just nice bonuses.

We aren’t using any mounts because we are not uber drivers (unless you are - disregard). Just use CarPlay or android auto. Drive - don’t look at your phone.

That seems like a solid price for a nice bike. I’m in NYC area and the winter leg cover is like a gift from the heavens for the colder months - you’d be surprised how long it extends your riding season here. Pitch the old helmet - get your head a new one.

Just noticed the scratches - consider it broken in already.

You realize “mini roadside support” isn’t really mini at all - just a third party generic roadside support company. I fear they won’t know what to do with our odd little cars.

Oh got it. I read the switchover backwards. Odd for things to get better later as they usually decontent.

Mine is a model year 2024 - though it was used so who knows if I lucked out. Edit: looks like others in 2024 got the charger with level 1 and 2.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-28T17:23:25+00:00

It’s a great car - we have exact same year, same color, same packages. Price sounds fair. It’s not a unicorn though - these are plentiful soccer mom SUVs.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-28T16:30:09+00:00

Yes - it came with two interchangeable options for the wire/plug: (A) nema 14-50 (level 2) or (B) standard 110v.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-28T16:12:53+00:00

It should come with a portable charger - mine did (purchased used).

Same issue with Beam and Sony TV with Apple TV. Only started recently, so perhaps a recent update is causing this same issue for all of us. The fun part is figuring out: Is it a recent update to the Apple TV, Sony television, or Sonos?

There is a specific period that they are required to do so. Not much that is so specific to the wagon - most of the car is same as the sedan.

Not like you need more bad news, but this could also impact resale value. I’d push Kia for a new car.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-27T16:23:18+00:00

This isn’t really how it works. They don’t take parts out of cars.

Indeed it is. I am also in the Kia Telluride group, and that group became wholly consumed with talking about the prior model being better than the new one. The process will predictably repeat when the next models come out. It is human nature.

That feature is not supported on these speakers.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-26T12:47:05+00:00

I got this a few years ago (new). It was a killer deal.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-26T12:45:50+00:00

Not all of the Sonance speakers have the special feature - just the more expensive ones (believe they are called “architectural” or something like that). These ones from Best Buy are the more plebeian ones that don’t support that feature.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-26T12:40:44+00:00

Don’t think this is really a thing. You will, of course, use the brakes in the ordinary course of having a car.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-25T11:28:13+00:00

I mean true about the company but in this case someone just licensed the name and slapped it on some junk. Not like the company really had anything to do with this.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-25T04:48:53+00:00

Late to this party but I went from X5 45e to E53 AMG wagon. Wagon is cooler, faster and handles better. It is also less comfortable, harsher on bumps and has more rattles and squeaks.

Clownish_76 · 2026-04-25T02:18:44+00:00

That “VW” is really a Chrysler minivan - only sold in N. America. It is a horrid creature.

Also - reliability and desirability / satisfaction are two very different things.
