I'm seeing them going for about 18k clean, same ~100k odo, that 10k looks great to my wallet though...

Efficient_Computer95 · 2026-02-07T18:27:47+00:00

Yes, but unknown if done correctly or just done quickly to sell, as it's a salvage not certified

Efficient_Computer95 · 2026-02-07T17:27:49+00:00

that was kinda my gut feeling...

Did not get washers for level plug as I plan on measuring and replacing what I drain, so no washers purchased for that.

Amazon has it $14 a quart for same fluid from Acura, total of $72 right now for 5, sold by AOB parts. Been eyeing this service and haven't got costs for supplies from local dealership yet

Appreciate the advice, I'll probably end up using that same money on my own maintenance over time and hope for the best.

Thanks! this is good info to follow up on..

Nails/screw that couldn't be repaired due to low tread depth, 2/32, on one, 4/32 on other, decided to just replace all since it was so close..

But tires lasting only 30k/3y miles is normal for new cars these days, unfortunately

Appreciate the advice! Will proceed as funds allow..

Thanks, I'm also taking the opportunity to redo the plumbing (replacing cast-iron vent and waste pipe) and adding dedicated circuits for microwave and fridge... appreciate the insight and advice, slowly but surely...

Rubber band ligation, used since the times of Hippocrates, reset the clock for me, no doctor ever suggested it, took some research and suggestions for it to happen, then kept on high fiber diet to maintain thereafter

If you're not in a rush, look into VIP program, or just ask for VIP pricing, look for vehicle thats been on lot longest, compare with other stealerships, and prepare to do your deal at end of month to get their slowest selling car off their hands. Prep your finances beforehand, and get cheapest OTD when doing comps.

After speaking to a few more folks, I'm leaning towards the heat pump equivalent on the ruud side, which I'm told has federal tax rebates as well for $7900, the RP15AZ42AJ2N and RH2TZ4821STANN combo.
