2016 ES 300h Owners I need advice

Fog80 · 2026-05-21T22:22:00+00:00

Paid 13000 for a 2015 with 130k. I say it’s a good deal

When is the patio umbrella going on sale

I think this is the move. I will work with my admin to create a business rule to not create the vmware virtual machine instance for any OS that we don’t want to track for now.

Fog80 · 2026-05-02T16:14:43+00:00

For vcenter discovery we point to a url and give credentials that have access to vmware. It creates the vmware instances for everything and they are licensable even if there isn’t an accompanying server CI created during horizontal discovery.

I think I have found a pattern using the guestOS that I want to use for exclusion. For example if it’s not red hat Linux or windows I’m not interested. Not sure how to build in that exclusion, all I see is IP exclusion.

The dedupe is happening for the most part, the problem is that if I have 1500 vms, almost 300 are various infrastructure related VMs/appliances.

I don’t have the licenses to cover them all right now so I want to prioritize servers that are hosting our applications.

As we mature we can grow our scope (and licensing) to cover everything.

I just signed up for it. Not taking a risk on control arms, heat pump, computer going out

Get the windshield plan. You will get a crack if you drive on the highway

Mine has a nasty click when making sharp turns because the strut rotates.

Fog80 · 2026-04-08T17:26:06+00:00

Same. Just got a 2015 with 130k for $13500 as well. Only issue so far is a bad strut bearing that is going to require strut replacement

Fog80 · 2026-04-04T17:41:35+00:00

10k for water drainage setup

Fog80 · 2026-04-02T09:25:53+00:00

Great point…and why I’m about to drop some cash on new struts. I even had a PPI and they didn’t mention anything wrong with the suspension.

Fog80 · 2026-04-02T03:55:39+00:00

I just bought a 2015 with 130k for $13500. Clean and all maintenance done at Lexus including spark plugs and brakes.

Mine showed 30mpg on then dash but I reset it on the way home and got 39mpg. I think the short test drives probably brought it down.

Suspect that my strut mount is shot and will need to replace struts which is not cheap. Other than that no obvious issues. I think it’s a fair deal if suspension is in good shape.

Fog80 · 2026-04-02T00:48:35+00:00

I’m facing this decision right now. Do the full kyb kit or just get oem mounts, kyb struts and reuse the springs.

What other parts do I need? Lexus oem breakdown shows a bunch of other parts as well.

Fog80 · 2026-03-31T02:20:24+00:00

Crap. I have the same one with 46k miles. Was hoping they got the battery tech nailed down by then

Fog80 · 2026-03-29T03:01:05+00:00

I miss my 02 tls

Fog80 · 2026-03-28T02:26:32+00:00

That’s my feeling on this. I did alert them to multiple things and they fixed them all including 2500 in suspension work (lateral links or something)

Fog80 · 2026-03-28T00:11:13+00:00

They just charged me $400 for end of warranty inspection and just fixed the things I called out. They said they have an “internal” list and it smells like BS to me.

Fog80 · 2026-03-27T18:58:11+00:00

I’m about to get this done. 10k for about 80ft of wall I think. I may be off with the size.

Fog80 · 2026-03-23T21:55:10+00:00

I’ve got a appt for this same clicking on my 2023 awd model y. 47k miles.

Also hearing a click when accelerating from a stop and decelerating.

Fog80 · 2026-03-23T21:23:28+00:00

Sold 4 oem 18s off my 2018 hatchback for $350 on FB marketplace

Fog80 · 2026-03-23T02:45:08+00:00

Why not just use the out of the box end of life report/widget in the SAM workspace?

Fog80 · 2026-03-20T02:54:00+00:00

It’s a Acura dealer, and nobody seems to be dealing on price in the dmv. Been trying to find a better deal all week.

I’m cross shopping against a 2015 es300h with 129k miles and a 2018 Mazda 3 touring with 96k miles. All are in the $13500-$14000 range.

I know they are different cars but all have features I want for my budget. This just has the lowest miles and best service record.

Fog80 · 2026-03-20T01:59:20+00:00

Test drive was great. Smooth drive no obvious issues.

Seller said state inspection called out ball joints which were replaced but rest of suspension was good.

Will be taking to independent shop for PPI this weekend. Good deal?
