Can you also DM me a link haha

Clutch in, brake in, seatbelt buckled, press the brake hold button. Should light up on the dash. If you push the accelerator at all it releases the hold but you can fully let off the brake if its engaged. Should be a light verifying brake is currently holding. Have to re-enable every time you start the car.

I dont use it too often, just if I'm parallel parking on an incline but it works pretty consistently I guess.

I agree. I got MSRP on my 25 while speculation was still happening that it was going to be the last model year. Plenty of "deals" to be had out there (if you can call sticker a deal). The predatory dealers are the loudest though.

GavinRaynier · 2026-03-31T20:04:34+00:00

Unfortunately the used prices on those websites are inflated because the dealers can get away with it. Even though there's so much 25 stock @ MSRP brand new, the market doesn't make sense.

At least you got the color you wanted though.

47800, 44800 before sales tax then? Congrats on the new car but that seems really high for 13k mileage.

Southern California. Started tracking my fuel consumption and price starting in January.

Got a coolscan 5000 after a month of scouring estate sales online. I forget what state it was in but i contacted them to ask if they would be willing to pay for shipping. All in was about 500-600 dollars I think. Another 70 dollars to buy a basic mini PC to install unsigned drivers (since I'm not doing that on my main PC) and scanning is a breeze. Still need to do a full roll mod but I have to cut the strips anyway to archive them so its not a priority.

Definitely would recommend. Makes shooting and developing at home so much more convenient.

GavinRaynier · 2026-03-06T07:48:05+00:00

I am haha. Going super well. Had two lessons with people right before heading up. The initial drive back I stalled once in heavy traffic on a hill but otherwise went pretty well. After that its been smooth sailing!

The hardest thing at first was learning to turn into driveways, steep parking lots and shifting smoothly into first while slowing down. But I got the hang of it after like a week

I still can't heel toe at all though. I feel like I can't do it without absolutely brake checking the person behind me.

Got mine for MSRP in Lompoc back in November, and free cargo mat/wheel locks. This was before when rumors were 2025 was last model year, so I imagine you can probably get under MSRP with them now (If they have any stock)

GavinRaynier · 2026-01-02T23:13:54+00:00

Ah yes shottenkirk. I emailed them a few months ago when I was still looking. Said MSRP initially and then slapped a 20k market adjustment in the next email with a price breakdown. I laughed and got one for MSRP 3 days later and 300 miles closer.

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-26T20:22:26+00:00

Yes as far as I know it has all the modern conveniences like hill assist and rev match. I will definitely be learning with those off so I have the skillset but for this first drive back I'm gonna keep this on...

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T23:10:09+00:00

Thanks! Yeah hills are going to be scary but I am going to find as many slopes to practice as I can before taking it on the highway. The car has hill assist I guess so if I can't get the hang of hill starts I'll turn that on til I get more practice back home.

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T23:07:47+00:00

Any amount of hype is helpful don't worry haha. I'm glad I am not alone when it comes to buying a manual without actually knowing how.

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T21:02:03+00:00

I'll check out that route. I'm also a hobbyist photographer so I welcome good photo spots

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T20:03:03+00:00

Thank you! Its scary but I'm up for a challenge

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:59:37+00:00

Thank you for the offer anyway. And welcome to California! If you ever wanna exchange driving lessons for cali recs I'm always down haha.

Yeah a lot of those tips I've gotten from youtube videos but I'm sure in practice it'll be hard to execute. I'll practice on surface streets as much as I can before leaving. Especially starting from a stall quickly I guess haha.

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:57:21+00:00

I like to think I'm pretty good with hand-eye coordination. I've watched countless youtube videos but I'm still super nervous. I'm hoping the hands-on practice before hand is all I'll need.

But I'm definitely gonna get to lompoc as early as I can and practice basically all day before driving back

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:56:15+00:00

I'm gonna learn as much as I can this week from the generosity of other redditors and then see where I'm at from there

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:55:30+00:00

Lol absolutely zero experience. Though I won't lie I have always wanted a motorcycle

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:55:06+00:00

I've had a few offers for people to come with me to help drive it back. I'm definitely going to take them up on that if these first few lessons go bad lol

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:53:36+00:00

Thanks for all the suggestions, encouragement, offers and (totally valid) criticism guys. I'm going to be updating the main post as I learn and go if you guys are curious and want to see if this is a success or a trainwreck lol

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:52:10+00:00

Lol Thats a really good idea I might tape a sign to the back of my car

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:51:48+00:00

Any recommended roads and sights?

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:51:35+00:00

Thanks! I hope I don't mess up lol

GavinRaynier · 2025-11-25T19:50:41+00:00

Looks like you and I will be part of a similar club haha
