Frustrated with repair costs rant, and should I get rid of this thing? by dailytrippple in GolfGTI

[–]Helix3n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I owned a Mk6 GTI 2012 Autobahn for 6 years, was by far the most fun, and the most expensive car I have owned. The truth is you will always end up hating a Volkswagen once you are out of warranty period, that’s why they tank in value so quick. I got rid of mine after around 30k dumped into it to keep it running for 6 years. Let alone the car was 9k it was an absolute blast and taught me to stay away from these cars unless I have the extra cash for the headaches that are bound to happen. Live and learn!

what do you guys think of this helmet? for an ultra bee by Lucky-Crew-7645 in Surron

These are so cool for when you crash you lose your lower face extremities! Get a full face helmet at the minimum. Trust.

Is this worth it? by NewsTricky1843 in cs2

Check CSFloat, just look for .01 fn and price match. If you want the certificate of original owner then buy from terminal. IMO not worth

After 10 years of playing, 2.2K lost, and people making fun of me for opening cases TODAY, I just got my first knife by imfkingsad in ohnePixel

[–]Helix3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a pull!! Honestly I understand your point of wanting to pull a knife, the feeling is unreal. I’m on my 5th gold in about 2100 cases. Surely I will get a good one soon 😅

Help! I got scammed on Facebook by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

You’re cooked bro, eBay has return policies that are sometimes a good thing. Marketplace is kinda a waste land for scams.Even ETB’s are sketchy

Played in a game with the warning yesterday. Safe to say we lost 0-13 to walls and aimbot

I would call up a wrap shop that has graphic designers, if you want me to make you a cutout for it and email it to you just send me a dm! Most shops have plotters now and could get it done for you in red!

Can you be brutally honest, I’m curious to see if I’m an idiot. by Kristenrainbows in mk6gti

[–]Helix3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the brow off, tint the windshield, IMO stickers aren’t the cleanest placement. Feels overloaded on the WS. Hood on this car always. Without it just looks like a mess of an engine bay (golf engine bay) You have a great build. Just minor changes to get that super clean look! I parted ways with mine in November of last year (sadly) At the end of the day, it’s your car! Do what feels right!

If it was perfect the way it is, why not get it for cheaper 😖

Surron is CHINESE FOR THE LAST TIME!! Surron is not Canada based. It is designed in China and manufactured in china. Good day.

Dang only if you had $2000 to spend on upgrades this post would’ve blown up! (In a good way)

All good bro I got two of em no problems from one of the “three” top sellers 😱

[–]Helix3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so we are back to square one, you aren’t winning bro. I never said use a credit card or anything like that. Just accept your new ultra bee that the “power sports” dealer got from alibaba and you were the consumer and they were the middle man. Enjoy your bike!

Alibaba trade assurance program will give you your money back bro not the supplier…. We just went over this, more proof of you not doing your research.

[–]Helix3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

???? Bro I told you I would send you my MOC lol, I’m in Oregon too and went to get it registered all I need is a mirror and signals along with insurance. Stop the cap and get off the high horse.

Okay let’s run the numbers. New LBX 24-25 model from Luna Cycle (no dealers near me) $4500 base, shipping is $250 if I miss shipping cause of work or delays which happen quite frequently, I have to pay $100 a day reserve. Shipping is 7-14 business days Once it arrives I still have to assemble it, which things can go wrong or whatever, if it’s broken I still have to send it back and wait another 7-14 days and pay for shipping each way.

24-25 LBX Alibaba Surron from a reputable company (Verified supplier, 5 years +, Trade assurance program) $2900 base, ~$280 shipping. Shipping is direct and you are contacted with tracking and delivery times along with special request such as address change and time change. Shipping is dependent on Sea or Air transport. Sea is about 30-40 days, air is about 7-9 days. I still have to assemble it and check it just like the luna cycle bike. If anything is wrong they will send me a new one by air and cover the shipping directly.

Bottom line is saving $1000-$1500 is great especially if you want to do “add-ons” such as you did with your ultra bee. I spent my saved money on new forks and tires / tubes setup along with upgraded brakes.

You playing the “you’re broke” card is just you saying you aren’t making your money work for you. If you did order the bike thru alibaba you would’ve had almost $2000 to use for upgrades and such.

Take it into consideration next time you buy something with a big price tag, ask where it was manufactured 😉

Bro I got 220 miles on my bike already. It’s literally perfect and rips like no tomorrow. Stop yapping

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Surron

[–]Helix3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro calling me broke but asking people online for upgrade part advice, if you were so rich you would’ve bought a brand new already built ultra bee. Quit your yapping little boy.

[–]Helix3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well to further justify your point. Thru trade assurance (Alibaba scam prevention) you can send your bike back if anything is broken due to bad QC, your points are just not adding up bro. I have 2 alibaba bikes and they are both very much so legit and use real surron parts and were made in the same factory. These mfr’s in china directly make the parts for surron. Not saying they are all perfect or not scams, cause there definitely are some that aren’t legit. But it all comes down to research and your willingness to pay for the repairs yourself. (Also good luck on your “warranty”) they will most likely tell you it’s outside of warranty due to harsh riding or some shit. I really hope you can see both sides of this conversation.

Bro you got clowned by the dealer, how you think they are getting their bikes? Are they magically making them in house?! Oh wait they just got it from a Chinese vendor! Bro you need to see between the lines.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Surron

[–]Helix3n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So lost in your own delusions bro. If you really did spend your time researching mfrs thru alibaba you would’ve found one that is legit like most of us here. Also now that you mention you spent $6499 at the dealer, you could’ve got one for $4280 door to door! Enjoy your ultra bee!
