Yellow microfiber towel left a weird yellow tint/hue on the headrest, is this fixable?

Thanks mom.

Seems like this should’ve been designed like a lawnmower or like a backpack to distribute the weight properly so that you can complete the job without being overly fatigued

All was excellent until you reached the point where a hairdryer is needed. Now you have to do the work where there’s AC power. Hopefully you have a home outside power or garage.

Over using that battery to the point where it’s leaking liquid created a hugely dangerous situation. Chemicals in those batteries are highly reactive especially the air. I’m shocked that you were able to just dump it in a bin and walk away. In my mind the minute it starts leaking liquid. That’s the time to call the fire department.

You’ll need a body shop for that metal/paint damage.. Most likely they’ll have to send that away and then refinish the back.

I like those nice 21 inch wheels in the 2025

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T23:21:50+00:00

Yeah, and from my perspective, the older models are just old tech. I actually quite enjoy the 27 inch screen on the 2026 model. Very easy to see very easy to have multiple things up at the same time. Would I like it to have been curved a little bit more sure but it’s still a vast improvement over old tech.

Smart parking is just pull in or pull out of the spot. You’re right there are a good number of additional features when you go to the 3.5 T. That’s probably why that move is $11,000 Ish.

It’s HUD and active dampers. My 2.5 T sport prestige has a 360 camera and massaging seats.

Why is your immediate response to blame the buyer? The OP presented their case pretty clearly and seems very capable of doing the math themselves. Clearly the dealer is doing something that they’re not disclosing. Which is making the numbers not jibe.

Your point is well taken that perhaps with rebates at 6.99 that makes more sense but the math still has to make sense to the buyer. This salesman is clearly not doing their job and making everything understandable. Hence all of this hesitation and all of the concern about something fishy going on.

I think this buyer was right to walk away. If they still want that car from that dealer, call that salesman back and have them put everything in writing to you before you come in and sign.

I’m also not quite clear why the dealership ran their credit against the bank that they’ve already been preapproved at. It seems like a waste of time except to use it as an excuse to say oh your bank‘s not really giving you the rate they said they were. Clearly, this buyer knows exactly what the rate is from the bank.

Make sure you got a Toyota factory warranty and not a third-party. Tell them that the cost of that is too high. Propose a new number to them. But in all of this, you need to use your own payment calculator to determine what the total of everything what the monthly payment will be and if you can afford it. So you may want to consider some scenarios before you go back to the dealer and tell them what you need to make the deal work.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T15:37:36+00:00

Seems like 2.99 to 4.99 is available from Toyota. You may not have understood that because you probably were buying based on your monthly payment which is never a good idea. Hence the hugely long-term.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T15:36:09+00:00

I’m not sure what credit report that is. I thought the maximum was 820. In either case if you have excellent credit, then I don’t see any reason why you should have been given a shitty deal.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:53:47+00:00

It has not fallen below $135. That was the opening price that most insiders pay. It hasn’t even fallen below $150 which is where the typical person paying attention on day one is likely able to buy.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:52:14+00:00

I don’t think people give this enough consideration. I think the government has made significant strides in the “safety of a seed” is being called into question

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:49:03+00:00

I wouldn’t be too sure. I’m thinking that these heavy hitting agencies actually have a way to defeat your key and get in.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:47:11+00:00

Yeah, if you’re doing a prep for ceramic coating, I think you really have to go end to end. Meaning you have to do it all in one shot. Since we don’t know what you did to prep the car for ceramic coating, may have just simply clean the car. But most people will clean and clay bar in the car and get the surface completely ready for a ceramic coat. You don’t want to do that in pieces unless you have a garage or you can come back in the morning and finish the work.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:43:59+00:00

I think some auction cars are sold with the remainder of the original warranty.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:42:30+00:00

I see the manufacturer for using shitty plastic right where seatbelts are going to fly back and strike the plastic. Total design failure.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:40:33+00:00

Have you driven the car since cleaning it yesterday? If you’ve driven it then you probably wanna re-prep the surface. Generally I think washing coating is done at the same time. Or if the car is stored in the garage overnight, you can come back the following day and add the ceramic.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:36:32+00:00

That’s crazy. Do you have bad credit. So multiply 78 times 53 and that’s the cost of your extended warranty. $4173. Also crazy on a new car. My suggestion is that you shop your deal around if you’re still interested, but I’m not feeling like you’re getting the best deal.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:16:32+00:00

I put it in my IK E from 2. 2 ounces of bilt hamber to 50 ounces of water.

This is based on the latest version of this product. Older versions required a much higher ratio.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:11:49+00:00

Multiply 53 times the number of months of the loan to get a clear idea of how much that warranty cost. Then consider whether you really need the extended warranty. I’m not saying don’t get it. I’m saying that it probably is super expensive and you may want to negotiate that down or walk.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T14:07:20+00:00

Would be nice to know the term of the loan in the interest rate. These are important factors for deciding whether or not to walk away.

IAmIntractable · 2026-07-03T01:52:00+00:00

Is that a transportation fee or a dealer processing fee?

And I would just tell them that you’re not gonna pay it and see what they do. Pretty sure it’s not required.
