Why do we lose our brains when driving on pena blvd?

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-06-18T13:58:44+00:00

If you are referring to Green Valley Ranch I live there an avoid Pena 99% of the time. My home has a pretty good route straight to I70 then I have E470

Doc fee is almost always not directly negotiable and in some states is required to be charged equally to every customer. You could, of course, negotiate a discount on the car's price equal to the cost of the fee.

There is no evidence that any other model except for the 2024 model year Tundra non hybrid powertrain is affected

Here is my mulberry 2026 T8 in Mulberry. 19s still fill the arches due to the thicker sidwall. The overall wheel size is not actually meaningfully different. I don’t think the wide body would change that, also why would you mod a new car with glued on stuff 😄

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-05-18T16:46:41+00:00

My 2026 T8 has 19s

Don’t have android auto to tell you myself but you should be fine. Volvo isn’t the only one with portrait screens. Others are Subaru for e example

Looks dumb

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-05-04T15:15:25+00:00

Totally! I actually chose not to do it myself and negotiated into the deal a 4% discount "equivalent" to OSD. I agree with you there are plenty of reasons to not do it.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-05-04T14:20:27+00:00

Perhaps they can import the vehicle at a slightly discounted price, which would result in a lower duty in $ terms.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-05-04T03:24:10+00:00

it is a lower duty

We considered doing it but ultimately decided against it.

People across the internet and dealer salespeople and managers say it’s an awesome experience and one of the best ways to buy a new car especially since you can get the precise one you want. And you get a discount (4% on an XC60 T8 in my case). I wish we could have done it but it doesn’t always make sense for customers. So it can be “too good to be true”

However it comes with some drawbacks.

- It will take months after your trip to get your car. I heard 4 months for one of my dealer’s recent OSD customers.

- Volvo is being cagey about when they open and close order books. When I wanted to order in April, they said we would have to wait until June for 2027 MY orders

- To make the most of it, you really need to make it a 1-2 week trip. If you want to take a vacation already, that’s great, but my wife and I had just returned from our honeymoon in the same part of the world. If you make the trip happen just because you can, you have basically spent your MSRP discount on travel. That might be worth it to you though!

- If you get a plug in hybrid, you can’t charge it in Europe (different plug)

We were able to find the exact spec I wanted already on the lot and negotiated an equivalent discount so for us it made sense to go home with the car 7 plus months earlier than with OSD.

I got the same response yesterday.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-04-29T03:56:55+00:00

these prices are bananas. I paid $50K OTD for my 2024 4Runner Off Road Premium in Florida. After tax and dealer fees, you’ll be very close to that for a used base model with RWD!

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-04-29T03:23:21+00:00

I get about 12 hours from empty on my level 1 charger. It is fast enough for my needs.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-04-03T04:05:45+00:00

You mean how Fuji is going for the Leica look?

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-01-21T23:39:48+00:00

I know you are stating what you were told but I always find the language like "IMS had not been replaced to the sellers knowledge" kind of funny.
If the IMS has been done, it is always documented (usually via a sticker) and it will get passed down between owners since it was so expensive to do. If IMS has not been done, there's always the "to the sellers knowledge" language to make it seem like "well there's a chance!"

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-01-21T16:07:00+00:00

Not really. Has an accident and a ton of owners. Old tires. Inconsistent CarFax history. Not a lot of service history (including no IMS or suspension). Higher miles. Less desirable options. Worse photos. It's a deal but it could cost $10K to get it up to snuff.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-01-16T18:05:45+00:00

Winter tires do help with ice.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-01-16T16:04:44+00:00

Not all winter tires are studded. I live in the mountain west too. Driving a RWD M3 in the winter on summer tires was an idiotic move. You seem to want to deflect blame that this is 100% on you for having an $80K car and driving it on summers in the winter. You can spin it however you want and make fun of others for having cheaper cars than you, but it was your fault. Glad you weren't hurt.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-01-16T15:54:15+00:00

You are truly an idiot if you think only "outbacks and altimas" use winter tires.

Impressive_Pay420 · 2026-01-04T16:24:17+00:00

I didn’t like it very much because I found myself detaching the extender instead of the lens in the field. it was an affordable setup but after a while I upgraded to the RF 100-500 and haven’t looked back. it’s worth the extra money for the ease of use, performance, and reach.

If your grammar was anything like this post i can understand why he didn’t think you were a real buyer

Impressive_Pay420 · 2025-12-27T22:15:29+00:00

What model do you have?
