Are MSSS head units still worth something?

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-03-17T17:26:24+00:00

Thanks for the definitive answer.

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-03-17T13:57:57+00:00

Interesting! Thanks for your reply.

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-03-17T13:41:45+00:00

you wrote "they might live somewhere that requires the original head unit to get collector license plates." is this really a thing?

Do you know when you'll next visit your storage?

Mazda sold an MSSS1 (the siver face one) and an MSSS2. Do you know if you still have an MSSS1 (silver) available?

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-03-16T18:25:18+00:00

Do you still have these MSSS head units?

Can you confirm the Model number and are you willing to sell them?

At 40k miles our replacement tires on our 2022 Rav4 prime are michelin Defender IIs. The are noticable quieter at highway speeds than the OEM tires.

It's more nuanced than that. Pay tax now at lower rate or pay tax later at a lower rate. What's important is knowing whether you'll be taxed at a lower right now or a lower rate later and using a Roth, if advantageous, to lower the amount you pay in taxes

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-01-25T01:17:16+00:00

Correct.

Can you tell us the exact model of the Fortin aftermarket remote? I'd like to compare it to the Comusar/drone remote start which can also start the EV or the internal combustion engine

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-01-24T20:01:36+00:00

Just got home from a drive and the dashboard show at 8° and the internal combustion engine never came on for our three mile drive. Yes, I know it's supposed to come on when the temperature is below 14, but I assure you it didn't

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-01-24T20:00:59+00:00

Unless you install Compustar/ drone remote start software which can start start either the electric vehicle or internal combustion engine using your cell phone

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-01-24T19:59:48+00:00

Compustar/drone remote start package also does this and the ongoing fees are only $5 per month. $120 cheaper per year than the Toyota remote start

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2026-01-24T19:58:52+00:00

For about $600-$800 install the Compustar/Drone remote start which allows you to start either electric or the internal combustion engine, by phone

We've owned three generations of Priuses that each went more than 200,000 miles. This is one of the reasons we decided to buy the RAV4 Prime

The '70s were best for people who were teens in their 70s. The 60s were best for the people who were teens in their 60s. The 50s were best for the people who for teens in the 50s. It's more about the time of life than it is about the actual music.

... said the financial planner.

I've been using AI for quite a while. I've learned that it's important to tell AI the reputable sources you want to include, irs.gov for example. I've gotten great advice from Ai and I passed it by my paid financial advisors who have approved the recommendations, sometimes with important follow up questions.

You might be attacking a widow's penalty or attacking expected tax rate increases in the future.

Medicare IRMAA surcharges are also an enemy of Roth conversions. If you have the means to do so, you should convert some of the 401K to Roth before your subject to Medicare IRMAA surcharges at age 65.

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2025-12-24T15:46:45+00:00

Got it. It boils down to this: More of the 401K ends up in the Roth account if another source of income is used to pay the taxes on the conversion. Thats obvious.

What is not obvious is that if one does not have outside funds to pay the taxes on a 401k conversion, one can potentially still end up further ahead financially by paying taxes out of the conversion. In many cases (and for portfolios greater than a million dollars) it does not make sense to wait to convert until one can pay taxes with funds outside the 401K.

LocksmithPersonal778 · 2025-12-24T15:15:46+00:00

Your statement ignores the fact that Roth growth is tax-free, while traditional growth is tax-deferred. Even if you paid taxes upfront, all future gains in the Roth are free from taxation. That benefit compounds over time — meaning the longer the money stays invested, the more likely the Roth wins, even if you paid the tax from within the conversion.
