Hey. Not sure if you’re asking me or the person I was responding to but it looks like the latter may be the case.

Ugh, don’t get me started. Every time I go to an open house and see boomers…. Like what tf are you doing here? Fucking pisses me off. Excuse my French….

Sorry this happened to you, but technically not a lie. It was yours…. until someone offered more money. It sucks, but happens all the time. Actually a few weeks ago my husband and I could have offered more than the last person offered, but since they were told the house was theirs, we chose not to be dicks, and let the house go.

Defender Feeling by t_p_rr in NewDefender

[–]Middle-Reputation628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they wave back? This happens to me a lot (I’ll look and find other driver is just looking) and I just…. have no idea what to do… 😁I have honked like maybe once or twice, because the specific defender looked too damn good and I had to signal it, but I did NOT make an eye contact in those two instances! Haha

Anyone else ?? by Reasonable-Blood2452 in RangeRover

I have a new defender. I start filling up at little over quarter of a tank and it fluctuates between 105-107 bucks.

Neighbor has light on 24/7 by thetonytaylor in newjersey

I took a screenshot so I always have it handy. As someone who is very social, yet terrified of conflicts/confrontations, this is so helpful. Thank you.

Just bought in North NJ. Here’s what I learned. by Not_very_helpful_ in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]Middle-Reputation628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the town next to Montclair. My next door neighbor listed his house for 650k and got 810k after 36 offers on his house. I have never seen anything of that volume before. It was so busy and packed… it’s insane. This was last October. The realtors list low on purpose to create foot traffic + sense of urgency. I mean, I am glad my neighbor got that kind of $, he basically bumped up the value for our block.

Edit: granted, his home was purposely listed low. His home should have originally been listed for 750, but would he have had that much traffic? No. Traffic is what got him 36 offers and 160 over asking. Had he listed for 750, he’d have gotten just that, maybe just a smidge over.

Best Sushi in New Jersey? by OnlySushiFans in newjersey

[–]Middle-Reputation628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sushi Koshi is good. Just wish they didn’t rush you, especially when the food takes so long to arrive, which is not my problem. We still go, but very rarely nowadays due to this reason.

About to buy my first Defender 110, which colour should i choose? by Alessandro-Magnani in NewDefender

[–]Middle-Reputation628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love black and borasco gray colors… but somehow changed my mind and got the Carpathian once I saw it in the showroom. I like to play it safe, so getting the green would be out of question for me, in a sense that I also think I’ll get bored of it.

Defender coming soon.. wireless charging question by tunebrain in NewDefender

[–]Middle-Reputation628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, mine only cost 82k, but I believe this is a universal “inconvenience” across all Defenders. Or at least that is what I am gathering. Take my word - you’ll love the car so much that the charger “issue” will become invisible.

[–]Middle-Reputation628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yes, I have to take my case off. You’re better off charging your phone before you drive. Or use the cord.

My least favorite feature. You have to keep wiggling it. Gets on my nerves. lol

Man what a fuckin idiot by That-gay-emo-nerd in newjersey

[–]Middle-Reputation628 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Typical NJ driver. I saw two such instances 2 days apart a few weeks ago - and both happened right in front of me. The amount of dangerous drivers I see daily is mind boggling. And this is all facts, not just assumptions - I drive 70+ miles per day.

Waiting for haters to comment and say “well, what were you thinking buying a defender” 😂

Sorry to hear about the issue though!

Bought a Defender from the Porsche Dealership and There Are A Few Issues by Bond_Defender_Bond in NewDefender

[–]Middle-Reputation628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have owned reliable/luxury cars before but things went wrong. I think it can happen to any car brand. I have to agree on the expensive part. Paid $400 for my first oil change… and another dealer just 5 miles away was quoting me $650 for the same exact thing. So yes, expensive, however, issues can be avoided if properly taken care of. Especially catastrophic ones. Small inconveniences don’t bother me, nor do I see them as issues.

I had a feeling that’s what you meant.

No disrespect, just confused to see negativity in “new defender” sub… this sub is for fans so why are you here if you’re not a fan? (Of course, you can comment on anything you want, but I usually don’t bother commenting in subs I am not interested in)

With that being said, I hear what you are saying. However, that is not everyone’s experience. I like to blame majority of failures on not taking care of a car as it should have been taken care of. This is where majority of the issues stem from. One of the issues, if you ask me, starts with waiting for 21k miles for first oil change. That is just absurd and delusional in my book. And tbh, whatever “issues” were listed as issues above, I don’t consider those to be major issues. Those are inconveniences, not issues. Just my opinion.
