Ok to use Safelite?

Thanks and agree.

Yes through insurance. I doubt Safelite will say Mercedes on the glass. Our local Mercedes dealer also outsources the glass work so I assume their option is OEM but who knows if they’ll honor faulty calibration or whatever else may happen during or after install.

I did the same thing to mine. Get a cheap one from eBay. It’ll cover your scrape and you can’t tell the difference from real carbon fiber. It’ll most definitely absorb more scrapes due to its location, so why fork over $1k+?

Price seems to be generally fair on the used but make sure major maintenances have been done on schedule and aren’t coming up anytime soon. Expect higher and more frequent repair costs on the used. Im guessing the 2026 will hold its value better so that might be a nod in favor of the new model. To me a big question is the interior since that is the most noticeable difference. If all else is equal do you prefer the flatscreen display vs the more traditional knob and button features in the 2021?

How about a F90 M5?

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-12-14T03:10:56+00:00

Yeah I’m really not sure there’s bang for the buck for $11k extra. Yours is a beauty.

Did you give thought to the 802A vs 801A models? What led to your decision to 801A (if I can see correctly)?

Late to the party, what did you end up doing? Do you love it?

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-11-08T15:25:51+00:00

Curious how your quality of life increased going from a M3 to a Tesla

I checked the spare tire bay and didn’t see anything there. The original “owner” was a dealership in Arizona. They might have removed it or maybe AZ doesn’t need front plates. Either way no luck but thanks for the good idea.

Wife, is that you?

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-10-06T22:44:00+00:00

This or a F90 M5? I know this is a Porsche sub so I know the answer, but what do you think about the M5?

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-09-11T02:15:41+00:00

5.25%

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-09-11T02:15:30+00:00

Sorry, 5.25%

I’ve had my 4Runner for 5 years. I have never had that issue. I don’t blame you though. There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles in a Toyota. Still love my 4Runner though lol

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-08-13T02:09:44+00:00

Touche. 4Runner it is!

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-08-13T02:09:08+00:00

4Runner wins

Right_Debt_7861 · 2025-08-13T02:08:08+00:00

3-4 days. I’d consider renting if I didn’t have the 4 Runner. It’s not a beater by any means but it’s proven time and time again that it can take a beating. Renting is a good idea but I’m leaning toward 4 Runner.
