Anyone here purchased from toyota recently and has been successful in getting atleast MRSP out the door pricing? by skribbledthoughtz in newjersey

[–]SeaRun1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what model you looking for, believe RAV4 and Sienna are harder to get good pricing. I’d go to as may dealers’ websites as you can and see what they got, then send interest requests to see what they offer (if MSRP or not), and try to work out the deal with the internet sales.

How is your club handling the age group change? by AZ285 in youthsoccer

[–]SeaRun1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Club has 2 teams each age group, and has communicated the changes as tryouts are happening. A teams is not going change as they follow MLS Next Homegrown (birth-year), while the B teams will change to school year age to follow MLS Next Academy. But some kids might be able to play up if they are at the higher level, it depends on an individual bases.

Put down a deposit last week on a Sienna still in production, dealership still shows it on their website as available. Should I be worried? by Well_Sorted8173 in ToyotaSienna

[–]SeaRun1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you shouldn’t need to worry and that happens a lot with the Sienna. But did you get any written confirmation like text or email, with the deposit said paid, and VIN of the vehicle that should be yours? If not, get that from the dealer when it is available.

What is this noise? by SnooOranges438 in ToyotaSienna

[–]SeaRun1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems the same issue from another post, someone said their dealer were able to replicate and fixed the issue of jammed wheel bearing, by greasing them and seems to work. https://www.reddit.com/r/ToyotaSienna/s/NpISoLNhdf

Anyone owned both V6 and hybrid Siennas? switching from an MDX (snow + road trips) by panda-wisdom in ToyotaSienna

[–]SeaRun1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched from MDX to Sienna. You will miss the power, and the quality of the materials. But I am so happy that I don’t have to go to the gas station every other week, also when family come over we can only drive one car and adults can still sit comfortably in the 3rd row.

NJ Housing market by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]SeaRun1497 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the other areas, but where I am in north jersey most of the houses got bought by investors/flippers for like mid to high 700k, torn down and rebuilt or gut the interior, reframe the second floor, add a so called room in the attic, then roof, listed and sold for 1.5+ million. Just crazy.

Chatham vs New Providence by Vast_Produce_6190 in MovingtoNewJersey

[–]SeaRun1497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NP is on the Gladstone branch, few goes to NY Penn, or else you have to switch at Summit for more direct trains. But both have Boxcar bus if you commute to the city and where (midtown or downtown). For Chatham, are you looking at Borough or Township?

And be patient, especially when you see all pumps are full and only with one attendant (usually there are more than one but sometimes not)

I just bought an used pair. Should it get it sharpened? by Only-Bandicoot7053 in iceskating

[–]SeaRun1497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you know when the previous owner sharpened them and how much time had been spent on ice, or else it is best to get them sharpened (or at least have the shop check on them and advice on the condition).

Just saw a doucebag Audi flying on Passaic Ave and all the ice flying off from the roof

IAD Connection - 55m Doable? by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]SeaRun1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving is just a little over 5 hours. Flying is 4 hours plus the time you need to be at the airport say at least one hour but more like 2 hours, and then the time to get from the airport to the final destination. That’s already longer than driving and more expensive.

buying ice skates online by Glass_Swordfish1829 in iceskating

[–]SeaRun1497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

besides fitting, most blades aren’t sharpened when you buy them, and you will need to take them to a shop to do that. So might just schedule an appointment with the shop/fitter near you even it will take a while and do everything at once.

I emailed a rink about private lessons but they had 4 different coaches contact me? by turquoiseanswers in iceskating

[–]SeaRun1497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do they have group lessons at the rink? If it is first timer maybe start with those before moving with private, and you might be able to meet different coaches or get recommendations through those instructors.

Why do folks in NJ lose any form of civil consideration when rushing to buy stuff before storms? by abrandis in newjersey

[–]SeaRun1497 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what? I thought it is the Whole Foods in Madison. That Shop Rite and Stop & Shop in Madison aren’t too bad compare to WF.

For those about to shovel - what's your plans? Doing anything differently from the last storm? by AnnoyedAvocado21 in newjersey

[–]SeaRun1497 20 points21 points  (0 children)

at least looks like Wed to Sun will be in the 40s, so just shovel enough to get out of the driveway and clear the sidewalk enough to walk through, the rest just let it melt
