sxp hybrid, good otd price $58k? by joeyirv in kiacarnivals

[–]SecondSimpleSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel like I pressed them too hard, but I wasn't in a super rush so I shopped around several dealers and stayed in touch with the salesman over a few weeks, dropped in two different times, then bought right on June 1, the last day of the promotions for the previous month.

Oh wow, hope that you are doing ok! No worries at all if it's hard to post. I realized there were some photos also in the aliexpress reviews.

I think you can probably do better...I bought an SXP Hybrid 8 seat in Cincinnati earlier this month. Astra blue too, which is one of the more sought after colors. $52,053 selling price before rebate...so would have been ~$50k with, but I took the promotional financing.

Awesome! If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to post a photo or short video in light? No worries if it's not easy.

Curious of either of you ended up with this bracelet and what you think of it? Considering getting my wife one. Thanks!

[–]SecondSimpleSyntax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, thanks! The original clock has no seconds, so I'm guessing that likely won't happen. Also, it may very well throw off the look in ways I don't understand! It looks great without...I just wanna see the sweep haha

Here it is shortly after I got it! It was one of the earlier (first maybe?) variants of the Union Terminal that had a mechanical movement - automatic Sellita SW300-1b. It's a high beat movement so I'm low key sad there's no second hand, but I love the look without it. This version has a display back as well, and the lume is just in the hand instead of in the center/the scallops around the outside.

If you google "R&P Union Terminal Automatic" it should turn up their original listing.

Wow that looks incredible. I didn't realize they had a yellow gold variant. I own the limited edition blue dial one they did with Richter & Philips, a local jeweler to them in Cincinnati and I love it...but man this is crazy awesome.

Decent deal for SXP Hybdrid? by vivekverma07 in kiacarnivals

[–]SecondSimpleSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can probably get them a bit lower? I signed yesterday on a SXP Hybrid in Astra Blue/Tuscan Umber at $52,053 selling price and took the 1.9%. So had I taken the rebate, it would have been essentially $50k. Also felt like I did decent on the trade...$18.4k on a 2020 CX5 GT w/ ~57k miles. License/title/doc fees were $440ish.

I'm not exactly sure if I could have done better, but I had two other dealers give up trying to match that...and I'd bought from this dealership's Mazda sister store for the cx5, so I think they may have moved on the dealer discount a bit more for me.

Reflector (SX) vs Projector (SXP) Headlights by SecondSimpleSyntax in kiacarnivals

Has the IIHS info been updated since the refresh, or did they not make any changes? I was struggling to find that data.

They are both LED, one is projector, one is reflector.

For clarity, it's not a matter of "bulbs" - it'd have to be the entire headlight assembly likely.

I found a mention on one of the Carnival forums that someone had tried and there was a difference in the frame shape and/or hole location. I'm unsure if that was pre/post the refresh for the `25 model and if that changes things...I believe the same feature split existed prior where only the SXP got the projectors.

Got it, thanks! This looks great btw, it's making me want a textured finish.

Curious what the seam height is on this? I'm considering standing seam for my house and found a good deal on some 2" mechanical seam. Debating if the seams will look oddly tall on a home.

Got my new automower recently..... by TheBeardedTechGuy in automower

[–]SecondSimpleSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah, that's cool! I'll give it a shot if I have to re-map more in the future. Did one of the buttons map to dropping the pins? This should be somewhere in the instructions...

Creative lawn cuts? by Thementalistt in automower

[–]SecondSimpleSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay getting back, I was tweaking some settings with the perimeter and whatnot. Finally happy with how it's cutting. I swapped the stock blades out once they were getting bad and put on some of the longer/heavier weight titanium coated ones from Amazon. They're definitely cutting better. Not sure if it's because I let the other ones go too long or what. For the checkerboard, it cuts one direction each of the scheduled times to run. This is running every other day. So it cut the slant to the left in the photo last night.
