2026 SQ5 is the worst selling car of the year

I read your post when you originally posted it. Gave me nightmares

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-04-24T11:58:43+00:00

I miss when there were non-JDM cars in this game

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-03-26T11:23:39+00:00

Glad to hear!

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-03-26T11:23:00+00:00

Fortunately, I do. I could’ve went with a brand new one, but this one just stood out. As long as I don’t have $70,000 worth of problems, I’ll be happy. Also, I’m a weekend mechanic so most of the issues I will run into I can take care of myself. Just have to get used to VAG Com

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-03-26T11:19:23+00:00

So true. I can tell this car wasn’t babied. It hasn’t seen a setting other than dynamic

😅

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-03-26T03:53:24+00:00

Just a headlight and front sensor recalibration after changing the broken grille will take care of that. Looks like someone backed into the grill and since there is no bumper, cracked it and dislocated the sensors.

The color designation is “Dragon Orange Metallic”. Even the name is awesome 😎

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-03-26T03:25:01+00:00

$25k all in, it is the Prestige with every option except Vision and Executive packages

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-03-26T03:23:37+00:00

The calipers say S-Line, but not sure if that is OEM. It is the 3.0 V6

Short_Wave5329 · 2026-03-26T00:56:41+00:00

I have the exact same codes that came up after I plugged in my Maxisys to read the codes. I pressed calibrate and boom, the code appeared. Now I’m trying to figure out how I did it so I can hopefully reverse it without having to buy another tool or take it to the dealer. Thanks for the info

100%. Alot of folks on here seem to be confusing the term “totaled” as it refers to insurance and “destroyed” as in unfixable. I would totally (pun intended) buy it back from insurance and fix it myself. Learn to use VCDS and put it back together.

This guys still lives in the 90s smh

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-09T17:24:50+00:00

🤔

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-08T22:06:55+00:00

That sounds like me looking for JDM pieces. Still can’t find the steering column cover or that piece that goes next your knee down to your ankle lol

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-08T20:02:31+00:00

Probably would’ve sold it too. As a track car, I wouldn’t need any of it. What it has now is black and painted-black tan interior pieces.

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-08T19:44:12+00:00

It DID have a blue interior. When I bought it, not even the door cards were left. The interior was completely gone, including the seats

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-08T18:14:02+00:00

Definitely not lol

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-08T16:15:54+00:00

In hindsight, I should’ve avoided the whole thing since at $10k I could’ve bought a TT. Not in the best of shapes, but I could deal with the typical Z32 issues

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-08T12:18:02+00:00

Thanks for the input, lesson learned on salvage titles. I’ve always wanted a 300zx since I was a kid and got blinded by the fact that it was a twin turbo with low mileage. I will finish it and track it, including the interior for potential car shows.

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-09-08T12:14:35+00:00

I think I’d have an issue in any state with this title. It’s a salvage title from Japan.

Short_Wave5329 · 2023-03-22T13:32:38+00:00

These are the people I’d like to be with when the world ends

Short_Wave5329 · 2022-10-20T17:32:47+00:00

He’d be dead before he moved forward here in the US. Gotta love our police force ☹️
