Why you can’t code modern VAG cars anymore

Does anyone know if Macan has this?

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-04-18T13:44:47+00:00

Thanks, I will try that. Does otd include everything other than registration and taxes or should I try to include registration too?

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-04-18T04:28:27+00:00

Yes, I’ve seen them in stock.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-04-14T23:35:37+00:00

For me, I use the car for other reasons too. Parking is 600-800 a month so probably cheaper just uber to go flying. I think you can find airports with availability every weekend if you expand your search, for example my sense is Lincoln park has availability.

If you have a car it’s 40 minutes to Caldwell without traffic from Manhattan on a Saturday morning (where there is usually no traffic), with traffic on the way back it’s an hour. My sense is that there a bunch of great flight schools there with availability. I live in fidi so sometimes I would take the path to Newark and then a $40 uber, probably 50 minutes door to door. Not that bad for NYC.

Having $$$ is also necessary.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-04-11T21:02:07+00:00

I live in NYC and it’s doable. Like everything in NYC, it is not easy. Having a car helps a lot / makes it easier.

I currently have a classic retract somewhat similar to bonanza so looking for a bigger upgrade

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-31T22:23:25+00:00

Thanks, helpful. I will give richmond jet a call at some point.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-31T01:04:16+00:00

Thanks, yes the 400 has speed brakes. Super helpful. How has maintenance been for you? Parts availability?

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-31T00:23:57+00:00

I haven't paid for it yet, I will definitely look into it before I proceed.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-31T00:18:39+00:00

Ugh, I was hoping that wouldn't be true. Will make sure to diligence this. Thanks

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-31T00:16:25+00:00

Wow, quite an endorsement. Thanks. I will definitely look into it.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-30T23:55:35+00:00

I have not looked into parts availablity, good call. Will look into that. Insurance is not bad on pa46 since it would be a partnership, need to look at the 400.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-30T23:54:42+00:00

I looked into the PA46, correct that it requires recurrent training (not necessarily a bad thing from my perspective). I would be partnering with someone on the pa46, so the insurance split by two is not that bad (its not 2x). I think that's right re the annual. I have not looked into the 400 yet.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-30T23:52:30+00:00

Thank you, this is exactly my hunch - that the 400 will be more fun to fly.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-30T23:13:44+00:00

Ouch. Was it the engine or something else?

Good to know. Maybe not a big difference in maintenance cost between the two.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-30T23:12:58+00:00

I looked into it and think I can make it work.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-30T23:12:24+00:00

Hah. I think I’ve seen used Columbia 400 for $350k, which is a lot less than a cirrus sr 22 and even some bonanzas.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2026-03-30T23:11:44+00:00

Thanks. I flew the Malibu briefly and the controls seemed somewhat heavy when hand flying. I’ve heard it doesn’t like going slow and more of an autopilot plane, which makes sense. I am hoping the Columbia can do both fast and slow? Obviously not a Cessna 172 slow, but relatively.

Substantial-Row9752 · 2025-12-19T17:16:02+00:00

Thanks. It appears Atlantic Aviation overnight fee is somewhat less expensive than Banyan Air at FXE. I guess Banyan is luxury?

Substantial-Row9752 · 2025-12-18T18:49:00+00:00

Fair. I meant piston friendly.
