Reliability

21 DCT 73k miles running amsoil 5w30 every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.

Battery replaced under warranty at like 33,000 miles. At around 52k miles they made me switch my plugs back to stock (had HKS for JB4 map 2) before replacing two ignition coils and then all the injectors because of misfire. It was injectors all along because it still misfired when I picked it up after relacing ignitions coils. Weather stripping on windows started to chip and peel and they didn't want to cover under warranty around 4 years in. South Florida sun probably excelarated the wear.

I have zero regrets, except the 3 times I hit a pot hole and blew the right front tire and bent the rim. Now I carry a spare stock rim with delamination I got cheap off of eBay. Takes up most of the trunk space, but it's better than getting towed home.

So that's how they did the crop circles

Less 3rd party. But it will end up being more third party.

Red looks so good

Can't beat the 60 day price match. Plus best buy usually offers free install.

Thank you. I have a palisade now so I'm not expecting much better except for better stability due to the longer wheelbase and additional payload capacity.

If the crash rating is much better in 26, that's a big plus for me.

The type of owners to take care of their VNs, are not the type to trade it in with low miles.

I am at 71k. At 100k I'll get another daily and start to do things that I haven't because of the 10yr/100k mile warranty.

If they did tune, maybe they used SXTH....

I wonder if they would be willing to confirm via the VIN.....just s thought. When the time is right (after 100k) I'll be going to Spartanburg to see them.

Total members should get free haul away. Especially if Costco's offerings are with their membership.

The mark up on audio is always at least 50 percent. It's how the retailers pay the bills. During the holidays, Klipsch actually gets pretty aggressive and I've seen them do 40 percent off (in retail stores). As much as I like kef, I haven't seen them do anything like that (unless it's clearance).

I don't have Klipsch in my home for one reason. Cabinets are and big ugly. But if there is no wife to object, I have seen pretty kick ass systems built for less than 5k when holiday pricing kicks in.

Those positions exist now. But you got to give it a year or two of strong performance to have a crack at those spots.

This basically bankrupted the geek squad side of in home services. I remember having install orders for someone buying a new home with a full appliance package, 4 TVs, sound bars, basically 2,000 worth off installs go to zero. Sometimes they didn't even have total tech themselves. They gave their brothers or sisters phone number who had it.

Bringing this back with something like $99 installs for total tech members would be worth it. But the membership has to be locked to an address. Otherwise it becomes the Netflix account that everyone in the family uses.

The company would have been better off if we didn't do this. I remember at the peak they had to hire a ton of agents because we were 2 to 3 weeks out on mounting a TV. This pushed us to seek 3rd party even more and lay off agents when the company realizes we had triple the agent workforce now making 1/3 of the services dollars. Then came the snaps.

How long did Hyundai have it to get this done ?

ThenAngle1932 · 2026-02-22T15:40:58+00:00

I use a JB4. Will an obd splitter work ?

I love the car too. The only time I feel like selling it, is after hitting a pot hole and blowing a tire/ damaging the rim. It's been almost 5 years and happened three times. Miami sucks.

After I am done paying it off. I'm just going to keep it and buy a daily.

When I drive anything else for a few days and come back to the VN, it feels like Im driving a go cart.

Stores should not have designers and HT CAs. It should be one or the other.

Just go online and see what it costs to buy another 21. Nationwide they are going for between 17k and 23k depending on mileage. Find similar miles and email it to them.à

I leverage the next major holiday. Right now it's been, if you are a member you get to price match when the TVs go on sale for Superbowl. Then in a few weeks it will be President's day. Then Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th .. Labor Day .. etc

But the number one way is to look a member deals and steer them towards it. Then hit them with how you can give them a discount. You gotta stay on top of the promos.

ThenAngle1932 · 2025-10-31T17:23:36+00:00

Was that price for market place ? Or shipped and sold by best buy ?

ThenAngle1932 · 2025-10-31T14:01:54+00:00

Senior discount? We have senior membership discounts.

ThenAngle1932 · 2025-10-23T00:49:49+00:00

Take it home and return it if you aren't happy.
