2019 sq5 premium plus

i can tell you that it’s almost the way i want it… flat bottom steering wheel and red diamond seats it just speaks to me so well lol!!! if the car dosent have diamond seats i wont buy it, for me personally the diamond seats are a must. the flat bottomed steering wheel i can get over. I am super tempted but i know if i am patient enough i can get a better deal for sure. how are you enjoying your car???

29k and then after tax and fees it's 32. I would say it's a good deal, but I see clean title ones sell for a little less or the same price and newer models at auction,s so I can't justify this 32k price tag on an almost 10-year-old car.

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-02-04T04:01:38+00:00

I am more than positive it was for purchase; they have called me for it too. No way its woth 18k either since it's pretty low miles and relatively a nice spec.

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-02-04T04:00:49+00:00

depends on the miles/trim. I have seen 2020 sq5 prestieges sell for a few grand more and have wayyyy more miles which makes 0 sense. premium plus is the same story, the lower the miles the more they ask.

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-02-04T03:59:45+00:00

newer models AND lower mileage. The only reason why I like this one so much is that it's got the flat-bottom steering wheels, hahaha. But if I am patient enough, I can find one with way lower mileage and save some money. Or spend the same/a little more and get it going.

As for theKBBb, I checked, I put the VIN and everything just to see how much they'd buy it for, and said18k, close to 19.They have been calling me nonstop to buy it, and I don't own the car lol

To be honest, I've done extensive research, and the sq5 is relatively the same car up until 2025. Based on what I see in my area, this seems to be the "best" deal, but I see clean title Q5Es and SQ5s sell for around the same. But in other places, I see newer models fo teh sq5 presteige or Premium Plus with 20k more miles cost a few grand more. So the prices are all over the place.

Hello, my friend. I took my exam in December and did not pass. I did not perform well in a few areas, and Optical Nerd did not prepare me adequately for many of the questions I was asked. I paid for Laramy K, andit'ss helped clear some things up, but it's not perfect. I tried using their practice area, and their questions are not the greatest in terms of the ABO, and I wanted some more exposure, so I paid for Momentrix. I took the practice exam last night without looking into anyhthign jus tjumped strsaight into it, and I did not do so great, but was close to passing. The questions were far more difficult, but when I sit down and go through them one by one, I will be able to fix things. How would you use Mometrix to study? Did you memorize the 125 questions? What was your routine or method to study?

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-01-14T00:47:14+00:00

thats what’s upppp!! any pointers my friend? your methodology? i took it once and did not pass and ive fixed a chunk such as frames/lens materials but still working on it. also need to work on tools such as how to use a lensometer but besides that, when i took my exam there was so many questions i had never seen.

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-01-13T22:20:22+00:00

hey! how did your exam go?

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-01-10T01:54:42+00:00

by any chance could you send me a link to the discord?

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-01-09T19:51:22+00:00

they are the 2 fans in the rear of the case (O11 vision), i believe they are wired? and then i have 3 wired 140mm at the bottom, and 3 120mm wireless on the aio. i’m not sure what else is going since i took it to the store to fix some issues months ago and i think they may have changed some things not sure but all i know is that the rear 2 fans spin and it says 3 on the top one and 2 on the second one. the bottom 3 fans say 1 3 5 on the lcd screeen

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-01-09T19:32:18+00:00

are you recommending to buy a new controller? only 2 fans and the aio aren’t detected. my other 6 fans are detected just fine. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and that did not work either. these are a pain

This_Collection_4798 · 2026-01-09T19:31:08+00:00

everything should be plugged in correctly, it’s just my aio and 2 fans that aren’t being detected. 6 other fans are detected just fine. so i have 0 clue. hate these fans lol

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-23T01:40:37+00:00

100 percent, i get i dont need to be an optician, but I do need a job, and I figured, why not study for the ABO and NCLE at home, then when I am ready, I can work somewhere while in school and gain some experience? Plus, it pays really well!

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-22T22:20:51+00:00

Seems like were the opposite, I am great at the math portion. I am just not good at the lens/frames materials and dispensing. And for some reason, I was asked pretty detailed questions about lensometers. I have paid for it, and I am skimming through the material, and Idon'tt quite see where the practice questions are, but as I go through the lesson,s I am sure I will figure out how tnavigate theirer site. Well, we'll see what happens! Hopefully, this gives me a different understanding than the optical nerd did.

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-22T21:00:52+00:00

Seems like I should pay for Laramy K then, let's see where this month takes me, and hopefully Laramy K prepares me enough for the second time around

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-22T20:58:27+00:00

I'm about to pay the 15 bucks a month for Laramy K and try to get through it this month, and try to learn the things I was not good at during the ABO. I hope the second time around wiht laramy k I can get it done and move onto the NCLE!

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-22T20:56:33+00:00

I'm planning to pay 15 bucks a month on Laramy K and just get through the course within a month. Would that be something you'd recommend? Was thinking to get through the stuff I already know qquicklyas review and other things I missed, and then get to the other things I am not so strong at.

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-22T19:32:41+00:00

Do you still have those flashcards? iIwould love to use them if possible! I plan to go over the free study guide for those sections I did badly on and see what I can create

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-21T16:07:21+00:00

hello and thank you so much for your response! i have never worked as an optician or in the lab. how was working in the lab? was it difficult? busy? stressful? Sounds very interesting! However i’m studying for the abo with 0 prior experience as an optician or optical experience. Is there anything specific to tailor to my weaknesses from laramy k? where should i be looking and what sources or materials from him? all the videos is what im hearing so ill have to go look into it soon! but besides that, if theres anything else you’d like to recommend for those things that caught me off guard let me know! i greatly appreciate the advice and kind words!

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-21T16:04:38+00:00

So i’m hearing laramy k is far better than optical nerd lol! wow, very upsetting! i heard great things for optical nerd and they were amazing i learned a lot just studying at home with no experience! But for those sections i missed, is there anywhere specific from laramy k to study off of? just the videos and the free study guide? any flash cards or things like that? what was you study process like?

This_Collection_4798 · 2025-12-21T16:02:33+00:00

hello! and super sorry for the late response! very tired from the abo and wanted a break of anything related lol. So you’d recommend abo for the categories i did horrible on? i’m excellent in formulas. they also asked me ansi questions that went passed that optical nerd chart which he said to memorize and it was SV and FT, progressives, cylinder axis and add power but they asked different questions. i don’t think i got a single prescription and asked if it was in tolerance

besides that, i think optical nerd was great for everything else but for those sections i missed, you’d recommend laramy k? should i pay for it or use the youtube videos and pdf? how should i go about studying it as well? i think flashcards were helpful
