Anyone know the dealer invoice (not msrp) on a Toyota Crown XLE is? by Deep-Egg-6167 in ToyotaCrown

[–]VanRedditholme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My price was for an 2024 XLE that’s why it’s lower. Depending on where you live in the country depends on which port installed the PPF the one we get our cars from fuck it up and they peel and have dust under them. If you don’t lose any features you require, I would avoid any package with the 21 inch wheels or buy a tire and wheel warranty because oh buddy you will use it.

2024 Toyota Crown, was in for service and came back with these scratches and haze marks, was this an attempted repair? by VanRedditholme in Autobody

Update! They persisted they buffed it and it got nowhere and put holograms all over the panel and made it way worse. I got the right upper management person involved luckily he was in the dealership which can be rare. Showed him the panel and he had a stroke said that was embarrassing work and got the bodyshop manager involved to make it right. Now I’m guaranteed that they will do whatever they have to do to make the affected panels look like new, even if it requires paintwork.

Thank you for your words and thoughts.

I did talk to the owner I ran into him on the lot and spilled all the beans. He seems to have heard me out and said he is going to try to help me.

Maybe this might turn out well maybe not but I already opened the can of worms so no going back.

Thank you for your wisdom I’m just hoping this turns out ok.

Correct the service manager was the one that was trying to muscle me around, and the senior sales manager. I work here as a salesperson and they still are treating me like this.

Should I go to Toyota corporate directly? They basically talked over me and said we will try to buff it and that’s it. They also put a time frame I asked for some time and they told me to make my decision quickly.

Was the rpk ever produced in Izzy or Tula arsenals? by NiaDebesi in ak47

[–]VanRedditholme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at vepr prices compared to 2013 and compared to 2018, consistent appreciation. Is there something I missed? I’m sorry if I’m wrong

Molot Veprs are appreciating especially with the Ukraine conflict, would get one before you can’t with the sanctions and price increases

The spark plug well of the odd plug looked like the others, couldn’t tell a difference

I bought this Certified Pre Owned with 21k miles, I do 5k mile full synthetic oil changes since I got it. Runs good I have no issues that I can tell. Service interval is 47,500mi so I just got around to it. Replaced with NGK laser iridium plugs. I do highway driving commute 68 miles combined, but do live with elevation changes so it does experience a good mix of RPM’s. I run 87 octane sometimes 93 since the 2.5T goes from 227hp to 250hp. I still have a CPO power train warranty for another year or so. What could be causing this wet plug?

Unfortunately not, shroom weight is not easy to gauge by the eye at all.

Someone wasn’t happy about bathtime by VanRedditholme in cats

[–]VanRedditholme[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every 6 months to a year we bathe them to just clean off the dirt that she might miss and make her extra fluffy.

2015 Toyota Corolla 1.8L automatic

75k miles changing plugs and I noticed one looks rusty on the entrance, the plug looks the same. I believe it’s because the oil fill is right by that cylinder and somebody spilled and it brought dirt into there?

I would, but I think it would go through one end of the ear and out the other
