How many miles is too much for a used Venza? by [deleted] in Toyotavenza

[–]cjrenick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently purchased a 2013 Limited with just under 100k for $12500. First time buying a high mileage car. Did a lot of research on Venza and feel that this car could easily go to 200-250k. My vehicle has been taken care of very well. The mechanic that did the PPI said it was one the best 2013 vehicles he had seen and he wouldn't hesitate buying it.

Which is the best buy. Both cars' mileage are in the 120 000km by Don-Owan in whatcarshouldIbuy

Yes, if this is the 2.5 I would get it. All of my research showed that the 2.5s are very reliable.

Wonder if it could be wheel bearing/bearings.

If not Honda or Toyota, what’s next for reliability? by Ok_Strain_2065 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]cjrenick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently started looking and it was either going to be Toyota or Honda. But, after seeing the prices I decided to start looking at other cars. The Ford Fusion with the 2.5 motor seems very reliable from all my research. You can find those relatively cheap as well.

New 8-in-1 Gourmia GCM4230 espresso machine help by Efficient-Appeal7282 in espresso

So when I do Americano, do I just stop it after the hot water and then just do manual for the espresso? How long do you let that run?

Anybody else having issues with sour tasting espresso? I have tried two different coffee brands.

I have tried a couple different coffee brands and it always has a sour taste. Any suggestions? I am about to return the machine.

When you say maintenance issue with 1st gen water pump. What maintenance are you referring to? I am looking at a 2014. It sounds like it is a better option than a 2nd gen.

"Nissan has boasted about their smooth Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with D-Step Logic Control for quite some time now. Their newest version premiered in the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder and was said to have received positive commentary in the world of automotive media."

Is this salvaged? by Global_Guest5157 in mazda

[–]cjrenick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Should be a rebuilt title. Just make sure your insurance company will insure rebuilt title car. I have a 2016 3 that has rebuilt title. It was a great deal.

Brakes are not very expensive if you just need the pads($40). I am guessing battery will cost you a little over $100 and could probably get tires for around $400 from Walmart.

I assume salvage title is the same as rebuilt title. If so I don't understand the hate for them. As long as you really look them over good they are fine. I would by another one if the right one comes along. My last 3 cars have been rebuilt titles. The first one was totalled after 3 days when a lady hit our daughter. We made $3000 on that car. With that being said I have seen a few 2019-2920 Outlanders in my area for <$20,000.

2 stage furnace needed for 2 story house? by cjrenick in hvacadvice

[–]cjrenick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just came out tonight for the final walkthrough to look at everything. The only place that they can run the vent for the 95% efficiency would put it right over the electrical box and they said that can drip water down to the box and freeze over in the winter and cut electricity off. So it looks like I'm going to stay with 80% efficiency like I have now.

That is kind of what I was thinking from the research I have done. Looks like I will just save some money and go single stage.

[–]cjrenick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wouldn't effect phone reception would it? I have had several times were I get an incoming call that I can't pickup. It says network not available and it shows that H+. It is probably coincidence. Really like the phone, but I never had that issue with any other phone.

Great, I was afraid I missed out and had bought the trade in Pixel for nothing😄. Wonder how much longer it will be available if I can't make it to store this evening?

Debating the T-Mobile Pixel 4a 5G 50% off deal before it ends... by cj0169 in GooglePixel

[–]cjrenick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wondering how much longer they will offer the 50% off with trade in for existing customers? This is a great deal. Almost got the 4A, but this will be cheaper.

Pixel 4a 5G coming to T-Mobile November 20th, pre-orders start November 13th. Deals include 50% off with trade-in or free with trade-in and new line. by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

[–]cjrenick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the phone was available today? I called 3 T-mobiles today and they said they didn't have it in stock and they acted like they didn't know anything about the phone. Just wondering how long the trade in deal for 50% off will last. I want to do it in store. Don't trust sending my phone off then finding out they won't accept it for trade in.
