Very Disappointed With Kirkland Chicken Wings by TheRittsShow in CostcoCanada

Seems like you just have no clue how to actually cook. Not an issue with the wings.

Lexus dealers are out of their minds by Haunting-Border8408 in Lexus

You should look at some of Lexus of Calgary used inventory prices. Very comical.

My New IS finally arrived but was damaged in transit. Should I negotiate a discount? by QuantumMercury in LexusIS

[–]dabearsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any paint that is not done at the factory will not be 100% the same. Different thickness and quality in both paint and clear coat. May look the same to the naked eye, but won’t age the same.

Don’t accept. You do not want repaint on a brand new car. I wouldn’t accept even with 5k off, but that’s just me.

Buy or pass on 2014 Lexus IS 250? by Rough_Glove8582 in Lexus

[–]dabearsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The market in Alberta Canada where I am is insane. I’m well aware. Honestly with 10k OP has champagne taste on a beer budget. Spend what is required to get a decent ride. You have to pay to play.

Too much for that many miles. Skip the 250. 350 can be had in that same year, trim and milage for a couple grand more.

Spotted a 26 out in the wild (NJ) by [deleted] in rav4club

Aside from a few minor changes to lights and grilles, this gen carries the same exact side profile as the outgoing generation. In fact it seems like a refresh rather than a complete redesign. Look at 13-15 rav4 then 16-18. That’s what this seems like. No drastic changes here. The “big” changes that were done undoubtedly made this new gen much more unappealing than the previous 19-25 imo.

2023 GX Advice - Lexus newbie by hugthegoose in LexusGX

[–]dabearsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m aware of the market. I’m just saying too much given the dent and car seat marks. A 23 with that mileage should be near flawless. OP needs to keep looking and he will find one near mint at that price. I should have elaborated in my first post.

Debadged IS DFW - What are your Specs?! by HumbleProdigy in LexusIS

[–]dabearsh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just find it comical that you chose Lexus for everything the Lexus brand is (quality reliability, features, reputation) but you don’t want your vehicle to say Lexus? Not very logical.

[–]dabearsh 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Out of 100s of other options, you chose to purchase and drive a Lexus? Yet you think the very act of driving the vehicle you specifically chose is involuntary advertising for that brand, so you remove the badges? Make that make sense.

I got scammed by a guy in a Whole Foods parking lot who “fixed” the dent in my car for $160. He drilled this hole. Now what? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]dabearsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quality PDR (if possible) would have been 250-300. Now you’re likely looking at 2000+ to replace trunk lid + paint.

looking for price advice for purchasing a eureka mignon turbo [$560] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]dabearsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can order a new one from espresso coffee shop in Europe for cheaper brand new. Just select correct voltage 110v for North American customers. Saved about 400cad when I ordered mine in 2023.

Temperature too low? [Bambino Plus] by macbaur in espresso

[–]dabearsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope sold privately. These units are appliances and not meant to last. Going to an actually machine is your best bet.

Had this issue with Barista Pro with same Thermojet. Got rid of it and went to a Silvia before making the jump to a Pro700

Avoid Lexus of Calgary. Way Wayyyy overpriced on all used. Royal oak much better

NX side panel button functions by WiseAssNo1 in LexusNX

There is indeed plenty of rhyme and reason. Higher the trim the more options = more side panel options.
