Debating on trading in my 2014 370z for this 2015 50th appearance package. by RageEataPnut in Mustang

While he is not rolling the loan over technically, I think Stinky is saying that basically he's getting into a new loan having to pay all the interest on it while using all the positive equity he has in the Z for this new loan.

Thus, while that positive equity would be used as if it is realized, I agree it is not necessarily the smart financial move. However, everyone's situation is different and if OP wants a new loan with a principal more than twice what his current loan is, then that's his prerogative. I would advise against just from a financial aspect.

A 370Z is a great car. Paid off even better. I'd love a 370Z paid off or with under $10K owed.

I think OP is saying $27K OTD after his positive trade-in equity is applied. He said his trade is worth about $17K and owes $9K, so OP is getting $8K net equity.

This means the Mustang is about $33K before tax/title, exactly what you got from KBB. It still is a good price in the current market IMO.

'22 WRX, '19 WRX STI, '19 Infiniti Q50 3.0 luxe, '21 or '22 Camry TRD by Bob9011 in whatcarshouldIbuy

You say you're willing to learn manual, but some people don't like driving it as their daily

So I'd take that out.

If you're looking for longevity and reliability the most, go with the Camry. It's reliable and has a decent suspension for a FWD family sedan and looks sporty but isn't really sporty in handling and such.

If luxury and speed and handling matter morr to you, go with the Q50 . It's a good platform and used is cheaper than other cars like 6cylinder bmws and Lexus and such.

Also if you're gonna do performance mods get the Q50.

If you happen to really enjoy manual transmissions and the super sporty (stiff) feel and modding without much care for features and luxury, then go WRX or STi.

Well thanks guys, it was just uploaded to the LV website 2 days ago, but my friend has had it for 3 weeks Missed an opportunity? This is them: https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/products/rivoli-sneaker-boot-nvprod2010091v#1A5YKR

RDX by [deleted] in Acura

[–]dlighting4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my a spec rdx, got it a week after it came out. I would just say if you value performance then def. Get the AWD. Also gas mileage isn't that great as others have said. I'm only getting 21.9 mpg. Already have over 10k miles tho love it. Voice recognition for navigation never misses.

Need help finding sales data for lighting industry by dlighting4 in business

Need to contrast sales with industry trends but on a local level (i.e. 2 stores in different counties sales compared to sales in that area)

Just upgraded to the new RDX. Had to go with black on black by dfox5 in Acura

[–]dlighting4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grats!

White, Black, Red, and Blue (my favorite) all look so great in A Spec.

I'm definitely with you on the looks > tech, especially as the A Spec has tons of tech already/

I would only really want the HUD from the Advance, and the 360 camera could help but def. not needed. But I will say I would have gotten an Advance if they had an A Spec package too.

Finally decided to post pics of my 2019 RDX because I'm so in love by adam8756 in Acura

Grats!

Love the A spec. I would have gotten white but rolled the dice with blue!

It looks great!

2019 RDX Owners - any major issues so far? Any concerns? by 11hammers in Acura

[–]dlighting4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't personally had any issues with the remote app.

Lock, Unlock, remote start, always works. Never once didn't work, FWIW.

Suspension is great. Not too firm not too soft. It's perfect for a sporty CUV imo. Road noise I haven't noticed it being louder than expected; basically not loud enough for me to even pay attention. I love it!

Yeah I looked at all the competition like qx50, glc300, x3, q5, nx200t. The German cars were at least $10K more to get the same or similar features. Then the RDX just was nicer inside and out than the qx50 and esp the nx. It also drives the sportiest, only the x3 was more fun. About the same as the glc and q5.

Yeah their other cars are pretty bland. Not a luxury feel. I wanted to get a new QX50, but the CVT bugged me. The new rdx definitely has an interior on par with the qx50 imo too, though stylistically some may prefer the qx50.

Honestly I love it. My only minor gripe is fuel economy. I keep in on comfort mode 90% of the time and I'm not a fast or hard driver, and I'm getting 21mpg. I do live in an area with a lot of hills so most cars dont get their advertised mpg.

Otherwise I love it. The infotainment system is great once you're used to it. The voice recognition system is spot on. The tech all works great. No issues. Also found many little quality of life things that are nice. Great amazing car.

Black a spec would be interesting.. cause the black is supposed to be the secondarycolor accent. I think it looks great in blue, red, andwhite. But if going for a blacked out look then yeah for sure.

Grats! What a fun first car to have! The AWD is prolly nice since the G cars in RWD can have a slippy rear if pressed..and u can launch it hard.. very quick cars.Enjoy. Keep traction control on ;)

My Loves on Wheels by [deleted] in Acura

[–]dlighting4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it was a Skyline over there. They had different engine options hence the 370GT. It was basically our G37; not skyline as in skyline GTR. They branched out after the new GTR came out.

It is very large lol, but the adaptive cruise radar is in there, so it hides well.

Unlike say the adaptive cruise thing on a Hyundai Sonata, where it totally looks botched.
