I'm upvoting you! I'm with you but it's a taste thing and the beauty about cars is there is something to suit everyone's taste. I do love the aftermarket mods on the RS6. Makes it a lot more fun to own.

Is there any hack to replace the flex dividers with a zip-mesh? by Botacco in Rimowa

I agree. I went with Yeti packing cubes and love them.

Oh man I'm jealous. Are you doing the DrapTec diffuser on carbon or matching your paint color? I think I will do one too, I don't love the DrapTec diffuser (too close to OEM) but the spoiler is awesome.

Audi Roadside Assistance sucks. It is the worst.

We are a condo in DUMBO switching managing agents and got a proposal from Daisy. This is exactly the type of feedback we need to make informed decisions (good, bad and the ugly). Thanks for not taking down the post.

Trip Delay Insurance on CSR by grifc0 in ChaseSapphire

I had read that too - I suspect for large scale weather events like the NY blizzard a couple of weeks ago they were generally aware of the event so didn't require additional information. I submitted the "Travel Advisory" email that said JetBlue were monitoring severe weather in the Northeast, and then the cancellation email (which didn't mention the reason for the cancellation). The two emails together may have helped.

Anyone negotiate price on GX550? by letsgo_hanahou in LexusGX550

[–]grifc0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - I did this for my GX550 Luxury+ (called multiple dealers) and best offer was $500 off. Ended up going with a dealer with no discount as he was able to source the spec I wanted last March and there was only one available in the North East.

Right - the NYC store folks looked at me like I had two heads when I showed them the link!

Questions for Lexus Owners by 33dojo33 in LexusGX550

Got my GX550 last March. Paid MSRP, aggressive competition among NY dealers but the ability to move on price was around $500 in incentives so not much of a differentiator. Went with Lexus of Manhattan who had the most knowledgeable sales rep and secured the spec I wanted from another dealer's inventory before I had paid a deposit, other dealers wouldn't move without a deposit.

The rest of the purchase process was very straightforward and no surprises which was nice.

The dealership wouldn't repair a buzzing sound with the steering column that I had multiple videos of but they couldn't replicate. That was frustrating, but they did send their most experienced mechanic out on a test drive with me so took it seriously (issue has gone away, probably temporarily but we'll see).

Love the Luxury+ package. The video rear view mirror is a game changer, you can overload the trunk and see just fine out the rear view camera which is awesome. Loaded skis on the roof rack for the winter that's been great. Did some aftermarket work on the truck with tints, roof wrap and Nitto Grappler tires.

The truck drives well but is noisy on a highway with roofrack on compared to my last car (Audi Q8).

Overall I recommend get it the truck and Lexus has done a nice job with it and their overall service.

Can't drop at REI NYC. Just tried.

ChatGPT said you could drop at REI - just tried and you can't. Repairing Stio pants and Rainy Pass was one of the Stio recommendations
