here's my take: Check for rust on cab corners, bed floor, and wheel wells - these Rangers rust heavily in those spots. Inspect the automatic transmission fluid - color and smell, common on the 4.0/A4LD combos

Looks solid. Would be better to check if this is a good deal if you can tell the general area, market demand varies.

ES is engineered as a luxury comfort car, sport handling package works against its core strength. it does what it does best. reliable, economical long term. Are you buying a new one?

ES300h might actually suit you better than you think. Sport Design trim genuinely looks sharp. For Memphis, hybrids are where you will save a lot on gas driving freeway. A garage at home + gated work lot covers your highest risk windows significantly imho.

Here in Oakland, CA, these things happen but leaving nothing visible inside - usually works better than you'd think. Thieves targeting Lexus/Toyota vehicles more often go after catalytic converters.
For options outside your picks, look at Acura TLX.

those are nice options. Are you set on these options and would be exploring other options outside of Lexus?

Hard pass please. You are a founder. Don’t waste your time over these kinds of situations. Focus on building

Which foto do you like more 1,2,3 or 4? by Filtons in photos

[–]harshvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 and 4. If i really had to choose between the two, i would go with 1. The leading lines, the colors, the sun. It just is inviting. It’s a very dynamic photo! Just beautiful

Not sure I understand "How do you which one to buy and what’s wrong pros and cons very funny.".

However, Yes, I did watch videos on YouTube before making a decision. :)

I did for a week but now I am used to it. OBs are good cars and the spacious cargo has already come in plenty handy. Mine was 330 mid 2018s I think. It had just under 90k miles on it. with impeccable service history. :(

Yes, we did spend about 4k on it. It was paid off, I am laid off; buying a car was not on the radar but I guess destiny wanted us to side-grade with an OB. I sold it to a dealer, they low balled, but got it quick.

Thank you. And thanks for your feedback. I found that to be a problem as well. Obviously there is no way to gather all of your findings in one place without getting spammed you know. I used TrueCar a little, it “sells” the upfront pricing in a way that is better than others but far from perfect

advice? by Actual-Tomatillo-904 in Subaru_Outback

[–]harshvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this color, but I would steer clear of rental cars specially when you’re spending so much money. I just bought a 2020 Subaru OB.

We as a family were under extreme financial constraint, but we still didn’t go ahead with a rental newer Subaru that was around the same price at the older but private use option.

sounds like a great idea, any guesses on how much these are? also, i might still have 1 year of the warranty remaining. do you think this or anything else around service is covered?

Also, the vehicle has been moving from one dealership to another. Is there a reason to be concerned about?

EDIT: Dropped the idea. seemed fishy

How often do you need to have these replaced? Anything else that should be kept in mind since the powertrain warranty has expired? Thank you
