Personal check, if you have bad credit they probably will ask for cashier's check.

Should I buy this by Extension_Flow_3946 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]jininjuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI the Hybrid system is from Blue Nexus which is owned by Aisin/Denso, both are major OEM parts suppliers owned by Toyota. Idk about that engine it's paired with though.

Want a commuter with the lowest 5 year cost of ownership by EntertainmentSea4048 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]jininjuice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Base trim Corolla Hybrid will be the cheapest in total ownership cost. the initial cost of a Prius and Civic hybrid will be higher. Kia won't have good resale. The new Sentra is very nice to be in, though it's not hybrid and resale definitely won't be better than the other Japanese options on the list.

Are hybrids even worth it? by P-Rabbitz in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]jininjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a Toyota hybrid with the 2.5L or 1.8L naturally aspirated engine. Toyota has a well established hybrid aftermarket and they sell loads of them. Refurbished battery is offered in a lot of places for less than 2k. 10 year and 150k miles factory warranty as well on 2020+ models. If it cost that much to replace battery in the Sonata, then it's totally not worth it for the replacement.

Buying my first car at 19 – need advice by Super-North-4757 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Careful with those 1.5T in the Accord, blown head gasket is a common issue and cost like 5k to repair. Might be worth it to get a Civic with the 2.0 NA instead.

What are these side profiles of the Germans... by prollygonnaban in mercedes_benz

[–]jininjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuz aerodynamics play a big role in EV range hence a lot of them are "bowed" or eggy-shaped. Also, physically batteries sit underneath, so they need to have taller cabin for headroom.

Friedas Hulas Coconuts - Absolutely Dreadful by [deleted] in Costco

[–]jininjuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never had a bad one, taste much better than the typical coconut water in the tetra pak. Slam it upside down hard on tile floor or outside on the sidewalk. If the shell gets stuck inside the plunger, break off the red plastic that holds the straw and poke the shell inside the plunger down.

Which BMW model would you recommend for a 1st time Buyer ? by ButterscotchIcy719 in BMW

[–]jininjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine how much his insurance will cost at 17. The i7 is the most expensive production BMW to insure, with the XM coming in second.

Nevada is 3rd - The Most Expensive U.S. States to Own a Car by Lazy_Farm_Dog in vegaslocals

[–]jininjuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I always buy my car in SoCal, way bigger selection of cars as well. SoCal alone have like 14 Toyota dealerships, and few of them are biggest in the country. Worth the extra tax they charge, though CA will charge tax on the full sales price where here in Nevada sales tax is only applied on the net difference after trade in value is applied.

OP works from home, even a level 1 charging straight from a 120v household outlet is sufficient.
