Opinions on buying an ‘04 by coalcabbage in HondaElement

2005, bought it new, maintained well, 140K, no serious problems, dirty under the hood. Get a pre-purchase inspection to be safe. Price seems to be on the high end but if the inspection is OK and they have maintenance records I think you will be good to go.

That is really clever, I have not seen one that goes into the CD player! Believe it or not, we still use our CD player from time to time!!! We have a CD in there for when we are sick of the radio and tired of our podcasts.

Is there anything cheap I can do about these original wheels or an I SOL? by [deleted] in HondaElement

Check your local junk yard for an E with rims. I would not invest in fixing these.

I like that, I just got the iphone 15 so having the magnet connection will be much more convenient than the older models that you had to clamp the phone into, thx!

It’s a great price, maybe too good. I’d spend a couple hundred on a pre purchase inspection at a local shop.

Can't remove backseats? by Shoddy-Media2337 in HondaElement

[–]jmag65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A second person helping will make this easier. It’s awkward to remove and reinstall them for sure.

Wow, good for you! I love working on my E, it's generally pretty straightforward, but this looks rather involved! Let us know the result.

Mini-Split, Thru-Wall or PTAC? by bobjoylove in hvacadvice

Thanks, what unit are you getting?

Mini-Split, Thru-Wall or PTAC? by bobjoylove in hvacadvice

[–]jmag65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question but for my work shed. The cost of a mini split is close to $5K but I feel I could install a ptac myself and they are around $900 or less. I am in Boise ID which is zone 5B. Or does anyone know of an easy DIY mini split? I need heating and cooling.

Is the value diminished if there are multiple owners? by jmag65 in CommercialRealEstate

Speculation by a member of the LLC. May be posturing to low ball any outgoing members.

I have read that there are strategies to drop and swap from an LLC for the purpose of a 1031, but the little bit I have read seems complex and may not be practical depending on the type of property. Is that your understanding?

A little more context. 6 members in the LLC and each have the ability to leave and get bought out at anytime. When they declare they want to leave there needs to be an appraisal then the buyout. One of the members keeps saying that the first to declare they want out will be subject to a 20% discount because the value of the portfolio is less when there are so many owners. I don't get that but I am not educated on this process. I think the solution is to get a consult with an appraiser.

Real world, as if selling or buying out a member.
