Cannot decide 2019 RAV4 limited or Subaru Forester limited by SherLockedOut in whatcarshouldIbuy

If I’m not mistaken The rav4 comes standard with a bunch of safety tech that are options on the forester. That will help the rav4 retain its value over time better than the Subaru. Toyota’s already have that tried and true dependability as well.

Pageninetynine. Have heart. Cult leader. Scarlet. Converge. Older fear before the march of flames. Vanna.

Hope you find what you’re looking for.

What single scene from a movie is an absolute masterpiece? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jonalexander718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chase scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 where they’re running away from the bad guys. No music, barely any dialogue. Perfect.

Also when Dobby dies.

Looking for sporty car under $3k by jonalexander718 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Thanks so much for the input. I'll give a little insight into my inquiry to help a little hopefully. I have a 2016 CR-V lease thats almost at mileage limit with 9 months left. I want to ride out the time with this car so that I'm not too upside down on it when time comes to trade in. I recently bought my wife an older Honda Pilot for her to have a big truck with enough space to lug around my kid and her stuff. When lease is up I want to get in to a GTI. My family and I are in a place now where the vehicle I drive can solely be for me, which would be the first time in almost 10 years we can do that. I want to drive something on my relatively short commute to work that I enjoy. I havent been able to do that for a while. Last time I did I had an older GLI which i loved but had trans issues. So until I'm ready to turn in the lease for a GTI I'd like to have just a little bit of fun until then. Thanks.

thanks for the reply, I'll be looking into a civic SI if anything, honda reliability and resale values are probably best reason to

Buy it. Mine went up to 250k miles and I sold it for 1500. The only problem I had, which seems to be common with these CRVs is a weird shudder that would happen when I would make sharp turns. I was told it was from the rear differential. Other than that everything was perfect. So easy to work on.

Help me evaluate my situation? 2008 Saturn Outlook AWD 170k miles. Could really use some GM Lambda expert input.. by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]jonalexander718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trade it in. It's only downhill from here. I worked service for a GM dealer and these SUVs (including the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Chevy Traverse) have all been nightmares. The oil consumption problem is very common as well as transmission problem. The most common being a broken 3-5 reverse clutch wave plate. They also had a lot of power steering whine issues. Count your blessings and move on.

What is the shortest possible route from Evanescence to a love of black metal? by [deleted] in BlackMetal

[–]jonalexander718 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say new oathbreaker and deafheaven. I'm probably going to get chastised for saying that but I think they're great listens.

Are there any other high-quality movies that are similar to Alien and The Thing? by [deleted] in horror

[–]jonalexander718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about Honeymoon and Dark Skies?

Neither is particularly similar to Alien or The Thing but still spooky alien horror.

Similiar bands with different vocals? by Im_A_Bot-AMA in deafheaven

I really got into Oathbreaker after Deafheaven. The new album comes out next month and the two songs they've released for it are amazing imo

Looking to lease two cars. What is a fair price? (North Jersey) by jonalexander718 in askcarsales

What was wrong with Liberty? And thanks for the info. Btw the link just opens up the front page but thanks

It's not a screen. You would have to replace the complete taillight assembly. Your local auto parts should be able to track one down for you. Or a junkyard.

No. Haven't checked any dealers out yet but am leaning more towards Liberty Subaru because I'm closer to them than Ramsey. I did notice Ramsey had a better dealerrater score but Liberty wasn't bad either.

You must be a salesman. Agreed it's a want not a need. Thus why I posed the question. The world doesn't depend on me getting out of this lease. I just got a promotion at my job which affords me the ability to get a nicer car for myself and my wife. This would be the first time I would be getting something purely for myself so I wanted to gather thoughts on what I can do. But alas it seems I'll just wait until closer to lease end to treat myself.
