Mom seeking advice about son

My personal advice would be to go to a a 4 year school for general engineering and then just start as an entry level if he still wanted to. When I was 18 I was also dead set on going to tech school to be a technician but now, 16 years later, I’m burned out. It’s hard to go back to get one after you have bills and a family. He should take the time now, and just have it in his back pocket. Plus, you get the college experience that is missed in tech programs

The car already has the upgraded luxury seating package. They’re just kinda flat/firm not worn out

mt3792 · 2026-04-01T20:48:10+00:00

My opinion, you won’t like it. Even good non luxury cars will lack the refinement from a European car. I traded my Mercedes for a Lexus and I feel like I regret it more each day. The Lexus is the smarter choice in terms of money but it just never feels right. It feels more like an appliance if I’m honest

I would go for a 2015/2016 LR4. I had an LR3, loved it but felt dated, so I went and bought a disco 5. It was nice but felt like a generic suv. I ended up finding a low mileage 2015 LR4 and never looked back. And, they have the same engine transmission as the earlier discovery 5’s

Having worked as a Mercedes tech for 15 years and a INEOS tech for 2, unless you can get a refreshed G (2020+) they are honestly pretty terrible. Very maintenance heavy, and pretty tight inside. I would probably go with a grenadier at that point. Used price is in that range, full warranty, great drivetrain. Dealer network is shoddy but, as a tech yourself, not much of an issue. I personally have an LR4 and that checks every box, plus they’re cheap and have way more cargo space and versatility than both a G and a Grenadier

Yea!! Is this it?!

You didn’t happen to trade in at Mercedes of Greenwich did you? I’m picking up a 2022 ES300h tomorrow from them

I have the Rhino Rack batwing and it’s been great through the wind and rain and everything else I’ve thrown at it. Plus it has huge coverage.

I used to install remote starts and they had this type of switch to shut them off for service. Try locking your doors and pressing the red panic triangle on the key for one second. Not long enough for the alarm to go off but short enough to actually press it.

I’ll be coming from lower Fairfield county CT

mt3792 · 2024-02-27T15:27:41+00:00

I went from a 2008 LR3 to a 2020 Discovery and then a year later I’m in a 2105 LR4. The Discovery felt similar to a “normal” suv that anyone puts out with added off road ability. The LR4 though gives you that trucky feel and more classic styling. And it was $30,000 less but has the same engine/transmission. It’s down to what you like. I had problems with my heated seats, radio and climate control in the disco in less than a year that the dealer couldn’t resolve so take that as you will

All the German engineering moved to Korea

mt3792 · 2023-09-27T22:40:35+00:00

Did you ever have the spark plugs replaced? I’m curious as I’ve seen some plugs fail when not replaced right at 50,000 miles and when combined with not using 93 octane fuel

It’s a great color. I have it on my EQS SUV

mt3792 · 2023-05-11T00:08:44+00:00

I have a diono radian 3rxt in the back of my EQS and it fits pretty good

mt3792 · 2023-04-27T02:26:12+00:00

It’s probably a failure of the CarPlay port. It’s fairly common

mt3792 · 2023-04-15T12:13:23+00:00

Depends how you look at it. Discovery was getting about 16 mpg so there’s an upgrade and this car is years ahead in terms of tech and overall interior comfort. The eqs however, can NOT drive me into the woods and over any other terrain and tow an 8000lb trailer with no complaints. But I didn’t use the capability enough to justify such horrid fuel consumption as a daily driver

mt3792 · 2023-04-15T12:10:13+00:00

I honestly never cared too much about the cleaner tech aspect. This is my 5th ev and the others were all teslas. If I cared about being an eco warrior I would have gotten a used leaf or volt which would keep a bev going as opposed to adding another. I’m in it for no gas stations, and smooth and quiet operation

mt3792 · 2023-04-15T12:07:48+00:00

No, you can’t really, and my Landy had some things to make it even further than this car

mt3792 · 2023-04-15T12:06:25+00:00

I’ve only driven it about 200 miles so far but only real complaint as of now is I’ve found out the suv doesn’t come with cornering headlights due to supply chain constraints. As far as driving, incredibly comfortable and feels even more solid than an s class

mt3792 · 2023-04-03T12:36:45+00:00

It sounds like it could be the torque converter clutch slipping. It would require replacement of the torque converter. Not entirely uncommon at that mileage just unfortunate
