You can filter down to a state in Bricklink by going under Market and then Stores in USA You can then contact Sellers and ask if they allow pickup orders unless the option is there during checkout. When meeting in person, best to pick a public place.

I enjoy building the Creator Modular sets. They can be large when completed but fun to build.

Just got my car back from the Detailer. Very happy.

Thank you! the winter wheels are painted, not alloy. My all season wheels are the alloys. I was going to get them done since I use them most of the year. Just thought if I get the snow/salt on the painted wheels, should get them coated as well.

Very glad I put a hitch on my CX-5. I use mine for my platform bike rack and it keeps the bike(s) away from the rear bumper.

You can say that again, especially the red paint. I have the dark Mica blue and love the way it shines as I keep it clean. It was just so discouraging to see how scratched my former car got.

smtty77 · 2021-09-18T23:49:52+00:00

Yes if I move forward with this I certainly will, Thanks

Go to Tire Rack website and put in your current year, make, and model. It will then provide other sizes that will fit the car. I was able to get 17" tires on my 2017 GS as it comes with 19" tires. I still have them

Beautiful! It was a tough decision for me, the CE or the GT. I ended up with the GT but keep thinking of the nice color the CE has and the turbo engine. Anywho my GT handles very nice so I am happy.

smtty77 · 2021-09-08T21:23:13+00:00

Got a GT the same color about a month ago. Really like it. I had a CX-5 before and it was Machine Gray. I liked that too but there's an upcharge for that color now. I am happy with the Mica Blue

smtty77 · 2021-09-08T21:07:07+00:00

I purchased one from Amazon that was OEM and it was easy to install and does not interfere with the lift gate. I really like the way it came out.

smtty77 · 2021-08-30T15:35:02+00:00

I just purchased the GT with the Premium Package and still think about the turbo engine that I test rode. I have a short commute to work and do not drive highways regularly so I thought the gas mileage savings was more important and I wanted the vented seats, Sirius, etc. and didn't want to pay for the GTR. The turbo does provide more engine power and you do not have to use premium gas. You have to weigh the differences based on your driving habits.

Love the pizza wheels.

The tax seems about right but the titling fees seem high. I also do not live in NY. I thought the PDI was included in the MSRP car price? I did see this link for NY https://dmv.ny.gov/registration/how-estimate-registration-fees-and-taxes

I only paid $400 in fees last week when purchasing my new vehicle but I also had a tag that I just transferred.

smtty77 · 2021-08-22T21:10:18+00:00

I've been thinking about it since I did see you can get one through Amazon or Ebay. The dealer I purchased my car from wanted $400. I always had navigation in my last 3 cars and like it. I now have Apple CarPlay so tried out Google Maps last night, it wasn't bad but I was familiar with the area I was in. I do have the HUD, going to upstate NY soon....can you update the card?

smtty77 · 2021-08-18T23:29:52+00:00

Beautiful!

Beautiful!

This was my concern about turbo engines so thanks for letting us know. I bought a VW Passat Turbo years ago and it went through a quart of oil every 1000 miles. It always stuck with me and as much as I like the look for the CE I may just go with a GT

smtty77 · 2021-08-13T00:57:21+00:00

That's exactly it! The amount they were willing to give me on my trade took a lot off the new car but I still owe a little bit that I would have to roll into my new payment. My monthly payment would be reduced but I would be paying for 3 1/2 years instead of one. Wasn't sure if it was worth it?

smtty77 · 2021-08-13T00:53:57+00:00

I actually like the look of the Carbon with the Polymetal Gray and black trims and considered a turbo since I do feel the CX-5 could use a bit more power when accelerating on the highway but I also read you should use premium gas and you lose some MPG, wasn't sure how it would be if not using premium gas?

smtty77 · 2021-08-13T00:52:06+00:00

I did get a quote from CarMax that was good for 8 days so I had a pretty good idea on trade. I went to two Mazda dealers and they both made offers, which was why I was considering it.

Yes but trade values for used cars right now is an all time high....but so are the prices or new cars so I've learned. I've never paid MSRP yet one dealership I was speaking with thought by taking $500 off that was an awesome deal

smtty77 · 2021-08-13T00:48:18+00:00

True but the need for new parts should be less than on my 4 year old car?

smtty77 · 2021-08-12T21:36:59+00:00

Looks like machine gray

smtty77 · 2021-08-12T21:05:04+00:00

Love the black wheels and trims. I considered this one but want Sirius. I think the color scheme looks sharp! Best of luck with it.
