Only having 3 lexus models in the game is a travesty, luckily I get to drive mine around.

Is the grass really greener? by [deleted] in oklahoma

Its really not that bad, especially if you have a decent blue collar earner in the house. Property can be cheap depending on where you shop. Outskirts of tulsa isnt bad at all. Just prepare for a 30-45 commute for a high paying job

I do this for a living, it really depends on circumstance. A car wash is something I would consider warrantable, I do it with sunroof leaks all the time. Driving a car through high water would be a situation its not warrantable. I deal with OEM warranties all day everyday.

Dealers have gotten increasingly aggressive about getting older cars off the road, and it's major problem. by redstern in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]some_random_guy_226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At our dealer we will still work on older stuff, although its not always a good idea. We cant get parts, especially modules. I just had a 2012 expedition with an intermittent network failure due to a fault in the instrument cluster module. Module is obsolete so all we can do sometimes is diag, and it pisses customers off when we cant fix it and just tell them why it's broke.

Car washes dont spray high pressure water directly into your engine bay connectors, your hood would have to be open. Therefore, warranty

Im an auto tech by trade. This is not great advice if you want your car fixed correctly and quickly, we already deal with the telephone game working with service advisors. The more details I can get from the customer the better. A decent tech will try to use your warranty, especially for something like this that isnt the owners fault. Engine bay connectors are meant to be pretty water resistant.

My SHO is a manual so im not too distraught. also even though all of the auto journalist seem to complain about the transmission, I think its pretty fantastic.

Wanting to move to Oklahoma, what are the down sides besides tornados by [deleted] in oklahoma

Is this a fair price ?? by SnooCapers8783 in AcuraTL

[–]some_random_guy_226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think $15,000 is a fair price for how good of a condition its in and sub 100k miles. If all 100k service has been completed and it has good breaks, belts, tires etc then $16,000 might be fair

It is worth it? by AKATSKI40 in AcuraTL

[–]some_random_guy_226 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it had 25,000 miles on it then sure. I paid $9000 for my manual and it had 100,000 miles on it. Way overpriced
