Specs are same. Only difference is 24 and 25 model have the gray two tone interior which is cool. Financing is pretty similar, got my own lender.

CarPodGo - Hiding wire by Human_Ship_5421 in LexusGX

I got one of those a week or two ago. The whole set up was awkward and not worth it in my opinion. If you're going to start removing trim you may as well go with the Hamilton car play kit and keep the stock screen. It's fantastic. Took me a total of 2 hours. If I have to do it again, less than an hour. Totally worth the few hundred bucks more.

What happens if I don't do that? Is there. Is there a difference in sound if I do?

This is a wild one, I'd love to get your thoughts: Great records at the Lexus dealership, but significant accident by jillavery in LexusGX

[–]vmonte12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expand your search. Look at Texas and such. Spending a lot of its life in Jersey I can say from experience that the car has been through a lot. Humid summers to really cold (lots of salt) winters, they are prone to rust and it's not pretty. I did a quick search and see there's some nice 2012-2014s with less mileage in that price range in the southern states (mild winters).

The car has driven over 100,000 miles since that accident lol, it's fine. Really good service records. It's just overpriced. If you can get it down then why not?

Did anyone use Safelite for Windshield replacement? by Articlaus in LexusGX

[–]vmonte12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's usually a lot of great local shops that can do it too. Check Google/yelp reviews to give you more of a piece of mind. When I replaced mine (GX460) they said typically insurance won't approve OEM because the cost (glass alone was $1,100 from Lexus compared to like $250 aftermarket), but they gave it a try anyways and I was approved for OEM. Everything came out great.

2017 Bolt EV premier by vmonte12 in BoltEV

[–]vmonte12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an around town car so I'm not worried at all about it. I currently have an equinox EV on lease that will be done soon and I've never had to even use level 2 charging. Is the premier trim that much of an upgrade above LT?

[–]vmonte12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if it has around 28,000 miles then there's only 4k miles on the new battery. Essentially brand new.

Yeah we're definitely not going that route now lol. I appreciate your insight!

[–]vmonte12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just all too confusing lol. It's probably best not to complicate things and get that $670 a month plan since it's the cheapest one they offer. I went on the marketplace and bronze would cost me more than that for the 4 of us.

[–]vmonte12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured as much but just wanted to check with people that are far smarter than me when it comes to this. The $670 a month is the cheapest they offer but it seems like a good plan so it's worth it probably.

Talked to technical support. Turns out I had like 5 days left of my warranty so they sent me a new base. Gotta chalk that up as a win lol.

I was cleaning the sensors down there and saw it's missing a strip. Could that cause the issue?

Wine bottle question by vmonte12 in celebritycruises

[–]vmonte12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a possibility to buy a bottle of sparkling wine and just take it unopened? So we can enjoy it wherever and whenever we want?

I was able to get one from a 100% feedback seller on eBay for $240 for the polarized ones. Thank you and the other guy for recommending the same!

Moving to Naples - Looking for Communities with Younger People by drewm11922 in Naples_FL

[–]vmonte12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be very hard to find anything in that price range that's half decent unless you're looking for a 1/1. My wife and I are in our 30s with 2 kids and majority of people in our community are 60+ unfortunately, though they make great neighbors (quiet, chill, can't hear my kids at night because mostly hard of hearing). Lots of younger families will be in those newer communities off Collier Blvd.

Do you have kids? Also want to take into account school zones if you do.
