I’m assuming the VIN is whatever is on the registration. Maybe the vehicle was stolen and wears a VIN that’s “clean” but from a Jag? Don’t know if there are checks against such things. Also possible DMV made a mistake transcribing the VIN. Either way, great job California! Another “angle” to...

Android Auto is missing, just jump ship to Apple. I was the staunchest supporter of Android for years, refusing to use anything but a Nexus/Pixel but I switched in 2017. Never been happier with my phones. Anyhow, the main tech I would like to see but know we won’t is the Apple Car Key.

I have no idea and I don’t want to run afoul of Toyota’s legal department. It wasn’t really a “lemon” in the classic sense anyway but once days turned to weeks and into months I had enough. It had the bad printed circuit board that blew out the driver’s side headlight cluster (the recall came...

I think some people paid more than that in dealer premiums a year ago!! LOLOLOL

I’ll play along. I put my deposit down last August and took delivery on September 19th 2019. It “broke” on September 30th with under 300 miles. The car went into the shop on October 7th with just under 350 miles. Drove a Camry loaner for 3 months and a RAV4 Hybrid loaner for 3 months...

Jeez. My dealer made it seem like they had to have the account set up before I took the car... Tell them to get off their asses. Good to hear they’re adding features to the app though.

LOL. Yes!!

It’s also a good idea to hold the power button on the radio every time you exit the car. This puts the electrical system in the mode with lowest draw. During my brief flirtation with Supra ownership, I got in the habit of doing this and never had an issue with the battery. Mine was delivered...

Interestingly, the YouTube channel “Your Auto Advocate” recommends asking the dealer for a reading of the battery level whenever you take delivery of a new car. They explain that the cost of replacement falls on the dealer since if it’s low/ruined the manufacturer recognizes this is due to...

No I get it. Just rethinking my insurance coverage.

Your mention of state inspection made me realize that CELs are kryptonite for emissions testing- at least in my state. Pretty sure an O2 sensor code would qualify as an issue in Virginia...

Some of the YouTube reviews claim the 2021 gets an updated stereo. True? Confused reviewer? He claimed the issues were gone...

FYI - pricing on 3.0 Premiums

Perhaps wait until this SKU hits Amazon???

Yeah, I always stipulated no wash with the old BMW, but not my last car which was a leased S4. Audi actually didn’t mess it up, although I never left a service without new scuffs on the steering wheel.

Except right now the 2021s are also hard to find in the color you want! Three local, none good colors. They need to just ditch Tungsten...

Bumping this to help the new wave of “soon to be owners”

There is a thread here on warranty. A dealer in Michigan will sell it to you for cost. If you’ve already paid a higher price you can cancel it. I did this on my Supra a year ago. You’re stuck with the tire/wheel insurance since for whatever reason it can only be purchased at the time of vehicle...
