How intriguing that the CX-90 completely outshone the Q7 after you upgraded from a 23-year-old Lexus. The CX 90 has a number of quarks, including premium features that aren't up to par with Lexus or Audi, but it's aesthetically pleasing and has a leather inside. Though the brown quilted leather interior of my fully-loaded premium turbo S is stunning, I can't help but believe that it's missing a few high-end features found in the Lexus (even at 23MY) and the updated Q7. Guarantee that your software is flashed and updated correctly. It appears to have eliminated most of the peculiarities, but the gearbox is still really jerky; they called it sporty, but it's more like incredibly choppy. Mazda deserves a lot of credit for their exterior styling, which is noticeably more subdued compared to Lexus and the Q7.

Seems promising; I'll report back next week with the results. The GX460 was a nightmare to drive, and I rarely retain vehicles for more than a few years, so I never had to worry about the GX460 lasting 300,000 miles.

I am relieved that you were able to resolve the issue with your tires, while I am sorry to hear about it. The fact that you could test drive a CX-90 for an extended period of time is fantastic. I can't believe you traded in your Lexus for a CX-90. Never test drove a Highlander or Grand Highlander, and there weren't any for sale in my area, so I opted against purchasing one. Looking back, I think the ride quality would have been too soft.

Greetings everyone! I am new to Mazda and recently got receipt of a brand new 26 CX-90 Premium Sport. Three vehicles were on my radar: the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Audi Q7, and the Honda Trailsport/Pilot. They were completely outclassed by the Mazda in every way: handling, power, features, and appearance. Also, I had the opportunity to borrow this car for a 500-mile drive on my recent holiday and I absolutely loved it. Along with the favourable lease price and conditions, that was the deciding factor. I am really pleased with my purchase of a Machine Grey Prem Sport. So, here's what went down: I felt a lot of vibration and the trip was overall bumpy. Two days after returning it to the dealership, I discovered that three of the tires were faulty! I will be replacing the set of Toyotas next week. Until then, I am borrowing a gorgeous CX-90 Prem Plus in rhodium. My car is in perfect working order and I can't wait to get it back. Although I am aware that these vehicles can be finicky, I would prefer to cope with a few problems rather than spend all my time fiddling with my automobile. Just so you know, I sold my 23 Lexus GX460 since it was a boring SUV. Anticipating feedback from this community. Best regards.

Someone ought to know about this and have verified it!

You have my mechanic's gratitude.

My mechanic has received your message of gratitude.

Everyone had a star xentry diagnostic, but I'll have to enquire about the leak off test.

The other possible explanation is a leak back, or excessive leak off. Helpful because it often doesn't display any problems until it won't start at all! If even a single injector fails to attain pressure due to severe leakage back, the entire system will not fire. A single recon injector fixed the issue I was having with my 270 5-pot.

real-time information — rail pressure and cam/crank lining up....

Does anyone know who has tested for diesel leak off? I was wondering if any of the repair shops had expertise in Mercedes diagnostics using Star or Xentry.

Hello, I am experiencing trouble starting my b-class. It turns over with no issues, however it fails to engage the accelerator pedal. No problems have ever shown up on the computer after I had new glow plugs, referb injectors, a dpf filter, sensors, and a starting motor installed. I've taken the car to three different garages and mechanics, and none of them have been able to solve it. The 65-plate vehicle still drives well and has 28000 miles on the odometer. If I don't sell it before I give up

Prepare to leave some money on the table

There are certainly many questionable sellers in the market at the moment. From what I have observed, Tivanagh Transport appears to be leveraging their established logistics reputation to support this new vehicle sales division. As long as buyers carry out proper inspections and take sensible precautions, it seems like a reasonable opportunity to secure a well-priced repossessed vehicle.

I am always cautious when full payment is requested via bank transfer, but these experiences do suggest a structured system rather than an informal arrangement. If they continue honouring the 14 day return policy consistently, that will strengthen their reputation over time.

Thank you for coming back with an update. That is reassuring to read!

Update as promised. The vehicle arrived on day nine. The driver called approximately forty minutes before arrival first impressions are very positive. The bodywork matches the description, the interior is clean, and the mileage corresponds with the auction documentation. I am still within the 14-day inspection period, but I am almost certain I will be keeping it. In my case, Tivanagh Transport delivered exactly as outlined in the agreement.

I decided to proceed. I made the payment this morning. I will admit it was slightly nerve-racking pressing the confirm button on the transfer. Delivery has been scheduled for next week. I will update the thread regardless of the outcome so others can make informed decisions.

I am a mechanic, so I will just add some general advice regarding repossessed vehicles. Always review the service history carefully. Run a diagnostic scan for stored fault codes. Inspect suspension components and clutch wear. Check for signs of neglected servicing. A 14 day inspection period is actually more generous than what many independent sellers provide. If the funds are genuinely held in a segregated account until approval, that does reduce financial risk significantly. Just make sure you use that inspection time properly!

How did your borther paid for the car???

My brother purchased a 2017 Mercedes C220 from Tivanagh Transport in June, it was not completely perfect. Delivery arrived on day ten rather than day seven, and there was a small scuff on one alloy wheel that had not been mentioned. To their credit, once he sent photographs, they offered a partial refund to cover refurbishment, he accepted and kept the vehicle in the end. Overall, he was satisfied and has had no mechanical issues since.

Quick update from me. I called Tivanagh Transport this morning and spoke with someone from their vehicle sales team named Daniel. He explained the entire process step by step payment goes into the segregated company account. Delivery is arranged once funds are confirmed the money remains in that account until the buyer confirms they are satisfied after the inspection period. I asked directly what happens if I am not happy with the vehicle. He said they arrange collection and issue a full refund within the 14-day window. They answered my questions clearly and did not avoid anything. I am still thinking it through but so far it seems structured.

I had not heard about their vehicle sales division before so I did some background research. The company has been registered since 2014 and has a proper Belfast address listed. There were no obvious warning signs when I checked and they had a substantial profit margin over one million pounds. That said, repossessed vehicles can vary depending on how well they were maintained by previous owners. I would strongly recommend using the 14 days inspection period properly and arrange a full mechanical check and do not rely solely on photographs.
