  1. Finally returned to a residence where I can accommodate a second vehicle, so seeking to acquire a convertible Mercedes. It has been eight years since I disposed of my exquisite SLK32, which appears to have undergone a plate change since it has vanished. I would consider another vehicle, but I have always desired the R171 SLK55, which is my primary choice. The prices for the 32 models are quite variable, they take considerable time to sell, and most exhibit bodywork deficiencies, which I like to avoid; I prefer any rust to be concealed on the subframe. The 55 models with around 70,000 miles are priced between £14,000 and £16,000. Conversely, there are some questionable options available on eBay priced between £8,000 and £9,000. There are several potentially altered ones for around £16,000. I am seeking a vehicle within the £10,000 to £12,000 range, prioritising condition above mileage. I have observed several properties that have remained on the market for an extended period without selling, as well as those with seemingly unrealistic pricing. There is a listing on eBay for a vehicle that has accumulated 152,000 kilometres and has been declared a total loss, priced at £12,500. I am not interested in that specific option; nevertheless, I believe that if a quality, low-mileage vehicle can be had for £15,000, a high-mileage, written-off vehicle should be far less, and I would anticipate a price closer to the £8,000-£9,000 area. What is the anticipated cost for a vehicle with a clean history and in excellent condition that has exceeded 100,000 miles? Is my money insufficient to acquire a satisfactory option?
  2. Thank you. I have encountered a defective pump just once, which ceased operation prematurely, long before reaching full capacity. As you said, the first click and stop is the only method. I can visibly see gasoline in the filler pipe when my tank is full.
  3. I must confess this is my first Range Rover after several VAG vehicles, and indeed, it is prone to spillage if one is not cautious. In all my other cars, one may somewhat nibble it after the initial click, but this is not the case with the Evoque.
  4. What alternatives were you anticipating?
  5. Our 2012 Sportage is equipped with sheepskin mats on the seats. Comfortable bottoms throughout the year! Menus and sub-menus? We obtain those at a restaurant. Elegance resides in simplicity.
  6. Could the blue tank SCR issue be added? Is the tank devoid of contents?
  7. Any dashboard lights illuminated. As previously mentioned, you may get a complimentary diagnosis.
  8. However, there is an additional anomaly... after replacing the screen, I am unable to access the diagnostic menu (by using the three-button combo). Does anybody else have this issue? I want further information on this matter. It would be intriguing to ascertain the method by which the screen is allocated to the new screen pin; a circuit diagram would be beneficial. There may be other individuals present who want a resolution. Salutations to everybody.
  9. Greetings, I have replaced the updated 5-button interface, volume knob, and facelift display in my 2018 Civic. Transitioning from the pre-facelift to the facelift screen. All functions operate well, save for the screen's dimmer feature when the headlights are on. Has anybody else modified the updated display on the head unit and had issues? Perhaps someone will identify the little issue with the display fading. I seek assistance. I observed that pressing the brightness, phone, and volume keys simultaneously does not provide access to the diagnostic menu. Is anybody aware of the issue? Is the reason related to the replacement of the display? I really appreciate it.
  10. There is consistently a need for certain items. I just sold a Boxster and a SQ5 privately within a week, fetching a satisfactory sum of money from my perspective. In order to excel in listing items, one must strive to be at the pinnacle of their abilities, avoiding the complacent and lackadaisical attitude that ensnares many. Laziness attracts those who are prone to daydreaming, indecisive individuals who are hesitant to take action, and individuals who squander time.
  11. I will persistently argue that Gen2 is less exceptional, even to the point of exhaustion. Many individuals will experience emotional distress and frustration.
  12. I have available space in my garage and have retained the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust, which is in excellent shape. Subsequently, upon my sale of the item, the subsequent possessor will also be entitled to get it. However, I will not exchange the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) exhaust for such exhaust systems. If they so like, they have the capability to do the task independently. However, I am perplexed as to why they would prefer the OEM exhaust over the superior B Rogue Built titanium exhaust, which is quite impressive.
  13. It is likely that your two-hour journey today will sufficiently recharge your battery to a satisfactory level. If you have a friend who is knowledgeable about cars, they could charge the vehicle for a few hours to fully recharge the battery. However, I would not recommend visiting the mechanic until the yellow light returns after your lengthy trip.
  14. I am grateful for the replies. I must accept and address the fact that the trim level of my vehicle is a mild hybrid Premium, and I will adhere to the information recorded in the DMV system. I must confront the additional payment of $117 during the renewal or re-registration process.
  15. Thank you for providing this information. Essentially, the premium trim level falls inside the hybrid category. Therefore, I just need to address the additional funds that I will be required to provide.
  16. Thank you for responding to me. Fortunately, you own a comprehensive inventory of your unit. This is the only thing I get. Is there a discernible difference in the mechanical and electrical specifications between the Premium and Premium Plus models? Because the one I now own is simply the Premium trim level.
  17. Hello, I just purchased a 2024 Mazda CX90 Premium. After registering the vehicle at the DMV and verifying the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), it was determined that it falls within the hybrid category. I clarified to them that it is not powered by any other means but petrol. However, they continue to demand. I contacted the dealer about it gave us the documents like the car specifications catalogue you put in the window and sent it to DMV but still they denied my dispute. I also reached out to Mazda USA about my worry, and even they confirmed that the provided paperwork would be sufficient. I am unable to financially accommodate an additional $117 charge during each renewal period for a hybrid classification, despite the fact that my unit does not possess this feature. I am doing a crowd search on this website to find others who may have encountered a similar scenario as I have. I would really appreciate any advise or assistance you can provide on how to handle it. Thank you beforehand!
