I've read that printing out ads(craigslist.com, autotrader.com, ebay.com, etc.) for similar cars in the same condition can help. The theory is that they have to give you enough to buy a comparable car, a replacement. If you can prove that the only available Supras in your area with that kind of...
I bought the seals at my dealer just a couple weeks ago. Only like $220 for all four associated with the targa. I'm having the bodyshop that's painting my car paint the trim gloss black. I had to get the side trim for the hatch replaced though because the weatherstripping attached to it that...
Dang, maybe I should get mine appraised now before some jackwad ruins it, lol. -Like THREE appraisals so their insurance company is overwhelmed by them all, lol.
Sorry bro, sucks... An appraiser still might be able to help you out to determine a pre-accident value. Don't just listen to their...
I guess if you see yourself getting close to that 5K limit, you can disconnect the speedo for a month or whatever, lol. Or before a road trip, long trips don't really tax the car that much anyways. That might affect the ABS though...among other things. Not sure if it's as simple as reaching back...
I'm getting my car painted and the body guy is trying to tell me they are painted satin black(the bottom like 4" of the car). Wouldn't they get all chipped up though if it was just paint down there? He wants to paint them satin black, but I'd rather just tell him to leave them alone if they are...
Word. It's a good idea to ask for a walk around of the shop, see how clean it is(and their employee's, lol), how the lighting is, if they have a heated(up to 170 degrees or whatever)paint booth. The $5000 I was quoted started making a lot more sense today when I went to look at my car. Soooo...
Cool, they said they got them out. Yeah someone caught the corner of my car in a parking lot, hit and run, :icon_mad: so my insurance company was paying to take the back of the car apart anyways, I figured -Lets do the whole thing while we're at it! :naughty:
Does your car have the TEMS switch between the shifter and the center console? And boxes on top of the shocks with wires going to them, when you look in the engine bay?
Even if you get the ones listed for EAS, they probably won't have the pin at the top that makes them work with the TEMS...
Am I being too anal demanding that my bodyshop remove them before painting the car? I mean, you have to remove the glass to get the trim off, right?...And you have to remove the trim to get a durable coat of paint with no tape line that could potentially peel sometime down the road, right...
242,000 miles of smooth sailing...
It dodges cars pretty well too though, lol. Turbo blast the fuck out!
I thought it was pretty fucked up, when someone hit my Karmann Ghia, the other persons insurance company deemed it totalled, then mailed me a copy of my title with THEIR name on...
Well supposedly shocks like the sensatrack 'sense' driving conditions and stiffen up accordingly, so in a way they are like TEMS. Better internal shock technology replaces TEMS. Or you can get aftermarket shocks that are manually adjustable, like for track days, you just gotta turn the knob on...
I noticed in all the recall stories on the news, all Lexuses have black emblems, so I feel more comfortable leaving it black now, lol, -LFA FTMFW! lol
Got this email today after asking my dealer if he cross-referenced any other targa mouldings from cars with blue, light gray, or burgundy...
