gotta leave the factory display protector sticker on

Don't forget the certificate of authenticity!

Honestly it’s a damn good buy. Cheaper than a Corolla. Same size as a rav4.

I'd still stand by what I've said in the past about Chinese branded EVs -- they'll need to prove themselves in terms of medium term reliability as well as service and parts support. Until then, I would not consider them as potential purchases at all.

This is getting me excited since there hasn't been any word from Chinese brands, even though it may just be a showroom!

Hobz, just hold out for the Unsharted.

It's $4k cheaper to start with. But it'll probably also get discounted just as much as the bZ. So then you can upgrade to the nicer leather interior and get the AWD with the 340hp.

The only difference is that the back half is squished down, but it's not like you're gonna put anybody in the back.

nah im just gonna hold out for ching chong cars. Not like my fleet of lexsususuusu will die between now and when emperor xi invades canada.

I still dont wanna support that little nip akio (fuck him and his MAGA wearing retardation) and his anti china cunt of a president.

how much is insurance for Telsa?

my Fix Or Repair Daily FORD was 1200 a yr insurance, then it went to $2100
now if i was to get NX350 lexus it woudl be about the same
if i went with RX350 it woudl be 6000 a year.. wthhhhh

OH my ford escape 2017 167k clicks, transmission game over. 7800 replace or 7600 + parts for repair
They said to fix it and then we get $2500 cash.....errr no.
SO...
$300 cash from dealer (to not fix it)
$500-600 from scrap yard
they also did me a solid. They AUCTIONED my car on their internal site? no idea.. but turns out I got $1900 wow.....

[bcrdukes]

To be fair, the RX is known to be stolen regularly in the GTA, so the insurance premium on those are insane. If you have one, expect it to be stolen than not.

[AstulzerRZD]

how did escape last that long?
the 1.6T and especially the 1.5T is compost, fails under warranty

Are you in TO or Vancouver?

Tesla here costs about the same as a BMW M3. Dark's TM3 iirc is roughly the same insurance cost as my M3. If anything mine is cheaper cause I'm leisure only and have low mileage annual discount.

Our X3 was under 2k annual for leisure.
The X5 was much more expensive at 2800/y. But it was to and from work. And judging how easily they wrote it off, yeah I'm not surprised.

[bcrdukes]

He's here in the GTA.

So i did a thing yesterday...

I went to go look at the lesbian solterra for ha ha's.... ended up buying it...



Why? Because I was able to get the Solterra AWD luxury black cladding (the one that has 360 degree camera, memory seats, faux leather, better sound system, etc) for around the same price as the base model BZ. The car was 58k MSRP.. i got 4k off from subaru, 5k off from the government program, and monthly its 530 a month with zero down and 48 months.

i guess im a lesbian fucker now..

its just too good of a deal to pass up. got too many nice features and the price was the same as a base model corolla

GO GET ONE!!! BEFORE THEY ARE ALL GONE!!!!!. dont try the fag at richmond subaru (go auto), useless. i went all the way to boundary openroad subaru.

1500kW charger coming lol.

Same hype cycle as phone charging - we'll get used to 10 minute DC fast charging and we'll forget 150kW existed in a year.

Back in the day, OnePlus 20W "dash charge" was crazy, now we have 60W on Samsung.

Failed for lack of impulse control and double gayness - EV and Subaru. Your last impulse control lease was at least a fun car to drive and easy to mod. Good luck going to Temu for aftermarket parts on this one. Wing? Lip?

RS'er ... put your name in line to buy out Hobz lease in 12 months time.

[bcrdukes]

Badhobz is a vegetarian lesbian. HA HA!

[Badhobz]

me and Unit are harsh scissoring each other at the next meet-up while feeding each other falafels

i already checked... not a damn thing on aliexpress. not even a keyfob condom or a leather protector. Plus this new keyfob is pretty damn big & fugly. Something a real lesbian would use as a clit vibrator.

As of last night, they had a charcoal one, and a two tone blue one left for the luxury package.

[bcrdukes]

I think unit's going to sell his car now.

Lol! All that stuff about Emperor Xi, Akio Toyoda, and that darn anti-china president... 7 posts ago!

While in the top-down 360 camera view, there should be a button on the left that makes the car see-through.

This is especially useful in Richmond so that you can see exactly what (who?) you ran over.

Also, if you engage X-mode, you can press the camera view button to the left of the shifter for Multi-Terrain Monitor. If you want to talk about a steal, this is something Toyota only put in the TRD OR/Pro trims of the 4Runner and now you get it too!



With this one, you can even see your tires going over whatever (whoever?) it is that you crashed into.

Well at least it’s not directly going to that little nip akio. He only owns like 20% of Subaru and likely by the end of the lease that’s probably when the Chong’s will have their EVs up and running.

By the time you return your lease maybe (hopefully) Zeekr, BYD, Xiaomi, etc will be in Canada. Then you can come into the warm embrace of Emperor Xi.
