    Extended warranty transfer?

    Due to the new vehicle being a lot of fun, I am thinking about selling my 2013 as I don't use the RAV4 anymore. Before I post it for sale, just curious to see if my 7 year warranty is transferrable, this is the Toyota one. I used it one time Thanks

    Toyota roadside is useless

    Toyota Roadside is absolutely useless. They take forever to connect. They have dumb policies regarding towing. They don't even follow up properly on any service call. Don't cancel your AAA yet guys.

    Does headlight have a separate gasket?

    After some poor work by a local bodyshop, I noticed the headlight gasket is missing a small chunk looking from the outside. Does anyone know if there is indeed a gasket or am I seeing something else missing a chunk? This is at the top of the headlight near the top touching the fender.

    Tire recommendation

    For those who are looking for new tires, I highly recommend Michelin Premier LTX. They are a little bit more expensive than the other tires, but they are so much quieter (BY A LOT!) and ride so much better than the OEM Yokos or the Bridgestone Dueler 422. I am sure I probably won't get more...

    Bodywork

    Go figures, the day I made my last lease payment, I was rear ended by another driver. Should I be worried about having bodywork done to the car due to them baking the battery?

    Buying out the lease

    Since there are no good alternatives out in the market, I am likely going to buy my RAV4 out given I have a new battery and motor and extended warranty. My question is how easy is the buyout process? With Chase/Subaru, they had sent me a letter given me very favorable terms to buy out the...

    Lease return coming soon?

    I believe the first wave of people who got in on the Toyota lease special will have to decide on the car's future soon. Has anyone received any letter from Toyota yet? I am curious to see what they are offering. Are they offering discounts like Nissan, financing special like Subaru or just...

    Charging with a Honda generator for emgerency

    I am thinking about buying a Honda 2000w generator for the house as a backup for emgerency. It's probably an overkill since I live in the city. Still, it might not be a bad idea to have one as I went through having no power at all and it isn't fun. Anyway my question is would the EU2000 work...

    Roof molding flying off

    I had a roof molding on the driver side (the black long piece on top) that flew off the car at about 25K. It was replaced under warranty. Guess what, the same part flew away at 38K miles and the dealer now wants $200 fix it. Has anyone experience the same problem with the black piece flying...

    Garage EVSE build question

    I currently have a 40A circuit running into one side of my garage off a 100A subpanel. Since I have two cars that can handle 10kwh charging, I am going to break down and install a 50A circuit on the other side of the garage. The new circuit would come directly from the 200A main panel on the...

    EVSE 40A circuit

    Turns out the builder only put a 40A circuit for me for the EVSE, I guess that means I can't use the Leviton 40a EVSE? If that is the case, do I just get any 30A one or can I try to get the 32A ones? thanks
