    Speaking of German engineering there is this.

    Fine restaurants sometimes have a sign that says to prepare a great meal may take extra time.

    The same with a highly sophisticated state of the art high tech warship....but, when it completes testing it will be a masterpiece.

    What kind of commissions are you guys  paying your real estate agent. Is it the customary 6% or something less?  Two to 3% seems fair but 6% is perhaps excessive. 

    Your thoughts

    Your thoughts 

    good question. Since I am hoping to be listing in the next year, and it has been a long time since I sold a house. the flat % makes no real sense. If my house is worth 400K, and a similar one next town over is 300K, why the heck should I pay an extra $6,000 in fees?

    made some sense I guess when prices were lower, but once you are getting into 4-500K or more, it gets way out of hand.

    You really hit the jackpot with the townhouse, well-played. One can still get an older but more than decent detached house in east Bellevue for that.

    Just think, 25 years ago you could pick up nice enough old houses in decent in-city neighborhoods for under 200K.

    It has but the market moves so fast it’s hard to know what’s “under market”. We listed our townhome for $798k - a number we were happy with getting and that our agent thought was more than fair. 

    We had 9 offers, ended up selling for $875k. Our agent was a little surprised but said he’s seen crazier. Right time of year, right location, right type of house.

    Definitely for both. Not the only one, but one of the hottest - and I can't imagine what would pop it outside of real catastrophe.

    You live in a real estate bubble, although not the only one.

    Bummer snake. That looks to be past the point of duct tape repair. Hopefully not too hard to replace. I last did a mirror back in the mid-80s, when I bought a right side door mirror for my 1985 Colt and put it on. But it was pretty easy, and I doubt the job has changed much. Other than having wires involved now.

    Both mirrors on the RDX have small "Darlington stripes" but thankfully nothing more.

    A little duct tape and some pop rivets should be able to handle that. :'(

    I was always curious to see what it looked like in there.
    In the old days you could just buy one at the junk yard and glue it on.
    How do you fix that.
    Next car you will have to get parking sensors.

    Being an elitist is difficult, whether it be cars or hot dogs. I envy people who can just cram anything into their ears, eyes or mouths and be perfectly happy. :D There they are merrily quaffing their Two Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's and here I am fussing over some $21 Pinot from a cave in Oregon.

  • bwiabwia Member Posts: 2,913
    According to The Wall Street Journal “Foreign auto companies soon will build more cars and trucks in America than the Detroit giants.

    In the first quarter of 2018, foreign makers are expected to produce 1.4 million vehicles in the U.S., WardsAuto.com projects, equaling their American rivals for the first time. That's a leap from the same period last year, when foreign companies trailed Detroit auto makers by more than 100,000 vehicles, or roughly 10%.

    In coming years GM, Ford, and Chrysler are likely see their dominance in vehicle production entirely evaporate as rivals such as Toyota and Mercedes-Benz boost their American workforces and add new factories.”

    Don’t quite understand this trend but with the emergence of China and its emphasis on electric vehicles that cannot be good for the big three. Your thoughts.

    After figuring out if your mirror has heated option or turn signals, etc., search for it on the parts lists.
    If it's your lucky day, you'll find one, listed with no damage, and IN THE SAME COLOR AS YOUR CAR from a recycling yard.

    $20 to pack it in spray foam expansion packaging. Wait 5 days to get there. Review video online showing how to remove the inner door and the 3 screws that hold the mirror to the door. Voila. Done. Ask me how I know that might work if the stars align for you.

    Or you can pay a shop that has the Mercedes robot shown earlier several hundred dollars to do a 25-minute or less replacement.

    Close enough as in you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it. Remember the car is simply white, not an off white or a designer white. If it's snowing out the car can't be seen.

    I'm confused.

    First you said: "Close enough as in you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it". How about if I tried to hear it? :o

    Then you said: "If it's snowing out the car can't be seen". I think you're trying to snow us. :'(

    I should have mentioned this earlier...just a suggestion, whether the replacement is new or used, before you bolt it on, make the electrical connections first to see if everything works. Then, get out the hammer and have fun.

    11 to tell what and how it should be done (all of them different).

    1 to actually get the mirror and do it.

    I'm including myself in that 11, BTW!

    Bluetec E200 or E250? Saw a modern version in the Kaiser parking lot the other day, parked in the "Physician" marked spots. Also saw a new Q5, and some modest cars as well.

    Is it the end of the world if you get 2 of a different color? White matches everything right? You could plasti-dip them to make them black. You could wrap them and make them whatever you wish.

    Today on the way home from the mall, I decided to put the transmission into "SPORT" mode for the first time. The change in the ride, handling, steering and performance were truly remarkable - much more so than when I would put it into sport mode in the BMW or any of my previous Mercedes Benz vehicles.

    The first thing I noticed was the steering - it became taut and firm. Next, I noticed the change in the ride - no longer smooth and subtle - more like the BMW rode in what they called Sport+ - firm and responsive. The next thing I noticed was the power curve - right from the light it took off like a rocket, changing gears much more slowly and holding the lower gears longer. Finally, when I got on the Turnpike, I noticed that it did not shift into 8th or 9th gears when cruising at 70 mph. It held in 7th gear for the ride home and was super responsive to my pressure on the accelerator.

    This is the very first car I have ever driven that had comfort, economy and sport modes for the transmission that I actually noticed a substantial difference in the car's performance/handling/steering.

    Something tells us you'll probably never take it out of "Sport" again!

    Tech manager type couple or sketchy offshore money?

    A co-worker of mine lost out on a house in Columbia City of all places lately, bid 50K over ask and it went for 100, I think. Around 700K for a house in a neighborhood that is gentrifying, to put it nicely.

    I am surprised the old trick of listing under market and creating a bidding war hasn't appeared here yet. Or maybe it has. It's huge in speculative Canadian markets.

    A friend listed their home last week and they had a Broker's Open house. House was listed at 850,000 and they had 15 offers. Sold it for 75,000 over listing price.

    Ah...that would be offshore as were the other 10 or more offers they received.

    Your opinion of Columbia City was restrained and understood. I am totally amazed even in this crazy marketplace!

    I guess you might have to paint the new one too?

    I might, however the car is white, plain white, so I might find one that's a close enough match. 
    Good thing it's not a BMW then because it probably would refuse to start if you didn't use OE BMW paint and have it registered in the computer by the dealer. B)

    It might start but I'm sure his dash would light up like a Christmas tree with various warning lights!

    I tried sport mode today. Noticed steerngva bit firmer, but really did not need that. Mostly just revved higher, holding lower gears. Not really needed either driving normally. The car is already geared kinda short. So you could see it for back road storming, but normal use, will leave in standard mode

    I'm gonna take a wild guess at $750 to replace that mirror.
    A little south of $400 But my wife said she found a replacement part for $100 if I want to do it myself. 
    Who gave you the $400 quote? And did that include paint?

    E250. Only Bluetec badged cars sold in this market were E250 (14-16) and E350 (11-13).

    I notice many mainstream cars in the physician spots at the local hospital, especially Subarus - but that's the PNW for you.

    Bluetec E200 or E250? Saw a modern version in the Kaiser parking lot the other day, parked in the "Physician" marked spots. Also saw a new Q5, and some modest cars as well.

    So much for "vetting" eh.

    I have a friend who rented a place in that area. Prowlers and shootings were a fact of life - and he still could never afford to buy it.

    I bet my S-I-L could find someone that will do it for 100 bucks...you may not like the result.
