True

I bought myself a small car vacuum. Very Happy

Also bought an airfreshner. Its like lil gel balls in a bottle and I like the After the Rain scent. But I wondering why it so expensive. Some places have it for $28 and in grocery I saw it for $32.

You all use any particular airfreshner or none?

What kind of car vaccum, cordless or corded, price ... I am fed up using the "house vacuum" ..

I am checking out a wireless reverse camera system with a small screen ... Razz

Yes I got fed up of dragging along the house vacuum too.
Its a Black and Decker Cyclonic Car Vacuum tht is plugged into vehicle lighter. It has a long cord so if plugged in front it can reach the back. Paid $295 or was it $195 OMG I forgot now and was only a few wks ago. Laughing

But main thing is its working good and powerful. Very Happy

I dont know such things but am sure someone wud see it and give an answer.

Hey!! I been seeing Toyota South people complaining abt servicing cost. One guy said it cost $4000 for his 5000km service I think Shocked

and I thought N&M service cost was high Surprised

Talking abt service I need to make an appointment Confused

idk abt the imported vehicles from singapore and don't know anyone who has one of those Neutral

well we hit our tuscon last week, stupid ppl parked outside the gate and we had to fight get in and ended up grazing the back of the car Twisted Evil

i agree that N&M service leaves a lot to be desired, but at least we don't have to be $4,000 for a service Confused

our 10,000km service is supposed to be on 17th january

stupid people who does park in front people's gate.

I have my 15000 service in jan too.

Am seeing alot of Tucson on the road. Lots of people buying them.

I had gone in NnM a while back and saw they had this new model suv kinda vehicle but it was lower than the Tucson..cant recall the name but the name was unusual. I thought it was low becos I am short and i could see the top of tht vehicle unlike with my vehicle Laughing

happy new year!

i didn't realize that the 10,000 service cant be done on a saturday, so we got an appt for 20th Jan, they said if we drop off at 7.30am we shld be able to pick up at 2.30pm Confused

Gem_in_i · Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 7:59 am Post subject:

I didnt know tht either Surprised

But my 10K I had taken it on a Monday.

I better call today to make my appt #Fade in

Yeah, the larger mileage ones take longer. The 60K I did in December took 2 days.

hottgirl · Street 2NR Joined: 28 Jan 2008 Tech posts: 81 My 2NRide:

two days

i wonder if that also means it cost more too? Confused

DW · Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 11:27 am Post subject:

Yeah, that one was the highest I paid..around 3600 I think.
Had to change a/c filters again and brake pads and the other usual things.

Don't laugh at this question........
I use super in my Tuscon.
Instead of using an injector cleaner treatment..... how about if I just fill up on premium ??? Don't laugh ...... just a thought...

Gem_in_i · Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 5:55 pm Post subject:

Girl for 10K I paid almost $900.

Guess prices go up with each service. The girl had told me it might cost abt $1200 for tht service.

Is it worth it to be keeping your warranty?

yea, they told us that it wld cost abt $1200 for the 10K, i guess now we gotta save for the next service eh Laughing

Well it wld make sense to keep the warranty until the 100K, after that its your choice to go there or not for servicing....

well we use super but sometimes when super is out we have to use premium and you notice the difference in the performance of the vehicle with the difference in gas....i rmbr on time we put $60 premium and the needle barely moved in the tank Confused

Company dont reimburse your husband for service?
I would surely have to start saving for when my service begins to come in the thousands Embarassed

I made my appt ytday. Like the usual girl not there and some other girl there and I find she was kinda rude and to end of conversation she hang up on me in middle of question I was asking to say over the date of appt...like she was hurry to get off fone. Shocked

hottgirl · Street 2NR Joined: 28 Jan 2008 Tech posts: 81 My 2NRide:

yea we get an annual amt for the vehicle, includes gas, insurance and servicing but it looks like after all them servicing we might have to fund gas for the rest of the year Confused

so wait, you don't know when your appt is then? Neutral

Gem_in_i · Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2009 6:04 pm Post subject:

No I don't use any injector cleaner just the Premium gas. Am I supposed to?

Girl I got the appt date but was just confirming January when she hang up. Rolling Eyes

So can someone tell me the benefits of keeping the warranty?

SS007 · Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2009 8:09 am Post subject: parts

I was actually looking for some advice on the injector question.

Your still have to pay for injector cleaning on one of those services.

Does anywhere or anyone sell parts for Tuscon beside N&M ?

gems girl, you drive a car since you got your tuscon? we had to do that this weekend cause we sent the tuscon to get washed..it felt so strange and small having to go back to the b14...i wonder after this suv experience, if we'll ever go back to a car Laughing
