I have an allion (2009) - I am the second owner of the car and the genuine mileage is 129000.
I have done all the oil changes (including CVT on time)
I have an issue on my allion where I get a burning smell when I accelerate rapidly. Lets say, floor the car to rpm 4 or likes. There is a burning smell that comes thru the vents (likely) and it goes off as well - the car races and accelerates. I checked for oil leaks and there was an oil leak on the tappet cover and I did that repair - but the issue did not go away.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
