The status has been changed to sale pending. We will find out the sales price soon.

That house is 4 bed, 4 full bath and 2 half baths. There is a bedroom and full bath on first level, and I assume a half bath for guests. It’s a cube shaped box with few wasted space. Price is way too much at $4 million, but that’s the Irvine premium and you can grow old in the house with enough...

If anyone might be looking at off lease bZ, I recommend detailed comparison to 2025 facelift model which has some important upgrades.

Norwalk was once part of the Dutch run dairy farms stretching from Cerritos and Artesia. But today it’s >70% Hispanic vs 0.8% Indian. There are a few Indian temples in Norwalk (on Pioneer blvd and front st in old town) due to proximity to Artesia (Little India). The first Chinese supermarket...

Toyota has $3500-$4000 cash incentive and 72 month 0% APR financing on bZ until 5/4/2026. For lease they have $6500 incentive.

Went to 2 Toyota dealerships yesterday, including Cerritos auto square. All bZ and Rav 4 sold out and even the ones incoming on the boat were reserved. Online, the Toyota dealership in Cerritos showed 1 Rav 4 PHEV in stock. I went to see it just as the new owner drove it away. Not much price...

The biggest gov subsidy for EV in China is… sales tax exemption. (Sales tax is 10%). In 2023 alone, sales tax exemption accounted for 87.4% ($17.2 billion) of gov subsidy to EV industry in China. In terms of direct subsidy given to auto makers, BYD has only received about $4 billion total from...

Interestingly, back then I was more concerned about stockpiling food, water and emergency supplies. When the pandemic hit we found out what people went after first… …toilet paper. Shelves was full of food but no toilet paper. @-@

Scroll down a bit on that page/thread and you can see my other post in 2018 with following comment: “When I was young, I was taught that after a Presidential Election, the winner and loser will shake hands, be friends and go back to being one country. In future I expect a country of bad...
