Hey "hardchemist" how about posting your TCH pic's on GreenHybrid. So far you're the only aftermarket wheels I've seen on a TCH.
 
I assume you removed the stock TPMS's and installed them on the new wheels. Have the TPMS worked well on the new wheels (that is, no leaks?)

Hey thanks everyone! And yes, while I can understand from the salesman's perspective why he would want a non-refundable deposit, it just doesn't make sense for me! That, along with being told that I cant get Mag Grey w/Bisque leather.
 
For those of you who worked with dealers outside of your area, were they willing to work via Fax in setting up a deposit contract (spelling out all the things that Gampa and others)pointed out? Seems to me that would be in their best interests as well as mine!

Does anyone have any specs on 50 mph to 70 mph (passing)? or maybe someone that has a TCH can to that test for me. I am considering buying one and that is one spec that get's left out all the time, but much more important to me than 0-60.
 
Thanks

I have up to now just been just pushing and holding the trunk button, which causes it to release after 1-2 seconds. This morning, I tried pressing the button twice in rapid succession, and the trunk opened immediately. So, it appears to be either/or.

2 sec flat !
 
Seriously, chart on Road&Track review shows 3.8 sec different between 0-50 (5.6 sec) and 0-70 (9.4 sec)

Very Correct.
 
If it's an emergency then driving on battery alone for a very short distance can be done but it may damage the main battery and will likely void the warranties making for mucho discussion of why batteries have to be replaced early.

All the long distance ones I've done have been phone and fax. The details are agreed over the phone with a confirming buyers order faxed for review, then signed and refaxed back to me. A credit card number over the phone then confirms the agreement.
 
I've done it probably 10-20 times like this on a variety of vehicles.
 
As with any business agreement - get it in writing. Make sure all the limitations, details, contingencies are clearly stipulated - in writing. It solves a lot of problems and makes the whole process less stressful.

Technically you're right. I just went out into my garage and was able to push it THREE times before it opened (I had to be quick). However it only takes one push to open.
