The only thing I'm slightly apprehensive about how much will the LED cost to fix. As nice as they are. I like Toyota Camry, back end the most. 

What's wrong with the LED?

Lets hope so. Thanks.

Cost to repair, they can be really expensive. compared to the old bulb. The Dodgy Caravans at work, every-time a taillight goes, cost 500 or more.

Congrats to you and Ruby!  :thumbup:

Thanks, Woof...

Book marked Thanks.

Yes, it has a few oddities, like it comes with manual seats, instead of the electric seats. which is clearly stated. Normally you set and forget, It has the key fobs and automatic locks. I take better pics soon.

LED lights should pretty much last "forever"...most LEDs have a lifespan of 50,000 hrs...even if they were on for 2 hours per day, 365 days per year, that's 68 years.

Yes I understand that, but I seen enough cars with deteriorating LED lights, that the issue might come. It's pricey, but not break the bank level, from what I gather from Bubba's link.

Even Highbury seems smooth from Hamilton to 401 The suspension soaks up just everything, sometimes you hear that faint bumbling sounds, if that makes any sense. The Echo, your hear everything. So far, so good. it feels new really.

That is the way I come in and out of London so know exactly what you are talking about.  Why is it people will do 70 in a 50 going down Highbury but once they get past the 100 sign they can only manage 80?

Weird Huh. Even Londoners  never seems to know how fast to drive highbury. It's always been odd like that. it's been mystery for 17 years or more. :rofl:







Just look how clean the engine is. It's like new.



I love the interior. I'm not sure how I'm going to keep the car that clean.  :o

Are the brake lights LED and the turn signal bulbs incandescent?
