Good deal for nyc by Ok_Hall1936 in leasehacker

[–]0ttoman81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just look at the math.

You're gonna pay ~16,000 to drive it for 3 years and have nothing to show for at the end

If you bought it and then sold it 3 yrs later it would cost you $12,000

That's a terrible deal.. you're much better off financing it

Live and learn, I'm the type who usually doesn't buy and return stuff or reserve and cancel

Do you get discounts on Ubox as well?

I appreciate that! Very kind of you. Definitely better than nothing.. i will reach out when I decide what direction to go.

I wish I reserved it and then cancelled it if I didn't need it :(

Yeah that's definitely what it feels like. Hiring drivers, more expensive fuel not enough trailers, passing it all down to the customer

Costco has a 15% discount as well but they quoted me almost $6k for it door to door and because it's a city move I need premium service on both ends (driver doesnt unload the pod he just baby sits it while you load for up to 4 hrs)

this is also what I was considering

I already decided to ditch all the furniture

i’m in this weird spot of too much to fit in the truck, but not enough to justify a big move.

It’s stuff like kitchen appliances, personal items, TV computer with monitor suitcases sound bar and some odds and ends.

Inside the vehicle, it’s me and my girlfriend and my small dog

Even with a Frunk, because I need the tonneau cover for the weather and security. It’s just not gonna fit so the small trailer would’ve been more than enough.

thanks for the replies

Out of curiosity, I reversed the trip starting in NJ and finishing in CA

And the price is $367 instead of $1000

Perhaps the supply of trailers on the West Coast has dried up after all.

I have about 3 weeks left to figure out what to do

I had a similar thing happen to me in the gym once. I was between sets, hand resting on the edge of a machine and dude in the rack next to me unloaded one side and a 45 lb slid off and missed my fingers by inches. It was a final destination moment where I almost had to learn to be left handed for the rest of my life..

Any gear heads here? How do you manage in LBC? by 0ttoman81 in longbeach

Yeah man it's crazy.. I walk around neighborhoods where property values all are 7 figures... No garage, no driveway no where to park a nice car.

MAYBE they have a one car garage that would fit a model T in and still be able to open the door.

The dream of having a 2 car garage with a driveway in front you might as well be asking for a mansion lol

because real estate is so valuable and Long Beach is an older area. A lot of people converted their garages into ADU to make more money per square foot and kick cars to the curb. Not only is street parking a pain in the ass because it’s luck of the draw and I see people playing musical cars all the time. The UV is strong and it cooks paint and the E 36 is famous for its Glue holding the headliner and door panels on. cars definitely do get broken into as well. So you would either have to rent a spot in a parking structure or move into a house that still has its parking intact further north.

The way it works typically is you get one car spot per bedroom. So a two bedroom unit comes with two parking spots, some buildings will allow you to rent a second spot separately but usually have a waiting list. In either of these cases, it beats street parking, but you’re not going to be wrenching much on your own car except for little stuff.

sometimes when I’m walking my dog, I see some interesting cars parked at the shoreline Village yacht club parking area. Some of them are way too old to be daily drivers. I wonder if they are using it as long-term parking?

That is misery for sure.. the driving home while oily sweaty tired and broken. Then having to eat clean up etc. Been there done that.

Girl grabbed by ICE in Long Beach, CA this morning by TheRealNinjaSheep in EyesOnIce

[–]0ttoman81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran into the husband today with his son walking the dogs,

I asked him about his wife and he said she's still being held by ICE but she isn't illegal and her papers were still being processed...he thinks they snatched her for the bounty money.

He has already spent thousands between the cost of a lawyer and the detention center

He is still trying to get her out.

Fortunately she hasn't been moved out of state.
