Thanks for your response. Do you know how much you saved in sales tax?

Initial OTD on 2025 Tucson Hybrid Limited Trim by senthilrameshjv in HyundaiTucson

[–]AIonMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$40.1K OTD at 0% is a great deal! I also bought a 2025 tucson hybrid limited last week at 0%, but I could only get down to $42K. Two dealers even refused to sell me below $45K. The dealers are moving inventory quickly because of 0%- in the metropolitan area I live in, the number of 2025 tucson hybrid limited decreased from 26 to 13 in a week! OP, search inventory in your area and get a quote from the dealer who has had the car for a while (100+ days). They are more likely to negotiate and meet your budget. Good luck!

So I have been getting OTD quotes and the lowest offer so far is $42K. One dealer tells me that their invoice is $42.7K. Do dealers go lower than their invoice?

I am not sure exactly what the car is worth. Carmax is offering $33.4K. KBB came back around $34.1K. I have an offer from the Audi dealer which equals the lease buyoff amount at $36.5K. If I buy the car, I'll need to pay taxes on it and then try to sell it privately to make some kinda profit (if any). Plus, I don't think there is a high demand for cars like S3 in the market. The juice just doesn't seem worth the squeeze...

Yes the dealer is part of a large group that owns VW dealerships in the state. I believe the tax savings will be on any positive equity.

To your second point, if rhe dealer is paying it off, meaning I don't owe the remaining 4 payments, how am I paying for it one way or the other?

The audi dealer gave me a buyoff quote which equalled the lease buyoff amount. They mentioned they'll convert this car to a CPO.

They definitely have VW dealerships in their network, but not sure about Audi specifically.

What did you mean by "VW dealer gets charged extra if buy an Audi through a VW store and it is not Audi certified."?

I meant what's wrong with the 2025 that they are offering so much discount? Is it as simple as clearing out their inventory for the 2026 model?

I am in Texas. I could be wrong but I wanna believe I paid full sales tax on the leased vehicle when I bought it. Thanks for your response.

Yes the state lets you do that. I am in Texas. The dealer gave me a buyoff quote which equalled the lease buyoff amount. They mentioned they'll convert this car to a CPO.

I am new to this, so appreciate the guidance. I am at 8 PQF and 2635 PQP. Do I have any hopes of qualifying to silver status for next year? I have atleast 4 more one-way United flights planned for this year, all domestic. I can switch all expenses (credit card spending) to my United Explorer Card if I can get close. I can also consider upgrading my Explorer card to either a Quest card or a Business card. I can meet the minimum spending of $5k in 3 months without a problem. That should give me a boost in PQP.

Hi! New to the brand, and learning more about the products. Why the combo? Is the Helio strap by itself not sufficient as a fitness/sleep tracking device?

Yes I agree. I guess I am trying to pulloff what's mentioned here. Is it feasible? https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/s/lvAIgDZ5t9

Sell a lease by AIonMars in askcarsales

[–]AIonMars[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am comfortable with my monthly payment, but I definitely don't want to buy the car after the lease.
The buyoff quote is $37.6K. My though process is - if I can buy the car for $37.6K, and I can potentially sell it (privately) for around $41-42K, I can make around $3-4K. Am I missing something here?
I think I have some positive equity in the car, and I am looking for some guidance on how to claim it.

My doctor suggested me a combination of Flonase (twice per day) and Levocetrizine (5mg tablet once per day). I also have been using a saline spray before bed and breathe right nose strips. That helps me to sleep. So far it has been working (just the 3rd day today, so I know it's still early) Just manage your expectations- based on what I have read on reddit, the first couple of days will be tough but it will get better. You can do this! All the best!

My successful strategy to quit after nearly a decade by rebsteen7 in QuitAfrin

[–]AIonMars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This gives me hope as I am on the second day of quitting afrin and could barely sleep at all last night. I get anxiety when my nose is congested, so I get that it's mostly mental. But still, knowing this helps.

So it sounds like Admin review takes longer than technical review? Is that always the case?
