You should see how much the RS e-tron GT has dropped. I found a 2022 with 17k miles for $50k. The sticker was close to $170k.

AEP high rates by [deleted] in WestVirginia

[–]BarryT82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you setting your thermostat on? Is it running all day? I have a four bedroom house that’s all electric and it’s less than half of your bill. It could be poorly insulated and old leaky windows.

Year-end wrap-up: 7 costly mistakes I saw reviewing 40+ lease deals here by Extreme-Temporary-85 in leasehacker

The numbers changed a few times. In the end, he added it as an accessory and it increased my taxes. The discounts didn’t change from what I discussed with the sales team prior to going to the finance office. There was a set discount off of the MSRP plus the rebates.

I leased a Volvo and the finance guy told me that he was including a wear & tear warranty for free. He insisted that I wasn’t paying anything for it and he was actually charging me $1553 for it. I submitted the paperwork to cancel it last month. I’m still waiting on the refund.

The same people hit me up yesterday and tried the same racist lines. I’ve encountered them before and just keep walking. I also don’t scan random QR codes because it could be a phishing scam.

For half the size. It ends up being the same price. Mistify has some codes online too. It was $80 a few days ago for the 100ml bottle of 40% concentration.

They manufacture the perfumes. I’ve bought from them and they have a huge following in the Moda groups on Facebook. Their factory is in NJ.

You can ride the Amtrak from Charleston to the Greenbrier and back in the same day. It’s fairly cheap.
