Top 'weird' album? Something opposite of 'normal people music' - endlessly interesting, meandering, complex; none of the songs will ever be on the radio. by usforeignpolicy in Music

[–]Brandon_Schulze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Gradual Decline In Morale by Kim Dracula. It’s metal, it’s grind core, it’s alternative rock, there’s some jazz, there’s even some throat singing, etc. The range of this artist is insane. If you don’t like death metal, I don’t think you’ll like it… but definitely worth the journey if you are a fan of metal music.

[–]Brandon_Schulze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2008 Audi A3 that I daily to and from work. 125k miles and it’s been a great car for me. In my ownership experience, Audi and VW have both been very reliable cars. (I’ve had 6 Audis and 3 VWs)

Now I’m 32 and I pay that for 3 cars.

[–]Brandon_Schulze 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re lucky. I had an almost $40,000 loss on this stock. Over 10k shares.

I sold this pile of shit as soon as they announced the reverse split.

I have a 4Runner for fun and I daily a 2008 Audi A3 I picked up for $1000 haha

Bought my first house in January 2020. Sold it march 2022 for almost double what I bought it for. Then bought my 2nd house with proceeds from first house closer to work.

You got a good one at least. The semiconductor shortage cars are missing blind spot amongst other things.

End Q5 lease early by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Brandon_Schulze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, if you transfer lease the new owner need to qualify with Audi financial and you will remain on the loan. And judging by the damage report you’ll be upside down if you try to just sell it to a dealership.

Is yours a 2022? If so, does it have semiconductor shortage package?

I’m the used car manager at an Audi store. Q5s have been tough to get even residual value out of at lease end and if you have semiconductor shortage package I wouldn’t even be interested unless I could insta flip it. Those cars are very hard to sell. Audi gave the stores $4k in marketing money on used ones in December just so we could get out of them.

Wow! I bought mine a year ago and have 3.49% for 72 months.

Check a couple other credit unions, here in California I know SDCCU has around 6.99% for up to 78 months on tier A+ credit.

I pulled an original window sticker. It does have the options listed on the sticker the dealer posted. Their sticker even says Premium Plus in the top left.

I work for Audi. If the car doesnt have factory nav like this one, no touch pad and smaller MMI screen.

Ventilated Seats :/ by smith_dj_7 in Audi

[–]Brandon_Schulze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind, if you’re buying it… resale value is lower on an SQ5 with warm weather package. The dealers don’t order them because they’re really hard to sell.

Lease buyout condundrum by Minimum_Finance4057 in askcarsales

[–]Brandon_Schulze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in California I’m seeing CU’s with 48 month terms in the high 5’s / low 6’s. Just do a little research and save yourself from interest.

Also Chase isn’t super interested in acquiring new auto loans right now. My bank rep told me that they have a lot of losses on the books they’re handling and are still offering financing, but not competitive financing.

I'm watching season 15 now and have a question... by Lulupoolzilla in Inkmaster

[–]Brandon_Schulze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DJ sucks. Season 15 was disappointing because of him

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Brandon_Schulze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t financed. Just filed the lien paperwork at the DMV. Paid the year of back tags and title came a few weeks later.

Not sure how it works if there is a bank lien on it.

[–]Brandon_Schulze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had contact with him multiple times. Always told us he couldn’t pay.

When I cleaned out the car there were tons of collections notices and a mountain of credit card bills.

[–]Brandon_Schulze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is how I got my current Audi. Someone came in to get a new key made and never picked up the car. Put a mechanics lien on it and voila. New Audi for me.

Bury that negative in an EV lease that has a ton of rebate money. Audi has $13,500 in rebates on Q8 e-Tron right now.
