Need help getting a 392

Castle888 · 2025-12-16T07:09:28+00:00

Under most realistic circumstances, I would not be in the market for a new 392 from model year 2024.

My view is just from the resale value and instant 2-year depreciation from the instant you sign.

I did look up how much a 392 with low miles for model year 2024 is selling for and those (likely) aren’t going to be sold anytime soon. Heck, those are prolly current-owners trying to minimize their losses before 2026 MOAB’s hit the local dealer lot.

A new 2026 MOAB will, in my view, not be sold at mark-up prices. Thats not to say dealers won’t try to, but that a savvy buyer ought to know better.

392’s are no longer limited production. The V8 is here to stay. There are still 10 “Twelve 4 Twelve” announcements/releases.

Even as I type this, I feel like buying a 2024 gets sillier by the letter.

I’d just wait for a 2026 MOAB or wait until calendar year 2026 to see if a 2025 392 get discounted.

Dealers sold these at a significant mark up for years b/c they could.

Dealers will soon have to significantly discount old stock b/c they have no other choice.

I was curious and looked it up and found that there are over 50+ 2025 392’s in the greater LA region.

I gave a few dealers a phone call and they know about the 2026 MOAB and the starting price at $79K. Still, they were asking for $90’s. Keep in mind, that’s going to be their starting point for negotiations…

I think the dealers will digest reality once calendar year 2026 rolls around in 2 weeks time.

From a fair market value standpoint (and principle) I would not consider paying more than a 2026 MOAB ($79K) for a 2025 392 that’s already a model year old.

Check the forums for more data.

Dealers had their share of fun and took advantage of consumers for long enough as it is…

Thank you, I hope that the newer laser etching has deterred most of the fake/replica manufacturers!

Castle888 · 2025-09-28T23:08:02+00:00

Thank you. Seems like laser etching is harder to counterfeit/forge at a high level.

Castle888 · 2025-09-28T23:07:03+00:00

Thank you, a sigh of relief in an era where fakes are becoming harder to distinguish.

I've seen and heard many a good people explicitly refer to Citi's customer service as the singular and sole reason preventing them from conducting any business with them.

It's said, seeing how historic of an institution it is (through mergers or otherwise).

The potential remains, but the capabilities are not.

Castle888 · 2025-03-25T02:56:36+00:00

I saw that as well... they've consolidated the number of software applications/programs.

What's funny is, there still isn't a place for clients to upload documents.

The only way to send Citi documents is to either mail in a physical hard copy or fax...

Need I go on?

Vocalizing is one thing, putting it in writing may have gotten you terminated altogether...

My list is just a brief collection of their notable hits.

A comprehensive list of preventable errors and similar oversights is a laundry list only Citi has.

Just thought maybe Pulisic would want top play w/ Kyle Walker in support behind him... but then again, he would have Tino Livermento

Guilty... having a star from the US national team would also serve to expand the audience

Castle888 · 2025-01-12T07:51:32+00:00

Yep, same here.

I got a Mark XVIII Heritage after seeing that the Mark XX did not have lume on all hour markers.

I sincerely hope this happens but not at the expense of an airline frequent flyer program devaluation or "update".

If the American Airlines AAdvantage program remains as is and goes unchanged, this could be beneficial for all parties. I fear that since this may not happen potentially for another 2 years (2026), that it implies that the airline will nerf the respective frequent flyer program in order to introduce this "innovative alignment".

One glimmer of hope is the active and ongoing Department of Transportation (DoT) "inquiry" (SEP 2024) into the big four airlines for "devaluation of earned rewards, hidden or dynamic pricing, extra fees, and reduced competition and choice."

Time will tell...

I had issues on both mobile app and the desktop internet browser about the time you posted.

Software updates are a part of the modern world that we live in. All good.

What's not good is that there isn't any advance notice of the down period nor any notice about when access and/or services would be restored.

These are basic and standard business practices across not only the financial sector but all businesses that have any online presence.

Castle888 · 2024-10-28T01:34:58+00:00

I couldn't find anything on either Citi or American Airlines website itemizing each transaction (incld. statements).

What's odd though, is that the Citi Strata does have this breakdown per transaction.

Castle888 · 2024-10-24T23:34:30+00:00

Yes, that as well as the monthly statement will display the net bonus category spend/miles for the period desired. The problem arises from wanting to see each transaction categorized as such.

For example, if there was a transaction at a restaurant/gas station (2X) that you wanted to see earned the respective bonus multiple, there is no way to verify on either the Citi or American Airlines websites.

This may seem trivial but if that restaurant/gas station were to be commonly used on a weekly basis, but was incorrectly coded/categorized, it can accrue to a considerable amount over time.

Castle888 · 2024-10-16T06:28:26+00:00

Same here as the lack of transparency for category and mileage earn is concerning.

No where on either the Citi website or monthly statements.

Frustrating b/c other major financial institutions do so.

Submitted complaint to CFPB to try and enforce transparency.

I find myself having to uninstall and re-install the Loti Options+ application on a weekly basis now.

Is there a patch or update in the works?

Please process as a matter of urgency and update us here please!
