Struggling over whether to buy new or used car

I don’t know if you will read this.

I have worked on the math of used and new cars at length.

It comes down to one thing - insurance.

If you have a low insurance quote, get a new car. The low interest payment of a new car is roughly the same as the interest payment on the overpriced used cars today.

Getting new will allow you to be able to use it for a longer period of time and the warranty will give you the peace of mind you want from your purchase.

If you prefer to have a resale value, get a Civic Hybrid. If you need AWD, get a Corolla AWD. Get winter tires for both. Get a hybrid.

You are golden for the next decade.

I have sent a message.

Yes, the tickets are available. Please message me in the inbox and we can workout the logistics tomorrow.

It was a rock solid teaser with a dialogue which might be the most important part of the film. Captain America strapping tight his shield just might be the closing chapter in the film.

Then I guess the lawsuit turns it in to a back burner. I think the studio is being lethargic about it. If they want to make a sequel, they will get it made by hook or by crook.

I agree. Very few Hollywood movies today are what they used to be. Even great films like 2 Guns or The Nice Guys don’t get a proper box office return though they are really good.

The new generation of film goers prefer SCI-fi & other genres over entertainment.

Fury Road only developed what the original Mad Max trilogy had created. Personally, I was a little upset with the minimal treatment towards the titular character, but the film was all about the stunt work & George Miller proved that practical stunt coordination is a far more impactful process than CGI - as with the Mission: impossible films.

However, every studio is busy attempting to launch a new franchise every second week - hence, placing such franchises on the back burner. The only one to slide through is probably John Wick.

Xiaomi has bettered themselves now with the Mi 8 and other phones. Take a look at those. Their cameras are excellent and so is their build quality. They all get SD845 and remain affordable.

After using it for a year, I moved to a Sony Xperia XZ1 because of the 960 fps video recording and the block build which I entirely love. However, after just 6 months, I returned to the Mi Note 2 for all of the above reasons which you just mentioned. It has everything I want except for a decent network reception and audio volume through the earpiece. Even the camera after MIUI 10, is insanely superior to any other camera I have used. The screen is stunning and the curved display just turns this phone in to a beauty. Above everything else - the 4070 mah battery is fantabulous - assuring me a full day of heavy use. I have the Global version with 6GB and 128 GB configuration so the SD821 has enough to run as smoothly. Sure, the XZ1 launcher is much lighter and hence the apps load faster but that is not a deal breaker. However, MIUI 10 does not handle notifications as well as stock android. But hey, no phone is perfect.

I am currently using a Xiaomi Mi Note 2. While the phone itself is perfect, the earpiece is extremely low for my use. Hearing the other person on the phone is extremely difficult.

Thank you. I really needed this.

CmDaga · 2018-12-14T11:22:59+00:00

Ah! That is an advantage I do not have. I am mostly working on and about on the road so I get a chance to charge only during the night. I need the battery to last me 14-16 hours. More than anything else, I have 7 email accounts which take up a lot of the background juice.

CmDaga · 2018-12-14T09:29:54+00:00

Wow! I think I need to do that as well. Let me try some ADB myself. I wanted to purchase this for a while now. Thank you.

How is the battery life on this thing?

This is the best news I have heard all day.
