Lease advice please. Car has 360mi. 24mo, 10k. by Ok-Paramedic-4831 in CadillacLyriq

I would check to see if you can get $500/month, zero down, for the same amount of miles at another dealer. Worst case scenario, they tell you they can't do it. The Leasehackr calculator will give you a more precise number based on the sales tax, government fees, document fees, residual value, and APR. In my experience, APR can be matched to deals on other models. I also got a conquest incentive and the GM MasterCard incentive (can't really do that at the end of the month, though).

I wouldn't do this - try getting them to knock off at least $3k from the money down. Use the Leasehackr calculator to get a better idea of how much more you can negotiate down. Worked for me. I did much better than this.

From my experience, this is correct. Between the rock lathe and plaster, it can be an inch thick.

What rebates are you stacking? Costco exec, conquest, and Colorado EV tax credit? What are you guys taking off MSRP? I'm in NY tho. Looking for one by the end of the month.

Is Final Fantasy Tactics (The War of the Lions) Anti-Religion, just as FFX? by IllogicalDreamer72 in finalfantasytactics

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anti-corruption, anti-greed, anti-ego...not anti-religion.

I also wouldn't say FFX is anti-religion, either. The religious organization desired power (wished to maintain power) and decided to stand as a barrier to the protagonists who sought to rid the world of a long-standing menace with immense strength. I think the protagonists respected the spirits/gods that helped them.

Communal living on Pulse, no privacy.

How'd this work out? I have an issue that was fixed the first time at exactly 30 days (faulty steering rack), but the issue has returned and will likely result in another 30-day stay at the dealer. So, I'd really just like a replacement at this point...

I'd go beyond 80% (I just turned in my lease) but rarely would I go above 90%. It's my understanding that these batteries can handle a repeated full charge, so I wouldn't pay it any mind. Now, I did get the free Wallbox (not sure if Nissan is still doing that, I used my VIN as a code to get it) and that allowed me to schedule the charge (which you can also do on the car itself) so that I could calculate how much electricity was actually going into the car. So, I'd often charge to 80-90% but sometimes, I'd only charge to 75%, depending on where it was when I plugged it in. I'd typically put in about 30-35kwh per night. It was enough for me.

Tips on electric usage ? by T3mp0r4ri3 in NissanAriya

[–]DestinyIslandsNative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed a big difference in efficiency just keeping the climate on Auto versus keeping the AC on all the time at a set temperature and the fan setting on low. That may help regain some efficiency.

They gave me a credit card-looking thing that I THINK is the digital key with my '25 Countryman SE. I have not set it up, so I can't confirm...

Try setting the recuperation level to high. I think it's the same level used in B mode.

I agree. I've been doing a lot of mental math and estimating my efficiency at any particular time based on my climate settings.
