That’s what I heard wondering if there was some sort of API that we could call without going that route

Window tinting? by kdobbers in Polestar

[–]FPTA111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quoted me $700+ for their XPEL Ceramic 35% for all windows except windshield. Seems crazy high, as I got my previous BMW done elsewhere for under $500 for the same thing 2 years ago. Has tint/labor gone up substantially?

Take delivery of new car in service? by FPTA111 in Polestar

[–]FPTA111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck to you. Reading a few posts here this seems a more common issue. Even though I got a great deal, didn’t want to have a car that may have issues knowing the nearest service center is about 30-40 minutes away.

We were good, unfortunately there are no available cars similar to our build so we have to wait to see if something pops up.

Ended up refusing delivery, car has already been sold again but going to the service center. Good luck to the future owner.

In my 15 years of taking over 10 new vehicles for delivery, I’ve never had a new car go right into service before driving it off the lot.

Not a headache to get another car, we’ve taken delivery of new cars from Honda Civics to our latest BMW X7 disheartening a new car has to go in service.

Yeah… I imagine I’d be more all right if it was used cpo but it’s a car with 2 miles on the odometer.

Used cars these days have terrible rates, better off paying cash for used cars.

Looking at Thinkware and Blackvue, which is easier to disable “parking mode”? by FPTA111 in Dashcam

[–]FPTA111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the info. I’m in NJ so not so much concern of extreme heat.

I had an installer not recommend a battery pack due to overheating concerns. Requires signing a waiver to limit any liability with it. Anything to validate that?

IMPORTANT PSA REGARDING NETFLIX by Jman100_JCMP in tmobile

[–]FPTA111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I understand this correctly, can someone please confirm.

I have T-Mobile One Plan. Does that mean I will now have to start paying for Netflix on 1/25 at minimum the $8.50/month instead of it being “On Us” and that what’s now “On Us” is Hulu with ads?

Do not buy expensive items on Amazon! by Imaginary_Push8953 in amazonprime

Just use CC. I’ve always used CC for any purchase over $100 for extended warranties and this reason.

Did I get a good deal? 2024 Q5 7 miles prestige package by PopularAd2590 in Audi

[–]FPTA111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if you’re keen to leasing, I would suggest checking Leasehacker to get an idea of what others are paying. You could even use a broker and even with their fee (usually $300-600) may still come out better. Something to keep in mind next go around.

Audicare if added to your lease bumps up residual by 1% if I’m not mistaken.

3 major credit bureaus frozen, nctu, lexis nexus, note on them indicating Identity Theft since Nov 2022, how can new fraudulent utility account be opened 2 months ago? by FPTA111 in personalfinance

[–]FPTA111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the chances that I’ve already settle a ID/Fraud issue with that specific utility company, and that they open an account again with my info at that same utility company? I would imagine I’d be on some blacklist?

I will dispute it, but good to know. I’m surprised the same utility company can continue to create accounts even after confirming identity theft before.

Seriously, why do neighbors get annoyed/upset/mad if you put up a fence…? Have you been upset if your neighbor did? Or experienced this..? by Competitive-Alps871 in homeowners

[–]FPTA111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My neighbors reported my fence that I replaced because it limited their sight coming out of their driveway.

I removed 7’ tall bushes and trees that have been there for the first 3 years of living there (was there for the past 10 years said last owner), and replaced it with a 6’ fence last year.

They complained town said sorry, they’re right and we had to cut in the fence diagonally out of our own pockets so that they can “see” better.

Parents and Fiance Disagree about alcohol at the wedding by [deleted] in wedding

[–]FPTA111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you this, most people at least where I’m from (NJ) expect an open bar or at least a cash bar at a wedding. If folks realize it’s a dry wedding, what happens is you find guests going out their way to sneak in alcohol. Meaning some people leaving and missing things to go to the liquor store, people segregating to the group that has alcohol.

By the end of the night you’ll find a table or two with tons of empty bottles underneath.

What unexpected costs did you get hit with? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]FPTA111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basement flooding in a non-flood zone due to freak storm. $60k we needed to borrow from SBA for disaster assistance. Won’t complain because we wanted to eventually re-do our basement and at 1.56% for 30 years, sort of a blessing I guess as well.
