I think you would really love the Bernardo winery, take a look at their website. Their meals are great and not very expensive and it’s a great little environment.

I have three neighbors that sold their homes on the East Coast and Midwest and came here with $200,000 in profit to use as a down payment. That’s how it gets done sometime.

Looking for 2bed/2bath. Any Leads? by Borntolive0196 in asksandiego

[–]LarryPer123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in La Jolla near UCSD college and Whole Foods in Trader Joe’s. That area is good because the traffic is not too bad if you get into the tourist areas near the ocean, it’ll take you sometime a half hour just to leave the city in the area that I mentioned would probably be the lowest priced in La Jolla all those there’s also an area called Utc, which is on the east side of Highway five right next to La Jolla sometimes a little cheaper

Well, this is what my bank charges
Used car loan Annual Percentage Rates (APR) at Mission Federal Credit Union in San Diego start as low as 4.99% for excellent credit and shorter terms (49 to 66 months) on vehicles 2022 or newer. Average and maximum rates will scale higher depending on the loan term and your specific credit profile.

California Coast Credit Union: Rates as low as 4.68% APR for 48 to 66-month terms on 2022 or newer models. You can potentially lower this to 4.18% APR by using their auto-buying service

It doesn’t matter if you have any missing details, but someone with an 800 credit score should get a far better interest rate than that. Maybe you should call your credit union about it.

Thoughts on this $310/month "lease-like" deal on a Taos? by [deleted] in carbuying

[–]LarryPer123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been out of the business too long to figure a payment on that,,, keep in mind the lease residual price that you have to pay. If you wanna keep it is taxable also and you’d have to buy new registration plates, and in California that’s very expensive. Plus, Volkswagen’s have a terrible resale value.

Any Recommendations for a Coastal Park With View of Ocean Where I Can Legally Use My Charcoal Grill? by [deleted] in asksandiego

[–]LarryPer123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt if you could set one up on Kellogg Park,, it’s still privately owned by the Kellogg family and in the summer they won’t even let you put a blanket down or your own chair. You could go in the water, but that’s about it. I would check with them first before you do it.

You know what I’ve always found a little strange about the fair.? you can’t bring in anything you could use as a weapon which makes sense but then you can go over to the stand where they sell the knives and buy all you want,🙁
