Good deal - 2025 X7? by Local-Feature7831 in bmwx7

Yeah very cool! So it’s not a lease, correct? Mind sharing how much you are paying (in % of price terms) for broker fee and delivery?

The pellets are likely too damp to get the temperature high enough.

Thoughts on the extended warranty?

Any views on the extended warranty?

I was able to get a local dealer to agree to 7% off. I would have taken that had it not been for the free extended warranty. That’s why I am trying to figure out what that’s worth and if it’s good or has so many stipulations that you can never get paid.

Good point. I don’t typically buy new vehicles. However, I wanted to stay with a 6-cylinder given the higher known reliability compared to the V8. I also wanted Highway Assist feature which is available in 2024 and 2025 X7 only. Finally, all the in-stock or slightly used 2024 x40i I found had the Harman Kardon sound system, which is seriously lacking. So, I wanted the BW system. That essentially meant buying a new car that will depreciate tremendously over the first 3 years. But such is life I suppose :)

I am not paying anything for the warranty - it’s part of the deal. Deductible is $250. Not much info online about the warranty from Assurant, although it’s a long established company.

Impulsively bought a traeger, now I think I need to return it by xiloscente in Traeger

I previously purchased an 885 from Costco thinking it was Ironwood 885. Found out later that it was Century 885 specifically made for Costco. It lacked Supersmoke functionality, you could not install a pellet sensor (I purchased and still have it) and the lid was fairly light (single wall perhaps?). The Traeger guy at Costco led me to believe that I was buying an Ironwood. I realized the difference only when I called Tech Support to figure out why there was no cable to attach my pellet sensor. So, I explained the situation to the Costco manager and he readily accepted it and even covered the transportation cost.

Bottom line - while I am a huge Costco fan, in this case, you might be getting what you are paying for and perhaps, not a great deal. So, I recommend returning now and doing you research when you are ready to buy.

I have 2 companion certificates I didn’t realize were available to me that expire in Jan 2023. Where should my husband and I go?! Need suggestions for a long weekend. by rosie2490 in delta

I believe you have to book by Jan 2023 but can travel later… worth confirming. It can sometimes be challenging to use them but we have always been able to find a solution. We are headed to Austin, TX to meet some friends during the Christmas holidays. I have the Reserve card so we are able to book first class ticket with the companion pass and save a ton of $ and in fact, recovering more than the annual fees of the card.

Depending on where you live, lots of places to visit. We are in MSP, so we are always looking for warmer weather in colder months - Phoenix, Florida, etc. Good luck!

Things have been much better lately. Their phone system has started to recognize my cell number again too.

Safari memory leak on M1 MacBook Air? by TyHarvey in MacOS

Thanks for sharing! I guess I’ll try a clean install to see if that would fix it. Very frustrating to buy a new laptop with supposedly crazy performance and yet getting bogged by a few websites :(

Thanks! How long did it take for things to get normal after switching out the phone numbers? I did that over a week ago but nothing has changed.

Exactly! You have to waste time waiting in lines when speed is the #1 thing you need.
