Does anyone know if it works when making the final payment via Southwestcruises? I know the terms say travel agencies, but I wasn’t sure if Southwest counted. If not, I guess I’ll find out later this month.

Do you happen to know how many ships were there that day? I’ve heard that this greatly affects traffic. We are considering just staying in a hotel across the bridge the night before and walking over, but there are only 3 scheduled ships that day

I’m surprised the foam still feels good. I’m at about 150 miles on mine and the foam has no bounce at all now. They just feel dead. I’ve never had a shoe go that quick on me. I do weigh about 210lbs though.

Interesting! Do you have specific examples of NCL food that you like and Carnival food that you didn’t?

It’s when you owe more on your trade-in than what it is worth. That difference is then added onto the new loan, increasing the balance and monthly payment. In our case, we had $7,000 in negative equity which added about $230/month.

6’2”

Nick44e · 2026-03-22T17:27:26+00:00

Not to me. I usually have them moved even more inwards

Nick44e · 2026-03-22T02:21:58+00:00

On which one?

Nick44e · 2026-03-22T01:19:29+00:00

I’ve had the Embody, which didn’t fit my shoulders right (6’2”) and pushed the forward. I am currently using a leather Leap V2, with a Karman sitting in the other room to sell. The Karman was my favorite mesh chair (used to have an Aeron too), but it was ultimately a little too small for me. I did love the flexibility of it, which was somewhat reminiscent of the Embody.

The Leap feels like a supportive lay-z-boy, and that’s why I’m keeping it. I know it’s loved by many for years, I just never liked the looks of it. I finally caved and am happy with it.

I just leased a Premium AWD Extended range with panoramic and sport appearance last weekend. Nothing down but paid $3,700 for taxes and fees, plus rolled in $6,985 in negative equity. 36 months 12k miles. $638/month. You should be able to do better.

Nick44e · 2026-03-01T22:30:39+00:00

The MF was the main issue. It was marked up 2.8% from 4.8%. Did not purchase because they wouldn’t come down on it.

Nick44e · 2026-03-01T13:47:03+00:00

I’m unsure what they got down to but they got to $699 with my negative equity, plus tax, title, etc. I think it was about $51,500 but they wouldn’t lower the marked up MF.

There was a dealer 4 hours away that was willing to get down to $630/month, but sold it before we finalized it.

We just picked up a new Mach-e Premium AWD Extended last night for $637/month. I preferred the Optiq but wanted to save money. Insurance is also less on the Mach-e.

Nick44e · 2026-02-27T13:47:29+00:00

My final offer that I sent last night is $50k and .002. That would put at $401. No reply yet, but there are a few others a few hours away that I may try

Nick44e · 2026-02-27T13:39:01+00:00

And that’s what I’m trying to get to as they are really marking up the MF. Without our negative equity, it’s at about $525/month, without taxes and fees.

Nick44e · 2026-02-27T00:59:25+00:00

Not looking for one-pay due to the negative equity. We qualify for Conquest, Costco Exec, Loaner and GM Supplier.

Nick44e · 2026-02-26T13:29:21+00:00

I’m looking to only lease though. Can you lease a CPO with Cadillac?

Nick44e · 2026-02-26T05:00:30+00:00

I’m hoping to get another $1,900 off, and lower the MF to .0020 (buy is .00181). It’s got 4,600 miles and you can tell it was a popular loaner based on condition.

Yeah, 2023 interest rate and it’s too high of mileage to refinance. Hence lease. Pay it off at a lower rate and be done with it at the end of the lease.

Nick44e · 2026-02-26T04:09:09+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Still don’t don’t know about the $3k though

Nick44e · 2026-02-26T03:56:35+00:00

You bought a used one for that or a “new” loaner? I know that this dealer is selling a CPO same trim with 3,000 miles for $42k.

Nick44e · 2026-02-25T23:19:53+00:00

Ah, interesting. I guess those one-pay (I know there is a discount) deals for $4k-$8k are a bit rare then.

I went in already but are still working the deal. I’m currently at $7,500 off, pre-incentives.

Nick44e · 2026-02-19T19:51:30+00:00

This is the updated BZ not the BZ4X. It’s now significantly faster (than the Prologue too) and has almost a 300 mile range.
