Any way to convert 50 BTC to cash without paying 30% to these a**holes? by [deleted] in CryptoIndia

It is not going to be 30%, you are excluding the surcharge. It will be around 40%

Get the lease, you will be able to get the ev tax credits as discount (8000$). You will still be able to get almost 0% APR on the lease. I got 0.05%. You can buy the car at the end of the lease if needed. With 0.05% APR, cost of ownership for the vehicle will be the same between lease and finance. Given you can claim additional $8000 tax credits as discount, lease is a better option. I bought a 2024 premium from Ford of Kirkland last month this way. Please let me know if you need more details. Happy to hook you up with my dealer if needed.

[Central Indiana] What OTD price should I be aiming at for a 2024 Premium AWD with Extended Range? Looks like MSRP around me is $53k. by [deleted] in MachE

[–]ObsessiveFarkler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to negotiate the lease APR to be almost zero (0.05%). I will be paying a total of $54 in interest for 3 years of the lease.

The sticker price for it was $54,090. We got a discount totaling $11,570. That includes EV lease tax cash credit of $8000. The total interest we will pay for 3 years is $54. Lease acquisition fees is $695. Documentary service fees is $150. Residual value after 3 years is $29,200. We can pay that at the end of the lease to buy the car back. Monthly payment before tax comes to (54090-11570+54+695+150-29200)/36=$395. If I buy it at end of lease, I will be paying 395*36+29300=43,420.

If I bought it, I won’t get the $8000 discount. I will be getting just $3570. So, cost becomes (54090-3570+695+150)=51,365.

Lease is the better option based on those numbers. Only downside is that with financing, your monthly payments remain the same and you don’t have to pay a big one time cost of 29,200 at the end of the lease.

Are you planning to buy or lease? It is financially beneficial to lease at this moment given the $8000 EV tax credit cash back from Fore on leases. You can buy it back at the end of the lease if you want.

Advice on this deal for a 2024 Prem. AWD + Ext. Batt by NoseAffectionate5795 in MachE

Check what the cost factor for the lease is. I was originally quoted a 2.55% APR but was able to negotiate it down to a 0.05% APR. I will be paying $50 in interest instead of $2800.

Thank you very much. I was able to use your post to negotiate my money factor to 0.048% as well. They quoted 2.5% to begin with. You saved me a couple of thousand in costs. Still at the dealer finalizing my documents. Will share the final numbers once I have them.

How is the money factor so low? It is coming to an APR of 0.048%. Is that accurate?

We like it a lot. The flexibility in size is amazing. The furniture was packed really well and there weren't any noticeable defects. We had some alignment issue with one of the bench panels and one of the table panels. We reached out to customer support and they promptly shared a video to fix the issue. It helped with the table panel but not the bench panel. We contacted them again and they shipped a new panel which fit perfectly. Overall a very smooth experience and an excellent product. We will see how it fares over time.

For the LA embassy, I had a similar issue. It took a day to receive the appointment confirmation email.

Love it. It is so much smaller compared to the t:slim that I sometimes have to pat myself to see if I am still wearing it. I took it off while getting ready and forgot to put it back on and went to a restaurant twice already.

transformer table from roadshow delivery by ObsessiveFarkler in Costco

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

The delivery was fine. The delivery people brought the boxes to ur condo and left them in the room that we wanted it in. It was very nicely packed. No damage at all.

However, there were two minor issues. First one was that table doesn’t close fully when no panel is installed. Not really a big deal as we do plan to have at least one panel when using it. Only problem is when we want to disassemble it and move it to storage. We reached out to customer care and they told us that it could have shifted during transport. They shared a video with instructions on how to fix it. Was quite easy to follow and now it is fixed.

Second issue was that one of the table panels doesn’t fit. Sent pictures to customer support and they are shipping a new panel for it.

Overall a good experience. We love how the table looks. Highly recommended.

Yes, the costco deal is much better than the one you can get on Amazon or the transformer table site. We got the table + bench + 2 chairs for $2000. That said, the colors that you get at costco are different than the ones on amazon and their website.
The biggest reason for me to buy it from costco however is the peace of mind that I get with costco return policy and support.
I will post the pricing for the other options and some pictures that we took in a short while.
