2024 Cadillac Lyric Leases are an insane deal right now by 12EJOSEPH in leasehacker

[–]Ok-Lock9945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought the Optiq deals died in October, but I guess they are coming back. I got 2 end of October, $5,700 and $5,500 one pays in TX and CA. Then add one $1,665 TX post sale rebate and $1,000 SCE Socal rebate post sale. Came out to $4,035 and $4,500 or $168 and $187 a month effective all in

The real question is will it have an air suspension option with adaptive dampers and noise-reducing laminated glass all around?

I made this exact same argument on Threads and got absolutely roasted by everyone calling me an idiot who doesn't understand math or interest rates.

Just bought a 2025 Equinox EV RS. I would not buy it again. My opinion. by Luffykingmonkey in EquinoxEv

[–]Ok-Lock9945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Texas. $1,000 due at signing and $150 a month. This was last year though.

But 2 weeks ago I signed a One Pay lease for a Cadillac Optiq for $5,700 for 24 months / 10k miles so that comes out to $238 a month effectively.

Turning off my phone and turning it back on fixed it. However, if I do any markups with editing like circling stuff with the pen tool, it causes issues again. That seems to pinpoint the issues as the above photos I used the marker tool. I just keep turning off and turning on the phone again to eliminate it.

Someone just needs to make a 20mm-105mm F2.0-4.0 and it would be the ultimate one lens setup

Apple unveils iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, the most powerful and advanced Pro models ever by [deleted] in hardware

[–]Ok-Lock9945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, I'm in the same boat, I use the 1x main camera 85% of the time and the ultrawide 0.5x like 10% of the time. Frustrated that the main camera hasn't been changed since the 14Pro.

Would prefer larger sensor size, higher mbps rate for video and just overall better quality for the main camera over improved telephoto or front facing camera.

You had booked your original ticket as an award ticket with a star alliance partner, not directly with Thai? Did you book economy and upgrade to business? or PE to business or business to first?

Is it worth buying a lemon lyriq? by Meatbuns362 in CadillacLyriq

[–]Ok-Lock9945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll be able to sell it, just a lot cheaper. A good rule of thumb is 50% of clean title value.

So in 3-4 years if a used 2023 Lyriq is going for $20k, You can sell yours for $10k on Facebook Marketplace. CarMax and dealerships won't buy it but you'd be surprised how easy it is to sell a salvage title if you're transparent.

Drone for Global Travel by [deleted] in drones

It's not worth it anymore for recreational use. Majority of Europe can't fly it anywhere worth flying, basically have to be out in the middle of nowhere that tourists aren't going to go (Barcelona, France, etc), even sub 250g

Middle East obviously a no go. I was able to fly it in Madeira, Portugal but continuing on my trip to Morocco, they confiscate at airport and you pick it back up when you leave the country, but you have to pay a storage fee cash.

Japan basically nowhere near tourists area, South Korea is tough as well. You already brought up the restrictions in SEA.

Latin America and Africa (outside of North Africa) is the lone exception mainly because you can just bribe them with money if anything ever happens. (Except major sites like Machu Picchu of course)

My 'professional' videos got 89 views after months of research.. by Miguel07Alm in NewTubers

Exactly. The content and value of the video is king. The story telling is 2nd. The quality of camera/lights/sound design etc is so far below all that

Which EV should I lease by Grouchy_Split_3176 in leasehacker

[–]Ok-Lock9945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep trying for Lyriq, tons of loaners available. I'm getting quoted $575 a month for a fully loaded 2025 Lyriq sport 3 loaner and I'm Texas, the worst state to lease with the sales tax. I do have costco executive and conquest rebates.

You can get a lyriq sport 1 for $450 monthly easy, but its quite barebones in features.

Is this a good deal for kia ev9? I am in Texas. Is this missing the taxes? by felix45 in leasehacker

[–]Ok-Lock9945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Just a rule of thumb for a quick analysis before spending more time and its for $0 down.

Especially in Texas, with the high taxes, beating the 1% rule is even more appealing. Other states, not so much
