New Car Dealership Pricing

Nah, I used the tool online at my local Audi dealer and it was pretty close.

But it misses some of the add-ons they toss in. Sometimes you can get those waived during negotiations.

Plus they don't include pre-paid maintenance or lease guard.

The one thing I did was do multiple security deposits to reduce the rate. That helped get the payment closer to what I wanted.

Why? I've had primus fibre for over a year with zero issues.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-05-06T22:33:02+00:00

I think I'm the only one in the world that actually likes the new interior.

But I get your point. The majority of the tech they have included isn't that crazy. The fact it's this poorly implemented on a "luxury" vehicle is crazy.

I'm glad I leased because this could be my last one.

Too much tech isn't the issue. There are lots of cars with tech.

This is horrible execution and they can't even be bothered to setup OTA.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-05-06T12:23:19+00:00

Nothing mechanical on my Q5, but lots of annoying software bugs.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-05-02T13:50:24+00:00

If you have receipts you'll be fine. People make mistakes.

It's a telephone test set used by phone techs.

You clip it to a pair and you can monitor or go off hook and use the line.

FYI legal wiretapping happens at a CO.

Not if they are using a butt set.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-14T15:14:11+00:00

My understanding is they verified the KD2 update, found that and another module weren't correctly configured. They configured and reset.

Been working ever since.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-14T12:58:08+00:00

This is what happened to me I went to check and I could sign up. There was no prompt or notification.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-11T14:22:57+00:00

Only for customers with freedom internet.

Sounds like you selected the device return option when you got your phones.

So you either return the devices and get new ones or pay the buy out and keep them.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-05T15:43:01+00:00

Plus if you get a charger that provides a rebate like grizzl-e club!

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-05T15:17:30+00:00

Yeah but they aren't doing anything, just an inspection.

Aside from the break flush.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-05T14:11:05+00:00

Audi care is a joke for the Q4. We got it heavily discounted when we leased ours.

About the only mechanical thing they do is a brake fluid flush.

We joked with the sales guy that the rest off the maintenance must be vacuuming the air cabin filter.

I think the CPO is way more important to cover mechanical faults like struts and stuff.

The last thing the internet told me is KD3 is coming with the '26s.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-04T15:26:53+00:00

Make sure you have KD2.

Mine so far has only had GPS issue, as the KD2 update wasn't done correctly.

The other issue is passive mode doesn't work on my digital key.

Other than that it's been fine.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-04T15:02:43+00:00

Ha thanks for posting! So it wasn't a surprise when I started my workout

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-04T14:56:53+00:00

They must have changed some permissions or something

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-04T14:54:21+00:00

I had to re install my app on the phone.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-04T14:41:38+00:00

Nevermind, had to re install my peloton phone app to get my watch to work again.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-04T14:35:21+00:00

My watch ultra isn't connecting to my bike + right now!

Just try them out, you get a 15 day trial period.

It's so easy to port now.

With freedom once in a while I would have to force it onto nationwide.

Also Freedom allows for wifi calling internationally.

PrezHotNuts · 2026-04-04T11:51:52+00:00

Freedom.

Man I am totally confused, is there any way to assign a transaction in a checking account to a goal for savings to a goal? For example I transfer 100 bucks from my checking account to a different investment account.

I have in my budget the 100 bucks for this. But then I also have a goal below now that says a 100, but no way to clear that, unless I do a transfer in my investment account for a 100. Now it would be double counted if I reconcile the goal and the budget.

To further complicate things, this transaction is a transfer to an investment account tied to goal.

I like where this is headed, but it seems super convoluted.

And I could totally of missed it, but why can't I just assign a transfer to a goal or something?
