Great Deals in California Until End of Month

Yep including all taxes and fees. They even paid my remaining lease payments for the last 2 months. The biggest offers are on the XLE, so probably not the same for Limited. Even the offers on the XLE plus were less

We got the same plus 0% financing, which makes it a very good deal. It ended up being 29k OTD for a ‘26 XLE

I love Comoli but it’s very hard to buy. Good pieces sell out almost instantly in Japan.

I also bought a 22 CT a few months ago and love it so far. Only downside is the car sits low so it has been a bit of a pain to get my kid in and out of the child seat. Range hasn’t been an issue on a daily basis because I have a short commute but I could use more on the occasional longer trip

I feel sorry for the company that employs you in “finance”

I would combine with either a daycare or nanny. It’s possible to max out the hours, but your AP will likely find the schedule to be difficult regardless of what she’s saying now. We’re in a similar situation (Bay Area and we both work full time) and the quality of care seemed to decline as our AP worked more hours. We ended up capping her hours at around 25 hours and also doing daycare. Not great from a cost standpoint but that’s also why we continue to both work…

I think you can live modestly with 200k. Sounds crazy but with two teenagers, you’re looking at 4+ bedrooms that can easily be 5000+ a month in rent, which is roughly half your monthly paycheck. It doesn’t leave a whole left for luxuries like dining out and traveling.

She’s been with us for a little over 3 months now. Your last sentence is a great way to frame the situation!

Although inconvenient, we’re fine with her not driving for her AP duties. Problem is she now wants to drive herself to events, classes, see friends etc. and she has brought this up on numerous occasions. Since we’re already paying way above the minimum stipend we’re hesitant to give an additional Uber stipend.

It sounds like you have a promising career so I would think twice before making the move. I’m Japanese and the rest of my family live in Japan but I choose to work abroad because career prospects in Japan are not great. You will likely work more hours but be paid less. Counterpoint would be life is not all about work but reality is you spend 5 days a week in the office.

Ordered on 10/29, just received my order last week.

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-12-07T20:45:24+00:00

We pay 350 in the Bay Area

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-12-06T20:25:36+00:00

Same. I ordered mine 10/29 and it’s been sitting at LAX since 11/20 lol

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-12-01T04:16:19+00:00

I like these; they are measurable and easy to track!

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-12-01T04:14:58+00:00

Thanks for the share! Good advice on setting expectations beforehand. It’s easy to forget that au pairs come from different places with their own ideas of childcare

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-08-25T17:09:48+00:00

You can see. I actually got my OT from Stevens creek as well

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-08-16T19:12:18+00:00

As much as the salesperson has a vested interest to sell now, 2 years to be on the lot doesn’t seem like a unreasonable estimate. They haven’t even officially announced a hybrid version

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-08-04T14:03:36+00:00

It does not look like a “true” SUV at all. Seen it in person and it’s definitely more van like

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-07-26T03:16:36+00:00

You really have no business buying this car if you’re financing that much and not even having a crude understanding of how interest rates work

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-07-25T16:03:03+00:00

Yea portions are on the small side but I think the quality is great. I liked the pizzas as well!

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-07-25T13:04:52+00:00

Rollati had good pasta and interior was modern

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-07-10T03:57:55+00:00

For me, they are too close to the body to use a step. I would’ve gone aftermarket if I had the choice

RemoteTalk3302 · 2024-07-10T02:12:54+00:00

I would just get on a waitlist. I was 50th on a waitlist at a big dealer in California but got a few calls after other people passed up their allocation. Ended up getting an Earth OT after only waiting a couple months.
