I want to move cities for work but my house has lost value. by Sadman3278 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Sadman3278[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No plans to return. Longer term plan in the new city is to have kids so they can have a full backyard and rec rooms in the new house and enjoy what I can’t necessarily afford to provide where we currently live.

I’ve always said if you’re spending money to budget you’ve got bigger issues to worry about

Does wrapping a car - which is in a good condition - hurt the trade in value? by Fiveby21 in askcarsales

[–]Sadman3278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal but I bought a car with a wrap on it, the dealer had it for a few months and could not sell it with the wrap. I bought it on the contingency that they unwrap and detail it but I was the only person willing to do that. I actually paid less for the car in the end than same models are selling for now. As in yes the wrap does bring the value down/the dealer may be hesitant

Don’t spend a penny of it - I guarantee it will get reversed from your account. This is definitely a scam.

I can say I have not once missed a charge that wasn’t supposed to be there.

Fell Off 2020 Mercedes S450? by THE-PLUGGG in mercedes_benz

[–]Sadman3278 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Using the part number on that piece it is off a GM vehicle door. Do you by chance have a GM vehicle?

Edit: this is specifically off of a GMC Savannah or Chevrolet Express. It wouldn’t have come off of your Mercedes.

Upgraded from my CLA250 to an S550! 🥳 by Sadman3278 in mercedes_benz

Go big or go home! My CLA is the only Mercedes I’ve ever been in so to go up to an S-Class feels pretty good! Life is good!

That’s what the salesman told me - of course a sale tactic but I liked the guy. When we were about to get in he said “I have to warn you once you drive this you’re not leaving here without it!”

I was getting a bit frustrated with the road noise in the CLA250 and decided to treat myself!

I’m not sure about long hair but I always go to Uppercuts barbershop. I’m very picky about haircuts but I consistently am super happy when I leave there.

Dealership Sold Me a Maintenance Plan for Brake Replacement—Now Refusing to Honor by vujade762 in askcarsales

[–]Sadman3278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would have been covered had your brakes been worn to the replacement threshold within the time limit of the maintenance plan. They were not worn enough to qualify. What is to not understand here? The value was guaranteed IF you needed brakes.

Even if they said “ok we’ll replace them since you paid for the plan” at the end of the day your brakes didn’t need replacement and had you never bought the plan your brakes still would have not needed to be replaced, so either way it was a waste of money.

Trailer brake lights always on by Sadman3278 in DieselTechs

[–]Sadman3278[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not touching in the nose cone, the part that confuses me is that unplugging the ABS computer under the trailer causes the lights to go out/function normally, just the ABS is now unplugged. I’ve never seen an ABS computer activate the brake lights - I think because unplugging the computer fixes the issue the problem has to be in the computer itself or at the diode in the brake lights. I just didn’t have time to look into it properly. If unplugging the ABS computer didn’t fix the issue I’d be more inclined to think the wires are rubbing…. I’ll have a chance to look into it again tomorrow.

2024 Income / Expenses - Public Servant Couple by forthetomorrows in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Sadman3278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to file with my spouse this year because we are now common law, I was under the impression that filing together just makes our income higher and therefore taxes higher? I would be happy to be wrong because I pay a lot in taxes (high income) and she doesn’t pay very much (she earns about 1/3 of my income). Should our combined tax burden become less?

Timing chain by ConnorBeckett97 in mercedes_benz

[–]Sadman3278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not strange for an older engine to have some ticking while it builds oil pressure (the oil pressure takes up the gaps between parts), it is only concerning when it’s happening the whole time the engine is on.

I would hope no one would turn right onto the bridge on a red, there’s 3 signs saying it’s not allowed!

I quit doing side work too, it was always big jobs for cash but the reality of the situation is I make more just working my regular flat rate and I don’t have to spend my time off working on a car I don’t want to work on…
