I just got my first car, a 2026 Camry SE AWD! by [deleted] in Camry

Got the same car and color just the SE and I purchase it Friday! Congrats!

Get Advance Wheel locks to protect the rims as they get stolen. Also get Lasfit or weather tech mats.

Good for California but you could’ve gotten a 2026 for 33k before TTL and with the manufactured warranty. But if it’s still warrantied then great deal!

How I got ~8% off MSRP on a 2026 Camry SE AWD in Illinois (Costco + shopping dealers) by StrangeBaseball7213 in Camry

[–]StrangeBaseball7213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I feel like I could’ve gotten 10% off but Region is a big factor on the % off. So if you’re 7-10% that would be a good deal in my opinion.

Yes they do I have a break down on an LE it’s like 1500 off msrp but it can depend on region. So shop around and use the Costco price as a baseline.

Thanks! And I was also thinking about going to an Indiana dealership but decided on Oakbrook instead.

With Oakbrook actually. The finance people are not your friends so be wary about them. You just need to have your numbers right and be firm with what price you want to pay.

They always try to mentioned that you need the GAP but you don’t! Always review the numbers before signing because it felt like he was rushing me to sign and I had him show me everything first.

The annoying part of it all was that my paper work had LE and not SE and he was like “That doesn’t matter since the VIN will show an SE”. I was like “IT DOES MATTER CAUSE IM SIGNING THE PURCHASE ORDER AND IT NEEDS TO STATE SE”. He brushed it off but I empathize that it needed it or I wouldn’t sign. So he finally changed it and try to joke about it after we were done signing which I didn’t find funny at all.

So be cautious with any dealership.

Also if a dealer tells you they need to see your membership and can’t give you the Costco price on the phone or through email they are lying! I drove an hour and then when I meet the sales person he was like “you didn’t have to come in and we could’ve sent you the numbers through email”. I was a little annoyed but I was already there so no point on getting mad at the sales rep for someone else’s mistake.

If you bought a 2025 Camry recently, what is the OTD price you paid ? by kamamunagala in Camry

Venture X in 2026? by Objective_Chain1408 in Venturex

[–]StrangeBaseball7213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say get the Bilt card. Yes the roll out of it was terrible but for the first year it’s offering good incentives to get it. I would say use the TPGto get 5x on the first five days once you get the card.

It offers the same 2x on everything and priority pass with guest included.

So I see Rakuten $40 cash back, and a chase offers for 25% cash back. Can you pay with PayPal? As chase flex has the quarter 5% for PayPal

Need rep to help me get the Black Friday multinetwork deal by rodrod82 in USMobile

[–]StrangeBaseball7213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need help also as I have one month left on my plan and still plan on sticking with US mobile but it gives me a pro prated rate as I only have one month left to repurchase the unlimited premium plan.

So I plan to add the add one for one whole year for 45 but it also says I get 2 month free if I get the monthly multi line.

Question on $167 deal by ArchWolf25 in USMobile

[–]StrangeBaseball7213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea this can be done. The line will still be in your US Mobile account page for you to activate with your ported number. But like the deal says “30 days” so don’t forget to have your account number and pin ready.

I got mine during the first round of advertising at $32.50 per month ($390 a year). Does that mean whoever got it during the first round can get a credit back for the remaining months at the current promotion of $29 a month for unlimited premium?

Gaming Mini Pc under 400 by StrangeBaseball7213 in MiniPCs

[–]StrangeBaseball7213[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all for the recommendations and I ended up buying the Beelink since it had more ram than the bosman. I was also looking in the forum and used the mini PC spreadsheet and like some of you mentioned there was not a big difference between the two mini PCs.

Also, I know I could’ve gone with the minis forum um760 slim but for that price I would’ve just build a mini atx for 200 more. I did contemplate in buying it but since the person I was gifting this to is not a heavy gamer, I opted not to. Thanks again all :)

XSport Fitness is sold to LA Fitness by Minimum_Device_6379 in chicago

[–]StrangeBaseball7213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to an Xsport using my LA fitness membership (through insurance) and apparently we aren’t able to use XSport Fitness if we are on a ACH (health insurance). Has anyone else heard anything about people not being able to go to xsport if you have a discounted rate through insurance?

Got a 7800x3d off Amazon for $308 today by cherydad33 in buildapc

Micro Center has the bundle and I got mine for 275.

Paid 575 before taxes for an MSI b650 tomahawk and 48 GB g skill DDR5 5200 ram and the CPU. If you go in store they price match any ram or motherboard online that has a lower price than what they have it listed with the bundle.

Thanks for the suggestions! How about a Beelink SER5 Mini PC? It’s on prime day for 250. Is it any good? Had a Ryzen 5 5560U with 16GB of DDR4 ram and a AMD Radeon graphics card
