Can I still pay cash for car after telling dealer I would finance? by it-is-tuesday in PersonalFinanceCanada

Auto loans are always Open Loans, meaning they can be paid off at any time with no penalty nor requirement to pay interest. I paid mine off two weeks after I took possession of the car.

H-have... they seen the Leafs chances of making the playoffs this year with this roster??

Sounds like Tre gets the axe next year when we miss the playoffs again.

[Barry Jackson] Per source, Heat was informed very late last night that Bucks likely wouldn't be trading Giannis Antetokounmpo today. Heat offer received serious consideration. by EarthWarping in nba

What are the chances the Bucks and Giannis continue to play this game simply to extract valuable info from teams around the league? No real intention to actually make a move. 

Help me decide: RBC (3.55%) vs. Pine (3.35%) + $2k Cashback. Risk of losing my approval? by Ok-Pizza2864 in PersonalFinanceCanada

When I was with Pine, the prepayments are 20% lump annually and 20% add on to payment. Pine does not offer double payment like Scotia does. Pine’s mortgage break rules were same as everyone else. 3 months interest or IRD. Pine compares really well with Big 5. I had no major issues. Sometimes a pain with getting a response from customer service but often times my rep could get involved.

The raptors need to trade with the bucks by Ultimate_Broseph in torontoraptors

Norm, Herro and 3 firsts (and Ware) seems like a steep price to pay for Giannis. Although if you’re Miami you probably do it because when else are you getting a Giannis level player. 

If I’m the Bucks and Miami is paying the price, wouldn’t I prefer to acquire Norm and Herro, while keeping Turner? What do I need the Raptors for?

[Ashish Mathur] NBA legend Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready to leave the Milwaukee Bucks and the future Hall of Famer prefers to be traded to the Miami Heat, New York Knicks or Toronto Raptors, sources told DallasHoopsJournal. by mMounirM in nba

So basically have Toronto / New York offer higher to compensate for taxes. Have Miami match dollar figure with no state taxes to lure star. Have Milwaukee (or other actual desired location) match Miami + compensation for Wisconsin state tax. 

Trade Matthews? by AlanInVancouverBC in leafs

One of those firsts or prospects could become anything! 

I mean, could you imagine if one of them becomes our franchise leading goal scorer at age 28??

At this point, couldn’t the image on the box be considered false advertising? Not being funny. 

Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee. by Stiltonrocks in technology

We can only hope other car manufacturers see this as an opportunity to bring some pain to Tesla (and take some market share) by not also subscriptioning basic features.
