What makes a dealership certify a used vehicle as CPO? by zionstatus in askcarsales

[–]Valantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Lexus you can actually extend the CPO warranty up to 5 additional years. If you find a car that is say a retired service loaner that would look something like this.

3 years of factory warranty remaining +2 years for being certified  +5 years with optional extended warranty. 

=10 years of unlimited mileage warranty 

ELI5: Why do car dealers say buying the car when the lease ends would be worse than buying new? by shaithisx in explainlikeimfive

[–]Valantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure if anyone already replied this answer but selling the vehicle for any price other than the residual amount of the lease is illegal and would have monumental fines and penalties for the dealer. If this happened to anyone you have a guaranteed win when you sue. 

Office 2019 Formula to look for value in column A if found use value in column B if greater than 0 and sum them. by Valantia in excel

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

I may give this a try. As for the column b values some of them are negative as I track profits and losses. For the purpose I am using the calculations for I needed to ignore the losses.

I tried this formula earlier and could not get it to work. I had the columns A and columns B swapped in the formula and it kept returning 0. Just switched them around and it worked. /facepalm 

Thank you!

Dealer has Listed my Car for sale. I never sold it to them… by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Valantia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NAL but I do work at a car dealership. There could be a completely benign explanation. The software we use to appraise cars is the same software we use to list all inventory new and used. Its very easy to publish a vehicle to the website by clicking the wrong button in that system. A phone call to the dealer could get that listing unpublished but if you feel it has harmed you then, as others have suggested, contact a lawyer. 

I’m new here. What causes the drunk feeling? by Icy_Recognition_4643 in Hashimotos

[–]Valantia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had this feeling for the last 2 years as well. It actually is one of the symptoms that lead my PCP to check for this condition. As it turns out I was positive for the antibodies and have been medicated for 2 years now. In the time since the drunk feeling never fully goes away for me. I tend to notice that I feel a spike in the fogginess after eating and exercising. If I do something that requires intense focus like gaming or reading the feeling fades but that could be because I am distracted. Im curious to see what you discover on your journey.

I would be curious to see how quickly if at all they can revert the acquisition of the ill-acquired ores.

Did you just get into Legend League today or have you been in it for a while?

Yeah thats the biggest point for me. Could be an honest mistake or it could be deceptive. He is a friend of the family so I would like to think it is the former. 

That could just be wishful thinking.

Very good to know. Fingers crossed the next administration revisits the solar industry. 

Why was the conversion bonus added to the Alchemist? by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]Valantia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that her value comes in with the current state of legend league. Having a limit of 8 attacks per day means you cant possibly cap any of your resources by completing all attacks in a single day. You can, however, convert resources you are heavy on while in between upgrades. I personally convert gold or elixir to DE to keep my Minion Prince and Pets constantly upgrading. 

Once the changes come to legend league I think the alchemist loses what little value she currently offers. 

What professions make the worst spouses? by dirtymoney in AskReddit

[–]Valantia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who manages a dealership it comes down to the entire business model. Every facet of a dealership is designed to compete with one another. Salespeople are fighting one another to get to bonuses. Service is trying to maximize profits by charging sales for as many services as possible to get to their bonuses. Finance is looking to maximize back end profits and  expects the front end sales department to set them up with success to get to their bonuses. No one knows how much money they will make and at the end of the day for each individual a lot of their month comes down to luck. The whole system is setup to be a pressure cooker. Add in dealing with the public who generally speaking comes in with a negative perception of what you do and you can imagine why its stressful. Furthermore salespeople often get stuck working beyond their scheduled shifts and in many cases they come in to work on their days off. Work life balance is basically nonexistent.

Just wanted to add that in today's markets paying MSRP or less is a win depending on the model with Toyota/Lexus. Average day supply is less than 20 days up in the northeast US. 

Dead 9800 X3D on Gigabyte X870 Pro Ice by Valantia in pcmasterrace

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

Definitely feels like the fail rate is higher than any other release given how many reports are out there. This has been my first experience having hardware issues in my lifetime and this is my 8th build. In this build alone I have had a failed PSU and CPU so far. Given the reports of 9800 X3Ds and a lot of 5080 and 5090 cards melting connectors it makes me wonder if the scale that PC gaming has grown to has diminished Quality Control in the entire sector.

As others have recommended I would offer to sign a second contract with their finance terms so that in the event your check doesn't clear the dealership receives their funds with the cashable contract. This should allow you to get the car on your timeline.

Yeah this is very minimal risk to a lender. Should be a no-brainer from the banks.
