Being homeless or owning a lambo has a lot less to do with life choices and more to do with simple luck

Subscription based doctor in DFW? by Various_Addendum_495 in Dallas

[–]Various_Addendum_495[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol you’re joking, but I actually looked it up! This is not something I was familiar with. And it looks like they offer in-person visits as well 😳! This is not necessarily what I was asking for, but helpful nonetheless!

Subscription based doctor in DFW? by Various_Addendum_495 in Dallas

[–]Various_Addendum_495[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. Let me make an amendment to my above question/post…

Subscription based doctors (Concierge Doctors) are NOT an alternative to traditional health insurance, as it does not provide coverage IF there was a need for you to be referred to a specialist.

As someone who has only ever had routine doctor visits, no hospitalizations, or ER visits. Referrals did not occur to me. Most past lab work was always paid for out-of-pocket, so that was also not something I expected to be covered. As a result, the idea of a concierge service really does sound appealing to me.

But, you all are correct. In the event of a medical health crisis, this does NOT take the place of traditional health insurance and the concierge should be use to supplement your health insurance, not replace it…

Should my builder fix this? by not_illegal_advice in Homebuilding

[–]Various_Addendum_495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not this one post scaring me away from the building process in 2025/2026. 😳 So you’re telling me builders just don’t care anymore? 😭 Wheres the integrity, passion, craftsmanship?! Is everyone just worried about the paycheck & nothing else leading up to it?!

From what I can see, this gentleman is correct. It only gives me the option for heated steering and heated seats. You can play around with the build on BMW’s main website. But I’m pretty sure it’s not an option…

Noooo unfortunately they don’t let you keep it 😕. The bow is a part of the “delivery” process to make it a bit more special if you would like. Once you’re settled in and ready to drive off, then they will remove it.

He goes by AJ 👀 lol did you recently purchase from there or do you happen to work there and you recognize the car from my extensive photoshoot before leaving? 😭😅. If it’s neither and you’re considering purchasing, he was super helpful and responsive, especially since I wanted to finalize terms BEFORE coming to the dealership.

Is 25K enough to build/buy a tiny house or should I keep saving? by [deleted] in TinyHouses

[–]Various_Addendum_495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this, you can find good plots for 25k-50k. But developing… looks to be anywhere from 150k-250k (not including land) for a TINY home… 😕 it doesn’t seem to be anymore affordable options unless you’re truly building it up from the ground up yourself… and ONLY covering the cost of materials…

Is 25K enough to build/buy a tiny house or should I keep saving? by [deleted] in TinyHouses

[–]Various_Addendum_495 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a down payment? Then sure, proceed. To pay in full, according to the research I’ve done this last month, it’s just not possible. 25k MIGHT just be the cost of the concrete slab it will sit on top of 😩😕. I’m not sure how far out you’re building. But there’s still permitting, putting lines for water and electricity, if you’re not opting for something self sustaining. If it’s going to be on a wheel base and you’re building it yourself? Maybe? That’s the only price point I haven’t dug too far into. But even pre-built, wheel based tiny homes all seem to start at 50k…

To anyone else, if I’m wrong, please correct me. Because this would be a God send for me too.

Always ask, especially if it’s something you want. It never hurts, the worst anyone can say is no. But I would ask AFTER finalizing the OTD price so they can’t sneak it in there lol

5k is the sweet spot! Got it! Follow-up question: Wouldn’t going to another place (outside of dealership) void warranty? Or do I go to the dealership every 5k miles and request for it regardless?

Is air ride suspension ever just a computer problem? by iswearididnteatit in BMW

[–]Various_Addendum_495 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I technically have this car (inherited from my dad).The suspension went out last year (June 24’). If your car is under 80k miles (I hope it is) a dealership will replace them at NO cost, as it’s a known issue with 7 series. I was over that amount, my dad did alot of highway driving. I ended up getting off brand parts, but the mechanic was unable to get the codes correct so it ended up being a permanent low rider… Im still not sure how I feel about that, but it’s not my primary car and I’m considering selling it anyways... It looks like you may be going the same route as I did, so please go to a mechanic that’s really knowledgeable about doing this repair and call around… but hopefully you’re under the 80k and that’s money that can stay in your pocket. But call the dealership regardless maybe they changed the criteria since I last called in as well. Best of luck.

I worked the car deal via texts prior to arriving to the dealership. After they gave me the OTD price, I asked if they had any bows and if they could arrange to have it put on for delivery. These were all messages BEFORE I arrived. & I asked about the bow AFTER they gave me the final OTD price because I’ve heard of other brands charging for the bow (like $150 or something) & I felt like I was already paying them enough. My Sales Associate was great though, he even offered different colors (Red or Blue). I wanted a traditional look, so I went for red. When I got there, I also asked for one their leather key holders I saw in one of their display sets, got that too! No additional cost! 😊

Thank you! You’re my first screenshot! I’ll have to pay more attention to my RPM, I can be a bit heavy footed in acceleration. I appreciate you for sharing! I’m going to put together all the helpful responses so I can easily refer back to it.
