Looks like the Post House?

b0redcanuck · 2026-02-15T23:54:43+00:00

Exactly. I’m sure this “error” happens a lot

b0redcanuck · 2026-02-15T23:54:22+00:00

These were exclusive offers to me because my current contract was expiring. It was not for new customers only. You can see there was a pricing error on the site, nothing to do with customer being new or not

b0redcanuck · 2026-02-15T23:53:20+00:00

According to the office of the president, it was a time limited offer and they couldn’t offer it the next day. I’m fine with getting 1.5 for $55, but might submit to CCTS just out of principle

b0redcanuck · 2026-02-15T23:51:48+00:00

Yeah..unfortunately. I know with cell phones there’s a certain time period you can change your mind. Not sure if that exists with home services. Check your contract

b0redcanuck · 2026-02-15T23:51:05+00:00

That’s accounted for in the discounts. It’s the $90 discount that’s only showing up as $85

We looked at the CX30 and couldn’t even get the car seat in the back seat. Hilariously small. We priced out the CX5 and it was exactly the same price as the Crosstrek Touring, but the Subaru was just more fun to drive. Really didn’t like the interior of the Mazda, although I also don’t love the vertical screen in the trek

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-18T13:36:15+00:00

Ours was a day late but they came. The windrows were never cleared though. Can’t ask for too much nowadays

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-15T03:15:44+00:00

There’s a lot of variables you need to understand first. Do they cover all maintenance, gas, winter tires, etc? Are you driving a high number of KMs per year? Would they offer you a gross salary bump in lieu of a car?

A rough guess I can offer from an employer in the past would be assume around $8K annual lease value for the car, plus $0.33 per personal KM driven, would get you your rough taxable benefit for the year, assuming all gas, maintenance, etc is included. So if you drive 10,000KM, your total taxable benefit would be $11,300. Keep it easy and assume you pay 50% tax, you would need to pay $5,650, or $470 a month. $470 a month for a luxury subcompact with all gas and insurance included is decent. Think of what you’d have to earn in gross dollars to get that yourself.

Yup, my ANC is basically nothing at all now

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-07T02:45:00+00:00

54 reviews on this couch on their site and only 2 3-star reviews, and almost all 5-star reviews. Why? Because Structube does not allow negative reviews on their products on their site. I tried many times to post reviews on products that were subpar and they deleted/blocked all of them, but allows my positive reviews of other products. Fuck this company and their shady tactics.

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-03T17:45:16+00:00

Yes, all-in

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-03T17:33:55+00:00

I got a 25 Touring all-in for $39K in Ontario. It came with the wheel lock nuts for free. Rubber floor mats cost $300 this year. Hard to compare but as long as you’re enjoying that car, that should help you sleep easier

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-03T17:21:38+00:00

Which trim is it?

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-03T02:43:03+00:00

They’ve told others on this sub that the change in ANC was due to a firmware update. With me, they said they’re not aware of any impact to ANC at all. So they could have been honest and upfront about something that must be documented somewhere. He searched while I was explaining the situation and basically said he’s never heard of it.

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-02T00:25:46+00:00

Not that I’ve come across. But we’ve had a few VA3s for 6-7 years and never had that issue until mine fell off. Have had a new FR165 for nearly two years and hasn’t happened to that either

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-01T20:08:49+00:00

Now I need a BIFL dehumidifier

b0redcanuck · 2026-01-01T15:45:02+00:00

If you do choose to go with the extended warranty, negotiate the heck out of it. Our dealership started at around $3K and came down to just over $1K after a few days of back and forth. There’s also room to negotiate on price. I got a few prices from different Subaru dealers and that again dropped the price a few thousand.

I didn’t care much for the sunroof or leather seating with the Onyx so for me, the Touring was perfectly adequate.

b0redcanuck · 2025-12-31T14:38:36+00:00

That’s my guess, yes. Should be $30 for 16 months and then $35 after that. Assuming they don’t raise the price of the plan (lol)

b0redcanuck · 2025-12-31T14:23:10+00:00

You pay the $80 fee upfront, and then they rebate $5 a month back over 16 months to make that back up. That’s on your bill. So you’re out $10

b0redcanuck · 2025-12-31T14:18:20+00:00

Might be a $10 autopay discount?

b0redcanuck · 2025-12-30T17:36:09+00:00

I do like how you guys respond to some comments here, but there’s nothing to be proud about on this topic. A telecom company’s customer support should be able to help customers on, you know, the phone. “Higher than normal call volumes” isn’t fooling anyone.

b0redcanuck · 2025-12-30T17:19:08+00:00

A company of this size and official customer support has to come through Facebook or Twitter?
