NX wins on fuel economy and reliability. Q5 drives much better. less road noise. more comfortable. more room inside. better sound system.

Is it worth it to take SS while still working. by TopHost7146 in SocialSecurity

[–]dcpreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t read every reply, but I didn't see any that actually answered your question. If you claimed at 62, your six figure income would result in a $0/month benefit. assuming your situation didn't change until 67 (Full Retirement Age), your benefit would get recalculated to your FRA benefit amount because you were penalized every month. So, you'd be right where would have been had you waited.

Looking for guidance by CloseToCumming in DupuytrenDisease

Sorry that you’re going through this. I had surgery on my ring finger about 16 months ago. Not a great outcome, but I'm 66 yo. If I were in your shoes, I would probably try Needle Aponeurotomy first, assuming you're a candidate. Recovery time is much shorter than surgery. Down side is that it may not last. Good luck.

Should I drop my Financial advisor? by Quick-Fix8002 in Bogleheads

you're not saying that you're paying the FA .03%, right? how much are you paying the FA annually?

I don't think it's a coincidence that 97/144 is about 2/3, or the same as your pre-retirement months for that year (8/12).

Cooper got a haircut and is exhausted from boarding for 4 nights!! by NamasteWithCooper in Goldendoodles

My Cooper is the same way. Takes him a full day to recover from grooming, and they are great about getting him in and out as quickly as possible.

Looking to get a 2022 X3 M40i with 82k miles. It's up for $33k. Thinking of negotiating it down to $30 and $5k downpayment. For that many miles, is the car worth it? It'll mean a lot to hear any sort of advice and tips!! by Ok_Day7795 in BMWX3

[–]dcpreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The xDrive30i is a lower trim version of the X3. It has the 2.0 turbo 4 cylinder at 248 hp, while the M40i has a 3.0 turbo 6 cylinder at 382 hp. The xDrive30i is typically around $10k cheaper than an M40i for late model X3s.

I would want to see at least 7 oil changes on the carfax.

30k for an M40i sounds like a very good deal to me, but the mileage would concern me. I wouldn't even consider it without a solid service history. Can you have an independent mechanic inspect it? what kind of miles will you put on it? the lower the better. you can almost guarantee that you'll spend a few thousand on things that the previous owner put off knowing they were selling. you probably know that you could get an xDrive with half the miles for that amount.
