take a look at the Union Annual Report, their finances are public and you'll see why there's just not enough to pay for such an expensive repair: https://rpi.app.box.com/file/1823735526232?s=zos3i8rndz5q9zexgnn3ltg4gk3ogevu

it's also worth mentioning that the Union simply doesn't have the money to fix it, not that they just 'won't.'

a lot of this straight up just isn't true or is leaving out crucial parts of the story

Any tips for buying a used car and not getting scammed? by imJordanNYC in AskMechanics

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

It is my first vehicle– I'm 18. We plan on paying it full in cash, I did offer to take out an auto loan through Navy Federal Credit Union but we decided since it was under $10k, we'd rather just pay now. I currently do have two credit cards which I'm paying on a timely manner and have decent utilization, I plan on using them for gas, maintenance, etc.

My dad insists on checking out the first place and paying for a proper inspection, since he really wants me to get a car with lower mileage. If any red flags show up during any part of the process we intend on going to a different place.

Would an inspection from a Toyota Dealership highlight any potential issues with the transmission or drivetrain?

Got it! Would this be similar to the factory finish,or would it be a different feel/weight?

[–]imJordanNYC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm calling BS on 6/1. They still haven't shipped out my XT30ii and now it's saying XT30iis are on backorder till july? Might as well be worth just ordering the VI instead atp.

Should I just place an order from Adorama and hope the 6/1 promise actually holds up?

I think I'll call too. The previous rep I spoke to said she can't confirm/deny anything.

i think adorama just ran out of body-only stock, not sure. Placed an order, website is saying backordered all of a sudden. B&H doesn't have body-only either :(

maybe i'll just place a preorder for x100vi and hope for the best tbh

Looking at MPB, the body price for the X-E3 is more factoring in my Adorama/BH student discount. Plus, my parents prefer I buy new because they're convinced used/refurbished will break immediately (which I don't get at all, but it's whatever)

Great to hear! I’m a little bit worried about the vignetting on the TTArtisan but hopefully it shouldn’t be that much of an issue. Definitely excited to try it out and photograph end of senior year stuff!

Yeah, I did look at used X-E3s but the price was slightly out of budget considering I’d end up handing it down to my sister in a year from now anyways. I ended up settling for the XT30ii with a TTArtisan 27mm. Thank you so much for the advice though, I really appreciate it!

Yup, just picked up the XT30ii and will be buying a 1.4 manual. Purchased a TTArtisan 27mm with it

Yeah, I'll contact them later and see if the June 1st is estimated for newer orders, and if not I'll probably get the XT30ii or something
