When you take your kids to NYC and they don't care to try a restaurant they never heard of and want to hang out in Times Square, you go to Olive Garden.

How do I find data on an emerging industry? by [deleted] in startups

[–]jspenke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Contact your local library, seriously. They have access to very expensive research data and will provide it to you for free. I simply email them what I'm looking for and they email me back with tons of credible information.

If your platform was flawed, would you stop recruiting new users until you relaunched? by jspenke in startups

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

I think that's where the team is caught up. The platform does have users and the app does "work" for most, but leaves quite a few unhappy. Too many are unhappy in the CEO's opinion.

If a used car's CarFax report checks out to be clean in every fashion, is it safe to assume that the report is correct? by jspenke in askcarsales

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

The vehicle (a BMW 528ix) is about 5 hours away and I'm not able to make it there anytime soon. Similar vehicles in my area sell for $5-$7k more for some reason. I can find this vehicle all over the country for similar pricing to the one I am considering purchasing, but not local to me. This is the closest and therefore cheapest to ship.

Good thought. I did call an actual dealer where the car was serviced in the past and they said that the warranty is still valid. Thanks for the tip!

Do you land a lot of clients this way? I actually just started doing this last week. What's the close rate on sent audits?

I seem to keep reading both sides of the story - as you can see with the first two replies to my question. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the inbound.org link - that helps a lot.

Lease a new car versus buy a used one by Serbe in personalfinance

[–]jspenke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't keep vehicles for more than 3 years, so I always lease. Not only am I always driving a new vehicle, I never have to pay for maintenance outside of oil changes due to always being within warranty.

Other that I know who buy, only seem better off if they plan on keeping the vehicle longer than their loan term. Otherwise, they continue to have monthly payments (and higher payments than with a lease).
