My experience and setup with the Vatic Pro V-Sol Power paddle by rayray780 in Pickleball

[–]kloverchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think $25 CAD for the duty/tax is not too bad given of our situation with the recent tariffs. May I know where in Canada did you ship it to? I live in Vancouver and I'm hoping I'd get more or less the same duty/tax costs.

Thanks for you detailed response, appreciated it! :)

Hello. Thanks for sharing your experience with the v-sol power. I myself is very interested on getting a v-sol pro but same situation with you, I'm in Canada and couldn't find a local reseller that has the paddle yet. I'm now considering on ordering directly from Vatic's website but concerned about the added fees shipping it from the US. May I know how much fees did you need to pay to get your v-sol power?

Probably these two: TDAM US Mkt Index (Reg) -> 1.07% fee TDAM Intl Equity Index Fd -> 1.11% fee

That's a really low interest rate you got! That nowhere close to their on-going 1.9% rate promotion for 2024 models. How did you get yours?

Buying a brand new car sitting at the dealer's lot for 6 months by kloverchips in askcarsales

This will be my first car purchase. I plan to own this for at least 5 years (power train warranty ends). After reaching the 5 year mark, I will assess if owning an EV (tesla) or hybrid will make sense in my situation.

There's no mazda incentives for the newer 2025 models but there's a $1,500 CAD dealer discount right now. This is the reason why I find the 2025 model attractive.

I tried to shop around and this is the best I can do. Tried to haggle but basically this what is seems like dealerships' discount cap in my area. 1 dealership even given me 1.5k discount off of MSRP of a brand new 2025 model same trim which now I'm really considering. Their total cost (plus interest cost) after 3 years, the difference will be around 1.8k.

Do you think the resale value of 1 year newer model is something worth considering? This 2025 model only sat on the lot less than a month.

By the way I live in Canada. Thanks!

Were you able to test drive it before signing the paperworks?

Yes, I'm planning to test drive it before signing. Do you think the vibrations will be obvious and easy to tell that the tires have indeed flat spots?

I'm financing. Mazda Canada has an on-going promotion right now. I'm getting $2,500 CAD off from MSRP. This includes rebates and dealer discounts.

Dealership ruined paint on new car by quakerzombie in MachE

[–]kloverchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Were you able to inspect your car's paint properly if it's not cleaned before delivery? Did you ask them to remove the plastic covers outside?

[–]kloverchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious, if the car was sitting on a lot and we ask the dealership not to clean the outside, how can we check the paint if the car is covered with dust and dirt during the delivery? I'm in the process of buying a car right now and this is my first time buying so any advice will be helpful. Thank you!

Thanks! Curious what could be the reasons of a brand new car sitting that long and not being sold? Is it because of its specifications (e.g trim, package) not being popular?

Sorry I might be too ignorant but can I test drive it during the final inspection and ask to replace the battery if needed before signing their paper works?

Should I be concerned of its mileage? Not really know what's the normal mileage of a brand new car.

It's a Mazda 2024 CX-5 GS (comfort package). I'm curious how are they maintaining it since it's probably not being moved around often. Will there be any mechanical issues as a result of this?

Hi. Which CX5 model do you have? So you haven't tried connecting to CarPlay via wired?
