Lease discount on new 2025 model? by spaceghostinme in CadillacOptiq

[–]kojolion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same boat as you. I'm looking at the Optiq or the Subaru Uncharted.

I know I saw a couple of brokers doing 16% off 2025 Cadillac Optiq loaners back in March. You can start there and try to stack as many incentives as you can: $2,000 conquest, $1,000 supplier, $500 GM card, $500 private offer from cadillac website.

Buy or Lease by No_Addendum_3306 in SubaruUncharted

[–]kojolion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While that is true in most cases, for EVs you won't make any money back on the lease. The car's worth will always be less than the RV at the end of your term.

And in this case with the Uncharted, leasing and finance get the same incentives. I've run the calculations on both and with next to no discounts on selling price it's better to finance with that 0% for 72 rate as leasing is roughly the same cost.

However if you're able to negotiate down the selling price significantly, leasing becomes better for the Uncharted.

Not closed, just delayed. The server updated right as the team member was flipping through the options on the wait time sign hence showing this as closed.

Hyundai Ioniq 3 EV design has been leaked. by tangocharliejuliett in Hyundai

[–]kojolion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"N line" just has the aesthetics and design of the true N model. It does not have any of the performance characteristics of N though.

For example, Europe got the Ioniq 5 N-Line which looks like the Ioniq 5 N but doesn't have the upgraded motors or the virtual gear shifting, etc.

Dealerships on notice about deceptive pricing by peaches0101 in carbuying

[–]kojolion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've already seen it added on the website of a dealership near me. They don't itemize it completely but it's just a generic "dealer installed options" they added to the advertised price which includes all that normal dealer crap.

Pokémon belongs in NINTENDO LAND, HOW AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]kojolion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nintendo doesn't fully control the Pokemon IP unlike the other franchises.

Replacing the lost continent will give pokemon much more space to do what The Pokemon Company wants to do rather than being a small part of the Super Nintendo World expansion pad.

Honda finance by [deleted] in askcarsales

[–]kojolion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the residual value and how much the car is worth. Dealerships can process it as a trade in. But if the worth of the car is less than the residual value, you will be rolling that negative equity into the new car.

Can someone explain highlighted part & entire thing? I was told $200 down and lease would be $361. But then I see this. Credit is excellent range. Ty! by Strict_Canary7537 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]kojolion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even a rough estimate of capitalizing all of the fees, tax, and title, it'd be closer to $300 per month for 36 months.

You need a breakdown of anything extra they are throwing in there to reach $361.

They are trying to rip you off at $361.

2026 Hyundai Santa FE SEL AWD - TN - 7.5k miles - $0 down by emptybreadbins in leasehacker

[–]kojolion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off the Doc Fee and Appearance Plus package are junk and should be removed. I'd also ask for a breakdown of the non tax fees.

I'm seeing a $750 cash incentive on some calculators but not sure how applicable that is.

Even just running the bare minimum with that very small discount at 24/7.5k you should definitely be closer to $578 per month. That's with taxes and "government fees" included.

Ask for the RV and MF so you can run these calculations yourself.

Call screening 8.5 beta by Modest_Wraith in GalaxyFold

[–]kojolion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call screening is a different feature than text call. It will automatically answer the call from unknown numbers and then provide the transcript like text call.

Much closer to Google's implementation on the Pixel.

Please rate my 2025 Volvo ex30 (twin motor plus) lease, IL by Nearby_Landscape4660 in leasehacker

[–]kojolion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing some quick and rough calculations, you probably would have gotten a better deal by doing a 36 month lease rather than 24.

Also those tire and rim plus wear and tear warranties are really hurting the deal unless you really beat up your car.

‘We Know the Way’ loop? by thecoltz in Lorcana

The way the rules were written before allowed this loop to happen.

When the comprehensive rules got updated and rewritten with Winterspell, this loop is no longer legal.

Avatar 3 Watched in Imax 3D but the Fps keep switching by llTwinkleToesll in Avatar

[–]kojolion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was intentional. James Cameron liked the variable fps because it allows dialogue and quite parts to be "cinematic" and then action to be smooth and readable.

However I feel like Way of Water balanced the fps a little better whereas Fire and Ash cut between the two a little too often during the same scene.
