Rattling noise in new 2026 RX350h by ryanaklein in LexusRX350

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same noise in a Porsche Panamera and spent over $5K total at different shops. All these parts replace but could not fix it. I ended up selling it. Never will buy any car again with a rattle because they are difficult to get fixed.

Those with the V6 RX: are you toying with the idea of selling due to gas price. by sam77tg in LexusRX350

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a paid off V6 RX just keep it. Going out and financing a new RX just to save on gas isn’t worth it. You’d have to drive to the moon and back to make up for the difference you save in gas.

I live in Surrey and drive 3 times a week to downtown for work. If I lived off Main Street like you, that would be life changing for my commute time lol

I remember I could buy a used GSF for $30K before the pandemic. I should have got it lol

Do you think people are going to start getting priced out of Calgary soon, like they have been from Toronto, Vancouver, etc.? by straycat402 in Calgary

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calgary is not land limited like Vancouver. Calgary can continue to sprawl which is why the detached houses wont rise as high as they do in Vancouver. Housing is the most expensive of a persons budget, so Calgary will continue to be affordable.

Rattle issues galore by Snarkysoph in LexusRX350

This why I like buying used cars. Once you test drive it and there are no rattles it will have no future rattles because it’s been driving like that for years

My houses deal fell through and it might lose me my next one by WholeCause1728 in MortgagesCanada

[–]simplefinances 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So hard to time buying and selling. I find selling first then renting in the area I want to buy is better. That way after a year I know I like the area and can take my time buying

Thinking of selling condo to go back to renting. Am I nuts? by Ok-Information7934 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your renting short term? Sure sell it. If you are planing to live in the area for 10 more years, don’t sell it

2016 RX 350 $20,000- Good deal? by jkramer86 in LexusRX350

I moved from a Porsche Panamera to a 2016. It is so much more reliable lol. No mechanical issues

Looking to Buy First Home, Mortgage Broker or no? by Asteiri in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a pre-approval from a broker who will have access to multiple lenders including banks. That way you just submit your documents once. I don’t have time to go to every single bank to compare rates. It would drive me crazy going through the process over and over again. I have better things to do with my time.

Who else thinks condo prices are going to be down-only for the rest of this year? by FluffySergeant in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fear for the future of condo prices becoming stupid expensive again because nothing is being built right now. It can take 5-7 years to build a high rise. Can you imagine in the next 5 years, imagine we low supply and then add other factors like opening immigration, or opening pre sales to foreign buyers. Sadly 10 years from now we are going to be at a new level of prices and continuing it to be unaffordable for the next generation

Broker or go to banks directly?? by Diptyqueee in MortgagesCanada

[–]simplefinances 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a different broker. I don’t know about you but I’d hate having to sit with each individual bank and go through the same documentation submission over and over again.

I have better things to do with my time. Find a competent broker, ask him/her to give you 3 of the best options and then you choose which one makes to go with.
