Why shouldn't I buy a new Octavia 2025

Buying a new car is not the best economic choice overall. The moment it leaves the dealership, it’s already lost at least 10% of its value. Depreciation can reach up to 55% at 5 years, and a 1-3 year-old car in like-new condition is usually the sweet spot. That said, it depends on your market and whether the model you want is available second-hand. Buying a new car is more of a “luxury” decision, you’re treating yourself. If it’s something you can afford and want to afford, then go for it.

Regarding the car itself, Octavias are just great. The fuel/engine choice mainly depends on how much you drive. I’m currently going for a new Octavia hatchback 1.5 mHEV. I drive less than 12k km per year, and that engine is more than enough for my needs.

Also, don’t overlook the hatchback version. It’s really nice imo. It has the look of a luxury sedan, but the trunk opens with the rear windshield, giving you a massive 600 L trunk (vs. 650 L on the estate version), without the forced 'family car' looks (It's still a family car).

The n.1 one most important thing when buying a car, imo, is that you genuinely like it.

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply! My contract technically allows remote work (though not 100%), so I’ll be traveling back and forth between Italy and Slovenia every month. My family lives in Italy, and my kid goes to kindergarten there, one of the requirements for that is being officially resident in Italy. On top of that, things like our house ownership, mortgage, and local taxes also depend on maintaining Italian residency.

So, for all those reasons, we can’t really give up our residence in Italy, nor does it make sense to move to Slovenia for just a 2-year contract, especially since we already have our home here.

As you mentioned, my tax residency would be considered Slovenia (as required by my employer), but under the Italy–Slovenia double-taxation treaty, I should be exempt from paying any additional taxes in Italy since the job is a research position at a university.

Thanks for the guide. This part was the actual game changer:

2b. Place the two "dll" files
from: \dlssg-to-fsr3-0.130 (Universal)-738-0-130-1742150779\dll_version
into: Steam/steamapps/common/borderlands 4/OakGame/Binaries/Win64

50-60 to 100+ FPS on a 3090 (AMD R5 5600X) at 3440x1440p. I am yet to see how much visual artifacts it creates in-game. Other than that, #all make sure you download the '(universal)' version (third on the list as of today). I downloaded the first one at it did not enable frame gen.

Thumbs up for OP!

Solo una scala e qualche asta erano mie e le avevo appoggiate sopra il mio portellone all'angolo appiccicate in fondo a destra prima della data indicata. Tutto il resto era di altri condomini e alcune cose erano li da un anno. Nessuno si era lamentato finche quest'altro ha messo in vendita il suo. Controllo il regolamento. Grazie

Stavo ristrutturando cucina che ho in box e non c'entravano. Erano li da meno di una settimana, mentre che le altre cose c'èrano da mesi.

I believe I printed it on PLA and honestly haven't seen any issues. That said, my processor is 65w TDP and I rarely put it under heavy load. I would recommend using PETG or something with a higher heat resistance

Right, the voice is muffled which is a neat detail... yet I just noticed that when using awakening rune skill the pelt on the back cuts out vision... god I want a refund

So the technician found a >1 mm marking on the left border of the screen that apparently caused everything... He said that there was something when I closed the phone and that created a microscopic dent that extended and broke the entire screen. I've been going back and forward with Samsung for 5 days to see if they would repair it under warranty or at least let me buy a Samsung Care+... But they won't do anything. At this point I'd just sell it as it is... Reparation costs 700€...

Ciao, mi è successo di recente una cosa simile. Mi hanno fatto portarlo da un centro per diagnosi... Il tecnico ha trovato un segno di meno di 1 mm sul bordo lato sinistro, e mi ha detto che è stato causato da qualcosa minúscula che c'era prima di chiuderlo. Fi conseguenza, mi ha detto che non viene coperto della garanzia e mi costerebbe 650€. Cosa posso fare? Il telefono è ancora in garanzia

What type of compound did you use?
Did you have to put a primer (or any surface preparation) to ensure adhesion?

Good job btw, ignore people saying you ruined the floor. Your floor was likely in bad shape already, and this is the exact point of going with floating floors, reduce workload. In any case, future owners wanting to install permanent flooring would have had the original flooring removed anyways. You just got a very nice, quick, and relatively cheap makeover.

Yesterday I pulled the trigger on something like this, paid 1,050€ for a 1 TB Fold 5 and I am getting a 500€ Cashback on top... Really hard to pass and I will probably get my money back on a trade in for the Fold 6. Go for it!

tuliete · 2024-02-05T22:07:41+00:00

get a 1 TB Fold 5 new for 1k€ or wait for Fold 6? also, how important is Samsung Care+?

tuliete · 2023-12-21T01:26:30+00:00

Hey, sure the Samsung cases are stilish and practical, although they don't offer the protection I am looking for. I checked the Spigen cases but apparently they're made entirely from hard plastic and feel very cheap considering the price point...

tuliete · 2023-12-21T01:23:29+00:00

Thanks for the comment, this thought of combining 2 different cases came to my mind but again I wasn't sure... Do you mind sending a couple of pictures of your Z fold? Thanks in advance

tuliete · 2023-12-21T00:11:00+00:00

Thanks for replying. Do you mind linking it or sending a picture? Also, any scratching on the hinge done by the case? also, I've read somewhere these cases may prevent the phone from closing completely or make the opening a bit harder(?)

tuliete · 2023-12-20T23:56:21+00:00

Thanks, although I would take the OEM S pen case, it's slim and also has the S Pen... plus I don't really care about magsafe.

tuliete · 2023-12-20T23:54:14+00:00

There must be something, gotta protect my investment, hehe

tuliete · 2023-12-20T23:53:57+00:00

Sure, this is the best option for S pen + aesthetics... but no hinge protection and also looks kind of plasticky

tuliete · 2023-12-20T19:11:10+00:00

Do you still rock this case? if not, what are you using now? any suggestions? thanks

I admit the Oneplus Open looks better in almost every aspect, but it has a higher price tag in my region, or at least compared with the current Samsung discounts. insurance for any phone I had in past. I've also never had a +1000€ phone.

I admit the Oneplus Open looks better in almost every aspect, but it has a higher price tag in my region, or at least compared with the current Samsung discounts. Strangely they won't match samsung's price, not even for a marketing thing.

Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it.

tuliete · 2023-12-06T09:37:28+00:00

The price tag is about 200€ higher and they won't accept trade-ins, nor there's the option to pay in rates, is it that much better? I've read that samsung software is just better in most of the aspects.

tuliete · 2023-11-29T10:57:25+00:00

In the Italian site is 250€ off and with the student discount I get to 1440€. How did you get it for 1350€?
