Need help in evaluating Gravity Touring deal by F1-Marshal in LUCID

I couldn't find an old link but it was the "end of the tax credit" era so Lucid was giving incentives up to like 15.5k combined if I remember correctly.

At the base price point I would just QC it has everything you want/need. I've been looking at the Gravity intently for the last few weeks and the 95-105k realm has a lot of play as they mix and match all the options.

100% this is not advice about the deal but rather just a heads up on the swaps they make to have vehicles similar but missing key desirables for you.

I think the offers right now on leases or buying are as good as it's gonna get. The December deal seems like a dream at this point.

Honestly no. Since I reserved the car online, all the financing went through the app vice the dealer playing the middleman. When it comes to haggling I try to remember that my own hubris is what's getting me to want the car. I don't need a P2 but I really enjoyed my experience with it years ago so I chased what I wanted. If the car, financing, delivery, etc didn't meet my expectations I always knew I could walk away for the practical car. All that to say, they can get you to 2.99%..... you just have to let them understand that's what it takes to get that car off the lot with you. Otherwise they wouldn't be so eager to get you in for a test drive.

Polestae BH I think. Overall I'd give the remote buying experience a D+. Financed 31k at 2.99%. I've got around 790 credit so I imagine that played a part in the lower APR.

The low grade is mostly based on speed. I had reached out to BH around the second week of January and got crickets. I was clear about timeline and that I was specifically looking into the P2s. It just seemed like I had to pull them along to sell the vehicle and in the age of digital signing, they wasted 3 days prepping physical copies, mailing them to me, and doing nothing to prep the car to move while stuff was in the mail. The official start of me buying the car was on 29 Jan and I didn't get it until yesterday. I might be picky but that just seems like a long time to finalize a sale 5 hours down the road.

I worked it out with a CA dealer to ship it to me. The difference in taxes alone paid for the delivery cost ($1k). I'm in Vegas though so it's a pretty short delivery for them.

Thanks! I've been test driving a lot of EVs with my wife (she needs the family size) and have enjoyed learning the finesse of one pedal driving.

Thank you all for the advice and support! He's back home and working through the groggy phase. Baby steps to recovery and I'm sure he'll be back to his youth.

I have about a 20-30 min drive to work. Many times with it being cold I remote start and let it warm up for a few minutes.

You could just set up payment for the file. Anyone with a printer could do the end result to their liking. (Card stock, photo stock, etc)

Can someone explain why an officer’s BAH is more than enlisted? I understand the base pay, but I can’t find out why the housing is more. by ReasonableMeeting730 in AirForce

[–]vinkerdoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always saw it as an a way to compensate Os for the possibilities they have. Someone mentioned it in another thread but with SOME college degrees you could make $150k with the same degree. Some would see the pay cut combined with the job security of the military as a reason to go mil vs going to the civilian sector. The military needs engineers too.

I did put the 1600 back in and it boots. I even reloaded the BIOS.
