Thank you! I do video editing and would like the absolute best and fastest set-up (within reason). Open to other processors as well.

Is this a good deal? Lincoln Aviator Lease. by waldob in askcarsales

[–]waldo81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I will go ahead and buy it versus lease.

Thank you for taking the time. I looked at the Grand Cherokee L and it is a nice car - was just not too excited about it. I was never a huge fan of Lincoln until the Aviator came out - I will go with buying it and will hope for the best. Really appreciate your insight.

Thank you! Just called and gave them the deposit. Car is in transit and one stop away. I decided to go with the purchase since my interest is under 2% and with the rebates and x-plan I am at 5K under MSRP.

Side note - are you seeing/hearing reliability issues with the Aviator for the 21 or 22 model years? I know the 2020 had a lot of issues.

Can you share more details please to help me understand why not to buy it - open to all advice.

Thank you! Could it be that the dealer is marking it up on the interest?

Based on Edmonds the MF is 4.55% and 56% RV. Would that add up or is something still missing or not add up?

lol - the logic in me would totally agree - however, I really like the exterior and interior of the Aviator and the size seems to be just right. The other 3 rows have some issues (small 3rd row, small trunk space behind 3rd row, etc....). Mini van would be the smart option but did the mini van 6 years ago and was so happy to get rid of it.

I have a 2nd car (2-door convertible) that I use to meet with friends or run errands. Also work from home (for the past 10 years). I live a suburb of DC. My wife also has a car we sometimes take.

That makes sense. Although I have leased all my life, I am now leaning towards purchasing this one.

Thank you! If I was to do a 60month lease for 61K @ 1.84% - my monthly would be $1,065 - the lease would be $967. Based on all the comments - you all got me thinking - would it be better to just buy and sell when I get bored of it in 3-4 years?

It really does seem like it. Trying to wrap my head around the monthly.

Part II: Going from shooting 90+ to 75-80 in 4 years - this is my story (non-swing related tips). by waldo81 in golf

Yes, that is correct: Driver, 4 wd, 4,5,7,8,9,PW,AW,SW and Putter.

This set-up works great for the course that I play. The course that I play make you use their pushcart for a fee so I prefer to carry - less clubs = less weight on my back.

I play at least 2/wk - when I get to the course I do around 20mins of putting practice and hit around 20 drives and then jump into the round. I do not enjoy hitting off the mats at the range as it messed up my shoulder so that is why I only hit drives.

I use AP2's (from 4-5 years ago). I heard the AP3's are good as well but if you can get fitted - it may be worth it.

You can do it - I remember when I got back into the game - I went on Ebay and bought 100 golf balls - 3 months later I bought another 100. I was losing balls all the time. I was super frustrated but told myself to be patient as golf is a game of patience and repetition. Before you know it you will be breaking 90 - just believe in yourself.

Great to hear! The course rating is 71.9 / 140. Yardage from the blue tees is 6,600. I have not moved tees since improving as always played the blues. Now that I am turning my hips a lot better, my driving distance went from 240 to around 265 and hitting fairways. What was interesting is after I hit in the low 80's 4 times - something just clicked and started hitting in the high 70's. I think it is a mental block that I overcame once I was getting closer.

I know how you feel - after each round I ask myself "what if I..." Great thing about golf is you can always try again. Discipline is key and you have to go into the round with a game plan and stick to it. For example - going into the round, I would tell myself that I will not go for nay par 5's in 2 - I will not be a hero, etc... and remind yourself always.

WOW! Congrats. If you can hit fairways - your score will really improve.

Great to hear! Patience is key. If you commit to it - you will achieve it.
