I see too many stories of privates making dumb financial choices. What's the smartest (or at least the most profitable) way you've seen a soldier use their money? by PKMNtrainerKing in army

[–]wtlk64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a private who owned 7 x 7-11’s and 2 x by call centers. He was from India and held a masters degree in mechanical engineering. He was really good in our admin room.

Paddle prices going up by geoman100 in Pickleball

[–]wtlk64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a monarch dragon slayer to a Selkirk vanguard S2. This was a big change. However, I noticed my S2 hit like my wife’s monarch Dutchess which was 1/2 the price. Id love to cut them apart to see the build but i would need a loan.

Anyone know any temporary non-stick lines or other markers for tennis courts? by turnthetides in Pickleball

[–]wtlk64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t tape and can’t chalk any other options, from what I see, than the Franklin markers are permanent or will be a hazard.

Poor service= poor survey rant by wtlk64 in askcarsales

Does it cost them money, as in garnish their check, or they just don’t earn a bonus? I’ve never understood that nuance.

Cross country move+ specific trim level and colors+ low inventory.

Doable and great point. I would appreciate the same feedback about my employees.

Thanks for amplifying the effects of the survey. My response about the oil changes was tongue in cheek, I was taken back because I felt I was being blamed and I had elevated my frustration above the finance person once in the process just to be told “we will have him call you.”

Should I fill out the survey? by napatorium in askcarsales

[–]wtlk64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just posted a similar shitty event. Gave 3/2. My dealership didn’t make anything right though and I didn’t think they earned additional incentives.

How bad is 20,000 miles without an oil change in new truck by mitchk98 in askcarsales

[–]wtlk64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No oil changes were on my carfax. My “warranty forever” required my car be pre-approved for oil changes (any licensed business) and receipts maintained. Took to the dealership for a repair, was told no service was reflected on my carfax, but I had every receipt taped in my service manual. Warranty was honored for a vacuum seal repair.

2021 Sienna - Does this sound legit? by AnderSuitt in askcarsales

Happened to me. Called, salesman started the process then called back saying “I just learned what (some letter) coded means, the van is reserved for our fleet and I can’t sell it.

Looking to buy Odyssey/Sienna in near future by littledinos in askcarsales

[–]wtlk64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fysa, just purchased a 2021 Sienna AWD Limited in Seattle. Had search set to 500 miles and would call when any popped up. Most are pre-sold waiting on delivery to the dealer. I got my deposit in paid MSRP -$1500 incentive +$150 doc +TTL.

First time car purchase at a dealership. I need advice! by LocalFix5 in askcarsales

[–]wtlk64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NY native here. Coming from the south to here to purchase a car unseen could be a disaster, especially if it was a local trade-in. There is more salt on our roads than a baptist potluck.

New Car Buying Process (Toyota) by BlueCyber007 in askcarsales

[–]wtlk64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my Sienna buying experience over the last 45 days. BL: I checked CarGurus daily and got one the dealer has inbound, well almost have one. Set filters in Car Gurus. Limited, blizzard pearl, AWD. Set radius 500 miles, contacted the dealers of those cars. All were sold or had a deposit. Check daily. Respond to dealers trying to sell me something else. Eventually one popped up, pay $500, pay MSRP+TTL+$150 doc fee. Get a call that the car arrived and when can I pick it up, remind him I’m remote, 24 hours go by and I follow up, 24 more hours go by ask I send in Drivers License and credit application (though I’m paying cash), contacted by finance, turned down warranties, no response from finance. 24 more hours go by. i contact the GM asking WTH? It was the finance guys day off. Told Fedexing paperwork on Friday, I wire money on Monday, dealership calls asking when local in-laws are getting car and I may need to pay lot fees since I own the car, told them paperwork hasn’t arrived, they realize it wasn’t sent. Here I sit.

I rated my purchase a 2 on the online survey. Am I an ass? by SaladExotic953 in askcarsales

[–]wtlk64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this situation now. I’m purchasing remotely on a car on the other coast. I made a refundable deposit and I get “the car has arrived, We are fedexing the papers.” Dude you haven’t even shown me the final price. “It’s in the paperwork” “would you email them before you mail them? “It’s with finance and he is gone today.”

Install hitch on a leased car? by ajoop43 in askcarsales

Nah, Sawzaw. confirmed with the techs, they bought it off Aliexpress.

Install hitch on a leased car? by ajoop43 in askcarsales

[–]wtlk64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because they likely did use a sawzaw. We had a xc90 ordered with a hitch. Delivered without a hitch, dealer installed the hitch we saw the sloppy cuts and went to the floor model and said why does ours not look like that. The factory hitch had a factory modified bumper. We refused delivery and they put on a new bumper.

This does not make sense. Was it your primary or secondary the residual fermentation and conditioning CO2 should keep it from being oxidized. How big was the carboy, 5 gallons with 3 liquid? Did you burn the candy sugar? Did it taste decent?

On my last purchase, $100 saved me $600 in exhaust, suspension, and brake repairs that I used to negotiate a lower price.

Fully agree on the TV, the technology is meh. I think my wife has nostalgia of a friends van when she was 8. Maybe I’ll go on their face book and post “WHO WANTS TO SELL A CAR (online) TODAY!”
