I drove the Mustang Mach-E today, which was really nice, and I think I'd be happy with it, but I keep thinking about the e-tron.

Personally, I wouldn’t buy a used one. With barely 200 miles of range, I think the resale will continue to fall like a rock. Lease deals seem to be decent and would be the way I’d go. Audi has their own incentives on top of the federal tax incentives.

Only $7500 on the Sportback, though.

I put in a request to two brokers, so we'll see where it goes. Two questions for people here that may know:
For the Costco deal: I assume I can't just join Costco today and be eligible for the Audi Costco rebate?
Regarding MSDs: NY doesn't allow them, but can you lease from a dealer in a different state in order to benefit from the MSDs?
Lots of learning to do with leasing...

I had a 7+ for a very long time, finally upgraded to a 12 pro max. The 7+ battery was shot and it was getting a little slow.
I’ll probably not wait that long again.

I got the blue as well with a nice Spigen clear case. It looks sharp. The one thing I love about the 12 is they went back to the thicker sides like the old phones.

I can get $200 trade in for it. But, a new iPhone 12 is going to cost me over a grand for what I want. So, figure around $1,000 for a new iPhone 12 when the fees, taxes, etc are figured in.
Hell, I didn’t pay that much for my new dishwasher.

My wife also has an 8, which is now 2.5 years old. They have to seriously start screwing up, before we shop for new ones.

Any time I’m tempted I look at this and change my mind.

i have 8; wife upgrade to 12 with lots of memory--128?
i13 phone my be completely 'unplugged' with no ports-- that is one of rumors so wireless charging, etc will become necessary if that rumor is correct

Makes calls and texts. No pictures. It can supposedly get on the internet but I never bothered to try that. It’s all I need. $6 a month for minutes that I never use.
We were at lunch the other day and it was funny seeing all these old guys in their 70s tapping at their smart phones like a bunch of teens.

And since we are talking about phones.. the work phone is Verizon and personal AT&T virtually the same service and speed wherever we go

We switched from Verizon to Xfinity (Comcast) last year when we got the new phones. They run on the same (VZ) network, so we noticed no difference, but the price dropped significantly.

Same with New Hampshire and MA I think. It would never pass inspection. People in those states have developed some interesting hack repairs to get them to pass. Spray in foam and Bondo so you don’t need to weld.
I’m employing some of them to gradually rehabilitate my hooptie. So far my repairs are pretty low class but maybe I’ll get better over time. Really doesn’t matter on an old junker like that. I can afford to be a little sloppy. NY only cares about the frame.

Also spent a lot of time wasting on YoutTube watching videos from various money professionals ("how much do you need to retire", "tax strategies", "best places to retire", etc.). There might be more of those than dudes in Kansas working on hoopties! So based on all that, I can either retire tomorrow, or have to work until I am 80, depending on the lifestyle I want to live! Right now, we are trying to hold out for 65 to get Medicare at least. Subject to going earlier if one of us really has enough of corporate America. Maybe find an alternative source of income that is more enjoyable, like doing auto transports!
6 years either sounds like hardly any time at all, or an eternity. I just can't decide which...

Different strokes. . .
I sent my son down there with $20 (in 2012), and was very happy. Until we had to switch to AT&T (see above).
Basically, just like that LG, except folding. There are some things that are handy with a smartphone (NAV, Yelp, etc). But, I don't use it for Twitter or FB (iPad at home for that). I don't really need entertainment to kill time on a phone.

Oh well. One of these days I'm going to scrape that Lyft sticker off my windshield....
Off the cuff, it seems like a good deal, as it's below the 1% MSRP rule. If you look on Leasetrader, most of them are $1K+ per month. It could be better if I didn't live in New York, and had Costco, but it is what it is. Decisions, decisions...

So, only out of pocket is first payment and MSD monies? All other taxes and fees are rolled in?

Lots of good videos on calculating $ needed to for annual payments, stuff like that. And techniques for withdrawals to minimize taxes. Pretty cool stuff.

I worked for a telecom company for some time, and got used to updating my phone every year or two (once subsidized by the employer, but that died off no doubt in the name of well-deserved executive bonuses designed to attract and retain "talent"). Lately it takes at least a couple years for a new phone to be a significant upgrade so one doesn't need to upgrade annually, and smartphones are a part of life for millions who use them as a small computer. I have a Note20 Ultra now, which is fantastic in everything save for the camera, which appears to have a few design flaws - I don't think the brainiac engineers who develop this stuff test it in real world situations.
