Deals/Deal Requests / Re: Ebay- Samsung Galaxy Note10 256GB Unlocked $598.99

« on: February 01, 2020, 10:16:54 PM »

I ordered the note 10+ from this seller for $699. When I received the phone it came in a Samsung looking box, but when I opened it, it looked a bit off. I asked the seller if it's the original packaging and this was his response "The item is purchased in bulk an d packaged in generic bulk packaging however they are new as listed and ready for use.

Thank You"

Would people here keep the phone if your expectations are a brand new phone, or just send it back?

Not worth it to waste your time... I know someone who is an expert at getting great deals on leases on cars.

That is a very general statement to make. People that are good at it are saving themselves thousands of dollars over the course of a lease.

What's the savings? $200?

Every case is different. My brother hacked a deal on an Alfa Romeo and approached a broker to see if he wanted the same deal. The broker planned on charging an extra $50 a month over the price that the dealer is charging. That is a total of $1800!

I just did this, then I went to the local dealer. They started out very high. They are great salesmen and very aggressive. But they couldn't match the leasing companies. They just couldn't put it together.

Leasing companies do not tell you how they get the rates lower. Many times they are using rebates which they somehow find. My dealer couldn't get the same rebates.

To get a good price at a dealer, you need to come very prepared with all your facts before walking in the door.

You always start off by negotiating as much as you can from the sales price, then you apply the incentives and rebates that you are eligible for.
Showing them that you know the residual value and MF will greatly help.
Leasehacker is a good website for learning the ropes of leasing from dealers. https://leasehackr.com/  They also have a very active forum.

Anyone have any comparison between the Explorer and the QX60? If so, how much smaller is the trunk area for cargo?

The 2017 QX60 SUV features 15.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row seat which can be folded down to offer 40.8 cubic feet instead. Thanks to a flexible second row, a QX60 boasts a maximum volume of 76.5 cubic feet.

The Explorer has 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third-row seats, 43.9 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 81.7 cubic feet with both rear rows folded.
