    Wiki Superchargers Visited

    Thank you for your detailed narrative on how you lost power. Sometimes I take chances but in my case, I know the locations. Because of your experience, I will make sure I have plenty % miles left to the supercharger when I do not know the territory. Thanks again.

    What is best financing rate now?

    If you are certain that you will invest the $350 difference, by all means get the lower payment. You can open an account at a discount brokerage firm and put in the 350 monthly.

    What is best financing rate now?

    Tank you so much N54TT. I stand corrected. As a conservative banker/investor, I know where not to put my money. For my own education I will do more research on the subject to see what the regulatory agency think of the new approach. Thanks again.

    What is best financing rate now?

    Thanks for the direct quote. It makes sense. If you are financially qualified for an unsecured loan, it could probably pass. However, the banking industry is extremely regulated and when the bank inspectors get involved things could get messy. The language you quoted from Lightstream seems to...

    What is best financing rate now?

    The nature of an auto loan is a secured loan. There is a difference for the bank between a personal loan and an auto loan. A personal loan could be unsecured but the proceeds should not be used to buy a property car. If this is done, it is deceitful. I was a banker for 30 years and this bv was...

    What is best financing rate now?

    As long as it is a auto loan, the bank has to be alien holder. The only way to avoid that is to get a personal loan and buying a car with the proceeds that way is deceptive and unethical if not illegal.

    What is best financing rate now?

    Talking about interest rates, I suppose it depends on your credit rating. I am in Florida. My bank, Bank of America just lowered their rates to 2.29% from 2 79 for 48 months. And I just applied with Fairwinds Credit Union on line their rate is 2.00% for 48 months.

    Hi XBS9, I am at the exact same spot you are with the following differences: reservations and configuration made a month later than you. Look at tread # 670. His estimate delivery dates changed when he changed his interior color.

    Ewoodrick, thanks for the info on camp ground. To be accurate, I wasn't the one who made reference from Cape Coral to Panama City. As I mentioned earlier, I was just exploring the possibilities. My Model lll is scheduled to arrive between September 18 and November 18th and I am sure by that...

    Extension cord for use at friend's house.

    Exactly. Coverage in SW Florida seems to be light. To say the least, I will have to charge at a friend's house when one way trip logs in 180 miles. Thus the reason for the AC Works Dryer plug. Of course, whenever possible, I will use the super charger but I don't want to drive 20 to 30 miles...
