I can see it too, you nerd.

I can also see it

I have ublock turned off on this fair website. Until they put ads in, then it goes back on.

Post by **NTP66** » Tue Dec 13, 2022 9:31 am

It's on by default, but this is something new that uBlock is flagging.

This site is blocked due to content filtering.

I can't see it either so that's it.

I never see the amazon links that you post here.

I've had this one for awhile and it's been good. I've used it several times.

Just an FYI - any of these little jump boxes likely won't work if the battery is completely drained.

Add me to the list of peeps who can't see the link, even with Ublock off.

Post by **faftorial** » Tue Dec 13, 2022 2:57 pm

When I disable uBlock Origin and reload the page I then can see it.

Just go to Amazon and search jump starter

Can't see the link can ya Russ?

Used car prices are finally coming down. I just saw the first used Type-S for under $50k, with half a dozen others going in the same direction (cars.com shows reductions).

Yeah, not all dealers are getting the memo though.

Hearing some crazy stories about folks walking out of one dealer and right into another for the same car and saving $5k-10k. Mainly because the first dealer is still applying a market adjustment to a used car. Morons.

Oh yeah, definitely not universal. I've seen two posts on Reddit this week showing market adjustments that make me want to puke.

"Sellers asking price" makes me laugh. Ask away as I walk away

Ignoring the cost of the cars themselves, I couldn't bring myself to get an auto loan at the current rates. 4.49% for a new/used car from my CU, which has historically had the lowest rates outside of Honda's crazy 0.9% financing (which is now a thing of the past).

Post by **count2infinity** » Wed Dec 14, 2022 12:34 pm

I got a 2.99% in September from a local CU. That was the best I could find.

Post by **DigitalGypsy66** » Wed Dec 14, 2022 12:38 pm

Honda is doing as low as 1.9, but for 48 months. Go to 60, and it's 2.9-4.9, depending on the car.

We have a .9 on the Pilot and a 1.9 on the '22 Accord we bought about a year ago. Whew.

That second sticker is a Mercedes? Yikes.

Post by **NTP66** » Wed Dec 14, 2022 1:09 pm

Acura is 2.9%, but it's severely limited. There are no special rates like that for a Type-S.

Post by **NTP66** » Wed Dec 14, 2022 1:11 pm

$1k Acura loyalty discount... for owners of 2012 Acuras and newer.

dodint, I've had my 07 since day 1, throw another few grand at that offer for people like me.
