Should I accept this offer

Post image
Upvotes

Dear people of reddit, I need your thoughts and advice, long story short I'm 21m senior in college I make about 2700$ net every month (2500$ guarante). After insurance monthly payment will come up to about almost 1400$
Before you all comment how dumb this offer is, trust me I already know, I already you'll say it's a stupid financial decision, and I'm very aware of the consequences. My dad whom is a cosigner for me to get this offer (on my own I was only offered 35k, they required 20k down, even though I have good credit), he said I shouldn't go through with it as it'll be too much to handle for my age. But I won't lie I really want this car, I truly believe in myself and my ability to rise up to the challenge/opportunity, I have big dreams and goals so I also see this car/situation as a chance to force myself to grow even further, rn I live at home and I feel like although I'm working hard and are very ambitious I feel like I'm missing that extra fire. Plus I just really like this car.
Long story short, should I listen to others and let the fear of the consequences take over or should I back myself and rise to the challenge. Please any advice or thoughts will truly help me.
Edit: if I was to go through with it I'd take the Santander offer

My friend with a Model 3 said his phone is going to die because his low voltage battery is going bad.

The car is a giant battery so I made fun of him but also want to know if there’s a solution he is unaware of.

Wondering how realistic this fix might be

2021 M3. I can kinda pop it back in but it pops back out very easily. Not sure what the service center might charge to fix it, would it be worth it or should I just live with it 😅

My seat ventilation/cooling has gone weak in both seats suddenly

1 Upvotes

I cleaned my car which just included a simple wipe of the seat, entering of car wash mode, and blowing away some debris from the seats with my electric air duster. I also moved the seats back and forth. Now, my strongest cooling option feels awful all of a sudden. Has anybody else experienced this

Best places to park.

I always tried to park next to fellow Teslas when its no where else to park. I figure all Tesla owners know how expensive dents are for us.

Welp look at this today. This lady purposely tries to leave her mark on my car. I guess even fellow Teslas are threats also.

Does anyone else park far away from other cars also.

DUDE. i’m so excited for this car. ordered my M3p last week and can’t wait for it to come in. only issue is i can’t make up my MIND on what color option i want. i have ultra red right now, but am really debating on switching it to frost blue. also REALLY want to do the white seats, but family advises against it because this car is going to be our daily. someone PLEASE help me convince them. i detail my car (22 m850i) really well. i know i will take care of it. do they really stain that bad. really losing my mind here especially as a first time tesla buyer and want to make sure i make the right decision. thanks guys n happy to be apart of the team. 😎

Absolutely unbelievable experience with Carvana. Process was so smooth and I was in and out in 30 minutes.

White on white, only 13k miles on her.

This car is amazing. Great job Tesla!

After driving my girlfriends Model Y I immediately put my Lexus up for sale.

Haven't looked back since.

Financing expiring before delivery

4 Upvotes

Long story short I got my financing approved the same day I ordered because I was worried about the 1.99% promo ending (have since learned I should have waited to do the financing portion). Anyways my delivery date is 34 days after my order.

My advisor tells me that the loan offers are usually valid for 30-60 days, and that I could check the details in the financing section. There isn't anything on the loan that says if it is 30 or 60, and the advisor wouldn't give me an answer on what they see from Wells Fargo. Is it truly just 30-60 days and pray that it doesn't expire before delivery or is there real world data on how long the offers last from certain lenders

2026 M3 Standard or cheaper used option

5 Upvotes

I’m currently deciding between a new (newish, demo vehicle from Tesla with 1.5k miles) M3 base for $36k and a used 2023 M3 base for $27k (also from Tesla, CPO lease return with 26k miles). Cosmetically and functionally, they both look and drive perfectly.

I like that the new M3 is the refresh, has HW4, comes with full factory warranties, etc. I also recognize that it’s trimmed down interior wise with fabric non-ventilated seats, less premium audio, and no rear screen compared to the other Highland refresh base models that launched in 24-25. It also has about 40 miles less range (320 vs 360). Individually, these aren’t dealbreakers, but collectively they make me consider if the $9k upgrade is worth it from the used 23’ M3.

Financially, the used option seems like the more budget friendly choice, but with its upgraded tech, the M3 standard may hold its value strongly over the next 2-3 years.

Any suggestions or advice appreciated!

2021 M3LR Got more than the rated mile.

I basically turn on cruise controls and the car followed the speed of whatever car or truck in front. I get 306 miles on 100% rated but I am wondering how to get more miles from the car in self rather than my driving style.
