Re: Anyone buy a car using Costco Auto?

Purchased a car last year, tried a few of these services including one through my credit union, Costco, and another one. All of the quotes were higher than the quote directly from the dealer. I found the lowest price by configuring the car manufacturers website that lists all of the options exactly then emailing those specs to three dealers and acquired a quote from each. I then went to visit the dealer with the best price and asked for an additional $400 of their price.

During the purchase process I was quoted $8999 for an extended 3 year warranty. After declining three times the finance guy negotiated downward and I left paying $3000 for the extended warranty. Seems like there is a lot of margin in those warranties.

2) Some of the funds have a fee to purchase (load) (as mentioned)
3) The funds payout large capital gains distributions every year: (14% for OLGAX in 2018, which is taxed at your high tax bracket)

4) The co-manager of AKREX departed in May
(consider a morningstar.com trial or access morningstar through your library for a detailed fund analysis).

I feel a vanguard managed account (.30% fee) might be a better place to start. The ETFs are also tax efficient.

No experience with them, but I like to look at the justified consumer complaint ratio published by many states' insurance comissioners.

Consider something newer just to avoid the maintenance. Consider your reasons for the sport purchase. I purchased a used BMW 328xi w/ sport package when I was younger. The sport suspension made the next 8 years of road travel very bumpy / uncomfortable. I immediately regretted the purchase due to the harsh ride. Looking back I would have purchased the larger engine without the sport suspension. I would never purchase another car again with a sport suspension. Perhaps the accord sport is not as harsh?

Honda Accord / Toyota Camry are wise purchases. That 1.5L accord engine outputs out an amazing ~200HP. Wow.

Re: IRS 2% bounced check fee!!

Can’t you just send the IRS a check a little bit later for your estimated payments, once your funds have cleared? Or if you are not retired, just increase your withholding, and then you don’t have to do anything? The 2% penalty is just for bouncing a check. It does not matter when the second payment arrives. I sent them a second payment two weeks later once the funds cleared. The second payment arrived 16 days before the deadline (so I still paid on time). Kind of an extreme fee for something that could happen just for typing in an incorrect #, etc. If I was even a B rate movie star or professional athlete and had huge estimated tax payments I would be very careful not to bounce a check. Instant 2% penalty. When someone pays taxes over the...

Re: IRS 2% bounced check fee!!

Unless it was a bank error of sorts (sounds like it was NOT) since you made the mistake and wrote a bad-check - you've got to pay the fine. I don't want to keep harping on this, but that's not what the law says. The law specifically states, "This section shall not apply if the person tendered such instrument in good faith and with reasonable cause to believe that it would be duly paid." I guess it depends upon how you define "reasonable cause". I don't allow ACH transfers to occur unless the money I am paying for is in my account. If the money is there - and for some reason the transfer fails - I would call that a bank error. If, on the other hand, I initiate a transfer from Point A to Point B; and then initiate a secon...

Did they end up getting the payment on time via another transaction. Thought I read that someplace you redid the transaction, but can't find it.
I received an email that the payment bounced a week later (although no notice there was a fee involved). I immediately made a second payment through the eftps portal. The second payment went through around march 30th (2 weeks before the April 15th deadline).

Yes, I was clearly at fault for cutting it too close. The gripe is that I expected a fee of ~$35 and instead the fee was 2%. Imagine if the bank also charged a fee based on a percentage of the amount (this is not a late fee, it is a % of the amount fee). As far as consolidating, I then opened a Vanguard Advantage account only to have it canceled (Thanks Vanguard). I called the IRS, they guided me to file an explanation form, which I have done. They may waive the fee if my explanation checks out. TBD. Hopefully they will not take a year to notify me as they did with the bounced payment fee.

Re: Anybody have a vehicle with ventilated driver's seat?

There are two types of ventilated driver's seats and the performance of each seat is significantly different. The first is forced AC. This forces cool AC air out of the perforated seats to cool you. This is the seat available on the Benz and Lexus and works as expected (push button, cool air comes out of the seat). The second type of seat is the more gimmicky suction. There is a fan in the seat that creates a gentle suction and draws moist air away from the body through the perforations in the seat. This is the seat available on the BMW X3 (bmw's and mazdas), which I purchased, is a disappointment (because the ventilated seat is more expensive and unexpectedly includes fewer features than the non-ventilated seat such as adjustable bolsters)...
