@shawngorham Last couple I picked up in the 10-20k mile range. Find someone who has only driven it to Starbucks. ;) If you do go new, you can't buy on the West Coast. Have to go through out of state dealers that are willing to discount. There are Facebook Raptor groups you can find them in.

[Derek Del Conte @delconte]

@shawngorham Yep. I'm on my fourth one. Generally find low mileage used ones a few years old that people are getting rid of quickly.

@rohindhar Is it not common to use escalation clauses there?

@nickgraynews Deploying UniFi APs and cameras? Such a great setup.

[Derek Del Conte @delconte]

@dvassallo I have some nice fall driveway photos there though!

@DonovanBuilds Feels so convenient that I wonder if it'll last. We use it all of the time for last second rental items.

@shawngorham Best daily out there. Load it up with bikes and skis for the whole family. On Raptor number four. Definitely deals to be had vs 6 months ago—R is still tough though.

@ankurnagpal 4. Your heirs get another 10 years of tax-free compounding.

Whoever added "10-Year Shelf Life" to Amazon Basics batteries deserves a promotion. I round up qty every order.

@KevinEspiritu 😂 Carry it in the shop and shoot more videos?

@sbabmarks Tough to beat Employee Fiduciary for low cost and quality support. I have several plans I've set up with them.

@pitdesi Single card that happened to report high utilization? For example, the US Bank Smartly reports ends of month and not end of statement.

[Derek Del Conte @delconte]

@shawngorham Exactly. Score a team deal or discount. Run it for a year or two keeping it nice then sell. You can mix in Crux or another frame and play the new release timing if you're willing to swap back and forth.

[Derek Del Conte @delconte]

@shawngorham Hehehe. I think the optimal strategy is to only run these for a year or two. Buy current model as soon as it's on sale. Resale is generally excellent on clean previous year models, but they fall off fast after that. Few thousand a year to always be riding the latest and greatest.

@KevinEspiritu Plus a quick check of https://t.co/MGL0jf6Yq7 to read everyone's saved away messages thanks to @nickgraynews.

@nickgraynews Extra $100MM + $10MM+ per year for crew and maintenance. ;)

@ShaanVP @somewherehiring You want a fixed fee agent so you can have the buyer's agent fee rebated to you at closing.

@RyanDanz The cost difference in one off tasks in our Seattle area rental vs Scottsdale is nuts. Assuming you can even find someone.
