Yeah you really showed them!

Hope this energizes you enough to march into the dealership you bought your last car to tell them next time, you WONT be paying over MSRP and may even expect to pay less than that.

it is silly to pay all that money.

stream with Roku, get Spectrum internet * wifi with their 15 channel streaming and everything else is on pluto or tubi, netflix.

Is this the thread where all the cool kids* laugh about how they cut the cord from satellite cable? And then don't tell you that they ended up -predictably- paying just as much or more than they did before all while having to deal with a myriad of streaming services/hookups/connections?

what you say is true. unless you use spectrum streaming and internet. at minimum my in laws qualed due to covid for the free broadband from Uncle Brandon and knocked over $50 off there bill and pay a total of $52 a month for spectrum internet/wifi and spectrum streaming. it isn't a ton of channels but they get locals and use tubi, pluto, netflix.

Hulu/YT is expensive now

Sling sucks

the above even w/o the stupid Uncle Brandon discount is still cheaper with Roku streaming.
