OK so $$ is tight with the economy so I’m asking about XM subscription deals out there. On my 2004 I paid for several years in advance and I thought it was over $10 a month.

 

When I got the 2010 I let the free trial go and ignored all the mailing and phone calls about renewing. Today I got a letter offering me 1 year for $77. I can go for that.

 

I searched the forum and see the $77 is not a new thing. So I’m wondering if there are any other special codes or offers out there? Maybe throw in Howard or NFL?

 

I was pretty happy with the XM, until I read up on this site and wiki. They throw in commercials on XM but not Sirius? I always thought there was some mis-cues. Anyways I’ll pry open my wallet, and after George Washington’s eyes get use to the light I’ll send off 77 of them to renew my XM.

here's a hint: they will only give you the $77 deal if you pay with a credit card. at that point they automatically put your card on file and set you up for auto renewal at the "current market price", this is the only reason I have no XM subscription now, they are unscrupulous and I won't deal with a company that operates like that.

I pay $23.05 total every 5 months. They said I can keep renewing it every 5 months at that rate.

 

Here's the way I got it: I called XM to cancel, they asked why I wanted to cancel and I said because it's too expensive. They offered me the $77 deal and I said no thanks, I'd like to cancel. I believe they also offered me another deal which I passed on. Finally they asked if I would renew for 5 months at $23.05 and I said okay. Then they told me I could continue to renew it at that rate every 5 months. I'm on my second cycle at this rate now.

 

You have to be prepared to cancel your service. If you don't get offered what you feel to be a reasonable deal, go ahead and cancel it. I had all intentions of cancelling but I felt like $23.05 for 5 months was a reasonable price for the service, any more than that and I can live without it.

This is true. They will bill you automatically when your current subscription ends, even if you tell them not to. It happened to me and it took several phone calls and emails but I did get my money back. With Sirius or XM (same company anyway) be prepared for either a long term relationship or a battle when you try to end it. Man, sounds like marrage. I just turned my Sirius account back on. I like the service. I will call to cancel at the end of the current year at which point they will offer the $77 deal again to keep me. Pretty much S.O.P. for them.

I had gotten the $77 deal also about 4-5 months ago. Last month I was having trouble with my service so while I was on the phone with them, I asked for my linked credit card to be taken off the account. She was able to do it.

 

I'd advise you guys doing this once you lock in your deal.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
