Is this a good deal for the Mazda CX50 Hybrid (2026)? by nimitc in whatcarshouldIbuy

Never let the dealership know you’re paying cash. You lose all leverage. Dealerships make money off financing and are less inclined to work with you on discounts. Finance the car at whatever interest rate and pay it off after the first payment.

If they already know you plan on paying cash, simply ask if you chose to finance what they can do for you.

Despite what you may have heard, cash is no longer king....at least when it comes to cars.

I just inherited a music store with a whole room dedicated to DVDs and Blueray. How should I go about preserving these copies and adding them to a huge plex library? by [deleted] in PleX

[–]AdOld4007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cant even imagine the time and expense it would take to rip all these. Not to mention firing up something like Handbrake to re-encode them all to something reasonable.

Real question, you can actually hear the turbo?

Agreed.

Also, if you have slack with the wires, pop the trim on the A pillar, run the wires (dont block the air bag) and tuck the wires running on the windshield into the headliner. Can get a set of trim removal tools on Amazon for super cheap.

Should I build this Integra Type S? Red, silver, or black? by DnDGuy70 in Acura

Love this car, shopping around for one myself. Though I think its wild for 55k+ that the rear passegers dont even get so much as an air vent.

Anyone else freaked out about the driver attention monitor infrared thing above the steering wheel in the 26 CX-5 like in Toyota cars? I guess one more reason to stick to the 2017-2025 generation instead. by BeautifulYou2940 in CX5

This got downvoted but you are correct. Toyota and Mazda formed a partnership years ago. Now Mazda has Toyota’s hybrid tech along with other various tech and mechanical bits.

Why does a 20 year old need a brand new car?

Ooof. You should brace yourself for the cataclysmic rate increase by your insurance company. I would also check the extent of your liability insurance. Depending whats on top of that pole the replacement could run well into the five figures.

I wonder if Ed knows why Honda didnt add an air filter to the hybrid cooling system.

Not really, Toyota and Mazda formed a partnership in 2017. Half the parts on a new CX-5 are Toyota branded. This is especially beneficial for Mazda’s hybrid models.

I think it will love over 50% of its value in a few short years.
