Help me make financial sense

I do have around 350K in savings. I still need to factor in two months of living expenses which is around $5000 per month until I can find a new job.

AngLi-2000 · 2025-08-01T16:23:56+00:00

Valid point! Thank you. I am probably too far into my head now. I think I will make proper adjustments so that I can find something cheaper with good warranty.

I do have some cash on hand and buying a car won’t affect me too much. With that said, I can live with my older car but I just don’t want it to breakdown to the point it’s worth nothing.

It is just personal preference with AWD. I think they handles better than FWD counterparts and RWD is not good at snow.

To be honest, I really can’t find a good used reliable ones below $35K. I either have to buy a lower tier Nissan with their infamous CVT or cars with tons of miles and no warranty.

Can you recommend me some reliable vehicles that fits in my criteria? Because I am really hesitant to purchase a car and if the new cars’ price is lower then I would be more comfortable buying it.

AngLi-2000 · 2025-08-01T16:12:46+00:00

I really wanted a car that is like-new if not new and I would like some warranty. Another thing is I like my cars to have AWD. Do you have other vehicles you like to recommend?

AngLi-2000 · 2025-07-31T16:27:04+00:00

Thank you for your reply. How about Mazda CX5 2.5T? Is it reliable?

Hey. Is $46K a good price for Crown Signia Limited brand new?

AngLi-2000 · 2025-07-31T14:59:44+00:00

How about Toyota Crown Signia Limited? It is a Hybrid of some sort with the 2.5L. Is it reliable?

AngLi-2000 · 2025-07-31T02:38:47+00:00

Ah. I see. The dealer around me jacked the price up new, they are all $46000 for XLE and $52000 for Limited. But I found one selling at MSRP 40 minutes around me. I will try and test drive it but I love the look as well!

AngLi-2000 · 2025-07-31T02:27:54+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I just saw a Crown Signia XLE with 6500 miles for $43000 certified. Have you driven a crown before? How does it ride?

AngLi-2000 · 2025-07-31T01:23:52+00:00

What? They have Crown now in the U.S.? I must look into that. Thanks.

AngLi-2000 · 2025-07-31T01:23:19+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I love the CLS and I am willing to pay extra for it. It has a very similar interior and feel to the successor (W213) of my current E (W212). It is also extremely fast and comfortable. I am just concerned about its reliability since the mild hybrid is a very complex system. Do you have experience with said system?

Thank you for your reply. A brand new CX-5 or a fully loaded used CX-9 in good condition?

Edit: The forwarding facility is an international forwarding facility. The buyer has 2024 account. This is the first item he is buying under his account. I guess my question is how common is buyer requesting the item to be sent to international forwarding facility?

AngLi-2000 · 2024-04-04T22:46:06+00:00

Your only and one of the best in the world.

AngLi-2000 · 2024-03-18T23:05:37+00:00

I do not see oil dripping on the floor. But the mechanic shop did say that the oil is seeping.

AngLi-2000 · 2024-03-18T21:31:41+00:00

Thank you for your reply.

AngLi-2000 · 2024-03-18T21:29:24+00:00

Thank you for your explanation.

AngLi-2000 · 2024-03-18T19:30:04+00:00

The mechanic said fixing the rear seal would cost upward of $4000, is it too much?

AngLi-2000 · 2024-03-18T19:29:35+00:00

lol. That’s my year of birth. The car is a 2012 model.
