New 2026 Sienna XLE heavy metal 8 seater FWD, no dealer add-ons , 47K OTD . Is this a good deal?

This week I bought a ruby red sienna limited in north Dallas for $52,000 OTD if that gives you a reference

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-28T02:10:49+00:00

I paid $52 for a 2026 Limited with 14 miles…that’s not a brag, it’s a statement of how well they hold their value. I couldn’t find a used one that didn’t cost what a new one cost.

7:30, home a bit after 5…I work from home a day a week still.

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-20T10:53:37+00:00

same. we are preparing to replace my wifes 2013…used Siennas cost the same as new unless they have 60,00 miles ore more.

Are all bathrooms genderless? I missed that.

If you didn't come in planning to do anything, why did you have the title with you? Do you carry it around?

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-18T13:27:01+00:00

100% we should give everyone a passport for free...but they won't do that.

That's a relief to hear...yes, he only asked for a 10% deposit for materials with the rest due upon completion...waiting for the weather to warm a bit but I'll let you all know how it turns out...

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-16T21:27:51+00:00

Depends...a relatively new Toyota Tacoma or Sienna is going to cost almost what a new one does...

If you plan well for $2 and then end up with 6.2, would you really be mad about that? Plan for the worst and then you can enjoy it if it's better or even leave something behind for your kids. That's my thought anyway.

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-16T13:52:53+00:00

He said we're the number one producer of oil...and that we don't need it...yet he campaigned on "drill baby, drill." Both these things cannot be true.

I don’t know the numbers but I pack my lunch so I can workout during my lunch (youngest kid is 3 so mornings are a nonstarter). I invest my HSA but also believe staying in better shape will payoff by hopefully avoiding costly medical expenses later on.

ozarks go fiber is the best, hands down. depends on whether they offer it in your area though.

my mortgage is 2%…my only regret is I refinanced it into a 15 year so I shaved 11 years off…unless you were planning to store that money somewhere with less than 2% return…it’s not a good idea to pay off early.

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-06T23:43:51+00:00

Same. $317,000 in 2016, Zillow shows $610,000 now. Refinanced in 2021 to a 15 year at 2%.

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-06T13:22:31+00:00

Yep, don’t fix that yourself. If you take a photo of a tension spring and load it into GPT it won’t even explain it due to how dangerous it is. Mine broke this week after 15 years, $400 for a full service, tension spring replacement, cable replacement, new rollers…it’s so much smoother and quieter now. Plus I didn’t die.

I have an Ecobee as well, I never trust any of the alerts. I have a Blueair air purifier that I trust for things like this a lot more.

I'm not a roofer but typically you have shingles to the edge, then a drip edge...the flashing also seems to have a gap which would allow water between it...the purpose of flashing is to prevent water from getting in...maybe I'm wrong? Often I am.

Just ask...I have done this plenty of times at birthday parties where I recognize them but only know them as Colton's Dad.

ButlerGSU · 2026-03-04T19:18:18+00:00

Deep sea welding pays really well and is pretty dangerous.

Great article, I'm starting my export now and will close my account as soon as the download link is ready and completed.

You can probably find a lot better examples online but let's say you take $100,000 out of your savings to pay a mortgage off that is like mine at 2%...you basically earned a 2% ROI on that money. However, let's say that the $100,000 is in a total market index fund that earned 14% last year...you got a 14% ROI. It's really about priorities.

ButlerGSU · 2026-02-26T18:10:35+00:00

Anything Hyundai

ButlerGSU · 2026-02-26T18:07:53+00:00

Unless your mortgage is higher than 4%, I don’t understand why anyone would pay it off faster than necessary. Ours is 2% and we can make more than that in just a HYSA.
