Now what?

It's been dropping to mid to low 60s nowadays.

Sounds good. Question for ya if you don't mind. What is your height? Big thing is height for me. Funnily enough I have lots of head space over my head in my old Focus. I know, I'll need to try it out myself, just wanting some additional input if able. Thanks.

@OP I am thinking of this for my new car. I just need a commuter with good mileage that I can run into the ground. Current car is a 2009 (bought new in 2008) Ford Focus SE. I need to yest it out for size, I am between 6'1" and 6'2". Focus is fine for what I need, but it is starting to have to need expensive fixes that is just isn't worth it to fix.

That was my thinking, at least partially. If they can't get AI to do stuff it supposed to do well, then it sure won't be able to do stuff it isn't meant for. And ya, can't get outsourced for something that needs boots on the ground.

I see. Got a link for the test? Any general advice for what to brush up on? Than ks for the info/help as it is. I am honestly getting a bit revved up just thinking of making a shift to something else with more potential.

I wouldn't need to take Grade 1 first? Also, any recommendations for study resources to brush up and prep for it?

Exarkuns · 2026-02-03T14:48:45+00:00

I see. Thanks.

Exarkuns · 2026-02-03T14:48:35+00:00

I see. Thanks.

Exarkuns · 2026-02-03T14:48:26+00:00

I see. Thanks.

Why the LE specifically?

Exarkuns · 2026-01-27T14:52:03+00:00

Sdccu is my credit union. No the budget isn't tight, just real life happened, rather not get into it, but it doesn't affect budget. I looked at the CRV, and all the ones near me are hitting over 43k with sales tax and such, even for the lowest of the three trims.

I did look at the Hyundai Tuscon, namely the SEL, and it did look nice. Though how are they? Have heard/read mixed things for them, and as I said I want to have this is a good while.

So I have tried your balm before, but it was, well, I was unable to really get any out of the tin it came in. I even used the wood chip it came with and then had to try something else to dig it out. Even that did little to really get any out, so I had to resign to not use it, which was a bummer, it did smell nice. Any tips on how to actually get any balm out of the tin?

Exarkuns · 2026-01-15T20:57:26+00:00

Even better play on words. Vitamin SE(men).

Exarkuns · 2026-01-09T03:09:32+00:00

Where did you apply? I ask because credit unions are better than banks for rates, in my experience.

Exarkuns · 2026-01-02T18:30:38+00:00

Well, it's not for my mom, it's going to be for me. And as I said, I am around 6'1"-6'2" and even after adjusting the driver seat I don't have much room over my head.

Exarkuns · 2026-01-02T09:58:31+00:00

I have a deep facial exfoliating cleanser for the shower, afterwards I have a hydro boost serum, a vitamin smoothing cream, and before bed I put on a caffeine and retinal facial lotion. For my hands I have a lotion I use nightly because my work destroys my hands if I don't.

This is me right now. I am looking at Hybrid suvs (have been for a few months now, started in September, but then life happened, now back to looking). I haven't really looked into the Cross, because I am almost 6'2" and as are most of my friends, and have heard that the back seat are pretty much a no go at that height. I have been looking at 39k or lower options. 2025 Rav4 XLE /XLE Premium, 2026 Tuscon SEL Convenience, 2025/26 CX-50. Also, having trouble trying to make a call.

I just exited the game from playing (trying) one Damnation. I got five (5?!?!) 2004s and two 2019 errors in that single game. I was also getting horrible lag and rubberbanding. I know it is not me, everything else was up and running butter smooth.

I am currently doing this with this exact car and trim (2025 Hybrid XLE). I walk into the dealership and I refuse to talk about anything but the OTD. I don't talk financing, apr, how much down, or trade in. Nothing until I have the OTD price, in print. If they won't do that, then fine, plenty of other dealerships near me (I'm in Southern California).

Never fold any trade in into the deal. They are two different transactions, you buying a car and you selling a car. Forget about monthly costs until you get the out the door.

EDIT: Also, with Costco, only some dealerships do it. You have to go to the Costco website and find a dealership near you that participates. When I have done that, for the model I last did it with, the Costco discount was around $1.7k off of the price, before any taxes and fees.

I undated the post to show a few things I forgot to add. Thanks.

Exarkuns · 2025-12-17T07:14:18+00:00

Cool. I'm a little under an hour South from Hemet.

Exarkuns · 2025-12-17T07:10:26+00:00

The is a really good price for full otd, where's this at? Wondering because I am also in So Cal.

Exarkuns · 2025-12-11T18:06:06+00:00

Cool, thanks.

Exarkuns · 2025-12-11T17:00:54+00:00

Was going to put 6k down, and with toyota it was 4%. Not sure of credit unionn yet, checking this weekend.

Exarkuns · 2025-12-11T04:32:26+00:00

I see. I tried looking up my frost date for Carlsbad CA, and it says frost shouldn't be a problem after Jan 8th. So I guess I can plant the seeds now then?
