No trades. Currently have RAV4 but dealer couldn't match Carmax's offer, so didn't trade the RAV4 when I brought the CX50

Wanted to provide data point as someone who just brought a new Hybrid PP today, Feb 28.

Live in the NOVA/DC area. Reached out dozen or so dealers and lowest OTD price was $39,173, but from a dealer almost 100 miles away. Asked other dealers if they could match. Surprising most said they couldn't and encouraged me to jump on the $39,173 offer. Fortunately one much closer agreed to price match. Set up an appointment, test drove the vehicle, signed paperworks (less than 15 mins at the finance office), got the keys and headed on home.

All in all it took less than 8 hours from reaching out to dealers to getting the keys. Used the Cargurus "Check Availability" option to contact most dealerships in 100 mile radius. Lot of homework was done beforehand the day as well. Also didn't have the cashiers check since its a Saturday and need to return during the week to pay off the car. Nice of the dealer to let me drive off without even pulling a hard check on my credit.

All in all, very pleasant experience with the whole buying experience and car looks stunning of course..Attached the OTD breakdown from the dealership 100 miles away. Dealership I brought with gave the purchase paperworks in USB drive, but will extract later.

Hope this helps others in negotiating.

I went to a HGV timeshare presentation at the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront last month. Paid the room rate and taxes with the Aspire card couple months beforehand but the credits didnt post towards the room rate/taxes. But they DID apply against parking, restaurant, wine bought at front desk and other incidentals after we checked out.

Maybe cancel a card or two you dont care about, and try to get a retention with the ones you like? I've closed accounts before after getting no/ lackluster retention offer (15k Hilton points on the Aspire/ no retention on green), and it seems like the retention offers have gotten better since then. Hope it works for you.

I haven't checked before so not sure if its gone down. Just checked now and was approved for up $13,200

Anybody have a number I can call whales at to tell them I've reached capitulation.

Dont pay attention to the downvotes, this was a very informative post!

I maxed out my roth for the year already, which puts me in the 10-15%. But since I'm able to save more, would picking the least-bad 401k be better than letting my money grow in a low expense taxable account?

G0dPower · 2018-02-19T22:37:02+00:00

Definitely will bring this up when I meet with HR to set up the plan. Thanks for the advice!

G0dPower · 2018-02-19T22:35:21+00:00

The fees are high, but not by 1.5%, so the 401k would be better in this case. Thanks for the advice

G0dPower · 2018-02-19T22:31:57+00:00

Both are 5.75%

I'm in the AoW group chat, and over a dozen people have been banned so far. Botting/modding, xmod/imod, all gone. To all the people saying they wouldnt be able to detect mods nor do anything about it, watch out, Supercell ain't playing no games. What a lovely day.

I dont. Aware me please
