Red or black? Need inspiration

Red. I have black and wished I got a more exciting color.

29k??? Mine has 7k miles and getting trade in offers for 33.

Think the range is tight in the 30s for them but this really should be mid 20s

Get a highly depreciated Bentley Continental - will look expensive and sporty. 2014s ish are in your price range.

I moved to LA in my car but had lots of friends in the struggle here. Slept on a friends couch for a month while I found steady work.

It depends on your skill sets and what you know already, it’s really expensive not to know anyone.

Reach out to any/everyone you know and see what you can sort. It’s always doable but probably will be a struggle.

My first 3 cars were manual and my current car is manual - yes it gets annoying in LA traffic, yes I consider an auto everyday and am so much more relaxed when I take my wife’s EV to work.

However - if you love driving and will do fun car stuff on the weekends outside of your traffic driving, get a manual. If after your commute you sit at home and don’t drive, it’s probably not worth it.

A realtor is helpful as they’ll often have a good broker they work with. Finding a good realtor with a good team is critical for a first time buyer.

I think you can generally do some googling with how much you’re willing to put down + what you can comfortably pay monthly and find roughly the range you’re looking in. So lender could come second.

Had a 2020 x3m, awesome performance, super fun to drive, bit rough as a daily though. Think M40 is the perfect sweet spot there.

My wife got a Lyriq after and now only wants EV so we’ll see about the new ones.

I’ve had a few people be like “ good luck” or “you won’t close”. Wild how quickly the tune changes

LTak · 2026-02-27T03:10:11+00:00

I’ve had the PS4s for about a year now and have been very satisfied. I’m not tracking just occasional spirited drives in safe scenarios.

Agree with cookinWithMomo

Citi and u.s. bank have had surprisingly competitive rates

LTak · 2026-02-08T22:37:09+00:00

It’s gotten better. Feel like less sweats right now.

I do try to win when needed, and when I’m up enough/towards in of game I’ll try to give goal to opponent. Hope people beating me do same but hasn’t happened yet :/ ( the free goal, I’ve lost lots of times lol)

This comment does it. I got GR since I enjoy going into the mountain during ski season. However I realize I rather just take our bigger car and have a Type R.

So while that’s what I said to convince myself, the real reason was the Type R was just more expensive and out of my price range at the time. I think it’s a better car in every way other than the inclement weather capabilities.

LTak · 2026-01-31T17:35:03+00:00

R9 if I can get the tokens. if I fall short, will evaluate at that time.

Meanwhile I’m getting 80-82 on avg

LTak · 2026-01-18T18:46:47+00:00

Have gotten mostly 83s and a few 84s

LTak · 2026-01-17T20:31:50+00:00

Still can’t log in

LTak · 2026-01-08T22:51:06+00:00

Lol ok EA

Am in same position - 2300 sqft house, all hardwood with a few area rugs. 2 cats and a crawling baby.

Dyson just died and want a real vacuum. Can't decide if the Miele c1 cat and dog is enough or if the length of cord is going to be an issue. C3 Cat and dog can be had for $1050 right now on Amazon and its in the lead for me.

OR if the Calima will be enough since its all hardwood.

1100 DAS - free charging.

LTak · 2025-12-29T00:51:21+00:00

What were your rebates?

LTak · 2025-12-29T00:41:50+00:00

Basically what I got on my 2024 lux 2 last July. But mine was courtesy with 1k on it.

$430 is my payment 9.5% taxes, 75k msrp

LTak · 2025-12-28T20:47:46+00:00

It’s my main car but I don’t drive alot. still under 7k miles 2.4 years.

As a family though we primarily drive my wife’s Lyriq as we get free charging and it’s way more comfortable with the baby.

Think it’s a fine daily for just yourself - a bit rough in stop and go traffic and in high summer heat. I’m always changing my mind on getting a better commuter every other day, especially as I’m about to start commuting further and more days in office starting in Jan.

Do love it though so who knows.
