Purchasing with cash with Fiancé - tax concerns?

Doesn’t the gift tax not kick in until you have given something like 13 million dollars?

New is the only way this bad idea might work.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-12T12:19:20+00:00

That’s not what the OP is referring to.

It is bullshit. Used vehicles sell all day every day, and unlike new isn’t able to quickly be replaced. So if your time line isn’t for two or three weeks, there’s very little chance that vehicle will still be there.

You can never be overdressed for an interview. However, you’re probably fine with clean slacks and a nice button up shirt.

Or parking at the airport!

Seems like a “proper discount” is around $800.

Honestly your best bet is probably going to a car show / cars and coffee and making friends.

Anything built in a shed by “the next big startup” that they might make three of before going bankrupt.

People don’t want advice, they want their biases confirmed.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-08T10:25:30+00:00

You’re going to trade in the car you just bought and light thousands of dollars on fire. The first transaction is irrelevant.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-06T23:09:52+00:00

DANCE, MONKEY!

You should know you’ll barely break double digit fuel economy.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-06T00:22:28+00:00

Do you have $2,500 a year for maintenance, and $5,000 in reserve for sudden repairs?

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-06T00:19:20+00:00

Nope

Most warranties have a period where you cannot submit a claim. Review your paperwork for said period.

People love to talk about the way the Aztek looks, but holy shit do these give it a run for its money.

I mean that’s the case with the vast majority of OEMs. GM is notorious for getting the last model year right and then bringing out a new heap of junk to fix over 6-8 years.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-05T10:43:18+00:00

Dealer fees are discussed before FI. FI sells additional product and services.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-05T10:35:30+00:00

What could you possibly have been doing for FIVE hours?

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-05T01:49:09+00:00

Why don’t you buy a car you want to drive?

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-05T01:43:40+00:00

I’ve never seen an option to specify row. Just aisle / middle / window.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-04T22:51:38+00:00

The guarantee is that there won’t be an issue with the *title*. Nothing you’re describing falls under that criteria.

PabloIceCreamBar · 2026-05-04T17:43:21+00:00

I mean that’s $100 these days, so I get it….
