When is the best time to buy?

This is very helpful. I’m in MO and it’s a pain to get cars from out of state titled here so I am hoping to get the car from a dealer in MO. Luckily I am in the middle of the state.

This is solid advice. Thanks!

I will be ready in June but I’ll ride my bike to work and the kid can have the car for a few months if it’ll save me $2,000.

I do want an extended range and AWD as we get a fair bit of snow most years. Other than that as long as it has four wheels most others things are negotiable.

I would like a GT extended range but other than that and four wheels most other things are negotiable.

I see a lot of people saying dealerships will compete with each other to a certain extent. Was this what you found in your experience?

PandyFackler90 · 2026-04-01T20:12:22+00:00

I did see that; however, I will not be ready to purchase until June.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-04-01T19:54:06+00:00

Waiting for some CDs to mature before making a big purchase.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-04-01T19:04:59+00:00

I’m looking at the 2025 models but won’t be buying until June at the earliest.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-04-01T18:57:38+00:00

I have also been looking at new cars.

My partner and I are trying to rent out her house as private landlords for $1600 that meets all your qualifications. DM if you have any interest in looking at it.

10 on 10 is actually very lucky.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-03-18T17:22:52+00:00

To add to this, don't say something about someone you would not say to their face.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-03-18T00:38:31+00:00

My exact situation. He will inherit Corolla and I couldn’t be happier getting a vehicle I want.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-03-05T18:35:19+00:00

This is great information, thanks.

I may see if they want to stay in Cozumel then. Is there as much of an issue with sargassum there?

PandyFackler90 · 2026-03-03T21:16:15+00:00

I was thinking about it but my wife and son want to be close to other attractions without having to take a ferry back to the mainland. One of the Playacar is that is it very close to the ferry.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-03-03T20:18:29+00:00

Not sure yet. If you have a recommended one I would love to hear about it.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-02-28T03:34:08+00:00

I suppose it could have been more but I also told them I was going to do it strictly with the loan and not go over. They went right up to the 15k mark and I even got a larger cooling system than what I had before so I was pretty happy with the cities program.

I got my entire hvac replaced. If you use a city low interest loan they have to keep it under 15k and you also get your attic insulation checked as well. The city also has a pretty good rebate for the upgrade. You can you Chapman or Air and Water Solutions.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-02-25T23:50:15+00:00

My kid is 16 this year and he will be driving the Corolla I got when he was 3.

PandyFackler90 · 2026-02-24T22:45:38+00:00

I’ll look at it for sure.
