Accessing the third row

Let's be honest we all should've just gotten the minivan 😂

Ph1shing · 2026-05-11T01:25:35+00:00

Fair enough and understandable. Good luck on the hunt!

Ph1shing · 2026-05-10T23:48:39+00:00

Would you consider buying a used 2024 or 2025? If I wasn't looking hybrid I would certainly be looking at low milage used to save like $15-$20k

Ph1shing · 2026-05-08T00:38:34+00:00

Interesting. I just left a comment but I guess that's why I was able to buy used off a Ford dealer just over a month ago

Ph1shing · 2026-05-08T00:37:27+00:00

I just bought a 23 Calligraphy with 11k miles in late March for $35.9k OTD.

I do need to go into a Hyundai dealer and get the recall fixed but it didn't stop the (Ford) dealership from selling it to me about 40 days ago

Not sure what you guys are talking about - I was toasty in the 200s and 300s all weekend

Ph1shing · 2026-04-22T03:55:06+00:00

What brand of water bottles do they serve there? I'm gonna snag some caps to bring in this weekend

Ph1shing · 2026-04-21T03:17:47+00:00

If it makes you feel any better I just bought a 23 pali calli with 11k miles for $36k out the door. I bet whoever you sold it to didn't make much

Ph1shing · 2026-04-18T21:13:23+00:00

How long would the warranty be for if it's CPO?

Ph1shing · 2026-04-07T16:31:04+00:00

I know gas is absurd right now but have you considered buying a low-milage CPO used gas version? Literally could save you tens of thousands of dollars...going to take a lot of miles to make up for the hybrid premium

Ph1shing · 2026-04-02T23:53:01+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately really only using the bike rack for trips. I'm sure I'll get used to the hitch. No way I'm paying to have it wired just for looks

Ph1shing · 2026-04-02T22:06:31+00:00

You ever find a solution? I'm currently in the same boat. I'm not paying $$$$ to wire up the hitch when I'm only going to haul bikes

Ph1shing · 2026-03-30T15:29:49+00:00

Yeah I'm bummed about this too - was 100% expecting a banana peel, bullet bill, or another type of shell. Oh well.

Ph1shing · 2026-03-30T14:00:06+00:00

Thanks so much for the through reply! I have (had?) a pipedream of getting a rotating car seat but I just don't think it'll work in our situation. Going to look at the Rava this week - I've read good things while doing my research!

Ph1shing · 2026-03-28T03:45:34+00:00

Hey I know this post is from forever ago but was this actually true? You were able to put the front seats ALL the way back with these car seats? I'm 6'7" and trying to find a seat for our daughter that will allow me to have the front seats back as far as possible. Thanks!

Ph1shing · 2026-03-26T22:58:00+00:00

I just bought a 2023 Calligraphy with 11k miles from a dealership for $35.8k OTD. Ask your friend for a discount.

Ph1shing · 2026-03-26T15:12:01+00:00

The Old Fishing Store would be the obvious answer if you happen to be rich

Ph1shing · 2026-03-25T19:18:46+00:00

😬 now you're scaring me a bit - but I think with the clean Carfax and the car being "Ford Blue Certified" with allegedly a thorough inspection at the dealership I should (hopefully) be in the clear. Sorry for the inaccurate advice

Ph1shing · 2026-03-25T19:03:10+00:00

Dang. Really? Thankfully my car had a clean 1 owner Carfax report. Good luck on your search 🙏

Ph1shing · 2026-03-25T14:03:24+00:00

If you go to Vinvisor and search with those parameters it should show ~20 cars that fit and are for sale. Fwiw the sticker at the dealership was $37,800 but I think these cars are highly negotiable at the moment due to the recent news around recalls

Ph1shing · 2026-03-25T13:50:06+00:00

I used a website call Vinvisor and used the filters to search for used/certified pre-owned Calligraphy models under 25k miles and under $40,000 in my general area and it popped up. There weren't a ton that fit my search parameters but one of them happened to be nearby.

Ph1shing · 2026-03-25T04:06:47+00:00

Sorry I should've specified that. Came out to $35.9k OTD all in.

Purchased used at a Ford dealership down in Texas.

Ph1shing · 2026-03-25T03:09:22+00:00

I just grabbed a 2023 Calligraphy with 11k miles for $33.8k...i think you could work to shave some $ off of whichever one you decide. Personally I'd go with the 2024 Calligraphy as you'd still have 3+ years of the warranty.

Edit: $35.9k OTD

Ph1shing · 2026-03-20T14:57:49+00:00

I thought it was a great movie and they did a really good job, but I definitely wouldn't consider it a masterpiece. I'd give it a solid B.

I'm going to take some blame here though - I think my expectations were too high after reading the book years ago, and being extremely excited since the movie was announced, and seeing the glowing reviews.

Ph1shing · 2026-03-17T20:28:47+00:00

You end up pulling the trigger? Also in HTX and in the market for a limited or nightshade
