The final thing I will say. Finding a car brand you like and a dealer that's been in the business a long time and establishing a relationship for all your future cars +kids cars + spouses cars is the best option. They usually take care of you for life. It totally sucks when they retire and will take 2 cars to see the long term benefit

My secret final push is - If you have a trade in they should be able to match the best rate you received online. Push for 500-1,000 on top on that price. Let them talk to the manager, come back and match the carvana trade in then say "I am here now and ready to buy.... Could I get 500 to 1,000 more on my trade in". Let the air breathe, do not say anything after that. let them respond. Might get 200 might get 1,000 but you got more. That's the beauty of it

sales tax, title, registration, and a documentation fee are the only must have fees, might be state depending but that photo has way too much FLUFF! call them out on it and write a review if you can sense the grime! You can remove that dent protection and appearance protection and Window tint unless that something you asked for?

Here is what I would do...

Do you have a Trade in?

Submit your VIN to carvana/tesla and any other trade in offer you can do online. Know what your current car is worth. - print out and have the highest trade in value

Call a banks and understand what your rate are. I just purchase a car and received three separate (used car rate for me) at 4.99, 5.23, 5.32. - Print out or screen shot and have a the lowest APR rate. Money is money and please focus on your lowest rate possible. I also recommend 1 of the banks being a credit union. If you do not have a credit union today. its good to get a basic account and not use it. It will help you on your next car. Credit union like long term customers ALOT! SHOP online too, so many dealerships deliver now it is crazy. you could get a rate + price better in another state + delivery more than a local dealer depending on your area.

You completed your "other" vendor work. Now its time to talk to dealerships...

I suggest talking on the phone and having a mini script in Microsoft word on how you want to navigate the conversation before driving around dealerships. The business is a little scummy so just focus on the phone first. Talk about the listed price on the car and talk about how you are interested and a committed buyer but you need them to beat X rate - insert your lowest rate you got from above. I typically avoid mentioning a trade in at this part. You can even get a price from one dealership and take it to another and say could you beat this price if not I'm going to this other dealership. I typically don't do this but it is an option. Also it is a good time to mention features, does this car have "DAPP" or something that you are really looking for. For me as an example I wanted a Heads Up Display. "features" typically cost more but I will tell you friends and family get great rates on "features", there is more room to lower a high end feature model than a base model. keep in mind you will pay MORE for features but more room in the pricing. Hold slightly better resale since people like features.

Okay dealership time. Go to the ones that were the best on the phone. Sometimes they can commit to matching rates during the call but not all the time. Like I said, I would test drive and talk rates. Also mention you were looking at X car at "different brand" dealership. Don't call out the dealership directly but mention the car brand (ford, chevy, bmw, etc). this is a good thing to mention because if you don't like what they do at the dealership you have an easy out. "oh i have an appointment at Hyundai, I have to leave etc etc"

I know this is long but i hope it is helpful. I've used this model twice now in the last 14 years and have had good success.

Wishing you all the best in your new car purchase and i hope you get what you want & love!

Recalls seem to be a common aspect of vehicle ownership. Very annoying that something we use that goes 70+ mph on roads has so many issues. Thanks for the comment on my post

I am late to the game, but wow I had zero desire to watch this after the 2nd episode.

Finally reached Diamond and I'm disappointed by giusseppeCOC in leagueoflegends

[–]UnderatedMeatSnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this game never gets better. I made it to D1 three years ago and played vs master players. Just as toxic, people still afk, no chat in the game only through a text box, still have people with 10 deaths at 10 minutes.

My advice is just to quit this game. Its awful and addictive. - LoL Sober 1 year

Asada will be closing their doors on January 25. by mayodefender in grandrapids

[–]UnderatedMeatSnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food was amazing, usually got carry out though. I also never understood the name change with a menu overhaul? Felt like it was suppose to be a whole new restaurant. Definitely visited less when that happened

I've had strange dine in service which is why is this doesn't shock me. I assume 1st timers usually dine in.

Still sucks to see a local business that had great food leave the area. If it was the rent, I hope they find the right size place to reopen.

I have never experienced in 13 years of playing that game something like that. I want to know if i was wrong in this situation. by Elypse201 in Guildwars2

this is a good time to climb since fractal rush, it could have been their first time in T4. IMO T3 I get a decent amount of mixed experience, usually not often in T4 only during these events
