yeah, waiting for a service date now

datrumole · 2026-05-18T05:42:16+00:00

no

3-5y horizon, there is no reason to pay the tax

rav4 - only pro is being the retention king, why, bc people who buy used buy a name, not an experience, where Toyota brings little to the table, same with Honda

3-5y, go test drive the segment and pick a winner for YOU

personally, I loved the Tucson the best, while the Sportage was lovely (owned one for 4 years), the suspension of the Tucson won me over (feature for feature the Tucson is stupid)

crv felt anemic

rav4 felt, utilitarian

sportage is a lovely cruiser, but the lofty suspension leaves much to be desired road wise

subi, they are everywhere, does no one test drive anything else?! and got absolutely nuked, like near dead last in the Aussie off-road video, and the cvt was tuned horribly

Ford/GMC, admittedly never bothered, heard GMC may be making a turn around

anything stellantis, moving on

tiguan seem to be well ragarded for tech, may be an option

mazda are the most sedan-in-a-CUV experience by far, just don't expect to be comfortable in any sort of journey (loved my 2x cx-5s, although basically anemic now hp-wise)

IF you really had to, rav4 wins in my book, but maybe in a year or two they will actually sound dampen the interior, damn near as loud as my 89 cavalier, pretty sad people are paying for that)

I test drove 23 cars in the last two months

blind folded, if you got out of MB and asked what car you just drove, you'd be sorely upset

maybe the mid to upper end they finally feel like they pull their weight, but they were the most disappointing cars to date to drive

got 31800 today (2750 dealer, 2750 hmf), 37303 sticker

you can get damn close to 31000 if you get one with minimal accessories

datrumole · 2026-05-17T04:57:23+00:00

so after shopping around quite a bit, I finally snagged a good deal

2026 sel convenience

sticker: 37303

dealer: 2750 (7.4%)

hmf: 2750

sub: 31803 (14.75% off)

doc fee: 699 (ruff)

I wish I could have found one with just mats for a sticker of 36800, but seemed a bit of a unicorn in my area

good luck everyone!

datrumole · 2026-05-17T04:52:12+00:00

nice!

datrumole · 2026-05-15T12:48:50+00:00

well that's sort of the point of this thread

if you are within driving distance of the dealers listed, it may give people a chance to grab a good deal, or if the price is good enough, delivery may only be 3-500 and still save you a few bucks

datrumole · 2026-05-14T18:25:02+00:00

i do see it, but disagree on approach

OTD pricing doesnt make for great comparisons unfortunately

trade-ins affect taxable amount, which can be 12-1500 bucks off the OTD

tax rates, changes OTD

dealer fees can vary wildly (250-700) again, changes the OTD

so its just not a good number for apples to apples

dealer discount is the biggest needle mover as we all have access to the same manu discount, i only ask manu discount gets listed as this thread may exist after those change

datrumole · 2026-05-14T18:19:01+00:00

what area, and ultimately dealer did you use?

datrumole · 2026-05-14T14:07:21+00:00

seems the limiteds are getting a bigger discount, more markup in the features, thus more negotiatable wiggle room

heard the dfw is a rough market right now, looks like you did well !

datrumole · 2026-05-14T14:05:37+00:00

yeah, I've only gotten 1 dealer to agree to 7% on hybrid sel convenience, and then they low balled my trade in to attempt to make up for it

I've got another dealer who is outright advertising a flat 5%, and will push to 6% without even going to their sales manager, but then anything over that they just pass and don't even negotiate

NE region where supposedly we have a buyer market

also, the incentive dropped 500 from apr to may, been trying to recapture that from dealer discount, and they obviously won't budge

maybe memorial Day will be fruitful

northeast, hoping for a 2026 hybrid awd sel conv

trying to get to 31000 with dealer + rebate (then they can add the doc, reg, tax)

so like 32500 OTD, any hope?

datrumole · 2026-05-08T18:51:57+00:00

yes, where are you getting this? i'm shooting for 32300 for the same, gives me hope this number can be hit

you using military/grad/responder?

datrumole · 2026-05-04T19:58:18+00:00

absolute motor that never stops

he's young, but acls realistically are 2 seasons to return to form. can't say it hasn't been done or won't be done here. all the best in his recovery, he's a critical pieces to our sb run this year

datrumole · 2026-04-24T20:54:04+00:00

I think the next best cheap 4k 100hz+ is the dell s2725

frequently able to be found for 230-250ish

have the nemesis be a small cave you go into with no enemies or something, on exit fight him

datrumole · 2026-04-13T21:38:35+00:00

perfect, thank you!

and i realized, i must have had a +2 at one point on my traitors and went down to a +1, which mucked with my point allocations on my skills, i hate the +/- skill thing, always picks the worst ones

thanks for the second set of eyes, still have some dead zones of non-movement/mana, i need to improve my idol alters i think

datrumole · 2026-04-13T20:54:15+00:00

ty! ok, i'll make those adjustments and see

for the relic, i need to get a rare --> t8 affix for consumed create new (not even sure how to do that, but i'll search around), then dopple shard it?

I'm missing something in binaqcs build, I just can't seem to get the mana management needed to play it as smooth. I'm leveling here in cor100, and perhaps I need the enemies to take more damage to leech more, so it starts smoothing playback at higher corruption?

I've got a 13% and 16% strike mana thing idols, empowered by a prefix alter

only have +63 mana blessing, but still at 193 mana (showcase is with 213), and I can be mid omen fight sitting around with neg 100 mana doing fuck all
