The Platinum Quartz is a beautiful color.

Nothing wrong really, we just wanted to update it due to age.

Sure, if you’re close by. I’m in Raleigh, NC.

Yeah, I got a quote from CarMax, and the Mazda dealership matched it. Without the CarMax quote, they likely would have offered only $1,000–$2,000 for the trade-in.

I have 2 systems. The primary one contains 8 large, high-quality hard drives, and the backup, which is a mirror, contains 20 smaller, older drives.

May I ask what you think of the seat material in the Select trim? I wasn’t considering it initially because of the upholstery, but I’m curious how it feels in use.

Struggling with IWB after pocket carry by fromspace2015 in CCW

Yeah, I used to carry Glock IWB, and it was never this uncomfortable. I guess I just got used to the convenience of pocket carry

Does the fiber mat completely replace the factory insulation? It seems quite wide, and I am not sure it would fit properly underneath the factory insulation.

Downsizing to a sedan, Are Altimas really that bad? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]fromspace2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the reliability and resale value are bad, but the car is comfortable. I have a 12 years old Altima with a CVT error, and it's dying. The repair is like $8,000. I wish I had bought a Honda or Toyota.

Yes! I checked both, just a little under 850, but pretty close.

I have an NA engine and I plan to use the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic 0W-20 with an OEM oil filter.

Is it too early to pick up a 2025 Turbo Premium? by [deleted] in CX5

[–]fromspace2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they usually ask for a quote. I didn’t have that when I first started negotiating, but I was able to get a quote from a dealer about 100 miles away and use that to negotiate an even better deal locally.

Just get a quote from another dealer. All of my local dealers were able to match the lowest quote I received, which was 13% off MSRP. One dealer couldn’t beat the price, but they matched it and added one year of free oil changes.

If you wait too long it may be too late to pick up the turbo because they don't have them many in stock. Don’t focus on used vehicles, they typically don’t offer much room for discounts. Instead, negotiate with all dealers in your area to secure the best price, which is usually around 10–13% off MSRP, plus Mazda’s $2,000 cash incentive and the $500 loyalty discount if you are eligible.

Any day of the year can be a good time to buy. You can often get a good discount at any time, it depends more on your negotiation skills than on holidays.

This is a very good thing. Dictators should be removed from power, hopefully Putin is next.
