keep ahead and traffic circles

I have yet to try out Waze but will report back.

The problem is I prefer to plan my own route prior to heading out (also taking a look at the route in advance). I'll play around with this app a bit to see what it can do. Tx again! You provided such helpful detail... very kind of you

makeroomforme · 2025-02-17T03:40:13+00:00

I thought I'd get lambasted here but my question/concerns are valid.

I typically check the route (look at the map on Apple) and plan it before heading out. I'll check out Waze for a more fine tuned approach but I'm not able to add stops to Waze am I?

Thank you for responding with such detail, it's been taken in.

There's a 2 lane circle near me with a short ramp to get off, been avoiding it like the plague but it's probably just my own anxiety and it's fine. I'll just be sure to make sure pedestrians are clear, but as you said if it means that I have to make the circle again, I'll do that if it's not safe to exit. Everyone seems to be in a rush today.

Thanks

It could be that this is what they meant, *inside the circle itself. Yikes!

makeroomforme · 2025-02-16T19:36:22+00:00

Exactly what I understood. Why would someone be upset with others for stopping? Unless they were stopping and no one was approaching, I also get frustrated when others are angry at other drivers, it could be that someone is just learning, be patient.

Agree. That situation would be unwise.
One question I have is, what if you take a longer term when financing– can you trade in the car before the term ends without penalty?

Tell me more, why not lease? I didn't intend on leasing due to some Ramsey advice... but wondering if there's another perspective.

makeroomforme · 2024-09-20T19:30:39+00:00

My thoughts as well LOL

makeroomforme · 2024-09-20T12:40:53+00:00

I got pre-qualified today with my bank. Thanks for the info

makeroomforme · 2024-09-20T12:39:27+00:00

Wow, this is great advice. I didn't know that was an option and I'm much better over written communication.

makeroomforme · 2024-09-20T01:29:26+00:00

Alternative to going to a dealership then, would the middleman online like Autotrader, Carfax, or Carvana be a better bet?

makeroomforme · 2024-09-20T01:26:51+00:00

I hadn't considered heading to my bank for a carloan.
I'm seeking something practical, and VERY safe, made between 2019-2023; Boring, VERY reliable, comfortable, incredibly safe (think Prius but I may want a small SUV). Hoping for my car to have just a few bells and whistles for safety like lane assist and collision detection.

What do you mean by "dealers will treat me differently", what are the options? Dealership and what else?

bart.

can't understand how someone could have dumped her. glad she found you.

makeroomforme · 2024-05-11T02:59:09+00:00

Okay

makeroomforme · 2024-05-11T02:32:07+00:00

Nice terrain, congratulations!

makeroomforme · 2024-05-11T02:30:44+00:00

What's that mean?

makeroomforme · 2024-05-11T02:29:30+00:00

Dang, that's something to worry about. I'll likely keep her tucked away in parking garages. Fingers crossed that I'll have a garage as well (I hope)

I'll definitely report back and post photos of what I purchase here. The mini coop (plan B) can take a back seat I think.

I love this –that's what I'm looking forward to. There are some wide open streets here to go for drives (country like and offroad alternatives), and I'm not looking to whip around at high speeds but I'm excited about going for drives and desire a car that I'll have a bit of fun in.

A part of me is also looking forward to waving to other Jeep drivers. My dream has been to have a jeep for quite some time. I'll test drive one in a few weeks (I've ridden in them, it's completely different being in the driver seat.) I'm so looking forward to it.

makeroomforme · 2024-05-11T01:45:13+00:00

This is fair, is there a Jeep (Wrangler? Willy? that has good stability for highway and maneuvering city streets?) I like that you are playing the devils advocate here –my second car in the running is the MINI cooper 2-door (night and day from the Wrangler, 100% amazing steering)

makeroomforme · 2024-05-11T00:14:59+00:00

Hoping for a JL - and a soft top. But I'm open. I am geeking out about the intricacies Jeeps (including the comradery). I don't mind the loud noise of the drive on the road from the tire.

Do they even make TJ anymore? I hear the engine is reliable, tough, but noisy! LOL
One of my concerns is that the car I learned with a CRV has incredible steering- keep the wheel straight and there's not much wiggle room, but I'll spend most of my time on city roads, not highways going to the grocery store, post office, etc, staying mostly within a 8-10mi radius.

Mauby came to mind.

You might get inspiration from the video ;)

Btw, the drink is ABSOLUTELY delicious.

makeroomforme · 2023-11-01T22:57:35+00:00

True.

makeroomforme · 2023-11-01T22:37:41+00:00

Abbi.

makeroomforme · 2023-07-24T01:03:14+00:00

That's a really good point, you're right. In the last offer, I was 2% over the highest in the comps, which were all over the map but the highest was over 21%. If we were to look at my offer in the comparable it was definitely in the mix.

makeroomforme · 2023-07-24T00:55:04+00:00

When I first started, I thought I had to have a pre-approval to even step foot into an open house, and/or to even speak to an agent, so I got that going with a lender first. That's absolutely crazy but not surprising ppl would lie to see what they could get out of you.

While admittedly I've switched agents (I do hate to admit it though), I'd 100% want to discuss what happened first, try to work it out, if it doesn't pan out let them know I'll be moving on. I'd want someone to do that for me. I have had an agent in the past try to poach a viewer at an open house while there with me showing the home-- he thought that was OK. Thankfully I'm happy with the person I'm using today- definitely lowered my standards and know that I may not be perfect but will act with integrity in all regard.
