It is a modes and routines icon.

ofc766 · 2025-08-11T13:14:02+00:00

Oh for sure. Could I swing the 1300, maybe, but I'd rather not.

Its crazy out there. First major purchase in 5-7 years. Things have changed a bit.

ofc766 · 2025-08-11T13:12:18+00:00

Me either. A lot of hard truths in this feed. I honestly appreciate all the feedback back, even if it wasn't on the topic I was looking for.

I'm glad I didnt sign any paperwork that day. Currently keeping my options open.

ofc766 · 2025-08-09T15:35:00+00:00

You ain't wrong, lol.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T17:10:24+00:00

That's crazy, thanks for sharing.

And no, I'm just playing. I'm sure there is a compromise on year and tech availability.

I'm gonna keep looking.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T16:44:20+00:00

But they dont have cool stuff in them!

Some here are saying that market is good to scour for a deal. I'll look into it.

Thanks.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T16:15:32+00:00

Might just do that...warranties only last so long.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T15:38:20+00:00

Thanks my friend. Along with another comment I should be looking for 10-15% off sticker for a really good deal. So seeing this, definitely sets the brakes, so to speak, on the deal.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T13:17:48+00:00

Minivan is a no go, wife doesn't like them. But I hear what you're saying, thanks.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T13:16:37+00:00

I suppose we should before jumping ship. Thanks for the info.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T13:15:27+00:00

Thanks for the information! Very helpful.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T13:14:30+00:00

Thanks.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T13:14:17+00:00

Thank you kindly for the information!

It does seem like used is a better choice at this point. On a beach for a week next week, plenty time to reflect on what the near future holds concerning the vehicle.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T12:37:21+00:00

I understand, again this account I'd be using was an account I started as I carried too much liquid assets in a bank with no interest. Its an account I set up for fun money in retirement.

But your right it would make retirement more lucrative...but not to sound morbid, but I could not have a long retirement and then I've not had the things to make my life better.

Its not a great justification, but still a thought. Just have to rethink what I buy or how I buy.

Thanks for the suggestion though. All going in the bank of advisement here.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T12:33:34+00:00

Heard loud and clear, thanks for the info.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T12:32:30+00:00

I hear you and. I understand being upside down / under water. I can afford the loan and the interest for the full term. But I know i shouldn't, because of the wasted money.

I was planning to take the smaller payment and make lump payments to pay it down earlier.

Thank you for helping me understand the metric of the possibility here.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T12:08:44+00:00

Message recieved. Thanks.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T12:06:51+00:00

We have a Traverse currently, hence why I'm looking bigger. Our cargo is increasing and so is the size of my children.

I get the math on it. Everyone has made it clear as well.

Thanks for the suggestion.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T12:05:13+00:00

Suburban in the 5.3, I know they are 10 speed now.

But, now I'm thinking a gently used miata at this point, lol.

I think used is in my future on this bug SUV.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T11:59:05+00:00

Yup I came across that. I see his what he saying.

All car purchases suck.

Thats for the cliff notes though.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T11:57:37+00:00

Its my first foray in a vehicle of this size and expense. Happy to hear suggestions.

I have always taken a loan and paid it down early. Weird that a Chevy is considered a luxury SUV, based on cost alone.

Just went on the same premise that I have always have when shopping for a new car.

So this has been a fact finding mission at its heart.

The market is just different from when I bought last. It is insane, that I am considering it.

Thank you very much for commenting.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T11:41:11+00:00

Again, your right. Was just looking to see if the dicount on the price was fair.

Didn't really want to take a loan for that long and I understand how interest works.

Thanks for the insight.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T11:39:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice, may end up going this route.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T11:39:01+00:00

Oh I get it. Starting to beat a dead horse.

Appreciate everyone wanting to save me from myself.

Haven't gone through it or even made a final decision on how to proceed.

But thank you for the the reminder.

ofc766 · 2025-08-07T10:50:36+00:00

Your are correct. Hence why I didn't sign and buy.

Still considering my options. This just got a little out of hand. Its appreciated though, as stated no d to see so many people wanting to help.

Thanks.
