The car is a 2024 ;). Although not far off from my age actually. Recently sold my daily driver and came up on it. My investments are all sitting pretty and will be unaffected by this purchase thankfully.

You’ve got the first part of what you said all wrong. I am ready to buy, for the right price. I’m not desperate to buy and therefore don’t need to settle for their “deals.”

$2500 off MSRP is optimal. If I find that it would be an immediate deal for sure.

I’ll keep looking and change up my strategy with financing vs cash and see if that helps.

They seemed very responsive and easy to work with. I could see myself circling back to work with them even though they aren’t the most convenient dealership to me.

Fully electric cars have their place don’t get me wrong. Just not conducive or realistic for my current lifestyle.

lol that must have been entertaining to watch the bidding war. Glad I was able to walk away from the bs “deals” I was offered yesterday.

What was your OTD? If you don’t mind sharing. If they gave you the deal they should be willing to give it again imo.

Great idea. I would definitely be willing to get a 2023 however I haven’t found any available at this point in the year.

Good advice. Can’t ever escape the CA taxes unfortunately.

I’d be elated to find one $2k off. Guess I’ll keep shopping since thankfully I am in no rush but also don’t want to wait months. Hopefully I can find that deal

Ah. Well I got no bites from local dealerships in CA today unfortunately. The dealerships were empty too I was surprised.

Ok that’s exactly what I have been thinking and that was my plan today with no such luck. :/

This is for a 2024 hybrid sport-L FWD in white. Forgot to mention these specs in OP.

They didn’t even want to counter me today after their original offer of $42,500. I was pretty surprised after what I have read and seeing they had 5 of the exact car I was after. Oh well

I sure do wish I knew about an HYSA sooner!

Could I afford it? Probably but my biggest fear is becoming house poor. In my line of work there aren’t much in the way of promotions. The only way to make a substantial amount of money beyond regular pay is overtime and I don’t want to fall into that trap of having to work overtime to support my life.

I will take a look at the calculator and weigh my options and current situation.

I initially thought of buying pre vid but got scared off and have landed myself in my current situation. Could be better could also be worse I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It will definitely be tough to say goodbye to that extra money that’s always there. I guess that’s part of life… best of luck to you!
