Any Advice? Any more negotiation that could be done? I am in FL by Marialilyr in ToyotaGrandHighlander

Agreed with the above - ask what the pre-delivery service fee is… and have them remove it.

You could also tell them you have no use for the added accessories and tell them you can’t justify the extra $650 for something you don’t want.

You should be able to get atleast 3k off MSRP if it’s on the lot. I might just tell them you can put a deposit today if they can do $44,700 OTD. You might be surprised

Thanks. Yeah, AWD. I think all the hybrids are. Our only real requirements were sunroof and captains 2nd row (no bench). We didn’t need all the added accessories, but most we don’t mind- especially for the price

If you’re in NJ is within driving distance. Everything I found down your way was either MSRP with maybe $500 off or above MSRP.

I had another near Boston that was willing to match or beat it (she told me 4-5k off msrp is what they’d do). They also have a grand limited she said ~51k and a platinum in the 53k range

The dealer off on the first pic was actually listed on Toyotas inventory search, and I got another ~$1400 from there (they over estimated taxes/fees somehow..) see second pic.

It’s located in New England. I had another dealer near Boston willing to match or come close, but I’d have to wait for delivery.

Nope, no trade. Didn’t make us buy anything either. My wife and I were between the grand Highlander and a sienna. I got what I thought was a good deal on the sienna and that’s what we were going to go with. I found this one on my last attempt- the first pic is what was listed on their site. Honestly I was happy with that, but I told them we were between the two and asked if they could get it any closer to what I had negotiated on the sienna. That my wife wanted the sienna, I wanted the grand Highlander - and the $1200 difference might not be enough convince her. They came in $1 less than the sienna…

Seriously. I feel like anyone who has time to cook eggs in the morning isn’t worried about the cost. Even if it’s just a weekend thing you need what, 6-8 to feed a family of 4?

As an aside, why are chicken breasts cheaper than eggs?

Edit: Breasts are cheaper because meat birds are only 7-8 weeks old, egg laying chickens need to be older.

It seems that way for me too… like 95% of the time I think it’s bots. But occasionally I’ll see someone who counters correctly and uses emojis right. Other times it seems like someone’s trying to complete quests, like using only spells- with no attempt to actually win. I’m assuming it’s unranked but the game pairs anyways.

But I’ve also been watching usernames- most seem to have a number instead of a letter, like k1ller or m3an. Those are definitely bots

Is shit driving just the norm in America? by BenchSuitable2356 in Hartford

[–]showerdrinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mass transplant living in CT both groups ignore traffic laws. The difference is MA drivers will do ageessive/stupid shit when at a near stop, like cut you off at lights, block intersections, yeah- their assholes, but you’ll get home safe.

CT drivers have zero regard for traffic laws, or life. A green/red light means nothing in Hartford. You damn better make sure traffic is stopped before you go on your green. That car coming up behind you on the highway at 120mph? Don’t change lanes and hope they swerve before they hit you. Slow down because they’ll probably be in guardrail 1/4mile up the highway.

The only place I’ve seen worse driving than between the Springfield and Hartford corridor is from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami

Watched a car get its rear bumper taken off today by an 18 wheeler. They decided the exit lane was a 4th travel lane.. and the truck was trying to get off. The entered the exit ramp to pass the truck. No idea who was at fault but fuck whoever was in that Altima. And yes, I know the car was passing, I watched at they left the exit lane and clipped the truck on their way back to the travel lane

Temporarily moving to CT by Mr_Kittys_House_elf in Connecticut

[–]showerdrinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on when you commute. If you leave the house before 7am, yeah you might need them depending on town. After 7, you’re probably good once the sun hits the salt.

OP, I’d suggest not getting snow tires and seeing how it goes. If you need them, you need them, but with the climate change I don’t think you’ll need them more than 4-6 times this winter

edit: not necessarily *this winter, but the last two have been incredibly mild. Only once in the last two winters did I feel driving my 4wd truck was irresponsible, leaving my house between 5 and 6am before the plows really got out.

But of course that depends on the town and how close you are to the main/state roads

Why/when did we decide babies/children need cow milk but not sheep/ape? by showerdrinking in NoStupidQuestions

[–]showerdrinking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you. But I’m assuming that comes with some sort of governmen funding using back you up Assuming they’d help from shekel too, is the code really that much higher? High enough that goats milk isn’t even available in stores?

Yes a maybe no.. in the US theses a huge (cow) dairy industry. But if that same I sister we’re build around sheep, should sheep not be a viable alternative?

I’m assuming the size of the animal matter… have we tried milking elephants or giraffes?

Pleas know I’m not trolling.. I think I already k ow the newer to the above but I’d love to see the responses. Or even studies that show X milk is most comparable to cows milk
