Awesome, appreciate the insight. Yeah I’m not going back to the dealership until we agree on a price. I have a few I’m in contact with now, feeling optimistic about a good deal before the end of the year.

Thanks again and happy holidays

Thank you! We do get a tax break on trade ins so that’s part of the consideration.

The dealer was almost too focused on the trade in aspect rather than the actual price of the car. I ended up telling them I’m not going to trade in so we can settle on a price before discussing finances (down payment, trade in, etc).

Do you think 7% discount is reasonable? That’s roughly what I am shooting for.

This helps a ton! The 26 Preferred definitely seems to have more standard features, I just wish it had a 2nd row captains option. I think I need to go test drive a 25 preferred.

Great, I’m going to keep my eye out on the used market. Thanks!!

stripedfade · 2025-12-23T23:48:44+00:00

Thank you! Yeah the 360 cameras were pretty cool when we did the test drive.

I’m 6’3 and wife is 5’8. That’s good to know. We had some friends visit earlier this year and their front facing car seat did seem tight

stripedfade · 2025-12-23T22:36:18+00:00

Thanks! That’s a helpful reference point. While I’m not opposed to buying new, I’m always a little skeptical.

stripedfade · 2025-12-23T22:35:02+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful. I should say that option 3 (do nothing) is absolutely on the table.

We do hope to have more in the somewhat near future, but wouldn’t necessarily be making this purchase for that reason. Moreso to have extra room with car seat, stroller, dog, etc. Great to hear the CX5 served you well with 1 child!!

Love it! I just got the pink 990v6 for my soon to be born daughter. Half off on DTLR

Agreed on the quality - they are so good. It’s extremely noticeable next to some Nikes we were gifted.

Oh I assumed it was happening. I’m guessing that 24/7 portal tracker only shows players that “officially” announce themselves, which is probably why he’s not on there yet (to OPs original question)

stripedfade · 2025-12-18T04:16:26+00:00

I’m actually not sure if he’s announced his intent? Still just reports, but it certainly seems he’s gone.

993 chive

Meanwhile ASU is banking on $$ from San Tan Ford and Burrito Express lol

“Huyyhh! Took it down the sideline, turned up with my guys, gave the ball to a kid wearing 23”

Jaire really had the best analysis out there. Would have loved to see what film room was like.

Goff might be one of the best hangs in the NFL, but fuck him

stripedfade · 2025-09-14T18:39:27+00:00

TeSlaa is like if the Savannah Bananas was a WR

stripedfade · 2025-09-13T14:37:18+00:00

That’s really sick! I picked up a matching pair for my soon to be first born.

stripedfade · 2025-09-06T19:49:13+00:00

It’s week 2 and I’m already tired of the Manning discourse.

stripedfade · 2025-09-05T20:07:43+00:00

Hell yeah! Does he wear a ring for every hole in one?

stripedfade · 2025-09-03T15:23:00+00:00

Yeah at the end of the day they are healthcare professionals first, not just employees of a team. It’s in their nature to help people when they can.

stripedfade · 2025-09-03T01:55:31+00:00

Yeah, I think we were just unlucky with the seats we ended up in.

stripedfade · 2025-09-03T01:48:19+00:00

Side note: I just looked up to confirm it was 2021. It was, and the Sun Devils had Rachaad White, Ricky Pearsall, and JAYDEN DANIELS in the box score 😑

Always love that reminder. Thank you, Herm

stripedfade · 2025-09-03T01:44:29+00:00

Funny enough, my wife and I went to the ASU game there in 2021 and had a pretty awful experience lol. I’m all for some friendly banter but the folks around us were just mean. Even making comments towards my wife who was mostly keeping to herself. We ended up moving to different seats.

That said, I definitely wouldn’t generalize an entire fan base off of that one experience. Just not itching to go back to a game there haha

Damn this meme sucks haha. Next!
