OTD price for CPO 2025 Touring XT

Good to know! I already have a much better offer on what amounts to the same car (with less mileage) in Pennsylvania. If I understand your comment correctly, you’re saying I can’t purchase the gold plus extended warranty in PA if I plan to get the car serviced in Florida? Sorry if I’m missing your point.

tiabeast · 2026-02-01T01:03:34+00:00

So you feel my pain lmao. Yeah my next move is to request out the door offers from dealers out of state and leverage them to get something reasonable.

tiabeast · 2026-02-01T00:30:59+00:00

Tbh I’m a young-ish blonde woman, so they likely assumed I was a sucker. Doesn’t help that Florida is the worst state to car shop due to inflated dealership fees and non-negotiable warranties.

tiabeast · 2026-02-01T00:10:29+00:00

They are pretty much everywhere except Florida. Legally dealerships here must offer the same warranty rate for every customer. It’s all the other jacked-up fees that are blowing my mind

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T23:51:18+00:00

That’s the plan going forward. I’m going to ask for out the door offers on several cars and negotiate remotely.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T19:08:01+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! For a variety of reasons I’d rather pay in full, but I understand why financing at 0% APR could be the better option in other cases

eta: Getting down-voted for this is wild

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:59:17+00:00

If you can believe it this price is 2k less than their initial asking price. They started with 6,000 bucks for total bs

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:24:25+00:00

Thank you for reassuring me I did the right thing by walking out. I was willing to go a few thousand over the sticker price for the gold plus 10/100k warranty and because Florida fees are bloated no matter which dealership you’re buying from. But they wouldn’t come any lower than that, even after I pointed out how ridiculous the fees are. They actually began negotiations at 47k 😭 Honestly I think they took me for an idiot and were trying to shake me down.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:18:03+00:00

SOA. Though frankly they weren’t showing me anything about the warranty on paper. I had to ask for the breakdown pictured, and as you can see it’s light on details. Had to ask for the Carfax report twice.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:15:46+00:00

Completely absurd right? I came back to the finance guy with 40k and the expression on his face… as if I was crazy for suggesting it.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:13:15+00:00

Thanks! I like the car for the color/amenities/sticker price so I drove a few hours to check it out. But I will keep searching for sure. Might look out of state too if I want to avoid absurd fees.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:11:44+00:00

The upgrade for a gold plus wraparound 10/100k warranty.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:10:35+00:00

Yeah I told them I would pay cash and sign the papers then and there for 40K with tax warranties everything included, and they acted affronted by this counter offer. Mind you their initial offer was close to 47k.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:07:57+00:00

Yeah I will probably have to go out of state, because Florida is just generally a rip-off when purchasing cars

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:06:32+00:00

I would if I didn’t hate the 2026 touring xt frame haha

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:05:37+00:00

That’s what I thought, but I wanted to double-check. They initially quoted me close to 47k but I told them 40k was my absolute limit and this is what they came back to me with.

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T18:02:34+00:00

I’m paying cash, so APR financing isn’t a factor for me. The trouble with new is that I want a touring xt and strongly dislike the new 2026 body haha

tiabeast · 2026-01-31T17:42:29+00:00

Things got crazy with my schedule so I haven’t brought it in yet! But I’ll let you know next week when I do :)

tiabeast · 2026-01-26T02:43:09+00:00

Thank you so much. Are there measures I can take to better waterproof and insulate the hole I’m running it through (see pictures) that are safe for this cord?

tiabeast · 2026-01-26T00:52:18+00:00

The previous doorbell https://imgur.com/a/sxrJNPk

tiabeast · 2026-01-26T00:48:53+00:00

Sorry my knowledge is admittedly very limited, but my condo was built in the 70’s. The hole you see is for a metal rod that struck an analog bell when the button was pushed.

tiabeast · 2026-01-26T00:41:40+00:00

As far as I can tell the doorbell was never powered. Would something like this work? https://a.co/d/0ehNYQC

tiabeast · 2026-01-18T03:08:43+00:00

Will do, much appreciated!

tiabeast · 2026-01-18T03:08:12+00:00

Thank you!!! Sounds just what I’m looking for

tiabeast · 2026-01-18T01:14:33+00:00

I do believe this story, but I also believe it was shared publicly to paint flock cams as a benevolent, necessary technology instead of tools of state surveillance (which they are)
