Re: Car buying
Just requested a vehicle be shipped to my local Carmax for me to test. Can you tell me what you like about them?Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 11:44 am I would travel for a CarMax deal, other than that... I ain't letting the dealership know I'm traveling.

Re: Car buying
Did you purchase it beforehand or just show up for a test drive pretending to be nonchalant like you hadn’t just flown 1k miles?blundercrush wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 6:26 pm I flew down to San Diego to buy a 911 because at the time they were ~5-10k cheaper in Southern CA than in WA. I wouldn't go that far for a normal car.

Re: Car buying
You can always get f'd buying any car, anywhere. Oh for sure. I just meant vis-a-vis the Carmax model or typical upselling tactics. So you'll have to lie about having options. I do have other options, so no lying needed. This particular one is just the best one that has popped up in the last ~4 mon...

Re: Car buying
I would travel for a CarMax deal, other than that... I guess I'm not seeing how i can get f'd going to a BMW dealership to buy a used Toyota truck. Like, they can't upsell me on an M61i or whatever, or even try to sell me on a different truck, since I can already see their inventory. And also, I re...

Re: Car buying
Take note that I haven't bought a car in 20+ years... Is haggling still a thing? Considering that I'll be purchasing a ~$35k vehicle with cash (no kids, suckas), what's a reasonable figure to try to bargain down to? (Also the specific one I'm looking at has a 'Good' deal rating already*.) I will hav...

Entertaining myself thinking of the exact moment when Snyder came to the realization. Like was he watching the movie and expecting the pivot to happen at any time and then got all the way to the credits and was like WTF? Or did he realize it earlier and just fumed throughout it? Fun stuff!

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Yeah I gotta pay 2.6% on card transactions. I eat a few grand a year subsequently (and that doesn't include Etsy sales whose total fees come to around 10%/sale). So yeah, if you want to support small biz then pay with cash/check.

Re: Presidential Election 2024
I think it's a fantastic idea. Biden sounds like Einstein when compared to Trump trying to answer an actual question. Hillary even more so, but he gained at the debates against Hillary. Because it's such a farce. It has zero to do with policy or ideas, and of course it will be presented to us like ...

Been looking at Autotrader and Carmax, and occasionally Carvana (seems unlikely I'd use it though). Am I missing any other big listing sites?

Aways thought the franchise was a little too goofy, although the OG had enough charm / cultural cache to get by (and some good quotes!). May give the new ones a whirl when I need something mindless.
