I have the letter they say to print out so the dealership can use it. Im looking at a vehicle tomorrow. Should I without the information that I am already approved? Or come right out with it? Deal for the car and only the car. Don’t talk trade or financing. Just deal for the new car. Once you get the price your looking for, then deal the trade. Hit them with the financing last. They want to finance it so they can make a half a point or more. If they know upfront they won’t get the financing, they’ll make it up on the price. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not. Big hints, car dealers can give you 1500 less without a hit to them, don't sign up for fancy waxing, car protection stuff. Get a great warranty package and tell them you want free oil changes for the life of the loan. Always always walk out and say you will get back to them. Do your research !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking at a Ford Edge titanium. My commute with my new gig just tripled, so I can’t keep the gas guzzling truck. I usually pass on all warranties. My brother worked at a dealership as a mechanic, and he said they just aren’t worth it; as they don’t end up covering what people thing they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Yeah. Extended warranties are crap. Might as well buy lottery tix with the money. Good luck. Both in the car shopping and the new gig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important thing is don't let them rush you and don't settle. If they start effing you around just leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 2 hours ago, WhitinsvilleWX said: Not taking about the UK. I couldnt care less about them. They used the Astra Zeneca vax mostly. It’s crap. In the US unvaxed are driving the increased cases. I know you’re an anti covid vaxer. So be it. But numbers don’t lie. Unvaxed are the majority of people getting it right now in the US. The problem with the anti vax folks is the more the virus spreads, the more it mutates. The more it mutates, the bigger the chance a mutant emerges that is truly vax resistant. And that’s a problem. Not sure why people don’t just get the damn shot. I truly don’t. Dr. House knows. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our washing machine (and dryer) are from 1996. We just replaced our oven that was 25 years old. Our first refrigerator was still in good shape at age 18 when we replaced it due to size. I doubt our new fridge and stove last anywhere near that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitinsvilleWX Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I usually buy an extended warranty, but never at the dealer when I buy the vehicle. I get an after market. My wife and I both put at least 25k a year on our respective vehicles. We keep a car for 8 years and trade one every 4 so we dont have 2 payments. So that many miles per year, the extended does pay. The POS GMC Acadia we traded last year was in the shop for one thing or another all the time. The extended saved me a few thousand over the life of that piece of crap. My Lexus on the other hand hasn’t been in the shop once since I bought it new in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just recently purchased a GE package at Yale. This is the washer. We will have it stacked with the Dryer. After doing our research GE has the best repair history of all the major brands. We also went thru Yale since they do all the service if you ever have any issues. https://www.yaleappliance.com/laundry/full-size/front-load-washers/GFW850SPNRS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 When you go into the little room with the sweaty sales manager, it's best to put him on edge by aggressively meeting his gaze, cutting him off right as he tries to speak, and simply stating, "I WANT EVERYTHING" in a low growl. Don't settle for anything less than the following: Three coats of undercoating Paint protection Separate 5, 10, 15 year warranties Free oil changes Three sets of floormats Double running boards (need to have a spare) Wheel locks Rain visors for all windows Ground-effect LEDs Body trim kits Medical insurance through the dealership Rear parkbench spoiler Upgraded 22"-24" powder coated rims Truck bed liner (get it even if it isn't a truck) Bed tonneau cover Upgraded leather interior Free carwashes for the rest of your life Limo tint for all windows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Don't get me started on washer and dryers. But bought extended warranties and so far in 3 years 4 different repairs, 2 on each. Didnt cost me anything but time waiting for repair man sucked. We often foster puppies and washing and drying cloth pee pads is a must. Otherwise its only us 2 and in the summer its only tees shorts underwear and towels for me, women well we all know... lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delta could be more effective at breaking through..but nothing is suggesting the MRNA vaccines aren't doing their job. Here's another - I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the last sentence, given the age of those infected. A Cape Cod nursing home has reported 33 cases of Covid. Fortunately, all have been vaccinated and have no or mild symptoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
