We ended up getting an Acura TLX yesterday, 2k below value. Also got about a grand more for my car than what I valued it at. All in all, I'm glad this is over. Just need the bank to finish up its paperwork and we can take possession of it.

Congrats!  Enjoy the new ride.  I will be car shopping in fall.

I might get used if $20k difference over 15k miles.

Check him out when you're ready.  I got my c300 for 18k less than new with only 10,000 miles on it.  Bought a saab 9-3 from there several years ago too. The price he lists is the price which I kind of like so if you test drive it and want it it takes like 25 minutes to buy the car. If you need time to think he'll hold it for like 100 bucks.  He will show you the carfax too he doesn't sell anything without a completely clean carfax.  Only thing is he doesn't finance but I got a killer rate from truliant because I was paying less than 90% of the nada even with a loss on my trade in.

Absolutely. My wife likes to drive it and loves the color. The only regret I might have is taking the 4 cylinder over the V6, BUT I got the 4 for roughly the same price as the V6 with 20k fewer miles on it, so I feel pretty good about it. It still drives well and has plenty of zip. Tech package.

If you wanna go broke on maintenance, buy a German luxury car. MB, BMW, Audi they'll all bleed you dry. Buy them with a warranty or don't buy them. Volvo is Swedish but it's on that list too.

My benz will be gone before the warranty runs out,  for sure.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
