The last few times I bought a car, I decided what I wanted, and got a pre-approved loan from my credit union. I picked out the car I wanted, told them what I was willing to pay, and signed the contracts. Dropped the check from the credit union off to them the next day and picked up the car. When the dealer tried to discuss payment amounts I told him not to worry about it.

My Credit Union now has a car buying service, and I am thinking about trying that next time I buy something.

with sites like Edumnds, you know the invoice price for the car and the extras, as well as all of the dealer charges. There's no reason anyone should ever pay anything over invoice these days.

That's only the tip of the iceberg. Get into factory to dealer rebates and incentives, you can really get below invoice.

And whoever said walk out when payments come up, I agree 100%. The salesman's job is to show mr the cars I want to see. I already know my range. WTF am I answering his questions for? He's there to answer mine.

maybe you walk around with $75K in your pocket.

If I'm understaning your choice of number correctly, having $75K tied up in cars is insane for the vast majority of people, no matter what kind of 'deal' it may have been.

I was just joking. please tell me it was a buggatti. Ill be your best friend. Also remove the stick from your ass.

It was indeed a VW and the stick was on the floor. First six speed manual transmission VW offered in the US actually, one of the reasons I had to get it, I was a bit of a VW nut at the time. Aw heck I still am.

Hyundai has come a long one, I'd gladly own one.

Exactly.

I own my second one and love it....fantastic car.

Great quality....great price...great warranty.

I prefer to spend my money on more important things than overpriced cars.....like saving for my kid's education....saving for my retirement....nice home....etc

Count me in as someone who owns a Hyundai as well. I am in car sales and work for a corporation that owns every major car brand and allows me to get the best possible deal on any car I want.

Hyundai is the best bang for the buck out there and anyone with a clue is well aware of this.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
