What I have come across a lot recently is dealers marking a “discount” on a used car but using the new price as a baseline.

In 2006, I bought the new Camry V6 XSE while my dad’s friend bought the SE-R.  We had several debates about who bought the better car, but I can tell you the Toyota held up a lot better than the Nissan.

Dropped FB awhile back, never looked back.  My actual friends and I still keep in touch via other means(and more meaningful).  The so call FB friends, poof, they are gone for good and don’t miss them one bit.

Wait, I thought they took turns riding each other. 

Yes, I am aware.  Those countries also have a very low car ownership rate. 

First world problem.  How about we all go back to picking up our own shit and not pawn it off to someone else? 

imagine the horror when they take over the cafe cart...

Can I get a cup of hot water please?  Nope, don’t need a lid.

If you have the money and can afford this, more power to you.  Look forward to seeing and getting run over by one on the road.

The response from Carmax is BS. Many years ago, my wife and I looked at a Sienna from their Irvine CA location.

I am with you bud, our Odyssey handles our transport of kids, dog and in laws. 

Mother in law is retired and not using her plug in so now I am using it for work on the days I actually drive in, 54 miles round trip in often heavy LA traffic. The other days, I work from home or take the train. I know everyone is not able to do this, but trying to do my part to use less, pay less.

$7,500.  This is the typical markup of any in-stock Subaru at a dealership near me.  Sale person told me there is some room for negotiation, but the avg markup added is typically $3-4K over MSRP. 

Ordered a Subaru Crosstrek in Dec from a dealer in Long Beach, called me three weekends ago the car arrived. Went in on a Saturday with a cashier’s check and car was detailed ready to go within an hour. Can’t speak for “other” dealers, but mine did a pretty darn good job.
