Ended up with a Ford Edge

I ended up buying a Ford Edge titanium with 23k miles on it for $32,500… definitely a little higher than probably a non covid time… but it was certainly offset and then some by the truck

The price of a new truck is so cost prohibitive unless you’re making big bucks. Some on the lot today we’re early over 90k

It’s a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Z71… I bought it with 68k miles for $27000… I traded it in today with 79k miles for $31000.

They gave me 4K more for my trade than I paid foe the truck in February 2020. Absolutely absurd. Never a better time to get rid of a good truck than right now.

I got them to actually beat the 3.19% I got through Bank of America. They were able to get me 2.64%.

They would not move on the price of the vehicle I was buying… they were prepared to to let me walk. The truck I was trading in is in excellent condition and is fully loaded with a bunch of extras. They originally offered me towards the lower end of kbb and I said no way… I ended up getting a bit more than KBB value for the truck:.. I had a number in my head I wanted to get too, and I got to it, just not how I envisioned it happening. The salesman said if I wanted to buy new their would probably be more wiggle room than used right now

So I’m at the dealer right now…. Love the car. I haven’t revealed I have financing yet. But I did find out they will not do business with any bank that isn’t in their “dealer network” or whatever. I know already that Bank of America is in that network; but that’s pretty crazy. You basically can’t come in with financing from your local credit union, they’ll turn it down.

Yup. I won’t hesitate. I don’t need to do a deal, I have a working vehicle. I have kbb for my vehicle and the prospective vehicle printed out. I know what mines worth, and what there’s is worth

Thanks. 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.

So I got approved for auto financing through Bank of America. 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?

They’ve lost their bloody minds over there in Australia. Crikey. The hilarious thing is, these intense lockdowns are doing nothing for them.

Is there a good enough chance of appreciable rain tomorrow for me to put some fertilizer down?

Looks like we may get a dry day here

Fake win.

.40” so far… looks like more chances too

It has been… clouding up now

Unbearably miserable out. Went to the garden center at Home Depot for a few things and came out sweating like a pig.

I live directly behind the dog track. The only thing it’s used for now is creating a ton of dust, and dumping questionable materials in the back.

Beer was ice cold… just talking about how many southeast ma specials we’ll have this winter. Going to be a lot of sad folks NW and in and up.
