Welcome to Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous. What's currently in your fleet? When is the last time you punched your card (purchased or leased a car/truck/SUV/Motorcycle...)?
2001 Prelude Type SH, 2022 Highlander XLE AWD, 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4Xe, 2023 Toyota Tacoma SR 4WD
The '15 was purchased new March '15. And now I've got the itch. I'm 65 and my old body prefers a luxo-cruiser. My Sales Manager (and neighbor) had one of the first XTSes, and he let me drive it. I thought, wow, someday I'd like to have a car like this for my trips back and forth from Northern Virginia to the Delaware shore each weekend. And that time has come, IMO.
And good luck to you in your truck hunt! Thanks again for the warm welcome.
I still miss my 2012 LaCrosse (PIII).

Went to Home Depot after being on the phone for 20 minutes. Brought in my cell still ringing and showed it to the manager. 3 people answered and each put me back on hold, it was a circus! All she said was, "I'm sorry" and after asking her if that's their standard operating procedure, got the same canned answer..."I'm sorry"! Told her your phone system sucks and it sends a lot of folks elsewhere.
Long story short, can't get one at H D till next week...NEXT WEEK!! I couldn't believe it. The sales guy who sold my kid her appliances told me to go to Lowes or Best Buy to get better service and better selection. So next go to Lowes.
Find the perfect Whirlpool side by side but since it's after 4, it's 7:30 by now, tells me Friday is the earliest. So tired by now, so said sure. Turns out they had put up tomorrow's sale signs a bit early so he says he has to give me the sales price! Store manager comes over and overrides the computer so get my $1599.00 side by side for $1199.00 and it'll be here sometime on Friday. Works for me!
Hell, figured I got my monies worth out of the old GE unit and now, I'll have a smudge proof stainless steel unit with an ice maker in the door, which frees up space in the interior. No more ice trays!! And now will have cubes and crushed ice through the door, and I just love crushed ice in my soft drinks, any drinks for that matter. But seriously G-d, I've had a target on me since the accident in February 2018 and then my health issues then and this year. And now this!! Enough already, I need a break here so please, go "f" with someone else for awhile and please, please, just give me some peace. I've had enough!!!

Pretty car. Just a gut feel, but I’m thinking $28K? Maybe $29K if it’s really clean and there are no dings or scratches.
Good luck. Let us know how things turn out.

I went to a yard sale a couple years ago which had a 1930s monitor top style machine, in immaculate condition. Seller claimed it worked perfectly. If I had the space, I would have bought it, I think they wanted $200 for it.

Ice maker in fridge is already a little wonky sometimes dripping water down the side of the freezer.

20 years in our new house.. Replaced first refrigerator at 10 years. 2nd one had a $500 repair at 8 years, but okay since. I'd guess 10-12 years is about average life.
I wouldn't have paid $500 to repair an 8 year old refrigerator, but it's counter depth, stainless steel, and an easy $2000+ for a comparable replacement. I think I'm ahead after 2.5 years of service on the repair.

The really scary one is that we are still on the original hot water heater.

When I moved into this house, in 2011, I had to buy everything (HUD foreclosure). Refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer. I'm surprised the hot water heater was still there (and it's still working, too, knock on wood). I bought everything used off of Craigslist. The refrigerator (side by side, ice and water in the door) is still working, although I did spend $100 or so on a repair. Stove works great, although very seldom used. The dryer is still working, although I did have to replace the washing machine this year. But after 8 years, I definitely got my money's worth.
The refrigerator cost me $200, the stove $125, the washer and dryer $250. Craigslist is still your best bet for such items (at least in my opinion).
Mostly Home Depot and Lowe's do not stock appliances. Refrigerators, washers and dryers, etc. They have displays on the floor, but no stock. You order, and it gets delivered a few days later. Earlier this year, I went to Home Depot and then Lowes, driving my truck. They both had the washing machine I wanted on the floor, but no stock. No way to "take it home tonight". Which rather p_____ me off, but what are you gonna do?
We decided to pass on the house we were originally thinking of - that one was a large two story (plus basement) with a 4-car garage. Beautiful house (@michaell and @jpp75 saw it), but probably more suitable for our younger family 5 years ago.
We instead have opted for a large ranch style home (in the same neighborhood) - when we looked at this one, it just felt right. It already has a finished basement, so there is plenty of room for the entire family when all the kids are home. But with one graduating college next year, and another going to college in a couple years (and the younger to follow a couple years after that), we like the idea of living on one floor and having the basement available to house kids when needed.
It "only" has a 3-car garage, but that did not give me much heartache. It's still one more than I have now. One thing I really appreciate is the garages are all insulated and finished.
We're also going from a "no-yard" situation to a half-acre lot.
And...last but not least...our current home is not sold yet. But we're all in and prepared to float both houses for a little bit as needed.

Salesman went over the CarFax with me; appears to be private one-owner; I pointed out the fact that the car had been in their possession since November 18, 2018, and had yet to sell. So...
I offered $31K before tax and tags and $799! processing fee. Salesman didn't flinch, but said he doubted the Sales Manager would bite. He didn't. Came back with no counter. Just gave me a spiel about how they price cars, etc. I told him I'd done my research and felt $31K was fair offer to start with. He went back to the Sales Manager.
Came back with $1K off their price IF I was willing to drop the Certification. It's a very nice car. I would like to have this car, but it's not a need. I'll continue my quest.
He said he would call me if there was any movement on this car. Or if he came across another XTS he thought I might like. I thanked him for his time.
