Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Well, fingers crossed, we found a suitable replacement for the Macan.
We visited the Audi dealer over our lunch hour. We were particularly interested in service loaners that they could pull from the service fleet to sell. The only A5 Sportback they had available was a black over brown, which was pretty low on the color preference list for my wife. The salesperson claimed that was the only one they had available from the loaner fleet at this time - but I pushed a bit and mentioned that we had seen a couple others when we were browsing their lot on Sunday, and if he could just check to see if any of them were eligible for sale.
Well, sure enough, there were two Prestige models with appealing colors, one in Manhattan Gray with black leather, and another in Scuba Blue with the gray interior, both of which could be pulled from the fleet for sale.
My wife's absolute first choice was Manhattan Gray with the gray interior - but her stronger preference is that exterior color, so that's the one.
So...2018 Audi A5 Sportback, Manhattan Gray over black leather. Prestige trim, S-line sport package, S-line wheel package, driver assistance package, ventilated front seats and cold weather package. So very loaded, offered at about $10k off MSRP. The car has about 5k miles and it will be CPO'd.
That was consistent with another deal we were intrigued with in Dallas (yes, I was contemplating another roadtrip there for another car), and the trade offer on the Macan matched exactly the three other offers we had received, so figured that was all the money.
So the only thing left is that they offered a loaner for my wife to take home tonight so she can drive her son around to make sure "he approves."
Let's hope he does.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars & Conversations
I think more and more unmarked cop cars are no longer strippers with hubcaps. I actually saw a black unmarked Ford F-150 4wd complete with the big knobby tires pull a speeder over the other day. I've seen other unmarked cop cars with full wheel covers and the like.
Not surprised about rising suicide rate here. PTSD from all our military adventures. Guys in their 40's and 50's getting laid off before they are fully vested in any retirement benefits and because a younger person is generally cheaper. General attitude in the US that as you age you become a person of less worth. Combine all that with the rapid technology shifts impacting the economy and we are bound to get a lot of fallout unfortunately.

Re: Roush Ford F150 - how do you negotiate & lease a $15,000 dealer added Roush package ?
First looking at the Ford Raptor and how super expensive it is, instead I found a dealer that also sells Ford F150 XLT upgraded with $15,000 worth of Roush parts (exhaust, seats, Fox suspension, LED fogs, etc).That's going to kill any lease deal.
Has anyone actually negotiated a Roush F150 or leased one ?
My dealer says that the truck (base vehicle) can be leased like a normal deal but the Roush parts would have to be paid for in full.
Anyone deal with a Roush F-150?
$15K will add over $400/mo. to a 36 month payment.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars & Conversations
This is Lily. She turned 15 this month. Like Gigi, she had a bunch of teeth removed recently. Unfortunately, she is starting to exhibit some issues with balance, so she is at the pet hospital and will get tests tomorrow to figure out what is going on. Wife and I have decided that we will not subject her to surgery, so we are hoping we can treat whatever is wrong with her with medication to preserve her quality of life.

This got me thinking. If I had a 3rd row, could I get my wife to sit back there?
