Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Just got back from the BMW test drives. I drove 2 of them....a 330i and a 340i. No surprise, liked both. Typical BMW...Good handlers, steering was communicative, brakes were up-to-snuff. 330i wasn’t bad.....a little gruff in the drivetrain dept, but really quite fine. Automatic was good. Lots of new tech that I’d never seen before in a BMW. Interesting. Would have to spend more time with it to really give a thumbs up or down.You seem to really like cars that are unreliable, and dealerships that don't seem to care about your problems.
The 340i reminds me a lot of the Stinger in the way it handles and “goes”. The downside? $60K+. That’s over my $50K threshold.
Bottom line....not any colors I care for in either flavor. Why, oh why do dealerships think customers only want black interiors?
I’m liking these new turbo 4 cyl cars....a lot more than I thought I would.
Tomorrow? Tesla.
And yes @breld , I am having fun. I’m pretending I’m you.
Oh yeah, I guess the “cost” for using the GFs car, even though I filled it up from empty this a.m., is I had to take her to dinner. WTH?! Actually, she’s getting a kick out of my daily shopping routine, too (although, she can’t understand why she’s working while I’m shopping).
Have you considered an Alfa Romeo Giulia?

I believe there are just 2 manufacturers of CVTs. Fischer Price and Hasbro (using their ever-popular Play-Doh).
Who makes the tranny on these cars?

I have a confession to make. I kinda like My Mom's 2020 RX350.

Just sent the PoA fedex back to Vroom.
No turning back now. Haha. Pretty big savings, I’d say.
We did pay $2500 at signing, so if you break that down, it would be $486 spread out over the next 7 payments. So you could look at it as more like $1214 equity, plus $1k or so for tires and $395 dispo and any damages they want to bring up. We’ll save on the payments probably until the Fall unless she falls in love with something else. So another potential $1400 there. About $4k extra in our pockets all in all.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
I like the range you are showing in your hunt. A hero we need, but don't deserve.I4 price, that yellow one I test drove was the 6 cyl. The sticker wasn’t in the window, but had a $5K off sign in the seat.BTW.....the Supras around these parts can be bought somewhere between $42.5K-$43K. Plenty of stock and colors!Is that for the 4-banger or the I6?
That’s a whole lot of “HOOT” for the money!
Volvo was an XC40 Polestar.

Re: I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!
I remember back in the 1980's, some county, or perhaps even just a city, in Virginia, went with Volvo police cars. It was in the newspapers. The people in charge decided to get all tree-huggy and said they would not consider a Ford or GM product because both companies had some kind of ties to nuclear power. Chrysler did not, but they said they didn't trust Mopar's reliability, so they decided to go with Volvo.
Some time later though, the truth came out that they were in bed with one of the local Volvo dealers, somebody got bribed, and, politics as usual...

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Let the shopping begin. I don’t need much of a reason. Making bank on a car that I’ve used for a year and a half for only insurance and gas, and pocketing a few greenbacks in the process makes this a whole lot more fun.
Was impressed with a Bronco I rode in a few weeks ago. Going to look at those today. Probably drop by the Volvo store, too.
