'17 Chevy Volt Premiere
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
1. $20/mo x 36 months = $720 savings
2. Larger car = more carrying capacity when going to/from school
3. Larger car = more compliant ride on the rough roads of I-95
4. Not a huge MPG penalty
5. Lower insurance costs?
Don't get me wrong - I like the 3. I just think the Camry is a better choice in this situation.

Sales manager from Honda called today. I toldcsalesguy last night we had a few more to drive, and potentially would look to buy Saturday. SM was all "what can I do to get you to skip other places and buy accord today?" I almost told him to meet Camry quote. Not that I expect he could, but would be fun to hear what he said!

They have $3000 dealer lease cash plus what appears to be an additional $1500 bonus cash on them. Residuals are reasonable - I was seeing 0 down leases out here on an SE 4Motion with Appearance for $260/month including 9.8% tax.
I'm with the 3 myself.

We liked the accord sport. It at least has done style. And better seats.

I found a couple of deals for my neighbor that seems pretty good also .
2015 Altima, S with drivers and display pk, rear view camera, 6way pw seat. $179 3yr 36k 1k out of pocket includes 1st month pymt.

2015 Camry LE...................... $179 36/ 12k
@stickguy Camry SE lease for $189 is not possible with the dealers I called around my area. ( that is truly a great deal) if dealer was not baiting him.
I'd love to adopt a 18yr old and lease him/ her that Camry.

It's nothing I regret with regard to my purchase, but it's not too often I'm on a rough road for extended amounts of time.

I generally hate to have mismatched tires on a car, but two of the tires, for some reason, were still at 7/32nds, so had a lot of life in them. So, I just replaced two of the tires.
Anyhow, apparently one of her rims is bent - the tire shop said it wasn't all that bad, but that happens to be the tire that seems to be losing some pressure lately. In any case, I think I'm gonna start browsing craigslist for some new wheels for her car. Not a fan of the stock wheels anyway. So that's fun little quest.
On another wheel note, I sold the extra set of wheels/tires that came with the ZHP we recently acquired. Not much, but got $350 for them - so when I offset that with the cost of the car, I feel like I got a better deal!

If I match up on wheel size, offset and bolt pattern, is there anything else I need to consider on proper fitment?
2024 Audi Q8 e-tron - 2024 Corvette - 2024 BMW X5 - 2023 Tesla Model Y
bolt pattern will be the same. so just use the calculator at miata.net if you are changing wheel size. other than that, yes, offset is key.

drove a Camry SE. nice long drive, variety of roads. It was OK. nothing special to me. But I would not be riding in the (not comfortable) passenger seat. Kid drove.
at the end, as we were driving off, I got her feedback. She hated it. wasn't comfortable, didn't like pedals, among other things. Said she would rather keep the old car! So, I don't think I need to push it on her, regardless of the deal.
then drove the 3, figuring it was going to get her excited, and I would go with it. so she drove a i touring around. at the end, got her feedback. Did not really like it that much. Found it to be kind of small, and did not like the interior. also a bit loud. Not bad, but not what she was expecting.
I think what tipped the scales was having tried out (and gotten used to) mid size cars.
also sat in a Legacy. she still likes those (it is nice). I doubt it will ever come close to the budget price, but will find out tomorrow. will also reach back out to the Honda SM, and tell him if he wants to try to sell me, go for it.
so, the 2 great deals are not going to be taken now. slim chance an Accord follows us home Friday. But most likely, I will just defer until the 4th of July sales, and go hard there (I have no life anyway). In the interim, I will clean up the Volvo and work on selling it. And will test a few more options (maybe Altima, another that she really does not like, but has never driven, and a snooze.
good thing I really don't need it for another couple of months!

ticked every box, but typical of Honda/Acura, missing one thing. No BLIS. add that, and it would be perfect for me. Oh, and a spare tire (same deal on the ILX). I did peek, and positive in the ILX you can drop a spare in, and 99% sure on the TLX. that would be a must have.

Have you considered the Kia Optima? Some pretty decent lease cash on those. EX trim might have all the bells and whistles you both want.
Same with the 2015 Mazda 6 - now that the 16's are available, I suspect you could find a dealer willing to give you a killer price on that.
And yes, the timeline works in your favor. No rush, gives you plenty of time to look at and drive all the candidates.

The Outback is scheduled for its first service a week from Saturday, just in time for our road trip to Sedona the following day. First service is on the house - not sure what it includes, but I do have one extra request for them.
Apparently, there was a bit of a rush to PDI the car, and the wheels weren't fully cleaned. Lots of residue from the tape used to cover them. I'll ask them to clean it up nicely.
The voucher I have states that either 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil can be used ... can someone tell me the difference?
Road trip will be broken up with an overnight stop in Santa Fe - just under 400 miles on day 1, and just over 400 miles on day 2. Should be able to do each leg on a single tank of gas.
Really need some warm weather - we've had exactly 3 days of sunshine in the month of May. I feel like I've been teleported to the Pacific NW. The only positive from it has been that the delivery business has been good this past month.

I decided to have her drive an Altima too since that is the other cheap midsize with the range of a camel. She does like the optima. So might look at that.

I drove the Mazda6 and Mazda3 back to back, and there is a notable improvement in overall ride quality with the 6, so that could be very compelling for you and your daughter. Naturally, it also feels roomier in the interior. Knowing all that, I still went with the 3 'cause I thought it was a bit more nimble.

When I'm ready to go back to the automatic, the TLX will definitely be on my list.
2024 Audi Q8 e-tron - 2024 Corvette - 2024 BMW X5 - 2023 Tesla Model Y
But, I have my mind set on getting out of the current car payment situation and am pretty determined to do so.
We'll see.
2024 Audi Q8 e-tron - 2024 Corvette - 2024 BMW X5 - 2023 Tesla Model Y
$235 is no Camry price, but in the big scheme, $50 month won't break the bank! That's for the I touring. Bigger, faster, more comfy, and power seats. All good features.
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
So, doing that, $235/month for a Mazda6i Touring sounds like a great deal for a much more dynamic and pleasing car. Not to mention the additional features on that Mazda6 - BLIS, leather seating, etc.
I assume that is for a 2015? Or by chance is it for a new 2016?
It does come with those 19" wheels though - I know how you feel about those low profile tires.
