    A little side note - a reporter is looking to talk with someone who sold or traded in a car and bought a truck or SUV within the past month. If you're willing to help, please contact pr@edmunds.com by Friday, February 27, 2015.

    I'm in the "avoid car dealerships because i might accidentally buy a new stickshift Corvette" stage.
    Or a chevy SS stickshift. Or a GMC Canyon stickshift.
    Or Chevy Cruze LS stick - I may buy another one of those.
    Or a volvo XC90 - the new one is awesome - and with automatic transmission.. XC90 is/was/will-be the safest USA production vehicle ever. total safety pioneers, those Volvo moose-test engineers, truly awesome. (I thrashed a few 2004 xc90s at Lime Rock and put plenty of highway miles on one.)

    ok, back to the 'chronic car buyers' forum, AB see ya...

    Too bad there's not a slot for @suydam.

    Wonder how many other buyers recently woke up and said, "I think I'll buy a car today"?

    (and yes, I have been to two dealers recently).

    We are in desperate need of a car, but with a low budget it is almost impossible to get one. We need one "yesterday". Beware of Craigslist-full of scams. Used car dealers are little better :( Due to a number of ridiculous experiences, I am considering writing an article about what we have been going through. Research, research, research!

    If you are under 35 and recently bought a car to accommodate your growing family, please email PR@edmunds.com before Monday, March 30. 2015 to be interviewed.
