anyway, in the middle of no power, trying to work from home without internet (or, power!), and normal life, I got bombarded suddenly with interest in the Volvo. Not sure why, since I last renewed the ad last Friday. So, just my luck as to the timing.
one guy showed up today, and took it away. A large wad of cash combined with my being hungry, tired, and sweaty, and I caved and went a few hundred below my rock bottom line. But, it is gone.
Now, I get to find out if it was a good idea or not, because at some point in the next 4-6 weeks, I need a buying story. otherwise in Mid August, the wife and I become a 1 car family. And that ain't happening!

but yes, if you want a bargain, the middle of Armageddon is a good time to do it!

July 4th weekend may be a good time to pick up a car. Remind us again what the short list consists of?

pretty sure I swung back to just keeping the Sonata, and finding something not too expensive on a 3 year lease for the daughter. timing works out the best on that plan. Besides, i don't have the budget right now to get myself something fancier than the Hyundai!
Mazda 3i G and Sonata Sport are probably the top 2 options. I may try to sneak the Camry in again (hey, might get an XSE in under budget!). I can investigate the Legacy, but probably still out of price range.
I'll shoot out a few emails tomorrow, and maybe look a bit Saturday. But doing something over the 4th is a good bet. Would rather not wait until just before she is going back in mid-August.
or, I never get around to it, and she takes the Hyundai, "forcing" me to go and get something!

So, the numbers you got from us a few weeks ago (June?) should still be valid next weekend.

(Also kind of shocked any bank would finance a vehicle with 140,000 miles at a reasonable interest rate, but that's a story for another time...)

Seems like an easy step to plug your phone into the OBDII and do stuff. After typing in your VIN and a 16 digit security code, lol.
Good point. Tesla was profitable for a short time. I think it was a Thursday.
drove a Jetta Sport (well, she drove, I rode). we both drove an ILX. really liked the Jetta. like a GLI with the 1.8l powertrain. A good compromise. Navi interface looked like a Garmin circa 2008, but at least it had nav. Hard to get a real strong price though (they are actually pretty thin supply, seem popular). Certainly a contender.
the ILX? Nice to sit in. quick. Did not really enthuse either one of us. Probably just used to the Sonata, so it seemed a bit small and rough? We did sit in a TLX> that was really nice.
scoped out a Sonata sport with tech & premium. Screaming deal on one of those. Just having trouble getting over the idea of 2 same year sonatas in the fleet. But bang for buck, it has it (even if not "exciting").
sat in the Mazdas again. decided the 3 is just a bit too small for this application. the 6 though, that was nice. plenty of room, nice interior. Huge trunk.
so, at the moment, seem to have a working list (to be discussed today, to try and come down to a winner) of:
-Jetta sport - smaller but big enough, a little pricey per month.
-Mazda 6i touring - sporty, roomy, plenty of features (but have to add Navi), good value
-Sonata sport premium/tech - loaded with features, roomy, good highway cruiser, great bang for buck.
-Accord sport - pricey, low on feature content.
-Legacy premium - most expensive. solid car, but seems to be falling out of favor.

putting all this together, and factoring in the budget (shot to hell, but I am still trying for some sense of rationality with the revised one!), the choice is down to the Mazda 6, Jetta sport, and Sonata sport. That assumes she gets the new one. still may hand down my car. She really does like the Sonata, just has an aversion to having the same car! That does go against all my principles too of course.
an interesting set of options, all right about the same monthly lease cost of $250/mo. All should do great for 3 years of 8 hour commutes to school, and all the running around while there. Too bad she just hated the Camry, and I didn't want to force it on her, but the difference in price, in the big picture, is not all that much.
Most likely the Jetta will be first knocked off the list. Nice, but not quite as nice as the other 2 (which are both cheaper, roomier, and have more stuff on them)

345 bhp, AWD, drift mode... A friend of mine is at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend; Ken Block is there and will be wringing out the RS for the crowd.

I loved the 6 when I was shopping. Still sometimes second guess myself about the need for the space I decided with but I love the 5.
the 6 is a really nice car. If we end up with one on Tuesday, I doubt we will be unhappy with it. Though who knows which one of us ends up with it!
that is pretty much the final choice. The only decision left to make is whether I want to get it for her, or just let her take the Sonata and strike out on my own.

The 6 we landed on is actually a touring, with the moonroof/XM package. That, plus adding on the XM functionality, pretty much maxes out the budget, and is more then well enough equipped.
I could get one and let her take the Sonata. I would not be giving up much. A few gadgets (heated/AC seats and heated steering wheel mostly), and some glass acreage on the roof. But a lot slicker to drive overall.
It will also be an automatic. will make it much easier to share among the family as needed. I can bit the bullet. Maybe the next one will be a stick?
still, once I know that Sonata is heading south in August, there is no rush to get another car, and I can greatly expand my horizons. Which is a nice way of saying my wife will be filing for divorce sometime in October.
