snazzy car
Yes, I think I could be quite satisfied....no more wondering how I am going to get a backup camera.

The really good news is, Mrs D hasn't really said "NO". I think she would prefer I keep this one....but, might be on the fence....I am sure she would like a backup camera and blind spot mirrors.

Just wondering, 2 of mine went last year and I got 4 new ones.........glad I did, the new tires don't slip in the rain and the car drives and handles better. If I didn't do it then I would probably have to do it now anyway.

at least if you get it, you can subtract $600 from the net cost, not having to do the BU camera on the antique.

Probably AWD. Supposedly one tire with a different tread depth screws up the system over time. Never had an AWD vehicle so I can’t be sure that’s true or just a scheme to sell tires.

But yes, things like tires and batteries need occasional replacement and usually at the worst possible time. Luckily I was able to shop around for the tires to get the best deal I could. ANd the Golf does drive so much better.

I have written to the dealer to get a ballpark figure for a trade-in. I thought, if I can do it for $12k all in I think I would jump at it. I kind of like a white exterior more, but the red feels good, and this one seems to be calling out to me.
It is a long hard drive to one of the busiest places in Tampa

then I drove a 2016ish one. Completely different car really. More complicated user interface (I gave up on stuff like playing with the radio) but way more goodies. felt a lot different too. I think smoother, much lighter steering, stuff like that. It has been a couple years but I think that driving the newer one took the older one off my list! But a new enough one was out of price range so I passed entirely. I did not quite trust the new style soon to be out of warranty.

One big problem is Mrs D is going home this Fri to next Thurs (Toga Parties here!!!! ), and this will be a busy week so I don't think we will have a chance to buy a new car.
Oh yeh, Home Depot says they will call Tuesday to set a day to pick up dented dishwasher and deliver another one.

I've been out looking at cars to get an idea which ones fit well (front seat) because I turn in the S450 in 10 months. I was shocked to find many of the cars are too low (my head hits the inside of the roof even with the drivers seat in lowest position). Getting in and out of car with my bad back is difficult. Also, rear and side windows very narrow. I am seriously thinking about the Genesis G80. I just hope the driver's seat is comfortable. I know it has all the nanny tech features I want.
I've gotten very used to driving a big car with the use of sophisticated technology to assist in maneuvering, parking and backing up. I depend on my rear view mirrors first - but the technology has assisted me in avoiding many potentially dangerous predicaments.
I would suggest that you and Mrs. D take the new car home for a few days to get used to the feel, visibility, etc. Most dealers will provide customers with a demo for a day or two for just that reason.

If I get the G80, I will lease it. They have some great lease deals. I also like their extended bumper-to-bumper warranty and free maintenance for 3 years.

Another car I think could be a great one to buy would be a 2016 E 350. Mostly driven by older drivers, excellent vision, would have most of the devices.....only a 4 cylinder available in the U.S. but I could live with that. The depreciation is huge, so could probably get a nice low mileage one at a good price. Maybe even an estate sale bargain! One of the best cars for comfort and vision I have been in.

I had mono-vision...one eye far sighted, the other near sighted when they did the lens implant.
At the time, my insurance only paid for scalpel. My surgeon actually said he prefers to use a scalpel as he has more control.
You’ll be fine!!!!!!

One thing I really have on my side........I don't need that car and if I walk out I have a car that I am still very happy with.

A shady character won’t want to do it that way so there’s your red flag.

I wouldn't want to deal with randoms in a place like FL either.
Talked to sales guy. Sounds so slick.......I know you would love to get into the beautiful Designo Red Metalic 2016 Mercedes etc etc....and, btw....my manager really wants to sell some cars this month....yada yada....
Have an appointment for tomorrow afternoon....really tight schedule and very heavy traffic in that area.

When you get to the age of the dreaded/hated boomers, you will take this point of view for granted. Or, maybe not -- unicorns may rule.
Wait until New Year’s Eve to make your offer if you shop the dealer and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. My verified experience is that dealers have a mark up of about 30% over cost so use that as your guide. My buddy got 25% off just for the asking on NYE.
