The vehicle price on Truecar was $15,211 before taxes and tag. The guy left did the math and came back with a price over $19,300!! I about flipped out! Told him his numbers made no sense. Then he shows me all the extra fees they have. Window etching, seal coating, nitrogen in the tires. I said no, all I want to pay is the Truecar price plus the taxes and the tag. Their regular dealer fee was already in there from what he said. Either way, it wasn't worth it.
There was another Hyundai store a few doors down. Figured, what the hell, let's give this one more shot. The kid didn't want to go all the way back to the other Hyundai place as she felt they were a bit too sleezy. So, went to this other Hyundai place and said if you can match or beat the other offer, in the color she wants and with the door edge guards, we're buying right now. Goes to see his manager, comes back and asks for her hospital i d which is at home. He said, go home and get me a copy and we'll do the deal. They beat the other Hyundai store, so we got the SE with door edge guards which we'll have to go back for but we got a "We Owe You" form detailing the door edge guards. They also threw in the 5K, 10K & 15K oil changes.
Took a bit for them to o get the vehicle. It's beautiful, a dark gray Accent SE sedan. Got out of there about 6:45, they close at 7. Parked my car at the Costco next door. I drove the new Accent back to her apartment while the girls followed in the Audi. Take it into her indoor garage, back it in to a parking space so she'll have an easy go of it tomorrow afternoon for work, and then I drove the A3 back to get my Golf.
Long [non-permissible content removed] day, we're both exhausted from three days of crunching numbers and emails up the gazoo! But it's a done deal, she's thrilled and she got a great deal.

I sat in a white over black/white Venu SEL. Had a sunroof, special 17" alloys, Apple CarPlay/Android Audio, 90 days of Sirius radio and a bunch of other goodies, those safety things I want. The seating position is similar to the Tucson I used to have, I could slide in and out. A 7" tablet style infotainment center. It's just about perfect! But I still need to see the Seltos and of course, the new Golf. The pic of the Seltos interior that I've seen has an infotainment center like the one in their new Telluride, a bit wider than the unit in the Venue. And it's also supposed to have a Bose audio system. Now, that's something that could put the Seltos at the top of my list if it sounds as good as I hope it does. And want to see the alloy wheels. Both of those things could actually make me get the Kia. But still, want to also see what VW is coming out with in the new Golf. It will probably come down to those two vehicles but, I can wait a bit until at least they start dealing a bit on them. I don't have to have a first year model. Done that twice before even though I've always said I'd never do that.
So, now I just have to be patient and wait. That I can easily do to be honest. I just put on new sneakers on the Golf plus I re-upped the 3-year alignment policy also. Sure, it is transferable once, so even if I get the Seltos, it'll just go onto that. So, best to bide my time here and be patient. Wait maybe six to eight months until the novelty wears off and dealers are ready to deal on these new vehicles. Then I'll strike and make my best deal. I can always test drive the Venue once the neighborhood store gets inventory in just to see how it drives. That I can easily do. As I've gotten older, I've learned that patience is really a virtue, and I don't need to be an early adopter on anything. Wait until the market gets saturated a bit and it ill, these vehicles are that good!
Also, saw the new 2020 Sonata next to the Venue. In a maroon color over two-tone brown. Stunning is the only word that comes to mind...it's a stunning vehicle!!!

We were very unhappy with the Chevy store and their dishonesty. Why show a Truecar price online and then add all those ridiculous fees! We would've bought the Sonic if they had just crossed them out. But the sales guy refused, so we left. A bit too sleezy for me!!!

and what might be the most stripped 2019 X3 in the country. Since the only option on it is the paint color, so I guess you would have to find a black one to be slightly cheaper!

Hers has 15" wheels and drove very nicely, accelerated so much better than her 2008 GLS. Can just imagine how good it wold be with those 17" alloys and tires.

Makes me think of something. My mom has an XV30 Camry, maintained by the book and only has around 90K miles on it. It has been virtually faultless in the decade + she has owned it. A few months ago, my brother started a new job, and has a ~40 mile daily commute. He's been "borrowing" the Camry from her, as it is more comfortable, safer, and gets better mileage than his old S10. I think it might come time to encourage her to give him or "sell" him the Camry and maybe get something newer - she's retired now, so doesn't have endless cash flow, but I'd like to see her in something with more safety equipment. She'd be after a Corolla or Camry without a doubt, or maybe a CUV (but she likes trunks).
I've seen waves of stripped 2019 X3's here and there - I've gotta think they're used a luxury rental cars and then auctioned off. There's an Infiniti/Alfa dealership here that had several of them recently - good inventory to have here in CO I imagine.

She's fine now, happy this morning and thanking us again. We told her to just concentrate on getting back to normal, give back today's day off and go to work, which she's doing. Best to get her mind off this car stuff now and move on. In a few days, it'll all be in the past and then, we need to get into our festive Hanakkah mood.
I'm leaving for Orlando Saturday morning for 8 days to relax and stay at the kids house. Going to see an old fraternity buddy while I'm there and just relax. It's been a busy year and I just need some peace and quiet.

Anyways, she got a nicer vehicle for a lot less money. Great color to. For me though, only an "SEL" would work. Like the alloys and a sunroof is always fun. A better audio system is a must also. But she's got a usb port so she can charge her cell and an aux port to listen to her iPod if she wants. She usually drives without any noise as where she lives now, there's a lot of traffic. She's moving in April on the other side of the big mall where they'll be less traffic and an easier commute to work. She works second shift, 3pm to 11:30 pm, so she's driving home at night. I'm not pleased about the situation but just have to deal with it. Hopefully when we move in a few years, she'll also move to a hospital near us in Central Florida so we'll all be within 10 or so miles of each other. This way, the girls can come and go as they please as they like touching base with us on a frequent basis. Our son, he's just the opposite so we take as much as he's willing to give. We don't push him on anything. We just want them to be happy up in the cold...and they seem to be!

Which is how I justified the Fit. “Hey, it’s a lot cheaper than a new GTI. That is my other choice, honey”.

Also, the Fit is just as much an experiment - "how cheaply can I buy a car and get it back up to reliable status?"

Now, looks like I'm going to give it about 6 months or so. Then, will test drive my three choices and go with the one that drives the best with the most features. Willing to edge towards the $30K mark but it has to be just perfect. And I can wait till I find it. And just like the Golf, I'll know within minutes which that'll be and then, we'll sit down and negotiate!

Still, looks in nice shape.!
Guess she didn't get the hint I was pointing it out for ME. I didn't even try to correct her. Maybe she did know what I was saying but that was her answer anyway. lol.
