I know most of you guys here are "performance car" people, maybe one day....but a good performing car (handles and accelerates well), reliable, comfortable drive, and nice interior and exterior styling, will work for us. My son's Mercury Milan drives and handles really well. 240hp engine. I guess the Mazda 6 would be the closest to a performance car I'd be looking at. The new Toyota Camry SE model is really sporting looking. My son in law just bought one and really likes it. Sure.doesn't look like the typical Camry. ;-)

The shudder and vibration in my car was fairly violent. Didn't try to drive thru it though. I'd really like to see how the car does when the warm weather returns. If I still buy new, I could keep it as a spare for when my son finishes wrecking his Mercury Milan.
KBB private party is $3,500. dealership would probably give me a grand. Not AWD. A service advisor at Ford dealership said to have it checked for misfires. I'm fairly confident it's a torque converter problem, but having it checked.out by my indie may be a good idea.
As you say, the new Sonata looks good. And the Mazda6 is, I think, the best looking out of all of the regular midsize cars. And a Camry is obviously a solid car, but I don't care for how it looks from the front in the new generation. This generation of Accord is also something of an acquired taste.
It'll be interesting to hear what kind of offers you get.
If you want handling I’d go with the Mazda. Interior is better than the Camry too, IMO.

Actually, when making turns on the road, it seemed like the shuddering evened out, or dissipated.. When making sharp turn into my driveway there was a loud groaning noise from the right front suspension. Car has driven and.run fine the past 3 days, which have been much cooler. Makes me think heat is a factor with what is going.on.

Hmmm... have you checked the PS fluid?

Haven't ruled anything out, but my daughter moved about 2 hours away, so was really thinking a midsize sedan, with good mpg, would be better. I do like the visibility and higher drivers position an SUV offers.
On the Camry, were you looking at the upgraded sports edition, which is the SE? I think that model looks really sporty from the front. I've always like the Mazda 6 in red, but I've read the interior is a bit cramped.

The Mazda6 has plenty of room imho. I think it has at least as much room as the Camry, which does have that strange (to me) front end on all models.
The "jumbo" midsize sedans now are the Sonata and the Accord. They are almost full-sized, really. Big trunks and lots of back seat room in those.
But if by any chance you could live with a smaller back seat, the Acura TLX is a good deal these days, with lease prices for a base model TLX (which is like a loaded Camry or Accord) actually less than a comparably equipped Camry or Accord. For example, our local Acura dealer (I live in Louisville too) has this lease deal on a base TLX with 0 money down if you qualify somehow:
Acura Conquest/Loyalty Lease
$0 Due At Signing!
Available to current owners of a 2010 or newer Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Genesis, Honda, Infiniti, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes Benz or Volvo vehicle. $0 due at signing, $0 security deposit.
Lease a 2020 Acura TLX 2.4 8-DCT P-AWS for $289/mo. for 36 months.

They will also drop off a car so that you can test drive it at home, rather than going to the dealer:

How much info would you divulge? "Sir, trans may have slipped,.may have a torque converter problem...but I added Lubegard and some fluid....runs great....so you good to go!"
I'd probably need to drive it for a bit, with no problems, to sell to a private party.
Kyfdx checked the front axle boots. Quick glance.. Maybe I should take another look.

Just made an appointment to see the Sonata tomorrow. The internet sales woman said no test drive until the numbers are agreed.upon. WHAT? Negotiate online. No human contact. Too bad. She was fine. ;-) I balked. Another salesman calls.me,.says come on in. They'll let me drive solo. We'll see.
Probably take a look at whatever else is sitting.around.
The Sonata sounds.pretty good on paper. On price, why is there no longer any Prices Paid and Buying experience discussions on Edmunds.? I joined trucar..Thinking invoice,.minus rebates, plus tax,.plus $200 for dealer b.s would do it?
I see new Sonatas list for under $25k....sell for under $22k
2019s, under 10k miles, from about $17k to $19k
I'd prefer new....but, I find a good low mileage CPO car can be a good buy, if you aren't putting on lots of miles.
Just something to think about if price that keeps it in range.
The sales on new ones probably haven't started yet......but, with new car sales tanking, it might be worth waiting if you can.

I’m sure our water bill will be higher this month as well.

Do you routinely tell a prospective buyer about every problem you’ve ever fixed? If the brakes were worn would you tell him that or let him deduce that himself? Let the buyer test drive and answer any questions honestly is what I would do. If he says “how does it shift you could explain you fixed a glitch but it runs good now.

While I was there (about 3 miles from my Condo), I noticed there was a Publix next door and the parking lot was almost empty. So I went in and the store was almost empty. I was able to stock up on frozen vegetables and canned soup and pineapple. Also got some freshly sliced roasted turkey breast and some cheese. This was about 11:00 AM.
Maybe that's the key - shop late morning. The Publix closer to me is always jammed with seniors and they are very territorial - those aisles can be dangerous when they are on the prowl for food as all of you know from my experiences in that grocery store.

Saleslady said because of the corona virus, no contact with customers. no test drive. Originally texted that they would disinfect the car, and I could take it for test.drive. So who knows what they'll say tomorrow. Maybe I should show up wearing a hazmat suit?
