Yeah. I'm looking for a budget friendly sedan and they just don't exist. I was prepared to bite the bullet and pay 20k for a used Corolla and it was a bait and switch by the dealership. I am looking at a Nissan Sentra from a private seller this week that is at least in the ballpark of my original budget so if it isn't fucked we will probably buy it. I'm prepared to just wait it out at this point, we have done without a second vehicle this long so we can wait more. I'm reading articles suggesting 6-12mo for prices to level out.
the dealer told me the used car market is supposed to cool off in about a month. He said if I went to trade in this time next month or a bit later, it'd be a completely different story. But also that new vehicles will still go for basically MSRP because there's still such a high demand.
That is crazy. Used vehicles around here are higher than normal but not crazy. We bought a used (coming off a lease) Honda CRV in December for 20k. It had about 18,000 miles on it and is in excellent condition.
And i forgot, that was just and XLT diesel, if you wanted a lariat 110k, platinum 116k, limited 130k. My used work truck i bought about 6 months ago turned out to be quite the pos, i am just holding off until the flood of new vehicles happen once all the manufactures get all there chips for the computers sorted out. Then hopefully the used market will tank and i will be able to afford a decent used one.
Luckily I got a half decent price for the truck I ordered... it's just not here yet. It sucks waiting so long, but it's not like I need it, I have my current one to hold me over.
well now I feel A LOT better about the price I got my ram at. Something tells me it would be $40-50k+ for a similarly outfitted Ford.
A plumber was changing a hot water tank in the coffee room, which is right above our storeroom. He was soldering the pipe and it got to hot and popped the sprinkler in that room. Then it just started to rain in my storeroom.
Did a quick run through of what was hit, the water ran through basically the first 3 columbs of all the rows, 600 lines of inventory, 3000 different pieces, 40k of value. Some will be fine(plastics and steel) but there was a lot of electronics and spool valves.
Damn. What a pain in the ass. Hopefully the dude’s insurance doesn’t fuck around on this and you get sorted out ASAP.
oops, missed a decimel place 400k worth of stuff could of gotten wet. and we are sitting at 80k worth of stuff that may or may not be fucked(electronics/wiring harness/valves/etc)
getting the new truck ready to take a rented RV trailer (29' OAL, a bit over 5k lbs dry ) to a park for a few days next week. Apparently my wife heard about this park from one of her reality shows with a bunch of fucktuplets, and oh btw they're gonna be at the park that week. Ya! Fuck me. Fortunately the site has complete hookups, but unfortunately I am both a) a wee bit crippled, b) have never pulled or setup an RV before, c) the rv park has some really clean sites that appear to be easy in/out looking on google earth. I told my wife I wasn't too concerned, since I've had to anchor and setup a sailboat in a hurry before an incoming storm and it can't be more complicated than that since the boat was moving. regardless, any advice?
ROTN, Practice, Practice, Practice. Take the trailer out to a nearby park and camp. Write down all the things you are missing. Better to learn this stuff at home than when you are miles away.
Pull through sites are the easiest as far as set up time, level the trailer with jacks at the four corners, shit runs downhill, run a ton of clean water through the shitter before disconnecting the sewer line if the sites are full hookups.
