Dealerships still have their place. I like test drives and I like walking around lots. What you see on the website or in a brochure isn't always what it looks like in reality.

The people can just fuck off though.

Thanks. Rodo and TrueCar seem to do a good job at calculating payments that include trade-ins. If I don't buy through the site, I can always just screenshot the numbers and dare a dealership to match.

are you trading? What vehicle are you looking for? Is your credit good?
I'd rather not trade in my CR-V lease unless the chip shortage will be a lot worse in August and the dealership eats the remaining payments entirely. Some dealerships are refusing to haggle or apply incentives and insisting on MSRP due to inventory shortages. It's 99% bs, but they try.

Excellent credit. Mainly looking at 2022 Tucson, 2021 Rogue, and 2021 Forester. Test drove a rental 2020 CX-5 GT on a recent vacation and was extremely disappointed with the tech inside when I got past its good looks. My options are limited because I want the latest driver assistance tech.

At the end of the day, I don't want to pay anything out the door that I'm not legally required to (i.e. NY DMV, first month, etc).

How easy is too easy? If I walk in the dealership with a TrueCar certificate is that still too easy? Because I have that in my pocket if I can't negotiate lower.

I get D-plan and I still have to put up a fight. They got you somewhere dude sorry. I know a dealership that works with me well, but the others will not at all.

Don't worry lol I still have a few months

I feel more in control than I did 3 years ago, but I hate talking to dealerships. I don't want to talk to you and when I do I'll just piss you off.

Why is it so hard to just show me a sign and drive deal on your website or listing sites? I don't want to do a fucking down payment or discover that taxes and fees weren't rolled in.

9 year-old laptop crapped out weeks before I planned to finally get a new one.

But it died and I had to buy something on the cheap to hold me over. A few Amazon gift cards and an extra stick of RAM later and I'm mostly happy. I did not expect this handle all of my anime and video post-processing as well as it is. It also supports IOMMU if I want to dare try virtualization and pass-thru.

I've used old hardware for way too long that I had unreasonable assumptions of what is currently good beyond avoiding Celeron/Pentium/Athlon.

I'm not thrilled that the temp lacks USB-C and delays my monitor setup plans, but I could use this for a year if I needed to. Hopefully the laptop I've been waiting for is only a few weeks away.

Old: Dell Inspiron 7520, Core i7 3632QM, 8GB DDR3, 128GB SSD mSATA, 500GB HDD, 1080p matte, Radeon 7730M
Temp: Acer Aspire 5 Slim, Ryzen 3 3200U, 8GB DDR4, 128GB SSD NVMe, 500GB HDD, 1080p matte IPS, Radeon Vega 3
Coming soon?: Dell XPS 15 9510, Core i7 11375H/11800H, 8/16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD NVMe, 1080p matte IPS, RTX 3050/3050ti

As much as I want to wait longer for DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, I had to draw the line. It's honestly not a good time to buy a laptop because of all the uncertainty regarding global supplies and the trajectory of both Intel and AMD. Intel's Alder Lake multi-chip setup could be messy to support and AMD isn't giving much clarity on when TB3/USB4 laptops are coming (hint: not this year). Gonna be very upset if the XPS 15 switches to AMD with no Intel model. All I want is TB4, an RTX GPU, and a Dell support subscription. Why are these things so hard to have? If Nvidia didn't cripple the GTX 1650's decoder, I would've upgraded years ago.
