ThunderTrain 05/11/21 2:23:07 PM #1:	I know right now is probably the worst time ever to try and find a used car, but my current car is from 2005 (Got it in 2010) and it just keeps running into problems. I'm looking at some 2018 Mazda CX-5s since they seem to have some pretty good reviews and I've found a couple with less than 20,000 miles on them. But, I've never had to do this before lol so what are some things that I should look out for? --- Without this nobody reads the last line of a post Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar <cite>ThunderTrain posted [p:953794781] in Going to l...

BuckVanHammer 05/11/21 2:26:25 PM #2:	thats a good pick. had a 2016 cx 5 and had no problems at all with it. so here's what I do. I go in knowing exactly what I want and the price I want to pay. don't go in without knowing these. don't fall for negotiation tricks with financing. get that shit in order before you go. if they do offer better rate, take your time and review that shit thoroughly. thats its. its pretty painless if you do just these things. --- Minimal, yet feature rich. https://imgur.com/bphehs8 <cite>BuckVanHammer posted [p:953794875] in Going to l...

HighOnSolar 05/11/21 2:34:21 PM #3:	bought a new car recently and fuck going into dealers, had so much time wasted and got jacked around for no reason. Figure out exactly what you want and the most youll pay (factor insurance registration tax etc) and go to Carvana or vroom or something. It sounds like youre shopping for something similar to what I was, Dont settle for salvage and do figure out what youll settle for as far as blemishes/mileage/interior colors/whatever. Mazda CX-5 was one of my potentials, ended up going with a 2017 vw Tiguan for the engine but the cx had really nice options. --- Surf <cite>HighOnSolar posted [p:953795122] in Going to l...

SiO4 05/11/21 2:46:12 PM #4:	I'm about to call up a car place by me and request an order, if they are still doing that. I want a used Saab. ...Well, I guess they are all used now. I feel so dumb for not pulling the trigger on one I test drove, in town, just a few weeks ago. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.

ThunderTrain 05/12/21 10:46:58 AM #6:	Update: The first car I looked at was awesome. Drove really smooth. 2018 with only 11,000 miles and it was a lease before they got it. I'm talking to the guy today about looking at what the cost would be. It's also listed about $2,000 less than what the KBB value is. --- Without this nobody reads the last line of a post Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar <cite>ThunderTrain posted [p:953822919] in Going to l...
