Though orders are probably the way to go.

Couldn't find much unfortunately. Thank you though!

I work full time. Have a decent size family kh. No wife but I do have a husband. The secret is multi tasking+ doing it a few minutes at a time over a few days.

And I didn't feel any pressure to follow up and keep track. I looked at email responses when I had time and ignored them when I didn't. I followed up on ones that sounded promising.
And make sure to use a second phone number & email.

Got to take this out of the “just once” thread ;)
A bit of inflation on that hour too :)
Relieved to report that stayed just once.

Picked up the Sienna today from Elmira NY, 288 miles from Lakewood

Anyone interested in buying a 2008 Suburban with 145k miles?

Anyone interested in buying a 2008 Suburban with 145k miles?

Almost got one from a diff dealership near there. Bh I now have one on a truck from Florida. I started my search by going on truecar & reaching out to dealerships on there that showed what I wanted in stock. None of them actually did & many were over msrp. I then just randomly chose a location on Google maps searched Toyota & just called any dealership. Put together a list of ones that would be willing to sell at msrp & that had a possibility of selling what comes in their next allocation. Was in contact with a few dealerships over the next week or two like that & then a dealership I had contacted on truecar from Florida emailed me that they have what I was looking for avail. Everything was right besides the color but at that point I had convinced my wife that we gotta just take it. Bh it’s on a truck & we should have it by the end of the week.

Anybody know anything about getting an extended Toyota care? First two years are free & im wondering what my options are past that & if it’s worth getting?

Now have to figure out what to do with my odyssey lease. If anybody knows a Honda dealership that’s willing to pay the value of the car to buyout the lease please pm me.

Why would you buy a new car in the current market when you still have an ongoing lease?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Looking for some advice..... I have a 2019 Honda odyssee EX-L that I can purchase now for 21k or return and lease a new one or different mini van. Any advice to get the best bank for my buck?

2019 Odyssey EX-L's are selling for much higher right now. I'd buy that out and flip it now before prices fall more. Or...I'd be happy to buy off that lease for you and take the car...

In the current market where prices are dropping steadily, you will generally make/save the most by keeping your old car for longer. Even if your used car loses $5k in value over the next 6 months, if you can then save $10k on a new car you will come out ahead. Therefore, I would suggest buying out and if you want a new car in 6-12 months you can sell this one.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Already extended it over a year. I didn’t want to keep it long term. I got a Sienna at msrp with a great financing rate of 3.9% over 60 months. & Be’h I hope to offset a nice amount of my down payment with buying out & selling my odyssey. Whatever money I save by waiting to buy a car I lose by not selling my van now…

I misunderstood your post to mean you are still in middle of a lease and trying to get out early.

Yes, will need to buyout myself - which means paying tax & waiting for title which means price can go down & only then would I be able to sell to them. If a Honda dealership buys it out they don’t pay tax… & if I can find one that would pay me close to market value that’s the home run
