Call and tell the salesman you need to have a private showing because you need to see how sitting in it feels on your bare skin.Thanks. I will read the thread.I do know a little about negotiation.
Went to the dealer because I'm deciding between getting the same car that was totaled and a different one, and I wanted to sit in the latter one and see how it felt (no test drive).
Best way to negotiate is to do as little as possible. I like to pit dealers against each other for the privilege of my business and get the best deal in the process.Thanks. I will read the thread.

You can definitely negotiate... It was a unique circumstance (classic car), but my last major accident I got roughly double the insurance company's initial offer. It took about a month of negotiating, and a lot of work detailing exactly why their offer was total bull####. If the offer is fair, and in the ballpark of what the replacement value is, I would just take it.krista4 said:
I laughed, but then I looked into it. Appears I could fly to Salt Lake City and buy one for about $5k less. Quick flight down, then a 13 hour drive back. Under serious consideration.
My in-laws are in Lake Tahoe, and everyone drives Subarus there too. Same bull#### mark-up at the dealerships. My mother-in-law went to her credit union and they have a car buying service where they negotiate for you and managed to get one from a dealership (I think) in the Bay Area that ended up being $4,000 less than she could negotiate any of the dealerships up there to. The credit union even got it delivered to the branch. Don't know if something like that is even an option up therekrista4 said:
That's very cool. I don't know if I have such an option, but I don't mind going somewhere and driving it back. I love to drive.
Steroid shot. Helped with the pain quite a bit. Still cant walk on it and putting any weight on it leaves it ache a little bit. So next step is MRI on Tuesday. There is a possibility of slight cartilage damage also. So we will check that out and see If we replace the knee.
Basically injecting sugar water and ozone into the kneecap.
Steroid shots work. They calm down the pain pretty well. Problem is that its not fixing anything and in fact degenerates the knee/tissue.
Hope that works. I started out with a small tear in the meniscus. Walked on it fine into pt. Came out fine with 20 percent more range of motion. Was happy and was told this would heal in 12 weeks. Next day, which was 15 days ago, I have not been able to walk on it and incredibly painful until today. So last Tuesday we gave it the shot and hoping it was just thr meniscus and that would fix it. But he also thought the massive aching my be some bleeding in cartilage area. So much fun.
Three a day was my max. Dont know if I could have skipped a day those first few days. Pain was insane.
grow up earth mama, that 3000 penalty puts you within 5k of a markedly superior car,
yes. but make sure they arent cheaper in Texas, i could drive to boise and meet you. or tahoe.Wanna come drive a car from Boise with me? Getzlaf says drinks are on him.
Make them cry! Video it, so furley sees how it’s done.krista4 said:
Replace the knee? I have seriously f’d With my knees and feel that I am no where near replacing either one of them. The left one is held together by some dead guys’ Achilles’ tendon.(Henry) It has nearly no meniscus. Cartilage? Lacking. Right knee? Has some congenital defects, meniscus issues and again, cartilage?
My mom, one tough s.o.b., went through years of agony with bad hips. She had then both replaced in around 8 months. The relief from pain was staggering. Her take? Whytf didn’t I do this earlier. Modern medicine is miraculous.
They’re not for everyone, but I’m not an ipa fan like the rest of the world either. Watching shows with characters that have monotone voices always help me relax/fall asleep. Ghost Adventures is a good one for this.Never had a sour I liked.
Worked an insane 14 hour day today, can’t seem to unwind.
I don’t know about Washington, but if I do that here I have to pay double the registration fees and potentially an import tax into the state.
There’s a use tax that’s the same rate as the sales tax, but you get a credit for any sales tax you paid elsewhere. Basically you just end up paying the WA sales tax rate.
Nice. I was mildly upset at the import tax on my recent car purchase and I believe threatened to my family to challenge the statute constitutionally as an improper interstate duty until I realized it was going to be less than the filing fee.
But it’s the principle!
Wait...what are you saying here? Hank's, like, a zombie? Wight? Ghast?
My wife got to hear my “are you kidding me?” speech and then asked me how much it was. I looked. It was like $150.
I appreciate your having mentioned this. It’s nice how we GMTANners look out for each other.
I think you should do this. And please pick up some InNOut in SLC for me. All the drinks when you get to Boise.
