finding a naked 19yr old girl wondering the woods is like winning the lottery.. 1 in a billion chances of winning

No Chris, bad Chris!!!

Really would love to help find naked teen, but I don't want to get mud on my shoes. Not worth quiting my job over either.
I hear there's a good IT job in Hawaii. They must be lenient to work for because Booze is the company's first name.

Never even play my PS3 anymore. Went to play a game and both controllers were dead. Got out the Blue-Ray remote and then had to update before I could do anything. Finally gave up and turned on Sport Center. I think my lack of interest may be related to too much porn.

Up for grabs, my major dissapointment, PS3...What a peice of shit.
The Samsung it replaced is still pumping out porn in my bedroom. Yet somehow this piece of crap PS3 has yet to live up to the sonic qualities of the item it replaced.

My full game experience will wait until I kill all the Prostitutes And Fat Women in Assasins Creed 6 in 3D!!!

chris werent you saying that dealers usually only need to make 500-1000 more then trade in of vehicle? do you know if they go off kbb trade in value? or how that percentage is figured out.. saw a few rdxs i like and they are charging alot more then what even kbb suggests on them FI. trade in on 2010 tech with 45k is about 21k in excellent condition. yet dealer is asking 28k for vehicle thats a huge gap of money they are collecting

The dealer does their absolute best to take trades in for kbb fair value. So that's below excellent, below good, it's the bare minimum kbb trade in value. They will however up the anty and give more for a trade under a we circumstances; the car that the buyer is interested in is either a slow seller or they need to sell a certain amount to make an allocation quota, or it's a very expensive new car, or your trade is in high demand.

That's becoming much more frequent given that car sales are slower than they've been in recent history.

As for the price they want for the used car you are interested in comes down to two values, what they have in it and supply and demand.

Generally speaking most used cars come with around 4k - 6k in mark up on them regardless of what they took it in for.

Rules for car shopping are as follows:
Shop at the end of the month, sales quotas need to be made

If you can see the sales chart, choose the sales man with the highest sales, the more sales he makes the closer he is to a volume bonus, makes him more motivated.

Be prepared to walk away.

Give them some info, I always bring a business card, at the very start of the process, when he greets me on the lot, I hand him my business card and ask for his. Shows I am serious and am willing to negotiate. Salesmen hate "kicking tires"

When you leave, they will call you, you can continue those negotiations over the phone. Never allow a sit down session that goes beyond 30 minutes.

If you reach an agreement over the phone, tell your sales man you expect th paperwork to be completed by the time you get there, you simply want to sign and heade straight into F&I. Anything less with break the deal and be unacceptable.

Finally, do not shop, if you're not serious, if they have been around for a while they know the difference. Thus a business card above.

As for financing, interest rates can be shopped by the dealership so remember that. There are a lot of numbers they can play with, your trade value, the price of their car and the interest rate to get you where you're comfortable. You just have to be reasonable. For example, 0 down, no trade on a 30K vehicle with poor credit will not get you below 600/month lol.

Oh and here is a lil formula for how they get the first payment you see: first two digits of msrp on their car, times 2 add a 0. So:

30,000 (msrp) would factor like this:
30 * 2 = 60
Add a 0 = 600/month payments over 4 years..

Based of of zero down and average credit score of 650.

I think you just need to buy a brand new car with good incentives. Or find someone that has a access to dealer auctions to meet your price range.


Or... Hurry and scoop this one up before its gone. Tech with low miles and its White/black combo!

didn't know rdx even had fwd model. thought all 1st gen was sh-awd.



decided to check for any tuned map for flashpro, because car's been running really rich after all the bolt on parts. and I think it was running unusually rich because of faulty base map loaded on the flashpro.. even the vtec crossover is set at stock 6000rpm. wtf

luckily this vitviper (he seems pretty famous for Honda etunes) guy uploaded one map tuned for icebox, hf cat, and thermal gasket. new tuned map seems to be running much smoother and that rich fuel smell from the tailpipes are minimal now. should've done this last year... f'ing lazy
