Am I THAT much of a sucker if I buy a new car?

One reason I recommended a Certified pre-owned car. Also, do not buy a BMW unless you have a lot of money to spend on repairs. Also, if you buy used...important where you buy it. Dealerships who also sell new cars, usually go through the used cars thoroughly in their service departments and have some sort of waranty. I do not buy a used ca without consulting Consumer Reports. I have an online account. Feel free to PM me if you are looking at a car..I will be happy to look it up.

LOL....I sell cars. I ask the payment question for a reason that is different than you stated. Most people are very unrealistic about payment. They will be looking at a $30,000 car and say they want a $300 payment...tops.(with no down payment) It is a waste of time...and cruel...to show someone the $30,000 car...and let them fall in love with it, then go thru the finance process and find out that it is a $600 payment car. So....do not be so paranoid. You get to choose the length of the term. It will not be imposed on you by some salesperson with super powers.

I love when the sales people need to talk with their manager. I tell them, "If you're not back in ten maybe we can do this some other time"

I paid cash for both of my vehicles it's an awesome feeling not having a car payment.

 

Agreed.

 

I have had a car payment of some type since I was 15 years old.

 

One is paid off, the other....almost.

 

Will be done this year.

 

Now if I can keep my paws off of a new boat.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
