WTF should I buy (A consolidated list of bad decisions)

[ScottyB]

Thanks for the tips, Scotty!

if you're looking new, you might find a great deal on one right now. end of August is the unofficial switchover to 2021 model year cars. whatever's taking up space on a dealer's lot is gonna need to go so they can make room for the new stuff coming off the trucks. poke around your local dealer (toyota should be running some good APR deals starting August, that's how we got a deal on our 4Runner last year) and get hold of a test drive.

if you wanna go deeper down the rabbit hole into new car buying tactics, i wrote a big post about it in my 4runner thread here:

good on your for keeping an open mind, and nothing wrong with going back to what's worked, if it was fun and fit your lifestyle. hard to beat that car as a learning tool.
