My stupid pet peeves.

Buy yes. Trade not so much. They're going to offer really low prices on trades because of the glut of vehicles and falling prices. Private party is likely the best way. Already seeing some of this now. Looking at these 2016 ford explorers with 20,000 miles I'm seeing. Msrp was 42,000 . Trade 23,500 and dealer invoice is 29,000. The trade value is a 45% depreciation in one year! With the spread between trade and dealer invoice at 29%. The dealership consultants tell dealers to maintain a minimum 84% cost to invoice so a 16% spread. Meaning the cost to buy the vehicle, recondition, and keep until it sells should be at a maximum 84% of the asking price. This allows for 12% profit and 4% to the salesman. They're pricing these vehicles at 25-30% above trade and cost, and from what I've seen not budging much. Most of them offer basement prices on trades over 4 years old also.

I saw a cost breakdown yesterday that said cost to recondition and finance runs the dealer about a grand on every used vehicle. 750 on reconditioning and 250 on finance fees. Every month he has it is a month he loses equity because they finance most trade purchases. So they pay 23,500 and it's costs them 24,500 total. I start negotiations there. While that is 0% to the dealership you never know, they could be close to hitting a sales goal, bonus goal, or just need to lower their finance amount and you might end up in the 25-25,500 range which is 2-4% for them. But anything around 27k is good because that's 10% and they used to sell used cars at 10% all day long before the bubble.

You should copy that post to the thread I started about loans...that's some damn good info.

So I'm dropping a deuce as I type this. I go to pull some tp off the roll and the whole roll flys off and hits the floor. This happens on a regular basis around here. Someone doesn't know how to properly install tp

Not sure where to post this but saw this as a job requirements list for the type of job I do. I understand there are people with handicaps but the finger dexterity made me laugh.


PHYSICAL DEMANDS: Work normally requires finger dexterity and eye-hand coordination to operate computer keyboard at moderate skill level. Work may require occasional pushing, pulling, or carrying 20-pound objects such as files, documents, and computer printouts.
Work involves sitting most of the time, but may involve standing and walking for brief periods of time. Overtime is a requirement of the job.

Inconsiderate pet owners!

As I was sitting back thinking about horseshoes that thought came to mind. Then sitting here listening to a dog bark nonstop...I'm getting pissed. How can you let your dog bark for hours in the middle of the night? Let him inside, shoot him, do something so your neighbors don't have to listen to that all damn night!

Same crap camping this last weekend.

I had this problem with the neighbors. I finally said something and it has gotten much better. There was a little resistance at first. Until I said "There your dogs, you are used to it~~I am not and its annoying. "
