3.99% financing up here. (We would be putting down about 12-13k to keep payments at $300/month over 5 years.

$31,583.81 total after taxes

Good lord you guys get screwed up there. We got my wife's fully loaded CRV for that.

If I'm not mistaken the HrV is basically a fit.

I would definitely do some shopping around.

Fleet vehicles.

Dang I need to find these companies giving out Denalis for fleet vehicles. I'm not arguing in favor of the vehicle, as the research I've done is limited, to just finding a vehicle that fits out needs with cargo. But everything I've seen shows them as a 4-5 star rating.

Picked the new truck up today, got home and found the garage door opener to the dealership on my seat. Oops, by the driver who parked my truck in the bay.

I wish I didn't drive as many miles as I do or lease would have been the way to go for me

My employer leases a Ford Fusion (known as the Mondeo over here) for me. Love that car; It's a smooth but sporty ride, spacious, mileage is more than reasonable, and it has all the bells and whistles I like. Too bad I have to return it in a month, and I just think it's too expensive over here (about $55.000,-) for me to buy myself.

Enough room for at least 1 car seat?

Im really glad I didn't go with a lease when I got my truck. I've put on 24k miles in 8 months.

Same boat, 130mi commute each day really adds up. I'm quite happy with my Jetta TDI purchase earlier this year as I've been averaging 40+ mpg and diesel is still under $2/gal.

My wife's car (Kia sportage) is leased though and looks like she will be quite a bit over miles as we used her car a lot before I got my new one. It's not up until June 2017, but we are thinking of doing something with it this summer before the lease is up. Not sure what she wants to look into yet, but whatever it is will have AWD so she's not panicking in the snow.

I can get you/your rents X-Plan pricing if you need it. Will help save a few hundred bucks.

Pulled the trigger today and joined the cool families car club. Traded in the Lincoln MKX for a Chrysler Town & Country mini van. The wife is happy, the kids are happy and I'm just happy go lucky. (I drive a 2015 Dodge Charger)

Owned one of these years ago and with 4 kids it was ideal. Enjoy!

Thanks! We thought about going up to their Wesley Chapel location but neither one of us can stand those commercials.

He has dealerships up in NY too and I will never buy a car there just based on the commercials.

Signed for a custom build on a Mercedes AMG C450 Thursday night, build is scheduled for the last week of May. The wait is going to suck, but I'm excited for it to get here.
