My 2 cents

1) Figure out the car you want to buy. Go test drive vehicles at the dealerships
2) Figure out what the ‘market value’ of the vehicle is–Edmunds, NADA, KBB, Manheim pricing
3) Buy private party. You get service records and you get to suss out the owner.
4) Get a vehicle pre-purchase inspection before you actually buy
5) Cash is king so bargain hard enough you feel you got a fair deal in a recession economy.

Dealerships are a waste of time unless you absolutely need a new vehicle or a lease

This is just lobbying / PR crap. The credit card companies are under fire for borrowing at very cheap rates and charging very high APRs to customers who actually carry balances.

They are just trying to scare ‘good’ customers into having legislators back off by ‘imposing’ fees. If they want to try it, go ahead. Good customers are in demand so they will walk if they can.

Ask yourself this. Why would housing prices increase / stay steady in the current economic climate in SD?

Pros
1) Torrey Hills has a good location
2) TH/CV is that young family demo / biotech / white collar workers. Biotech is the only part of the SD job market I believe is safe.

Cons
1) people are losing jobs. Sony just announce 10k layoffs
2) some people believe it will takr 5-10 yrs to get house price appreciation

I don’t think you’ll lose 10% in 6 months, more like a yr.
