Buying a new vehicle

[BigD]

I've watched a lot of YouTube videos on a lot of different new cars and trucks. I have visited the CarEdge YouTube videos as they discuss what's going on in the car markets. In this video they (a father and his son) talk about how to negotiate buying an automobile. The father once owned a dealership and is onto the games they like to play.

They do a role play towards the end of their video that teach people how to negotiate for the best deal without having to go into the dealership until the price of the vehicle is already decided. I thought it was pretty interesting and informative. I have already used these types of methods myself which has saved me significant amounts of money and time.

Consumer Reports has excellent suggestions for buyers.

Consumer Reports has excellent suggestions for buyers.

I really enjoy the consumer reports YouTube videos. I am driving a 2011 Honda CRV that we bought new when we lived in Georgia. I have always done or have done all the required maintenance on it. It has about 110K miles on it.

One day I was watching consumer reports it was about cars that can be expected to go 200K to 300K miles if they were maintained properly. Got to the number one car and I was surprised it was Honda CRV's between the years of 2007 to 2012. We also always kept it garaged and having bought and drove it in the State of Georgia for more than half of those fifteen years also helped to keep the rust off of the car.

People here in Utah have commented on how clean the car looks. So, I have decided it will be our run around car or if we are going to an event where people are just parking next to each other where there are no lines to make parking spots. rather than taking the newer SUV's we have.

Here is a sample of the videos I have watched. Interesting that I bought my wife a new 2023 Mazda CX-5 and she loves it. Also, interesting that I am considering every vehicle discussed in this YouTube. All of them are high demand cars as far as consumers are concerned. The Toyota's mentioned require a deposit and then you are put on a waiting list.

My only concern with the 2026 Honda CRV's is there is no spare tire provided just a small tire repair kit. WTF??? Have these guys never driven through, Western Nebraska, Wyoming, North or South Dakota??? Those are the lands of desolation. Can you imagine driving your CRV and getting a flat in a snow storm in any of those states? No spare tire......... seriously????? That's insane!!!
