Time to buy a new car - UPDATE
Well, I did it this weekend. And actually the car salesman wasn't too bad. Other than some expected and typical sales lines ("What's it gonna take for me to get you into a new car today?", "Well, I'll tell you...[looks around the showroom]...I just want to make sure my manager doesn't hear me tell you this, but..."), the guy was ok. He did get a little ahead of himself and started to work up numbers before I had even test drove the car, but overall a pretty pleasant experience. They even called a few different finance companies to see which would offer the best deal on the car (which the Acura dealer I got my last car from didn't do). At the end of the day, I'll still owe the finance company a few grand in mileage penalties on the last lease, but managed to get the new one at invoice price. Actually it didn't take much arm twisting to convince me to get the new car after driving it. I've also driven the BMW 3-series and Audi A4, but like the Acura better. The 3-series is a little smaller and feels cramped, and I've heard horror stories about the reliability of Audi's (not to mention they're also a little small on the inside). Overall I'm very happy with the new car, and now just need to pick a name for her. All suggestions are welcome.
