I’m searching for a car. Been at it for about 2 months. Biggest purchase of my life. Always had lots of anxiety with cars. Been driving for 10 years and been through over 10 cars. Not sure why but cars are really a trigger for me. Anyways I’m finally looking for a newer car because I worked my ass off to save some money, and now the stress of it, the analysis paralysis all of it is getting to me. I’ve spent days looking at cars online, in person. It’s so bad my lower lip is twitching randomly and I cannot stop it. Usually my eyes will twitch but this time it’s my lower lip. I’m also sleep deprived and have been staying up until 4 am the past few nights..I’m honestly thinking that’s the culprit.

So I moved across the country and didn’t have insurance so I stopped taking my 40 mg Prozac cold turkey. A few days in I was feeling the body aches and intense thoughts to delete myself. It’s now been over a month since my last dose so the Prozac is out of my system and I’m super depressed and anxious. I’m dealing with a lot right now with having to look for a car and then get a job and create a new life and although this stuff is stressful my head is not doing well. I’m assuming at this point this isn’t just withdrawal but that Prozac was actually helping me even though I still struggled immensely on it and had my anxiety, OCD and depression, it was in fact doing something and I was still doing much better while on it. I was on it for 15 years. My question is, if I get back on it, are the side effects that I experienced when I first got on it going to come back? (Insomnia, ED, sweating, etc) and if they do, will they subside after a while like they did previously? I had also been considering trying Lexapro, so if I’m going to deal with side effects either way, I may as well try a new drug that will potentially help me, rather than the Prozac that wasn’t doing much. Thank you so much.

TLDR: quit Prozac cold turkey after 15 years. Anxiety/depression is much worse. If I get back on Prozac after over a month off, if side effects arise, will they subside like they did the first time I took it? If they don’t, considering trying a new drug since side effects will happen either way

Just wanted to give an update. The salesman that I talked to said yes he can do $29k. I confirmed this multiple times with him. He ended up getting up and dealing with other customers. After about 3 hours of him coming over and talking with me then disappearing and so forth, another salesman came over and said idk why he said we could do $29k on that car and that it would be $37k. I said yeah that’ makes sense but that’s bs cuz he literally told me he would do that price multiple times. This second guy tried to negotiate with me on the car and I told him I will never buy from Roseville Toyota in my life after this. They were blowing smoke up my ass and playing with me. Not sure what that does for them but who knows. I’m new to the car buying process but I genuinely don’t understand lying to me for no reason and then having me wait around for 3 hours while you deal with other customers and drop in on me periodically and completely lie to me. Anyways, avoid Roseville Toyota in California. I already knew to stay away since all I’ve heard is awful stuff about the sales people but I was giving them a chance since they’re local. Bummer. I really thought I got very lucky tonight. To be honest it was at least cool that I got to experience the feeling of looking at a really nice car and feeling like it was going to be mine. The excitement I felt was well worth the let down I feel now. It was the first time where I saw something that felt like it was out of my reach, that I could potentially have. Anyways, you live and you learn.

Prices are crazy right now. Last quote I got was $36k and that’s with $1500 off msrp. Does anyone know anyone that can get me a good deal? I’m ready to buy. Looking for underground grey and second option would be silver

Test drove a Corolla yesterday and realized it’s just not enough car for me. Too small and even though I’m only 5’10, I still felt my shoulders were too wide and arms too long and it was just uncomfortable. Once I got into the 2026 Camry LE I knew I wanted the Camry. I have $30k and I’d be willing to put down somewhere between $12k-$20k dollars. That being said, I don’t want to take the depreciation hit on a brand new car even though it is tempting being that new are sometimes only a few thousand more than used. Anyways, I’m now trying to decide between a used 2023, 2024, and maybe 2025 LE Hybrid. This will be my first car that is not a bucket off fb marketplace. I really like unground grey. Second option would be white or silver. Now that I know the model I’m just looking for insight. I’m coming from absolute nightmarish cars so this is the first time in 10 years that I’m getting myself something reliable. It’ll be what I call, my first “adult car”. Thoughts?

Looking at some Camrys right now. Test drove one in underground gray. I love it. What would be a great OTD? $29k OTD? Don’t have much help with this so I’d appreciate any help. Also not sure how to add in dealer installed options and negotiate those?
