What are some good replacement exercises for deadlifts? They seem to be in every routine I see. I just think need to change it up. I think I am ok with RDLs and they are already incorporated into my workouts.
So, we are looking to replace a car. I don’t buy many cars so it’s few and far between when I go into car dealerships. I have been reading up and watching all the car buying influencers and all that… I even had a lengthy conversation about car models and strategy with AI, lol.
We narrowed it down to a few preowned cars. I got my offers from all the online car buying sites to see ballpark where we should be at. We get to the desk to talk numbers and almost every dealership they refuse to budge at all on the price, one even saying we don’t negotiate. The cars we’re looking at are not rare not that desirable and all have been on the lots for months. On top of that their trade in offers are so far off from the ones I got there was no point in trying to haggle that.
I was even to the point I had my title and check book in hand and they just said the car being on the lot four months is why we can’t negotiate the price, told us to take the carvana offer and let us leave, which I think is what we’ll have to do.
I guess my question is as far as newer (1-2 old) used cars go, is the price basically the price? I was only hoping for $750-$1000 off even though I opened up with $2000 off, which didn’t seem totally out of line.
My wife is on the market for a new car. We usually shop used. She currently has a 17 bmw x3 and likes it. It’s been a solid car. She is looking at a newer model x3. I’ve been deep diving into car buying tactics and all that a while now and I think a little better than I was, in the past. I can’t say I’ve bought many cars from dealerships and I keep them a long time, so it’s few and far between when I have to negotiate a car deal.
That being said. My wife is looking at a 24 x3 with 31k miles, it’s priced at 36,700. It looks like it’s been on at the dealership since June and it was a lease. According carfax, etc that’s a great price… is it reasonable to try to get it for 35k, than $800 doc fees and taxes or something like 36k out the door? We’d be trading in my wife’s car, this dealership has serviced her car before and sends us emails saying they’d give us about 10k on her car and did written up estimate last time we had work done so I’d expect at least that although I would get offers online to compare..
I just never know what to aim for. I always hear stories about everyone getting thousands off. Anytime, I’ve tried that it’s always been a hard No and they let me walk. No negotiations…
So, I’ve made prosciutto before with a friend. This year I’m on my own, it didn’t start off as smooth as I had planned. I ordered one ham for got it home.
It was a lot smaller than what I’ve ever used before. I followed the usual method and so far so good. It’s been hanging a little over three months. Usually, we would take it down sometime in June. Now this prosciutto is small and I’m noticing it’s getting pretty hard. I’m worried it’s to dried out now…. Would you take it down early based on size. I know people hang this for over a year sometimes, I’ve never done more that 5-6 months but they are significantly larger pieces of meat.
