Hi all

I am a 22 year old who is looking to buy a new truck and I was really hoping for some guidance on negotiation since Im on my own and dont really know anyone who can come with me to these dealerships.

I am looking to buy this 2019 AT4 5.3L V8 8speed tranny with 60k miles (no accidents, clean carfax, 1 owner, 43 days on lot). Dealership has it listed as 34.5k and 37,500 OTD. I have a trade in valued at 19-21k. My budget is 31-34k. My one thing is I need extended fully covered powertrain warranty (I do not want to have to worry about lifter failure, cam phasers or tranny failure). I just have never done this before and dont know whats acceptable to go down to. I would like the warranty included in the price and possibly a lower sale price as well but am I going to get laughed out of there? Is this reasonable to ask for?
I really appreciate all help!

Hello!
I have a 17 foot riveted jon boat and I decided to buy a 12v 55lb terrova purely for the spot lock feature because I am sick of trying to anchor in the hudson river
I got the trolling motor all set up and the heading sensor set up 2feet away from any strong magnetic pull and the motor. Out on the water when I press spot lock it will push the boat back, even in strong current, and hold its position very well. Keeps me pointed exactly where I set it. but after about 4m it will start turning left or right. if I press the right or left button it will correct itself and go back to where I originally had the spot lock set. Is there anyway so make it so it just stays where I want it? I have not yet calibrated or adjusted for boat scale or anything, so am I missing a setting or am i just expecting too much (this was my first time using it). The fact it is able to hold its position even in rough water for 3-5m and then starts drifting has me thinking it is a setting problem
