I'll be picking up a 2024 Sonata N Line this week. 19k miles. (It was a lease trade in)
Mind you, I am coming from driving a 2004 Chevy Silverado, so my concept of "modding" is very different. Does the car need a Strut Bar installed? Also what kind of Intake / Exhaust should I be looking at?
I recently was badgered by recruiters to interview for a Mid-Level Position. I finally gave in and agreed to interview. After the interview and hearing about everything I am currently doing (currently leading an onboarding endeavor to bring on 20+ new devs) they offered me a Sr. Software Engineer position with a healthy $88k base salary pay increase.
The issue at hand is that the Insurance is significantly worse than I currently have. I have a 6% straight 401k match, while the new company only offers 2% max if i put in 4 (and their vesting schedule is 6 years).
I love what I do and who i do it with. The schedule flexibility is amazing. For the new position I would need to constantly wear dress clothes, as it is onsite at a government facility.
I went to my current manager and brought this to his attention. He said they could not match or even come close, and i told him i didnt even want them to come close. A simple $25,000 pay raise would be more than enough to keep me happy and loyal for my career.
Am I stupid?
I am torn between two Sonata N Lines at my local dealership, and plan to buy one next weekend.
2023 Sonata N Line, 49,970 miles, $22,200
2024 Sonata N Line, 18,000 miles, $29,000
Both are CPO. I am trying to figure out if 32,000 miles, one year newer and new tech is worth $6,800.
I like the front end of the 2023 significantly more than the other, but the higher mileage worries me some.
Any suggestions?
