2027 Bolt at 0.9%, or 2023 Bolt Paid in Cash?

Hi all. I test-drove a 2027 Bolt LT today for my wife. $30,926 OTD at 0.9% financing for 36 months.

My other options are: 2023 Bolt EUV Premier, 2023 Honda CRV Hybrid, and 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid. Any used car would be paid for in cash. (2023 Bolt is roughly $23k; others are in the $30k range.)

All will function to our needs, so we are hoping for the best value proposition.

Are the 2027s much better than the 2023s? With the financing, and the opportunity cost therein, it's really tempting to buy new. On a net basis, it's not that much more.

Also: The dealer said they cannot offer a discount ($29,990 MSRP sticker plus $1,000 in fees). Any tips on getting them to go lower? Financing offer expires May 31 so I would need to move quick.

Thanks!

Normal Soot?

Just cleaned my woodstove after burning daily (10-12 hours per burn) since October 1.

This soot came from the flue pipe after using a cleaner rod attached to my drill.

I burn hot for an hour with the damper open, then close for the night and use the combustion chamber.

How does my soot look? Should I try anything different?

Window Boxes!

I made these boxes out of PVC over the winter and have been waiting eagerly to fill them.

The wife had the vision; I just did the work.

Catmint, vicus, and begonia. I love them! 😍
